Andrew's January 2019 Newsletter

(My quarterly Newsletter goes out to some 7,000 professional contacts worldwide. The following is my January 2019 issue. Back numbers may be accessed under What's New on this website) 

May I first wish you a Merry Holiday Season and a marvellous New Year!

As we enter into 2019, the world order's tectonic plates are mightily shifting. Beginning with a trade war, the United States is now pushing back against China on multiple fronts. This is unprecedented since the end of the Mao era. The battle ground extends from next-generation mobile technology (5G), Uighurs human rights, access to Tibet, to a space arms race. The trade war seriously disrupts global production and value chains, hurting global growth, while the intense rivalry worries allies, forcing them to hedge their bets. 
 
Meanwhile, Yellow Vests and other similar citizen protests burn like sporadic wild fires, part of an inward-looking, anti-globalization, anti--elite, populist groundswell. We are at the historical juncture where the world's richest 10 multi-billionaires have a combined wealth more than the poorest half of the whole world put together. There is a prevailing sense of haplessness and gross injustice. Piketty's warning in Capitalism in the 21st Century seems to be vindicated. 
 
On a broader front, embroiled in national crises of one form or another, many countries seem less focussed on how the earth is heating up faster than expected, due to renewed jumps in carbon emissions. The twist in the tale is that while the United States has ditched the hard-won Paris Agreement on Climate Change, China, the world's worst polluter for decades, seems to be leading the world in upholding the Agreement by exceeding  declared targets. 
 
Hopefully, the following may offer you enjoyable holiday-season browsing with some fresh insight or perspective.

I have accepted appointments as a Professor of Practice with the Hong Kong Institute of Education for Sustainable Development and as a Certified Sustainable Development Planner (CSDP) of the World Institute of Sustainable Development Planners. Both are affiliated to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). I have done so in the hope of raising awareness of sustainable development in Mainland China, especially in less-developed areas, and in countries along China's Belt and Road Initiative. The former as a catalyst for building smart cities and communities and the latter to underpin infrastructural building, economic diversification, and ecological conservation where debt and ecological sustainability is becoming an issue.

Andrew's September 2018 Newsletter

(My quarterly Newsletter goes out to some 7,000 professional contacts worldwide. The following is my September 2018 issue. Back numbers may be accessed under What's New on this website) 

Greetings! After an extended visit to Europe, I am back in Hong Kong for a long, hot summer. Temperatures are rising everywhere. An all-out great-power tussle masked as a trade war is being played out between the US and China. America First continues to be pressed home across the globe, weaponizing hegemonic powers in finance, trade and currency. Not even allies are spared. Decades of established global rules and norms are being up-ended. The only constants appear the laws of nature and the law of the jungle. As the big elephants fight, the "wary rest" are all hedging their bets. The world order as we know it is fracturing. Would all the king's horses and all the king's men come to the rescue if the king wants to start anew?  How will China respond to the new paradigm? 

Nevertheless, US frustrations with China's trade practices are widely shared. It is in China's interests to address them. However, any fundamental redress necessitates structural reforms to the Chinese economy already bracing from headwinds. China's retaliation against America's tariffs has so far been measured and targeted, with an eye to negotiations. But what reforms can China implement quickly? How would the trade war play out? 

Amidst this great anxiety, the following may offer some fresh perspectives.

Andrew's 2016 Christmas and Year-end Newsletter

May I first wish you and your family Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year! 
 
We all need blessings as 2017 promises to be a decisive year with highly uncertain outcomes, for better or for worse.  Would a Trump presidency usher in a new era of aggressive American dominance? Will it upend the existing Western liberal world order? Will there be a global trade war and arms race? Will the greenback continue its upward trend? Will oil and gas be back with a vengeance at the expense of global responses to Climate Change? What would become of Europe with Brexit and rise of right-wing political parties? How would China adapt to this new global reality? How would the nation transit to a new team at the 19th Party Congress by end- 2017? Would a soon-to-be-elected new Chief Executive be able to turn a new page for Hong Kong?
