As most social indicators are highly corelated with PCGDP, our rank on any social indicator in 2019 must be compared to the 127 rank in PCGDP, to see whether we are doing worse or better [Will update, as soon as WDI (source) data for 2021 is available]

This song proves that CCP leader Xi Jinping has already determined to become “the Father of the World”. The part of this song says: “China’s father Xi Jinping, the world’s father Xi Jinping.” If you decide to stay silent about the Uyghurs’ loss today,it can be your turn tomorrow.

JUST POSTED: The Chinese Communist Party elite have a huge financial stake in Hong Kong. Relatives of 3 of the top 4 CCP leaders have luxury real estate there worth at least $51m (actually worth far more), a NYT investigation shows. By and me.

2/fta The only hopeful sign is the wake-up call the #EU has received from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a shocking horror they never imagined in their worst nightmares. To the extent it creates a better understanding of the China threat, it will facilitate a CEPA with India.

Extraordinarily aggressive statement by the US Secretary of Defense: "America's goals for success" in Ukraine is to "see Russia weakened".
To Russia this confirms 2 things: a) this is a proxy war against the US (duh!) and b) it's existential that they do not lose this.

As we showed in a series of research papers in 2020, a lockdown is both a supply & demand shock, which fragments markets, creating different supply-demand imbalances in diff industries & geographies, which manifest as inflation+deflation, after lockdown is lifted
Quote Tweet
If the world wanted an "anti-inflationary" shock after Ukraine's inflationary one, #China's #Omicron should -in principle - be a great one since it equates to collapsing demand. The slight problem, however, is that nearly 1/3 of intermediate goods are exported from China.

2/const The 42nd amendment also added the words, “#secular, #socialist” to the #preamble of the constitution. We have a choice: accept the 42nd amendment as legit or junk the whole thing as an emergency era imposition! Which do you prefer?

Incidentally, Fundamental Duties were
inspired by the constitution of the USSR (now Russia) and added by the Constitution (42nd Amendment) Act, 1976.
During the initial drafting, fundamental duties were not part of the Constitution of India.

Space-based ground moving target indicator (GMTI) is an important component for successful counterforce against an adversary with land-based mobile missiles. US has some declared capability in this area though full extent remains unclear.
Quote Tweet
It seems space-based GMTI exists. But can it offer persistent coverage? Maybe. But I don't know how.
"Per the FY19 and FY21 NDAA the SecDef certified that a spaced based Ground Movement Tracking Indicator (GMTI) capability exists to meet the Combatant Commanders Requirements."

- With 30-km range, this is a stand-off, precision guided munition which can be used against an array of high-value targets
