U.S.-China relations. Policy differences and trade relations are expected to exacerbate in 2010. The role of the U.S. as a supplicant to China in 2009 may lead to frustration and stepping back. US-China relations are tense because of continuing trade pressures and large trade deficits as China continues with its export model. Currency issues also an irritant.

U.S. 2014 Navy exercizes in Subic Bay, Philippines, and in Hawaii (Pacific Rim) signalling hope and wariness in U.S.-China relations
07/02/2014
China is participating with the U.S. in the Pacific Rim naval exercizes in Hawaii. At the same time the naval exercizes in the Philippines are intended to counter China's influence and territorial claims in the region. Japan's shift in interpretation of Article 9 of the Constitution to allow "collective self-defense" is also intended to counter China and ally N. Korea's missiles. The shift is approved by Japan's cabinet at about the same time as the naval exercizes. U.S. experts on China such as World Bank head Zoellick see peaceful development and cooperation but there is wariness following territorial claims and counter claims in the Pacific. South Korea remains wary of Japan but is also wary of China's ally N. Korea, and generally supports the U.S. efforts in the Pacific. The key is to manage tensions in a constructive way with cooperation and dialogue.

12/19/2015
China is rapidly increasing the size of artificial islands in the South China seas from 2000 acres to 3000 acres in 2015. According to international law rocks give China sovereignty over 12 nautical miles from the rock, there is no such sovereignty when it comes to reefs that are covered in high tide.

U.S. President Obama's trip to the Philippines, Malaysia, and Japan in 2014, to build relationships with allies in East Asia
04/28/2014
After the Russian takeover of the Crimea, the U.S. takes step to prevent a miscalculation by Beiijing about U.S. ties to Japan and its allies in the Asia-Pacific region. China declared a no-fly zone over parts of the seas bordering China without discussions with regional neighbors. The dispute over the Senkaku islands is also in the background, as the U.S. president reassures Japan about its support and treaty obligations. The Philippines called the U.S. back to naval facilities decades after the U.S. naval bases were vacated. This shows that the Obama administration's moves to remain inactive through the crises in Syria and other parts of the world may have emboldened Russia to take unilateral actions, and could lead to an accidental escalation as a result of this policy.

The current president Ma from the Koumintang party has seen his support drop in opinion polls to 20%. He pursued close economic ties with China, and met recently with Chinese president Xi Jinping in Singapore. Andrew Browne of the WSJ says the Taiwanese are opposed to reunification with China, and do not see integration in the manner of Hong Kong Kong's integration with China as an option. The events in Hong Kong with carefully controlled democratic governance may have led to increasing support for Taiwan to continue its current free elections and system of government.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
