We are in a moment where polarised debates and discussions are abundant and easily available on social media leading to heightened emotional states and feelings of overwhelm.

#CHINA: As with most things related to CPC #共产党 leadership dynamics, the broader questions related to the cancelation of the post-National People’s Congress #全国人大press briefing are—❶ Who decided this change? ❷ Why it was thought necessary? ❸ And other considerations. For example ❶+❷, did Premier Li Qiang #李强 self-forfeit this traditional media press event to demonstrate a greater filial Party allegiance to Xi, or did Xi, in the aftermath of previous public signs of slightly dissenting independence stemming from Premier commentary (e.g. Li Keqiang’s #李克强 occasional divergent stances), wrest the meeting away from the Premier to insure a lock-step, airtight sense of agreement on China’s current path, esp Chinese economic policy, which has particularly faced internal/external scrutiny for its current lack of a post-COVID resiliency and need for potentially further disruptive post-export domestic economic structural reforms. And of course, given the previous Premier’s questionable shadowy demise at only 68yo in a Shanghai hotel swimming pool on 27 Oct 2023—is this all Xi signaling (much like Putin appears to have ‘signaled’ with Navalny)—that any divergence on policy opinion or any displays of internal Party discord will simply no longer be tolerated? And a further reflection that within the internal CPC factional warfare construct—a more stringent control outcome of the New Zhijiang army #之江新军 （aka Xi Jinping faction #习近平派系) winning out over that of the more populist leaning ‘CYL’ #共青团 #团派 faction (aka the ‘Maximum Xi’ outcome of the 20th Party Congress #二十大)? h/t Lingling Wei at The Wall Street Journal #geopolitics #China #NPC #media #politics

President Ronald Reagan delivered this speech a few decades ago. "If we ever close the door to new Americans our leadership in the world would soon be lost." What if all the people and their depicted leaders wish to implement the same ideology everywhere? 1. People will be given authority to enter any country, anytime. 2. People should carry a valid legal document, most likely the travel document/ passport. 3. This travel document should be transferable if people wish to relocate to a specific country for a certain period. 4. There should be some pre-established document transfer fee for the countries who have significantly low indirect taxes. Certainly, language, education, skills, abilities, experiences, and adaptability will decide what the newcomer can do in the specific country while he/ she stay. 👉 What do you think, will this be the future on this blue planet? 👉 What will be the drawbacks or anticipated problems? #globalcitizenship #globalcitizen #globalcooperation #circulareconomy

Today July 14 is French National Day for all French worldwide but also to all world citizen who often see it just as a symbol of the French Revolution and just call it “The Bastille Day”. But it’s much more then just that. The French national holiday, July 14th, indeed commemorates the storming of the Bastille in 1789, a symbolic event of the French Revolution. It officially became France's national day in 1880 almost a century later when the French government decided to celebrate it annually to mark national unity and republican values such as liberty, equality, and fraternity. The aftermath of the French Revolution indeed also marked decades of political changes, instability, and various political regimes in France (including monarchy, republic, empire), hence the government of the Third Republic sought to strengthen national unity. Choosing July 14th as the national holiday aimed to unite the country around a symbolic date of freedom and unity. Overall, July 14th serves as a day of celebration, reflection, and unity for the French people, reinforcing their sense of belonging and shared culture, history, and contributions to democracy and civil rights. Vive la France, Vive la République!

https://lnkd.in/dY6ieicd As we move into the 18th and 19th centuries, we'll examine the rise of Prussia, the Napoleonic Wars, and the unification of Germany under Otto von Bismarck in 1871. We'll delve into the rapid industrialization and modernization of the German Empire, as well as its colonial ambitions and rivalries with other European powers. The video will then cover Germany's fateful role in World War I, the collapse of the empire, and the turbulent years of the Weimar Republic.
