    China’s rise is reversing

    China is not going to return to 10% annual growth rate. However, they are also not to be Japan with 1% growth rate. For the foreseeable future (at least for another decade), China will grow faster than the developed economies. They still some way to go to catch up to other developed East Asian...

    China’s rise is reversing

    Eh, quite a poorly written article by FT. The fall in share of nominal GDP for the past 2 years is mainly due to currency depreciation and lower than global average inflation in China. It's not gonna continue every single year. Likewise, the temporary strong USD and high interest rates due to...

    Progress in the Global Fight Against Child Mortality, US infant mortality rate ranks behind China

    It's not about the money, it's about the design of the system. The US healthcare system is dysfunctional and is notorious in other countries for being extremely wasteful. In Singapore, our politicians love to point at the US as a boogeyman and say that spending more doesn't necessarily mean...

    Starbucks opens new Hanoi outlet to reach 100 stores in Vietnam

    I remember going to Chengdu a few years ago and Starbucks was everywhere. Full of youngsters queueing. I didn't get it. The average starting graduate salary was around ~RMB4K monthly then? I wondered why are there so many youngsters willing to spend ~1% of their monthly income on a cup of...
