Digital nomads ≠ Tax dodgers
Digital nomads, by definition, are people who use telecommunications technologies to earn a living and, more generally, conduct their life in a nomadic manner. They often work remotely from foreign countries or any other place than a traditional office. Whether rightly or wrongly, digital nomads have appeared to gain a reputation as tax dodgers. Many people assume that digital nomads do not need to file tax returns or pay taxes. However, if you are one of the digital nomads, you should pay attention to the following example.

Their influence is most prominent in Latin America, one of the countries with the most Chinese influence is Ecuador. Here it enjoys a near - monopoly of crude exports.

Joshua DonnellyPublished 3 years ago in The SwampThe Fate of China’s Belt and Road Initiative
In 2013, Xi Jinping, the President of China, revealed plans of vast trade and infrastructure project which would traverse three continents, during state visits to Kazakhstan and Indonesia, much to the chagrin of Japan and the United States. The project was initially christened One Belt, One Road, but was later renamed to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). It was based on the Silk Road, a historical trade route that was named after the main commodity traded during those times — Chinese Silk. The project had two divisions — a land route and a maritime route. But as of 2020, the pieces of this dream are falling fast, as more participating countries show scepticism.

Mythili IyerPublished 3 years ago in The SwampWhat Really Happened with the Off and On-Again US-China Trade Talks?
Both the US and China are struggling to recover from the woes of a health care and economic crisis. This is not a good time for either country to escalate trade tensions. The last thing either country needs at the moment is to cause financial market, business or consumer sentiment turn negative at the moment. That would surely slow the recovery process for both countries.

Not surprisingly, the retraction and clarifications came swiftly from both U.S. President Trump and Mr. Navarro indicating that the statement was not true and that the Phase 1 trade deal remained solidly on track.
Anthony ChanPublished 4 years ago in The SwampIs it time to abolish the Eurozone?
For quite an incomprehensible reason, there exists a deeply-rooted, almost untouchable idea that the Eurozone is an indispensable monetary union without which Europe would be unimaginably less prosperous, more unstable and divided. Any time when someone attempts to suggest that the Euro is not beneficial to certain European nations and that in fact it brings about a variety of disadvantages and limitations, the response is one of disbelief and perception of the anti-Euro position as outrageously reactionary and even somehow revolting. Fully prepared to undergo such a reaction again, I will outline the arguments against the Eurozone in its current state, for the mere reason that I believe that it is doing too much damage to be ignored and dismissed as a ‘populist’ excuse for ‘greater and more complicated problems’.
