CAIRO—When customers walk into Ahmed Ali’s pharmacy here, they often walk out without the medicine they need. He has run out of nearly a dozen prescription drugs for common ailments like high blood pressure and osteoporosis. “Every day I have to say that something isn’t available,” said Mr. Ali, 26, whose patients are flying to Turkey or the U.K. to get medicine, if they can afford the flight. Those who can’t turn to a growing black market for prescription drugs.

Then came the pandemic and a property crisis, and with them, clear evidence of the limits of the debt-fuelled, investment-driven model that had propelled China's economy and businesses like Shores'. "If there is no investment, consumption will be like a tree without roots," said Jia, who previously led a finance ministry think tank. Many uncertainties hang over China's economy: the zero-COVID policy, a crackdown on tech and other industries, geopolitical tensions and rising borrowing costs in export markets. China is widely expected to miss this year's 5.5% GDP growth target and Natixis estimates growth may not even top 3% a year into Xi's next mandate. Oxford Economics expects average annual GDP growth this decade to halve from the 1999-2019 average to 4.5% and slow to 3% in the decade after.

She also outlined steps to boost the military including with mass production of precision missiles and warships. Xi is widely expected to win his third term at the one-every-five-years party congress. "When we say achievement, for Taiwan it's definitely not a good sign, it's not a good thing," Lin said. One senior Taiwanese security official said Xi's third term would bring "unpredictable tensions" across the strait. But China has refused to speak to his successor, Tsai, since she was first elected in 2016, believing her to be a separatist.

During his time in Guangdong, which borders Hong Kong, Wang made his mark by pushing an upgrade of rusting industries and touting socially inclusive policies. Wang was passed over for promotion to the Politburo Standing Committee in 2012, but as vice premier he helped oversee China's external economic relations including with the United States. YOUTH LEAGUELike Li Keqiang and Vice Premier Hu Chunhua - another premiership contender - Wang has ties to the Communist Youth League, a faction seen to be a rival to Xi's. In recent years under Xi, Wang has seemingly tempered his reformist tendencies, echoing the party's tough line on sensitive political issues including Taiwan, Xinjiang and Tibet, while expressing support for Xi.

☆ Analysis: How China's Xi accumulated power, and why it matters in a third term

A visitor takes pictures in front of a screen displaying an image of Chinese President Xi Jinping, at the Museum of the Communist Party of China in Beijing, China September 3, 2022. Restoring the practice, which entails self-criticism in front of the general secretary, marked a small but symbolic example of how Xi has departed from China's collective leadership of recent decades and accumulated power unseen since Mao's time. The expected absence of a clear successor will also enable Xi to rule unchallenged but potentially ratchets up risk the longer he stays in power. Many were purged, including rivals for power like the popular former Chongqing party chief Bo Xilai. Xi also oversaw a crushing of dissent and forbade "disrespectful" discussion about the party among members.

☆ China is testing a magnet-powered floating car that goes up to 143 miles per hour—take a look
▼ + stars: | 2022-09-17 | by ( Tom Huddleston Jr. | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

If you've ever imagined a future filled with flying cars, your dream might be getting slightly closer to reality. Chinese researchers at Southwest Jiaotong University in Chengdu, Sichuan province, performed road tests last week for modified passenger cars that use magnets to float 35 millimeters above a conductor rail, according to Chinese state news agency Xinhua. The researchers outfitted the sedans with powerful magnets on the vehicle floors, allowing them to levitate over a conductor rail nearly five miles in length. Eight cars in total were tested, with one test reaching speeds of roughly 143 miles per hour, according to the report. But Deng Zigang, one of the university professors who developed the vehicles, told the state news agency that using magnetic levitation for passenger vehicles has the potential to reduce energy usage and increase the vehicles' range.

Few African regions have the nerve to say no to China. Independence-minded Somaliland is one. “We’re not going to allow anyone to dictate who we can have a relationship with,” said its foreign minister.

☆ Au fost descoperite fosilele unui mamifer uriaș; Avea 21 de tone și era mai înalt decât o girafă

Sursa foto: ProfimediaAu fost descoperite fosilele unui mamifer uriaș; Avea 21 de tone și era mai înalt decât o girafăO nouă specie de rinocer gigantic preistoric - printre cele mai mari mamifere care au populat vreodată uscatul - a fost descoperită în nord-vestul Chinei, susţin cercetători din această ţară. Paraceratherium linxiaense, care a trăit în urmă cu aproximativ 26,5 milioane de ani, cântărea 21 de tone, echivalentul a patru elefanţi africani mari. Putea ajunge cu capul - fără corn - până la o înălţime de 7 metri, reuşind să se hrănească cu frunze din vârfurile copacilor, ceea ce îl făcea mai înalt decât o girafă. Într-un studiu publicat joi în revista Communications Biology, oamenii de ştiinţă au precizat că analiza fosilelor - descoperite în apropierea satului Wangjiachuan în 2015 - a relevat o specie complet nouă, diferită de ceilalţi rinoceri gigantici. Or, dacă acest rinocer gigantic a putut călători liber între nord-vestul Chinei şi subcontinentul indian-pakistanez, aceasta înseamnă că Platoul Tibetan avea probabil unele zone joase la acea vreme, au indicat cercetătorii.

☆ Panegiricul lui Voronin. Op-Ed de Victor Pelin

Op-Ed de Victor Pelin„ Vladimir Voronin știe ce spune, întrucât a fost victima influenței străine directe în timpul alegerilor parlamentare din 2005 și din 2014...”1. Dar să revenim la compararea PCRM și PCC, care ne amintește de fabula țânțarului și armasarului . Deosebirea e că tovarășul Deng a procedat calculat atunci când a anunțat deschiderea și reformarea Chinei, iar Voronin a procedat hazardat, amenințând cu transformarea Republicii Moldova în Cuba Europei . Apoi, a urmat semnarea în 2002 a decretului privind integrarea europeană a Republicii Moldova, deși în 2001 obținuse mandatul cetățenilor pentru integrarea în Uniunea Rusia-Belarus. Despre adevărata influență externăProblema influenței externe în Republicii Moldova a devenit o obsesie și temă de campanie a BECS.

„Topirea mai rapidă a gheții din cauza încălzirii globale a fost cea mai probabilă cauză a schimbării direcționale a polilor în anii 1990”, a explicat Shanshan Deng, cercetător coordonator de la Institutul de Științe Geografice și Resurse Naturale din China. Ne spune cât de puternică este schimbarea masei, atât de puternică încât poate modifica axa Pământului ”, a explicat Vincent Humphrey, om de știință climatolog de la Universitatea din Zurich, Elveția. Potrivit estimărilor cercetătorilor, principalul factor declanșator al deplasării polilor magnetici observată în anii 1990 a fost topirea gheții din cauza schimbărilor climatice, potrivit . „Topirea mai rapidă a gheții din cauza încălzirii globale a fost cea mai probabilă cauză a schimbării direcționale din deplasarea polilor magnetici în anii 1990. Gradul de deplasare a axei de până acum este atât de subtil încât oamenii nu l-ar putea resimți în viața zilnică.

☆ North Korea needs nukes because of its religion
▼ + stars: | 2017-07-08 | by ( Paul French | Foreign Policy | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +9 min

But even engagement strategies can't stop the relentless move toward a deliverable North Korea nuclear arsenal. President Bill Clinton essentially attempted this in 1994 when he approved $4 billion in "energy aid" to North Korea. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un poses with participants during the 8th Congress of the Korean Children's Union (KCU) in Pyongyang, North Korea. A vendor waits for customers at the shop inside the international airport in Pyongyang, North Korea May 3, 2016. But if the world accepts a nuclear North Korea (and it accepted a nuclear Pakistan, as North Koreans have reminded me), then the second half of Kim's theory might just give the kind of pressure that can be used.
