I think you under value china and xi jinping by a long way- why do you present him as alone and taking a large risk : he has at least 50 national leaders who trust him more than anyone else; he leads by example not by decree; he has formed a positive investigaive jounalism style with many broadcasters including CGTN; in china information technology is valued most for big data small not the dismal global1.0 of big data big the west spun; china understands that total transformation of education is needed the world over and is leading experiments on that; the world needs places with collaboration leaders if sustainability is to be what youth achieve from the interactuons of 3 generations - grand parents, parents, youth under 30 who have 10 years left on The Economist own Entrepreneurial Revolution ERworld.tv timelines started in 1968 EconomistChina.net chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk

weforum discusses decacorns
This years rankings' top ten spots are dominated by eight decacorns, a term used for private venture-funded companies worth over US$10 billion, including Alibaba's Ant Financial, smartphone maker Xiaomi Inc., ride sharing firm Didi Chuxing, Internet finance firm Lufax, peer review and group buying platform Meituan-Dianping, news app Toutiao, drone-maker DJI and Tencent Music.

The prevalence of Chinese tech giant trio, Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent, commonly referred to as BAT, is evident throughout the list. Thirteen unicorns worth US$124.51 billion are directly affiliated with or controlled by the BAT, taking 29% of the total in terms of valuation. The trio have also invested in 38 unicorns worth a combined US$163 billion. Adding the two together, the BAT would have owned or invested in 66% of the unicorns in terms of valuation.
Tencent, Alibaba and Baidu each have 22, 13 and 10 unicorns under their belt, respectively. If included in our list of Top 10 VCs Backing China's Unicorn Boom, which we also debut today, they would stand among the most skilled venture investors in the market.
In terms of industry, financial technology, mobile Internet, on-demand and O2O (online-to-offline), e-commerce and artificial intelligence are the sectors giving birth to the most unicorns, accounting for 65% of the unicorns in terms of the number of companies.
"The key driver is the hundreds of millions of people in China and billions worldwide who have started to use smartphones to access the Internet," said JP Gan, managing partner of Qiming Venture Partners, regarding today's release of the ranking. "People are also getting used to many of the new apps enabled by ILOVs, which means image, location, voice and sensors."

      Former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has hailed China's Belt and Road Initiative as the Big Economic Idea for the 21st century ...

      • NEW

earlier this week gordon brown addressed scots in edinburgh on how china's belt road mapping is essential to the sustainability generation but still barely understood by western institutions; for years now brown has been rabble rousing national leaders to change education - however his focus on funding has missed the point of what curricula can old classrrooms never virally network in time for youth to connect sutsainability - seeing belt road as a 5th grade up curriculum of geographic economies is now the most imporatnt message GB could apply his influence to- he probably hasnt had as a vital a moment on the world stage as the day in 2008 UK and EU banks started dying and by accident muhammad yunus was on downing street's schedule; having coffee with MY immediately before ths meeting was complicated - Yunus at that time was even aware that GB was scottish!

talking of unknown scottish hubs for good, one of the last surviving members of james wilson the counder of the economist in 1843 sent us this brilliant profile of JW - in his day economists were the most practical of trade and chnage agents though queen victoria's assignment of James to India caused his premature death by diarrhea, lacking the cure of oral rehydration which it took another 110 yeras to scale so that girls built the nation of bangladesh

among other unrecorded moments in history of win-win communicatiosn are favorite is how prince charles united japan and europe in 1960 - something at the time was deeply unpopular among thise who had fought in world war 2; charles had come over early to watch the olympics; he was suprised to find a japanese engineering installing new televions in the british embassy; the engineer was akio morita founder of sony who mentioned that sony wanted to develop a foothold in europe; charles said why not try my country wales ...

Public servants in all nations could learn from china's 8-point regulation introduced at start of xi jinping presidency in 2012. With over 80 million party members CPC needs a transparent culture of how money is spent in serving the people.

   China & India: Friends or foes?

   CGTN

   • 2 months ago
   • 4,352 views

   China and India are two fast-growing economies, and both countries are members of the BRICS group of emerging economies.

i believe the next 12 months is critical in maximising Chinese and English speaking youth's impact. In the 1990s I was working at the big management consultancies in london and my book brand chartering on valuing the most purposeful organisations influenced the 3 biggest ad agencies. Martin Sorrell WPP hired me for 18 months around the turn of the millennium. The dotcom boom and bust was a mixture of 3 systemic dynamics which were not primarily youth's fault:

financial greed

extraordinary community building ideas but with no western collaboration network, no united regional vision among public servants nor their media

technology which was very immature in connectivity

It seems to me that the great good fortune for China and potentially all sustainability generation is that China's mobile startup boom came a decade later with much more tech connectivity and the Chinese billion-persons demand for social innovation and people-centric development. While i have been tracking the values of Jack Ma since 2008 when he challenged my family friend Muhammad Yunus to who would create next 100 million jobs, i am fascinated to find that each of the founders of the BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) are driven by different values than the owners of america's biggest internet properties

My family and friends aim to publish a booklet on 50 world record job creators coming from China and the East - as part of a debate that China is offering all nations one last chance to get back to sustaining communities, and directionally positive expoential orbits on all 17 goals by 2030. I don't seen any reason to be modest about how totally different China's two centenary goals are than the way eg wall street values the biggest organisation it invests in. As UN head Antonio Guterres said at the Belt Road Forum in May - this is the global2.0 we actively want to unite peoples round. To understand the race for big data small (to beat off big data big) i recommend to everyone that they attend one of jack ma's www.gateway17.com - a one day training session which changes 3000 peoples belief in what is possible at the same time

Why not billion peoples rejuvenation dream be collab network of all deve...

Starting with pilot at Columbia University, and a few contacts i have made after 7 visits to Beijing, . I am aiming to help students develop student union clubs on 7 applied-social wonders of the way forward if you value china's vision. For example while big data small tech is one of jack ma's wonders, his sponsorship of the olympics is an opportunity to celebrate all the graetest community action networks such as Thorkil's network for creating 1 million jobs for people with autism. Equally my fathers' alumni at The Economist  see Belt Road as a 21st C worlwide geo-economic curriculum that needs to be explored from 5th grader up.

If there are ways we could help each other, and connect Chinese and English speaking youth in unstoppably mediating china's visions, I would love to discuss further with any of you, anywhere anytime

many thanks chris macrae
