high school teachers need to do a better job explaining how liberal arts have an intangible value for any technical career path. because i wasn't very convinced, and so studying for the arts was merely for the grade and not enough immersed for the enjoyment of any practical applications of life. whereas today, every few years or so i have another revelation as to why the intangible social studies are very well applied towards my career where success is determined by money. grades are a way to put a value on your foundation. but since grades do not measure ones success in life, these learned traits then become this hidden gem as to how well you have applied these traits.
As Hu Jintao is about to be replaced by Xi Jinping, it seems that..."The economy is overdue for reform, the old model of high investment, mass exports and cheap labor is looking tapped out. The party is trying to shift gears to be more domestic consumption-orientated, but economists say that is going to require significant investment in the social safety net to turn a nation of nervous savers into spenders." and as China has risen to be the second biggest economy in the world closing fast on the United States, it is going through the same growing pains as all the other super powers in the world: Corruption and Economic Scandal. Ethnic Victimization. Social unrest and portests against everything from environmental pollution to the rule of law and land seizures.
And so i look to find a way to capitalize on all this. how to be ahead of this social curve. what are my historical references? and where do i place my bets on the next 5-10 years?
Last year, China's trade surged 22.5 percent, however this year weak global demand, higher operating costs and growing trade protectionism were putting pressure on exports, Xinhua reported.
In the first ten months of this year, trade with China's largest trading partner, the European Union fell 3% amid a severe economic downturn and a series of severe austerity measures. A territorial dispute between China and Japan has also taken a toll on their economic relations, pushing trade between the two down by 2.1%.
The falls were offset by China's growing trade relations with the United States, ASEAN countries, Russia and Brazil. This year, China's trade with the U.S., its second largest trading partner, increased by 9.1% to $396 billion.
