Why China and the US must set aside their differences to tackle the coronavirus crisis
Sunday, 19 January 2020 / Published in By Kishore Mahbubani
The Covid-19 outbreak is occurring at a time when global organisations, including the WHO, are weakened, making it imperative for world powers to step up
Just as they did for the global financial crisis, the US and China should convene a special G20 summit to form a coordinated response to the pandemic, before it kills more people
Sometimes the most obvious lesson from a global crisis is the hardest one to see.The most obvious lesson from the rapid global spread of the novel coronavirus is that Planet Earth has become – like the ill-fated Diamond Princess, moored off Japan, and the Grand Princess, moored off California – a virus-infected cruise ship.
In theory, the 7.5 billion inhabitants of planet earth live in 193 separate countries. In practice, these separate countries have functionally become cabins on the same ship. Why? After decades of accelerating globalisation, millions of people, goods and services travel across borders. Viruses take the same routes.Despite China's valiant efforts to contain the virus, it has now reached all corners of the earth, with countries as far apart as Italy and South Korea being seriously affected.
One undeniable hard truth is that humanity now lives in a single, deeply interconnected health ecosystem. The data confirms this.
On February 23, China had about 77,000 cases and 2,500 deaths. The rest of the world had fewer than 2,000 cases, with 17 deaths. Barely two weeks later, China's number of cases crept up 5 per cent to about 80,000. The figures for the rest of the world jumped to 25,000 – a 1,300 per cent increase.
As of Thursday, out of 193 countries, 114 countries have been hit by Covid-19. As the World Health Organisation (WHO) says, we now face a global pandemic.
Humanity claims to be the most intelligent species on planet earth. The most intelligent response to living in a single health ecosystem would be to strengthen global organisations, like the WHO, to manage it.
With global organisations weakened, the only solution is for the world's most powerful countries, including the US and China, to step up.
Sadly, we have been doing the opposite. Professor Kelley Lee, of the University of Washington's Department of Global Health, has documented how the mandatory funding portion of the WHO went down from 62 per cent in 1970-71 to 28 per cent in 2006-07. This decline has crippled the WHO's ability to recruit long-term staff to manage global pandemics. Sadly, even after the Covid-19 had broken out, the Trump administration announced that it would slash its annual funding of WHO from US$123 million in 2020 to US$58 million in 2021.
With global organisations weakened, the only solution is for the world's most powerful countries, including the United States and China, to step up to the plate.Fortunately, there has been a recent precedent for both to cooperate to deal with a global crisis. Just over a decade ago, at the height of the Global Financial Crisis, the US and China, together with other G20 countries, agreed at the G20 Summit in April 2009 to launch a coordinated global stimulus package to pull the world back from a financial precipice. It succeeded. Similarly, the US and China should again band together with other G20 countries to respond to the equally perilous Covid-19 outbreak.

WHO declares coronavirus crisis a pandemic
Unfortunately, the pandemic has broken out at the same time as the US-China global geopolitical contest has gained momentum. In my forthcoming book, Has China Won?, I document the deep structural forces driving this rivalry. The recent speeches by the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Defence Secretary Mark Esper also confirm the contest is now in full swing.
The dilemma that both powers face now is whether they can occasionally set aside their differences to work together when they face a common threat like Covid-19. The rest of humanity hopes they will do so.Fortunately, there has been a long history of collaboration in the health sector. The US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta successfully identified the H5N1 bird flu after China's Department of Health failed to do so. As a result of the US-China collaboration, the bird flu – which had a fatality rate of 60 per cent compared with about 2 per cent for the novel coronavirus – was associated with 455 deaths.
By contrast, the Covid-19 pandemic has already killed more than 4,900 people. Underscoring the necessity of the US to collaborate across borders to deal with the crisis, the US Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said: "We cannot hermetically seal off the United States to a virus. And we need to be realistic about that." US President Donald Trump's shock announcement that he would ban all travel from Europe indicates his awareness of how serious the situation has become.
So far, the Trump administration has sent conflicting signals on whether it would collaborate with China. Trump has praised the efforts of President Xi Jinping to control the outbreak. However, the US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said, somewhat gleefully, that the coronavirus could "help to accelerate the return of jobs to North America".
The data does not support Ross' claim. The global economy has begun to weaken in the wake of the pandemic, with stock markets falling in response, highlighting once again how interdependent our global system has become. Ross is also probably unaware, as reported in The New York Times, that "many of the active ingredients in life-saving generic drugs – the ones that stock hospital crash carts and maintain our daily well-being – come from China and India". If this supply stops, many more people could die from the coronavirus.
If humanity decides to take on board the real lesson from Covid-19 – that we all live together in a virus-infected cruise ship – the rational next step for the US and China to take would be to, once again, convene a G20 Summit of world leaders and immediately launch a strong and coordinated global response to the pandemic, before it kills more people. Fortunately, Trump knows that he needs a strong global economy powering a strong American economy to help his re-election prospects.
If Presidents Trump and Xi were to jointly announce that they are calling for a special G20 Summit, it would provide a massive boost to global confidence that the world is finally coming together to deal with Covid-19. Indeed, if Trump wants a quick fix to stop the falling stock markets, such an announcement could do it
The skills of the US and China are also complementary in the health field. The US still has the best medical research institutes. China has developed the best institutions of public administration to manage such health challenges. If the two of them could set aside their geopolitical differences temporarily and launch a massive joint effort to contain the coronavirus, the world would be much better off. The six billion people who live outside the US and China would also be massively relieved.
Our dangerously infected cruise ship, Planet Earth, desperately needs such decisive actions.
East and West: Trust or Distrust?
Source: Edelman Trust Barometer
The world stands at one of its most important crossroads in human history. As we move inexorably away from the brief era of Western domination of human history, societies from the East and the West will have to find a new balance. And there are two clear paths that the East and West can take: towards convergence or divergence.
In theory, there should be divergence. Many Asian societies and civilizations still have strong memories of Western domination. At its peak, the West trampled on the Islamic world, effortlessly colonized India and humiliated China. As once downtrodden societies recover their civilizational strength and vigor, it would be perfectly natural to return with a desire to wreak vengeance on the West. As Samuel Huntington once famously predicted, the world should be experiencing a clash of civilizations.
Instead, the opposite has happened. Thanks to the generous gifts of Western wisdom, especially the gift of Western reasoning, there is a fundamental convergence taking place in the dreams and ambitions of young people in both East and West. As Larry Summers and I observed in our 2016 essay "The Fusion of Civilizations," "most people around the world now have the same aspirations as the Western middle classes: they want their children to get good educations, land good jobs, and live happy, productive lives as members of stable, peaceful communities. Instead of feeling depressed, the West should be celebrating its phenomenal success at injecting the key elements of its worldview into other great civilizations."
A few years later, Yuval Noah Harari reached the same conclusion when he observed in Sapiens that nearly all humans today share the same geopolitical, economic, legal, and scientific systems. As he argues, "today when Iran and the United States rattle swords at one another, they both speak the language of nation states, capitalist economies, international rights and nuclear physics." There is no better living proof of the possible psychological convergence between Iran and America than the foreign minister of Iran, Mohammad Javad Zarif. His deep knowledge and understanding of Western history and culture would put many great Western minds to shame.
Thanks to the spread of Western wisdom and the global convergence on norms such as the rule of law, the societies with the highest levels of trust in both government and business today are China, Indonesia, India, and the UAE, much higher than in many Western countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and France.
The magical benefits of greater convergence between Eastern and Western minds can be seen in the most competitive human laboratory of the world. When young entrepreneurs flock to Silicon Valley in search of the next start-up and when young freshmen enroll in the greatest Ivy League universities, they are barely aware that they come from the East or the West. Instead, they speak a common language of aspirations and see no problem collaborating across cultures in search of achieving extraordinary excellence. Similarly, when Chinese university presidents strive to create the best universities in the world, they know that they have to emulate the best practices of American and European universities. In short, many forces are pushing the 7.5 billion people of the world towards greater convergence. All this should naturally lead to greater trust between the East and the West.
Yet, there are also equally strong forces pushing humanity towards divergence. One has already broken out: the geopolitical contest between the U.S. and China. This will be a multidimensional contest, in economics and politics, in the military and cultural spheres. Kiron Skinner, the former director of policy planning in the State Department, astutely observed that this would be the first struggle that the U.S. would have with a "non-Caucasian power." She put her finger on a key factor that would lead to distrust between the U.S. and China.
This distrust explains how the forces of science and technology, which have been propelling humanity towards a common understanding of our natural world and which have built bridges across cultures, can now become a divisive force. If a German or French (or even Japanese or Indian) telecommunications company had been the leader in developing 5G technology, the U.S. would have acquiesced. However, when a Chinese company, Huawei, became the technological leader, the U.S. balked and decided to throttle Huawei. As Tom Friedman presciently observed, "However much justified, this move was the equivalent of China freezing out Apple and Microsoft. It was an earthquake in China's tech lands… Lots of Chinese tech companies are now thinking: We will never, ever, ever leave ourselves again in a situation where we are totally dependent on America for key components. Time to double down on making our own."
The struggle over Huawei is only the tip of a massive iceberg. The U.S. will make a major effort to "decouple" itself from Chinese technology, perhaps in the hope that this will stall China's development. It could. But it would be unwise to bet on it. As Asia's leading historian Professor Wang Gungwu has wisely observed, China is the only major civilization that has fallen down four times and stood up again each time. Right now, it has only just begun to revitalize its civilizational sinews. The return of China is unstoppable.
Having defeated the mighty Soviet Union without firing a shot, it would be perfectly natural for American strategic planners to believe that America will prevail again. And it well could. However, the world of 2020 is vastly different from the world of 1950 when the Cold War began. All round the world, strong and self-confident societies are emerging. The 6 billion people of the world who live outside the U.S. and China will not be easily dragooned to join one side or another. They will make their own choices.
America and the West could well learn some valuable lessons from how China's Asian neighbors manage the rise of China. Many of these neighbors share some Western concerns about the rise of China. However, having lived with China for thousands of years, they also know it would be futile to stop China. Instead, each of the neighbors, including major and middle powers like India and Japan, South Korea and Vietnam, will make pragmatic adjustments: pushing back against China when necessary, cooperating when it is mutually beneficial.
As the 21st century progresses steadily towards a multicivilizational world, the West could well learn a lesson or two from supple Asian minds. Instead of seeing the world in black and white terms, where binary choices are made between trust and distrust, the West could learn to live with successful non-Western societies, which were both similar and different from Western societies. They will share some key Western attitudes and retain their unique civilizational identities in other dimensions. This may well be the biggest test for Western societies in the realm of trust: can they "trust" societies that will never be fully Western in their identity?

Formula 1 Hot News
F1: Will Mohammed Ben Sulayem's latest antic be his undoing?
Posted by AR1 staff January 25, 2023
The current owners of Formula 1 have lashed back at the president of the sport's governing body, and it's the latest in many snafus that he has made to piss off Liberty Media, the team owners and F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali.
It is now 'open warfare' between F1's regulator and its commercial rights holder, and it could get quite ugly.
After it emerged that commercial rights holders Liberty Media had fielded a reported $20 billion offer from Saudi Arabia's public investment fund, FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem sounded off on Twitter.
"As the custodians of motorsport, the FIA, as a non-profit organization, is cautious about alleged inflated price tags of $20bn being put on F1," he said.
Although Liberty Media turned down the Saudi approach, its Formula 1 organization was clearly incensed at the FIA president's public intervention.
In a letter, which was copied to all ten Formula 1 teams, F1 said Ben Sulayem's comments – which are still live on Twitter – were "unacceptable" and had "interfered with our rights in an unacceptable manner".
The teams, and the FIA, are yet to publicly comment on the letter laying out Liberty Media's declared "exclusive right to exploit the commercial rights" of the sport.
"Further, the FIA has given unequivocal undertakings that it will not do anything to prejudice the ownership, management and exploitation of those rights," it added, insisting that it is "wrong" to suggest that the FIA must rubber-stamp any buyout deal.
"To the degree that these comments damage the value of Liberty Media Corporation, the FIA may be liable as a result," the letter warned.
This may hinder Andretti's efforts to get approved
Mohammed Ben Sulayem has been very supportive of Michael Andretti's efforts to enter a team in F1, but the teams have consistently pushed back for fear of losing revenue.
Both sides must approve the entry.
Things have escalated dramatically in recent week thanks to social media posts on Ben Sulayem's personal account. The first was criticizing pushback over Andretti's new team bid, even though current competitors had largely kept their initial pushback private on the matter until Ben Sulayem went public.
This war between the two sides could result in Andretti's entry being denied.
Clearly his remarks about the Saudi interest and a $20 billion price tag being too high have proven to be a step too far because the market cap of FWONA stock currently stands around the $16 billion level. So a big to buy of $20b is quite reasonable.
A lawsuit by Liberty Media against Mohammed Ben Sulayem and/or the FIA could be so large it would completely bankrupt Ben Sulayem and the FIA itself.
How much longer before we hear demands that Ben Sulayem resign?

Federation of BiH finally adopts hate crime regulation
Six years after Republika Srpska and Brčko District, Federation of BiH also regulated hate crimes through its Criminal Code. The amendments to the Criminal Code of FBiH including hate crime regulation were adopted in the FBiH's Parliament in April of 2016, but were only published in the FBiH's Official Gazette No 46/16 on 15th of June of 2016. Finally all three BiH's administrative units have hate crimes regulated within their criminal codes.
These amendments regulate hate crimes as every criminal act committed because of the race, skin colour, religious belief, national or ethnic origin, language, disability, gender, sexual orientation or gender identity of the victim. Criminal Code also stipulates that this motivation is to be taken as and aggravating circumstance of any criminal act unless the code itself stipulates harsher punishments for qualified forms of criminal acts.
Sarajevo Open Centre as a member of the Coalition for combat against hate speech and hate crime welcomes these long awaited amendments, as the result of all the hard work and advocacy of all the members of Coalition and other BH and international organisations.
Vladana Vasić, Sarajevo Open Centre's programme coordinator told the media: "The fact that the newly adopted regulation explicitly mentions sexual orientation and gender identity as protected characteristics is of utmost importance for the protection of lesbians, gay men, bisexual and transgender persons. We, as Sarajevo Open Centre, but also the Coalition itself will advocate that in the future sexual characteristics are also included in the list of protected characteristics thus protecting explicitly intersex persons."
Snježana Ivandić Ninković, the director of the Association of Democratic Initiatives another member of the Coalition, stated: "it is necessary for FBiH to introduce education for law officers and judiciary in order to enable adequate implementation of the adopted regulation in all the criminal acts motivated with prejudice in the future."
Sarajevo Open Centre members also warn that the inevitable step in vombating hate crimes is alo the adequate regulation of hate speech. FBiH still has to amend the criminal act of incitement to hate and intolerance, which currently only prohibits such incitement on the ground of race, nationality and religion, to correspond with the new hate crime regulation in order to fulfil the purpose of both of these criminal acts.
Since the December of 2012, as a member of the Coalition for Combat against hate speech and hate crime Sarajevo Open Centre has worked on raising the awareness of the public and authorities of hate crimes and their negative consequences to the society. In 2013. SOC made a proposal of the amendments to the Crimial Code of FBiH, which adequately defines hate crimes and the incitement of hate and intolerance. You can find more about the Coalition, as well as this proposal of amendments here.

One of the most common questions we are asked is "What's it like to be a twin?" Our response is always the same, we look at each other and shrug our shoulders, "Well...we like it." It's not something we really think about because it's all we know. Being a twin seems very ordinary to us.
Click here to watch our video or scroll down to keep reading!
Most people find identical twins intriguing but no one really knows why. Perhaps it's the doubling of a human or the secret bond that can only exist when you begin life at the exact same moment in time. My sister and I do feel one another's emotions when we are physically apart. We interrupt each other mid-sentence and will continue the conversation back and forth as if we are sharing the same thoughts. Of course we each have our own brain but we seem to know what each other is going to say.
What seems ordinary to us and not so ordinary to the world around us, we took the time to think about the question we get asked most often - What is it like to be a twin? We took pen to paper and wrote down the advantages and disadvantages. From always having someone to talk to, to having a built-in adventure buddy, we absolutely love it. Although, there are many more benefits to being a twin, we have definitely had some not-so-great experiences. Accused of cheating? Yes, that happened - more than once!
Either way, we have loved growing up together and we wouldn't trade it for the world. From each other's number one fans to having a built-in support system, it is so special to get to grow up with someone that truly knows just how you tick. It has been one of life's greatest blessings to get to stand side-by-side in whatever life brings us. Whether that's a tough year in life, or making memories that will last a life time, we wouldn't trade it for the world!

Tesla is Quietly Working on a Project to Help Texas' Power Grid
The electric automaker is quietly working on battery strong enough to power 20,000 Texas homes to combat the energy crisis.
This story originally appeared on ValueWalk
Tesla is quietly building a giant battery for Texas' power grid as the state continues to reel from energy shortages. Texas' power grid almost collapsed last month, and Tesla's move marks its first major push into the center of the nation's energy economy.
Tesla subsidiary to add to Texas' power grid
According to Bloomberg, a Tesla subsidiary registered as Gambit Energy Storage is building an energy storage project in Angleton, Tex. outside Houston. The more than 100-megawatt battery would be able to power approximately 20,000 homes on a hot summer day.
Although the site's workers kept the equipment covered and tried to keep people in the area from seeing what they were doing, a Tesla logo could be seen on a worker's hard hat. Bloomberg also said public documents confirmed the automaker's role in the project.
Property records filed with Brazoria County indicate that Gambit's address is the same as that of a Tesla facility not far from its auto factory in Fremont, Calif. A Securities and Exchange Commission filing lists Gambit as a subsidiary of Tesla. The automaker's executives are not commenting on the battery project.
Texas rocked by energy problems
Winter storms blanketed Texas in February, leaving millions of people without power for days. Tesla CEO Elon Musk mocked the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (Ercot), the nonprofit organization that managers electric power flow to over 26 million customers.
"Not earning that R," he tweeted.
The battery-storage system Gambit is building is registered with Ercot. System Planning Senior Director Warren Lasher told Bloomberg that June 1 had been proposed as the date for the project to go into commercial operation. The site where the project is being built is next to a Texas-New Mexico Power substation.
Tesla's Texas power grid project advances energy efforts
Tesla is widely known for its all-electric vehicles, but it has long been more than just an automaker. The company touts its official mission as to "accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy." In addition to being needed to store power produced by solar and wind, utility-scale batteries can also be lucrative opportunities. Battery owners can sell electricity back to the power grid when prices are high.
Tesla has been pushing into the residential energy market for years. The company revealed the Powerwall home battery in March 2015. Tesla acquired solar-panel installer SolarCity the following year.
Tesla is part of the Entrepreneur Index, which tracks 60 of the biggest publicly traded companies managed by their founders or their founders' families. Musk co-founded the company and recently moved to Texas, where the automaker and his private spaceflight company, SpaceX, are currently expanding its operations.

Q: Best way to do init without repeating code? Each view class has multiple init methods - ones already included as part of UIView, and then additional ones - and each of them set up the same elements in the same way. I therefore usually have them all running a [self initialSetup]; method, which includes the setting up of all of these elements.
The problem i've ran into is that if a subclass also has an initialSetup method, it would override the superclass initialSetup method, and thus the superclass would have to have the method be public in order to still function. This causes problems with organisation, as the method should never be called other than from init, so has no reason to be public.

A: Change the name of initialSetup to something like initialSetupClassName - subclasses, even if they accidentally used the same pattern, would not use the same name as they had a different class name.
You can also use an "_" prefix for private methods you would rather not be called, but the subclasser may do that also.

A: You've hit upon a problem that there's no perfect fix for. What you'd ideally have is a method that can't be subclassed in the normal sense, that's accessible only to instances of that exact type of class.
Where this is a risk, the normal practice seems to be to incorporate the class name into the setup method. So instead of initialSetup you'd have something like myViewSubclassInitialSetup.
You can also add something like this at the top of your method:
NSAssert([self isMemberOfClass:[ThisClass class]],
             @"IniitalSetup called by sub- or superclass")

Then your debug builds will raise an exception if a subclass or superclass ends up calling your init method. That'll give you a place for a breakpoint and a stacktrace that should allow you to find the problem very quickly.
It won't add any code to your release builds.

A: It sounds like you are missing a designated initializer. Designate one initializer as the official one that actually performs the setup, and have all the others just call that with some degree of customization. Usually the designated initializer will be the one with the most detail — for example, if you have init, initWithName:, initWithName:age: and initAsFiveYearOldNamed:, the designated initializer will be initWithName:age: and the other initializers would just call that method with the arguments filled in appropriately.

A: Unfortunatly Objective C doesn't provide a way to achieve that in a "clean" way. The ideal solution would be a protected method. But that's not possible in Objective C
Apple had this problem, when they were creating the UIGestureRecognizer. There were some methods they really didn't want to get called by somebody, but which had to be overwritten by subclasses. The way they chose to deal with this, was to create a seperate header file (UIGestureRecognizerSubclass.h), that contains a category to the original UIGestureRecognizer with those "protected" methods. The additional header is only to be imported by subclasses (i.e. for subclassing purposes). See UIGestureRecognizer Class Reference for some details.
Of course that doesn't prevent anybody from misusing the additional header file, but at least it clearly states your intention and keeps your code well structured. Also you won't be "bothered" by autocompletion for the additional methods, when just using the class.
Personally I only use an additional header, if it is extremely important that nobody calls it directly. In most cases I think it's ok to use public methods and make a note for what it's inteded. The iOS Framework also has many of these cases. F.e. many methods of UIViewController's viewDidLoad etc.
