January China's forex reserves fell to 3.22 trillion dollars

China Reports - The BL
12.5K subscribers

China's foreign exchange reserves unexpectedly dropped in January, likely due to valuation effects as the dollar gained.

According to Reuters, the country's forex reserves fell to 3.22 trillion dollars last month, down from 3.25 trillion dollars in December, and was 0.06 trillion dollars less than previously expected by a Reuters poll of analysts.

Meanwhile, the dollar posted a rise of 1.03% against other key currencies, with the yuan losing 0.9% against the dollar.

China at least retained its 62.64 million fine troy ounces of gold at the end of January from the end of December.

At the end of January, China's gold reserves had dropped from 113.13 billion dollars to 112.46 billion dollars.

Uyghur torchbearer disappears right after match
China Reports - The BL

Dinigeer Yilamujiang, a cross country skier, born in Xinjiang, and Zhao Jiawen, a 21-year-old biathlete, placed the lit torch onto a big snowflake at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics opening ceremony on Friday, February 4th. Yilamujiang then ranked 43rd in her Olympic debut in the cross-country skiathlon on Saturday, February 5th, and has since disappeared from the spotlight.

As The Wall Street Journal reported on February 6th, Ms. Yilamujiang is an Uyghur, a Turkic minority group native to China's northwestern region of Xinjiang, which has become the subject of allegations of Chinese human rights violations in the United States and the West.

China's financial market sends out 3 red flags to foreign investors: Expert
China Reports - The BL
12.5K subscribers

According to Chinese-language media Da Ji Yuan, the Chinese regime has liberalized finance to attract foreign investment in recent years. According to official data from the Chinese government, the cumulative net increase in foreign holdings of domestic bonds and stocks surpassed U.S. $700 billion from 2018 to 2021, representing a 34 percent annual growth rate. However, compared to economies like Japan, South Korea, and Brazil, the proportion of foreign money in China's stock and bond markets is only 3 % to 5%.

As a result, the Chinese government wants to keep increasing the share of foreign capital in China's financial market. Sudden changes in the policies and the downturn of China's economy have caused major setbacks for foreign investors in China's financial market since 2021 and have had a significant impact on international investors' judgments on China's financial, economic, and political trends.

A finance expert from Chinese-language media Da Ji Yuan has pointed out three red flags that China's financial market sends out to foreign investors.

借高利貸擴張,輸得連褲衩都不剩,惠州房企巨頭破產,200多項資產被賤賣,老闆躲在香港不敢出來。

读懂研报

借高利貸擴張,輸得連褲衩都不剩,惠州房企巨頭破產,200多項資產被賤賣,老闆躲在香港不敢出來。破產的原因是找高利貸借款,徹底玩崩了槓桿。我們都知道房地產的膽子大,加槓桿是常有的事情。當初曹德旺說恆大膽子大,39個億就敢玩2萬億的負債。而這個郭耀名沒有本事從銀行弄錢,就轉身去找了高利貸。
其實郭耀名還真不能怪銀行,銀行提供了80%的資金,20%是信託給的錢,但是2011年房地產政策調控之後,郭耀名一下子就被打蒙了,誰讓他太過依賴銀行呢?無奈之下, 他想到了上市圈錢,可惜的是,兩次買殼失敗,花了12億元,打了水漂,真是雪上加霜。
無奈之下就去找民間借貸了,也就是高利貸。從2011年開始計算,高利貸佔了融資的三分之一。不僅借得多,而且借的時間長。一般民間借貸是兩三個月,但是光耀借的時間,長到利息跟本金差不多了,十五億元的本金,利息就十幾個億,這怎麼還的起?

The UGLY FACE of racism in CHINA - VisualPolitik EN
The assassination of George Floyd has brought one of the biggest social scourges into the political forum: racism. But the United States is not the only country with a racism problem. China is currently an example of apartheid and even extermination of racial minorities.

China is an extremely diverse country: ethnically, linguistically, and culturally. Only 70% of the population has Mandarin Chinese as their mother tongue. And the remaining 30% don't have an easy life. We're not just talking about social or labor discrimination, but about laws that systematically violate human rights: eugenics, forced sterilizations, and re-education camps. But why exactly is China so hostile to its racial minorities? How is it possible that its Constitution recognizes racial equality yet its government is so racist? In this video, we'll tell you.

Hong Kong: More foreign businesses plan to leave/the economy in trouble as follows Beijing's orders

China Insights

2022 Chinese new year falls between late January and early February. It's the most important holiday for Chinese people, and the celebration usually lasts for 15 days. It’s normally the peak season for the flower business, as the Chinese word for "flower" is pronounced like "fortune", which means to make a fortune or to have great development.
But this year, some Hong Kong flower farmers are burning flowers, why is that?
A survey conducted by the American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong in January on Hong Kong's business outlook to 2022 reported that while Hong Kong still has business opportunities, international travel restrictions imposed by Hong Kong have severely impacted business and personal morale.

Religion usually entails adhering to a certain dogma or belief system.
Spirituality place little important on intellectual beliefs but is concerned with growing into and experiencing the divine consciousness, the inner self. Spiritual seek to conquer self whereas religion seek to conquer others into believing and adhering to a certain belief system. Spiritual is inner whereas religion can be inner but mostly external. Spiritual emphasis more on self-actualization in this earthy world whereas religion emphasis on the afterlife.
You can be an atheist but still remain spiritual.
You can be religious but lack spirituality.

Some thinkers have suggested that a complete analysis of the concept of life’s meaning should include what has been called “anti-matter” (Metz 2002, 805–07, 2013, 63–65, 71–73) or “anti-meaning” (Campbell and Nyholm 2015; Egerstrom 2015), conditions that reduce the meaningfulness of a life. The thought is that meaning is well represented by a bipolar scale, where there is a dimension of not merely positive conditions, but also negative ones. Gratuitous cruelty or destructiveness are prima facie candidates for actions that not merely fail to add meaning, but also subtract from any meaning one’s life might have had.

Despite the ongoing debates about how to analyze the concept of life’s meaning (or articulate the definition of the phrase “meaning in life”), the field remains in a good position to make progress on the other key questions posed above, viz., of what would make a life meaningful and whether any lives are in fact meaningful. A certain amount of common ground is provided by the point that meaningfulness at least involves a gradient final value in a person’s life that is conceptually distinct from happiness and rightness, with exemplars of it potentially being the good, the true, and the beautiful. The rest of this discussion addresses philosophical attempts to capture the nature of this value theoretically and to ascertain whether it exists in at least some of our lives.

News & Blogs

2022-02-09 13:04 | Report Abuse

Yet another relatively uncontroversial element of the concept of meaningfulness in respect of individual persons is that it is conceptually distinct from happiness or rightness (emphasized in Wolf 2010, 2016). First, to ask whether someone’s life is meaningful is not one and the same as asking whether her life is pleasant or she is subjectively well off. A life in an experience machine or virtual reality device would surely be a happy one, but very few take it to be a prima facie candidate for meaningfulness (Nozick 1974: 42–45). Indeed, a number would say that one’s life logically could become meaningful precisely by sacrificing one’s well-being, e.g., by helping others at the expense of one’s self-interest. Second, asking whether a person’s existence over time is meaningful is not identical to considering whether she has been morally upright; there are intuitively ways to enhance meaning that have nothing to do with right action or moral virtue, such as making a scientific discovery or becoming an excellent dancer. Now, one might argue that a life would be meaningless if, or even because, it were unhappy or immoral, but that would be to posit a synthetic, substantive relationship between the concepts, far from indicating that speaking of “meaningfulness” is analytically a matter of connoting ideas regarding happiness or rightness. The question of what (if anything) makes a person’s life meaningful is conceptually distinct from the questions of what makes a life happy or moral, although it could turn out that the best answer to the former question appeals to an answer to one of the latter questions.

Supposing, then, that talk of “meaning in life” connotes something good for its own sake that can come in degrees and that is not analytically equivalent to happiness or rightness, what else does it involve? What more can we say about this final value, by definition? Most contemporary analytic philosophers would say that the relevant value is absent from spending time in an experience machine (but see Goetz 2012 for a different view) or living akin to Sisyphus, the mythic figure doomed by the Greek gods to roll a stone up a hill for eternity (famously discussed by Albert Camus and Taylor 1970). In addition, many would say that the relevant value is typified by the classic triad of “the good, the true, and the beautiful” (or would be under certain conditions). These terms are not to be taken literally, but instead are rough catchwords for beneficent relationships (love, collegiality, morality), intellectual reflection (wisdom, education, discoveries), and creativity (particularly the arts, but also potentially things like humor or gardening).

Pressing further, is there something that the values of the good, the true, the beautiful, and any other logically possible sources of meaning involve? There is as yet no consensus in the field. One salient view is that the concept of meaning in life is a cluster or amalgam of overlapping ideas, such as fulfilling higher-order purposes, meriting substantial esteem or admiration, having a noteworthy impact, transcending one’s animal nature, making sense, or exhibiting a compelling life-story (Markus 2003; Thomson 2003; Metz 2013, 24–35; Seachris 2013, 3–4; Mawson 2016). However, there are philosophers who maintain that something much more monistic is true of the concept, so that (nearly) all thought about meaningfulness in a person’s life is essentially about a single property. Suggestions include being devoted to or in awe of qualitatively superior goods (Taylor 1989, 3–24), transcending one’s limits (Levy 2005), or making a contribution (Martela 2016).

Recently there has been something of an “interpretive turn” in the field, one instance of which is the strong view that meaning-talk is logically about whether and how a life is intelligible within a wider frame of reference (Goldman 2018, 116–29; Seachris 2019; Thomas 2019; cf. Repp 2018). According to this approach, inquiring into life’s meaning is nothing other than seeking out sense-making information, perhaps a narrative about life or an explanation of its source and destiny. This analysis has the advantage of promising to unify a wide array of uses of the term “meaning.” However, it has the disadvantages of being unable to capture the intuitions that meaning in life is essentially good for its own sake (Landau 2017, 12–15), that it is not logically contradictory to maintain that an ineffable condition is what confers meaning on life (as per Cooper 2003, 126–42; Bennett-Hunter 2014; Waghorn 2014), and that often human actions themselves (as distinct from an interpretation of them), such as rescuing a child from a burning building, are what bear meaning.

Sslee, you love to write & read philosophy. No all philosphy good to be ponder on... some might even lead you to astray...

1. The Meaning of “Meaning”
One part of philosophy of life’s meaning consists of the systematic attempt to identify what people have in mind when they think about the topic or what they mean by talk of “life’s meaning.” For many in the field, terms such as “importance” and “significance” are synonyms of “meaningfulness” and so are insufficiently revealing, but there are those who draw a distinction between meaningfulness and significance (Singer 1996, 112–18; Belliotti 2019, 145–50, 186). There is also debate about how the concept of a meaningless life relates to the ideas of a life that is absurd (Nagel 1970, 1986, 214–23; Feinberg 1980; Belliotti 2019), futile (Trisel 2002), and not worth living (Landau 2017, 12–15; Matheson 2017).

A useful way to begin to get clear about what thinking about life’s meaning involves is to specify the bearer. Which life does the inquirer have in mind? A standard distinction to draw is between the meaning “in” life, where a human person is what can exhibit meaning, and the meaning “of” life in a narrow sense, where the human species as a whole is what can be meaningful or not. There has also been a bit of recent consideration of whether animals or human infants can have meaning in their lives, with most rejecting that possibility (e.g., Wong 2008, 131, 147; Fischer 2019, 1–24), but a handful of others beginning to make a case for it (Purves and Delon 2018; Thomas 2018). Also under-explored is the issue of whether groups, such as a people or an organization, can be bearers of meaning, and, if so, under what conditions.

Most analytic philosophers have been interested in meaning in life, that is, in the meaningfulness that a person’s life could exhibit, with comparatively few these days addressing the meaning of life in the narrow sense. Even those who believe that God is or would be central to life’s meaning have lately addressed how an individual’s life might be meaningful in virtue of God more often than how the human race might be. Although some have argued that the meaningfulness of human life as such merits inquiry to no less a degree (if not more) than the meaning in a life (Seachris 2013; Tartaglia 2015; cf. Trisel 2016), a large majority of the field has instead been interested in whether their lives as individual persons (and the lives of those they care about) are meaningful and how they could become more so.

Focusing on meaning in life, it is quite common to maintain that it is conceptually something good for its own sake or, relatedly, something that provides a basic reason for action (on which see Visak 2017). There are a few who have recently suggested otherwise, maintaining that there can be neutral or even undesirable kinds of meaning in a person’s life (e.g., Mawson 2016, 90, 193; Thomas 2018, 291, 294). However, these are outliers, with most analytic philosophers, and presumably laypeople, instead wanting to know when an individual’s life exhibits a certain kind of final value (or non-instrumental reason for action).

Another claim about which there is substantial consensus is that meaningfulness is not all or nothing and instead comes in degrees, such that some periods of life are more meaningful than others and that some lives as a whole are more meaningful than others. Note that one can coherently hold the view that some people’s lives are less meaningful (or even in a certain sense less “important”) than others, or are even meaningless (unimportant), and still maintain that people have an equal standing from a moral point of view. Consider a consequentialist moral principle according to which each individual counts for one in virtue of having a capacity for a meaningful life, or a Kantian approach according to which all people have a dignity in virtue of their capacity for autonomous decision-making, where meaning is a function of the exercise of this capacity. For both moral outlooks, we could be required to help people with relatively meaningless lives.

I choose to believe in is the inherent good of people. Obviously there are evil people in this world and people that are conniving scumbags, but in general I believe most people are legitimately good inside and do not intentionally cause harm or duress to others. This is a prerogative that I choose to believe in and those who do evil is because of their misplaced hatred and anger.

No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

Question China’s Olympic weapon Eileen Gu refuses to answer
An American deserter and Olympics superstar has given China a dream political win, but it couldn’t cover up an act of propaganda.

Californian-born Eileen Gu won gold for China at the Beijing Winter Olympics — and then repeatedly refused to answer the burning question surrounding her defection from the United States to the host country.

Gu, already arguably the biggest star at the entire 2022 Games, secured a thunderous political win for China when she claimed gold in the inaugural women’s freeski Big Air with a stunning jump she had never tried before.

She shed tears of joy after only picking up the gold medal with her final run.

“The tears were mostly of joy, that I had pushed myself to the absolute limit,” Gu said.

“That was the best moment of my life. The happiest moment, day of my life. I just cannot believe what just happened.”

The 18-year-old has been the headline story of the Games after she left Team USA officials baffled by her decision to represent China while the country remains accused of abusing human rights and engaging in unfair trade policies.

Her face has been everywhere, flooding TV ads, promotions and billboards.

It’s why she is a powerful weapon for China at the Games — and it was on full display during her event when former tennis doubles world number one Peng Shuai also popped up cheering her on from a VIP section of the crowd.

Peng alleged in a social media post in November that former Chinese vice-premier Zhang Gaoli forced her into sex and she was not heard from for nearly three weeks, prompting concern around the world about her safety.

Now the stunt is being called out as an act of propaganda from the Chinese government, attempting to smooth over a saga that has heaped international pressure on the country.

It didn’t take long for the dark side of Gu’s Olympics fairytale to emerge after the victory as she repeatedly refused to directly address questions surrounding her American citizenship.

China does not allow its citizens to carry dual citizenship.

USA Today’s Dan Wolken posted on Twitter she showed impressive athleticism in dodging the questions.

“I definitely feel as though I’m just as American as I am Chinese,” she said.

“I’m American when I’m in the US and Chinese when I’m in China. Both continue to be supportive of me because they understand my mission is to use sport as a force for unity.

When asked how she is juggling trying to keep her fans in both countries, her answer surprised reporters at the post-even press conference.

“I think that here’s the thing I’m not trying to keep everyone happy,” she said.

“I’m an 18 year old girl out here living my best life. I’m out here having a great time.

“It doesn’t matter if other people are happy or not. I’m doing my best. I’m enjoying the entire process and using my voice to create as much positive change as I can in an area that is personal and relevant to myself.”

She went on to say she is not going to try to “placate people who are uneducated”.

Gu is competing in two more events in Beijing — the freestyle halfpipe and slopestyle — so could become the first freestyle skier to win Winter Games medals in three different disciplines.

“I don’t want to think about the next two events, I am a very fast-pace person, so I just want to soak it all in,” she said.

Gu, whose father is American, will see her already huge popularity in China increase further after winning Olympic gold.

She is a model and ambassador for several luxury brands, but she says the work she put in to win the gold medal happened far away from any spotlight.

“There were no cameras in the gym when I worked out after eight hours of modelling or at 4:00 pm when I hiked up to get the last ski lift so I could try one more jump,” she said.

The level-headed teen is grateful for all the support she has received from her Chinese and American fans.

With striking eyes that led her to modelling deals with Victoria’s Secret and Vogue and more than 400,000 Instagram followers — and now the first of what she hopes will be three golds — Gu will have a large platform to influence. She will enter the slopestyle and halfpipe events as the favourite to win.

After her final run, with tears in her eyes and the shouting done, she could be heard telling herself, “Definitely not crying, definitely not crying.”
