My Guest Lecture at the University of Hong Kong on 22 November 2016.
The PowerPoint presentation, with 72 slides, examines some of the most salient game-changing dynamics of the 21st century, including the Fourth Industrial Revolution, "Connectography", Internet of Things in Smart Cities, Fintech, Blockchain, e-Commerce, e-banking, the global connectivity of the China Dream with One Belt, One Road (OBOR), regional networks, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, the Rise of State Capitalism, the Demographic Cliff, Capital in the 21st Century, Asset Bubbles, Debt Mountains, Globalization and its Discontents, and the Rise of Nationalism, Chauvinism, Nativism and Localism, all leading to an interconnected, independent yet uncertain world of distributed powers where America's retraction under a Trump Presidency is likely to give way to increasing influence of a dynamic China embracing globalization with a vengeance.
