The Chinese Debt Trap Doesn't Exist Because China Has A Far Better Plan
In the last 2 decades, China has constructed infrastructure in almost every country in Africa. After being cited in documents from the Trump administration, the term “debt-trap” diplomacy”was born.
Cédric BoogaertsPublished 2 years ago in The SwampWill China become the next technological powerhouse?
It is very difficult. The Chinese are so smart that the projects with low investment and quick results are almost done and the rest are hard to crack. Private companies can't afford to burn through the money. Look how well we're doing on the Internet, because it's mostly servers and people. Equipment manufacturing, chemical technology, pharmaceutical, a little innovation, need a lot of capital and resources to support. Private companies are struggling, but the boss can also take out money to engage in research and development, it is really a very ambitious entrepreneur. Moreover, private companies are less able to attract talent. Highly educated people, mostly gathered in the city of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. Private companies are often in the suburbs to control costs. Manufacturing enterprises are basically in the suburbs, state-owned enterprises may be near the county town, private enterprises may be in the village. Biochemical ring material, the whole network group scene. Traditional engineering, everyone discouraged. To enter the factory is to drill into the suburbs and valleys. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Stay in big cities, urban areas, when the code farming, finance, examination, examination editing, which is not sweet? National AREA A engineering line 270, Tsinghua only 320, literature, history and philosophy volume heaven, I dare not imagine before. People have already voted with their feet. They would rather study literature, history and philosophy than study engineering. How can we do r&d if we don't have access to factories? State-owned enterprises have some so-called hidden welfare, hukou, or can attract a group of people into the factory. And then what? After working for a while, it becomes clear that r&d personnel in state-owned enterprises are no problem at the bottom. At this time, who would not transfer to administration or management if he had some connections? When you don't have something, people think you don't have the ability. When you do, there will be a bunch of people jumping out to appear to have the ability. The patent is a service invention, the final interpretation of the right, all in the unit. Looking at China, how many researchers can make big money? A picture of food and clothing, are fast rolling circles. And there is a huge gap between research and development, two worlds. The leek of the university is too curly, so everyone does short flat quick, do flower work. Usually, the more practical something is, the harder it is to post. In the past, I was a pure researcher, but now WHEN I look at the literature from the perspective of industry, I often wonder what the hell it is and what is the use of it. I still appoints university institute volume king's strength very much, but, these people are in the volume system, the volume cap, nature can't set his mind at practical RESEARCH and development. Head university, a lot of go abroad, turn computer finance, take an examination of public, take an examination of plait, look for pit, chase after a hat. Private enterprises are remote and unstable, and state-owned enterprises are depressed. Tiankeng brothers are mocked by the crowd, traditional engineering earn less money. After all, how many people are still able and willing to work in the field of scientific research? To tell you the truth, I'm so confident in r&d now that people who are better than me and smarter than me basically don't do it anymore. Now the international situation is tense, I actually have that kind of national science and technology development depends on my sense of mission. Many of the post-1990 generation have been promoted to be leaders, and those who are in school or just graduated have a better grasp of the direction of industrial development than those who are experienced in scientific research. Young people are full of leek, thinking about how to keep their jobs, but not as stable as us, no development, the bottom of the middle-aged scientific research workers on product research and development, scientific and technological progress more pure enthusiasm. Recently, we bottom of the old man, formed a flexible Buddha research and development team, with a pure heart, in China's scientific and technological progress, making insignificant contributions, do not care about the future peach will be picked by who, only care about today to do something meaningful.

Norbert MonteilPublished 2 years ago in The SwampDigital 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.

n today's globalization world, it is fairly common for U.S taxpayers to have one or more financial accounts located outside of the U.S. By definition, financial accounts are included checking & saving bank accounts, pension accounts, and investment accounts. But you might be surprised that you have to report your money in foreign bank accounts to the U.S. In addition, you have to file a special form with FinCEN, the U.S Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes and Enforcement Network.

Why Is Money Worth More In Some Countries? Money seems to have no intrinsic value; it’s just paper, or just 1s and 0s in computer code, and yet the U.S. dollar has value even though it’s only backed by faith in the U.S. government to back its currency in gold or silver at some point in the past.

Sashon khanPublished 2 years ago in The SwampKeep Their Names
On Thursday afternoon, February 17, 2022, I met on the ruins of my village Mi’ar with a group of students of Al-Shaghour Secondary School from the populated town of Majd al-Krum, accompanied by their teachers and their teachers, to talk to me about my short story “The Leaning Palm” that they are studying within the curriculum of modern Arabic literature, and despite my admiration for their questions and analysis. This indicates their deep understanding of the story and the efforts made by the Arabic language teacher to show her love for her work and literature. However, they brought me back to a subject that has always hurt me whenever I meet our children in universities, in secondary and middle schools, and in cultural clubs, which is ignorance of the sites of our villages and of the names of our villages and religions. And mountains, trees and plants in our country.
Stork Tower
High in the walls of Jerusalem, the Juhayr Tower, with its presence, beauty, history and meanings, is the Al-Luqluq Tower. This tower is a national feature, and an eternal heritage that concerns all the Palestinian people, young and old, living and dead, because it is a Palestinian narrative that has been circulated by tongues and is still, consisting of stories that began to be renewed in every A year, when spring arrives with its dewy green, lavish colours, desirable warmth, and charming flowers, spring is the season for the arrival of storks to our dear Palestinian country, which seeks warmth, tranquillity, and safety, and the anthems and songs of our children in the Palestinian villages and cities welcome these pet birds, who have an amazing presence. They are adornments for fields, prairies, hawks, and rooftops, and they are birds that have the courage that makes them break into homes with meekness and kindness, as if they wanted to belong to them, were it not for the external noise and the snooping guard dogs.
