Yes they are proud of their country but they are also open to whatever good they can find wherever in the world it be. Apart from this widening academic curiosity and exploration, there is something else which gives me a sense of hope. <br />Despite all the sabre rattling, Taiwan did move much if it's manufacturing to Fujian, across the strait, like HK did in Guangdong. That reflects the pragmatic side of the Chinese. Politics is only one of the dimensions and a mighty economy is trying to come to terms with an emerging new world order in a state of flux. <br />This i believe neither calls for obesience nor confrontation but constructive engagement. The current belligerence is a function of the 'Trumpian' aggression. No young person in an emerging/emerged super power will like it and they are not. If we must get them to the middle ground, we need to deploy both the yin and yang. We must create an environment conducive for PPE rather than suspicious or antagonistic.

In the US in particular, constitutional checks and balance are under severe strain as the entire political system is pushed around by someone with a massive ego and little sense of responsibility. The last chance to rectify this situation is 3 Nov.

Moreover, with universal transparency (public accountability) community trust can be built, sustained and self-fulfilling. Transparency as an all-pervading, yet benign force becomes a powerful governor, irrespective of politics. Indeed, it is non-partisan and by focusing on the issue, it is also discrimination-blind. Such a methodology is now ready and been proclaimed by Professors of Decision Theory as “ingeniously simple”.<br />Informed Choice – ic! is an App in beta-test form which can be applied to any subject/issue (ubiquity), for any number of participants (both active and passive) and always makes the best choice. Briefly, it builds on the basic anatomy of any decision (criteria, weightings and options) in two ways:<br />1. First with a universal ‘language’ for decision-makers (active participants) to express their views which, in turn, are readily understood by those in whose name decisions are made (passive participants), and<br />2. Secondly with an innovative algorithm which departs from all conventional thinking, it always identifies the best choice. <br />Forever freely available, like www, it eschews all commercial influences, i.e. no adverts, subs, comms, donations or sponsorships to ensure it is beyond reproach. It is egalitarian; all participants are treated equally so the capricious “will of the people” can be more accurately gauged.<br />Finally, by properly empowering the citizen, perhaps we should now “Question the Power”, not “the Powerful”?<br />Informed Choice -ic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/13885579814006974845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050369312201897243.post-46967899640888686372020-04-24T12:14:35.617+01:002020-04-24T12:14:35.617+01:00Gold courses?
