Ten Predictions for 2021
- GDP expands 10%. Western experts predict GDP will expand by 8% and, since they are always 25% low, expect 10%–a $2.4 trillion addition to the economy and the fastest growth ever. Bonus Predictions: Wages rise 12%, the EU signs the Investment Agreement, the EEU merges with the RCEP.
- Most Fortune 500 companies are Chinese. More than 140 Chinese companies and fewer than 120 US companies will make the Fortune list. 80% of the Chinese companies will be State Owned Enterprises.
- Five new billionaires created weekly, following four a week in 2020. .
- Extreme poverty, homelessness vanish. There will be more drug addicts, suicides and executions, more homeless, poor, hungry and imprisoned people in America than in China by this time next year. 99% of the bottom half of Chinese society will own a home and have an income, plenty of food and clothes, safe streets, health insurance, a pension, and old age care.
- Gini gap narrows. Inequality has been Xi’s pet project since 2012 and will become a priority through 2035. The gap is already narrower than Europe’s: Luxembourgeois are 50 times richer than Moldavans, while Beijingers are 5-6 times richer than folks in Gansu, and Gansu is richer than Armenia, Ukraine and Moldova.
- Urban life revolutionized. China has constructed the equivalent of San Francisco’s entire housing stock every month since 1950 and Xiong'An New Area, south of Beijing, embodies everything they have learned. Most of it will be woods and wetlands, the loudest sound will birds twittering, and it will be fully automated, with infrastructure underground. Increased productivity will repay its capital cost in 30 years.
- The first exascale computer. Top supercomputers nowsolve problems at the petascale—a quadrillion calculations/second. Exascale computers, at a quintillion calculations/second, will more realistically simulate the processes involved in precision medicine, regional climate, additive manufacturing, the physics in materials discovery and design, the fundamental forces of the universe, and more.
- Another quantum surprise to match its recent boson sampling achievement. China outspends the US 4:1 in R&D and its Taoist worldview accommodates quantum physics’ ‘both-and’ paradigm better than the Western ‘either-or’ tradition.
- Chinese outlive Americans. US deaths will rise 15% 3.2 million and life expectancy will fall by three years. China’s life expectancy was on track to match America’s by 2028, but thanks to Healthy China 2030, it may maintain its 2021 lead permanently.
- Chinese vaccines protect the world. Sixty percent of the world's people will be protected by Chinese vaccines (and The WHO will reveal India as the source of the Covid-19 virus.
With the destruction by Covid19, IMF has projected China to over take America as the number one economy in nominal currency 5 years earlier, ie 2028. If the pandemic continues for another year, it would be even earlier.
ReplyDeleteThe order books of Chinese manufacturers are all full, stretching to the end of 2021. Chinese manufacturers are all back in business while the factories of many countries are closed or partially closed because of Covid. How not to over shoot the US faster?
Trump will jump in and out of his pants to read this.
ReplyDeleteAmerica is supposed to be great again with his four years in office. Ironically USA is indeed great in COVID19 infections and death, great in more divisive policies and political and racial divide.
China must not let it's guard down now that the USA is a fast sinking ship. A desperate rat is bound to resort to desperate measures.
Singapore Chinese have better rise up to be counted, so that Singapore will not go down the slippery road of a snakes infested country like India.
ReplyDeleteIf Indian talents are that good, why they couldn't make India become 1st Would country until now?
If Indians are loyal, why they run away from their own country instead of helping the motherland to progress?
Can these quitters and traitors be trusted?
They are only good in jumping into a moving train and con the owner that they could drive the train better than the original driver. And stupid owners would let them drive the train.
ReplyDeleteAsk them to do it from scratch nothing would move, they can't do it.
Jump into many successful companies and claimed they built the companies. They have taken over many successful American, European and Singapore companies now. If these successful companies were not there, where would they be, in India?
I always remember what my grandmother told me:
ReplyDelete"When confronting a poisonous snake and an Indian, kill the Indian first."
And my grandfather always used to say, "Indians are tongue twiters. They not only can pronounce very difficult tongue-twisting words, they can also twist and turn with words. And they are very smooth talkers. They convince uou easily that black is white, and stone is gold. So always be very carefully when you are dealing with Indians!"
Indian talk and Indian accounting comes to mind. Must be something fishy about that, right?

ReplyDeleteIndia, the most unhygienic and health-hazardous country in the world, has begun culling tens of thousands of poultry birds after numerous wild geese, crows and ducks across the whole country have been tested positive for avian flu.
Officials first detected the H5N8 strain more than a week ago after flocks of birds were found dead in various states.
The Indian government has issued a "High Alert" warning and directed all the states to take "Urgent Measures" to curb the spread of the disease, amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic.
While most strains are low risk to humans, people are advised not to touch dead or visibly sick birds.
Some states have been quick to act on reports of bird flu, announcing culling of poultry and other measures. However, many of the outlying villages and towns do not seem to be taking precautions.
Could COVID-19 coronavirus originated from India? Could the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus started from India, instead of USA or China? I think it is highly probable.
For those who are still able to think, What do you think?

ReplyDeleteAre you joking? China does not need people from outside to help develop the country? China is itself helping most of the world to develop. You must be sleeping under a rock for the last thirty years.
If you are and Indian, go to India instead and help Modi to clean up India first. Developing India is not possible because the people there are used to living in slums and they like it that way. Have you heard of the saying - Wash a pig as much as you like, it will go back to the mud!
No, Covid19 did not come from India. It came from clean labs in Fort Dettrick, USA.
ReplyDeleteIt has started. Donald Trump has deliberately instigated (not once but several times already) his armed Mafia-like, violent hooligans gangs and staunch supporters, to riots and violence.
ReplyDeleteThey stormed the Capitol Building where the Congressmen were counting the electoral votes, thereby illegally stopping the counting to progress.
This is an outright coup that Donald Trump is responsible for, and he should be held responsible.
To uphold Democracy and Human Rights, Donald Trump has to be arrested as the leader of the failed coup attempt and charged for treason.
This proves beyond a doubt that the USA is not a Democratic country. It also has tons of human rights issues, especially against the blacks and Latinos, and lately for the last 4 years under Tump the Trumpet also against Asians, particularly against the People of Chinese descent.
ReplyDeleteTrump must be arrested immediately.
ReplyDeleteHahaha
ReplyDeleteJoe Biden is not yet President. Trump is still the President. Who is going to give the order to arrest Trump? And we know the police are insidiously on the side of Trump after the BLM issue. As for the army, indications are still in the open.
So, who is going to arrest Trump? Pence? Nancy?
