I hope you continue this dialogue with these two guests. This was very informative. I would have loved for Einar to discuss the Plaza Accords and how the US undermined Japan's growing economic hegemony in the 1980s. It left Japan permanently wounded and maybe more subservient to Washington. Look forward to more discussion. I am a Japanophile and read post Meiji writing. It is really an untapped treasure here in the US.
The Current Leadership in Japan appears to be looking at China as a Neighbor, instead of as a threat? The US manipulation of the economy of Japan since WW2, did resemble Colonial status as Japan's Fate for quite a bit of the foreseeable future. As more Nations appear to shed the Fiat Currencies, and the Basis for Trade shifts to the use of Physical Currency as the BRICS Group introduces their form of determining Trade Values and Monetary computation, the ability of the G-7 Nations Fiat Currency does appear to face a formidable challenge? The sale of USS to Nippon Steel, now brings back memories of Rockefeller Center being rented out to Japan.
Yes but do you drive to somewhere or do something else with that money, still using oil other people got killed over? If somebody carried those beans on their back and you got carbon credits given to you each day without having to work, 20 credits or dollars wouldn't really matter then if you really wanted coffee. A five dollar coffee or ten now isn't paying the external cost of oil, doesn't matter if it was 2 but you would only be paying less of the external costs of death and pollution. Whether you spend the money on coffee or something else, if you aren't paying the external costs now then Brics won't help that unless less amount of money needed means less over consumption and in that case you might have one dollar coffees, lower costs for the worlds poor is going to increase overall consumption, give the poor of the world an extra five dollars and they have had a 100% increase in consumption, with the modern world reducing in numbers due to old age, the consumption coming from them might mean what we saw in the last 200 could be the next 100 years.

Greed is the symptom, not the cause. The cause are the rewards and incentives of capitalism itself which incentivises contempt for those without wealth by those who have it, sociopathy to protect and maintain that wealth, and pure unbridled greed to make that wealth grow. Greed is the symptom, not the cause. You want governments that are not corrupted by the rich? you want an honest media not in the pockets of the rich? You want greed not to be a problem,? great, then GET RID OF CAPITALISM. Which is a thing voting for any centrist, or any right winger, will never accomplish.
People keep thinking that ASEAN is like some sort of EU for SE Asia. It's not. It's a loose organization of SE Asian countries that cooperate on a number of foreign policies, trade and some security issues. It is not a framework for a United States of SE Asia and people really need to drop this.
@@gerhard7323 The entire G-7 Group seems to face the inevitable collapse of the Fiat Banking System. Their use of money that seems to have lost all visible support, faces the introduction of Physical Currency in a week. The ability to offer a fixed Value to Currency used by the majority of resource providers, seems to introduce a very popular effect? The Fiat Currencies of the G-7 no longer appear to be capable of dictating economic effects.
There are times when I justly have to pat myself on the back! I did not go to college but 30 years ago I argued with friends that the US is starting to control world banking and this will eventually be used to force countries to do as they are told or be destroyed financially. “This would extend to domestic economics and military intervention. It will be another weapon!” I was ridiculed! But, as a socialist I understood that they were effectively making socialism illegal as a political choice because we (in the UK) were signing trade and financial agreements that will make it impossible to have a choice at the polls. “You will have two parties that both subscribe to exactly the same economic system! Socialism will no longer be a choice simply because it can’t be implemented!” Fast forward 30 years…
Exactumundo! You indicate the time the economic domination was emphasized. The last 20 years have demonstrated the cost of the USA purchase of the Eastern European Nations business. The cost to the US Economy has been over $30 trillion. Now that the USA has appropriated the devotion and resources available in the Balkans, the money to rebuild Military Power has faded. The Currency available to pay Workers in the USA to provide more weapons and Ammo. has gone. The US inflation of essential goods cost has driven the ability to support the US Fiat Currency into oblivion. The ability to continue the struggle to convince the Planet to love US Dollars is over. The Currency in 2 weeks will demonstrate no value.

De dollarisation is not us and them. It is a collection of options. It is a protection against sanctions. India does not need to de-dollarise. However expect it to be described as us or them by those who dont want change.
Participating in a Physical Currency system, that has a fixed cost for Trade Valuations, appears to challenge the US Domination of Currency with their Fiat Cash values. As the resources that appear to be well over the majority of available products on this planet, appear to be at the least sending Representatives to Kazan next week, the arrangement of Trade Deals that those Nations seem to acquire by deciding the profits of trade with those who have resources that embellish their economy, looks possible? Last years trade arrangements by 60 participants who met in South Africa, delivered several effects that seem to drive western inflation up a notch? This year the 100 additional Participants will actually present a visible problem to the G-7 Group. Economic War is Hell.....
The market has been unfavorable for months even after applying numerous strategies I keep losing my money selling-off during dips, It’s a bad psychological position to be in, and I’m afraid to hold anything right now. What kind of trading plan can I use to avoid losses? How are you guys still making money? I’m down 55k this week, and it’s so overwhelming 😢😭😭.
I'm not sure which market you're referencing, but time is on your side. Hold until you're in profit, and consider a stop-loss plan of up to 10% for swing trading. It took me four years to realize that chart predictions are futile; you never know what will happen. Those years were tough without a mentor. Now, I keep things simple and disciplined, averaging $47k per week with minimal trading. I'm especially grateful to Ryan Brooks for his insightful 1-on-1 sessions, which have deepened my understanding of market dynamics and eased my trading fears.
@@deroutant I appreciate this recommendation and hope that by hearing about it I can gain some insights into the direction of the market and strategies to combat the downtrend.
I plan to retire at 62 in another country outside the US that is free, safe and very cheap with a high quality of life. I could fully just rely on only my SS if I wanted to when that times arrives but I'll also have at least one pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific Investment account with my Tracy Britt Cool Consulting my FA. Retiring comfortably in the US these days is almost impossible. I honestly don't understand why people don't move to another country when they get older in retirement. It seems everybody has excuses for almost anything to not take action to better their situation.
The economic crisis and downturn are all the signs of 2008 market crash 2.0, so my question is do I still save in the US dollar or is it okay to move all emergency and savings to precious metals?
In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.
Gold and Silver are often seen as a safe-haven asset that can protect against inflation and economic uncertainty. But like any investment, it carries risks. To determine if gold is the right investment option for you, an investment advisor can help you weigh the potential benefits and risks of investing in gold. They can also help you create a well-diversified portfolio that includes gold as part of a broader investment strategy. An investment advisor can help you decide how much of your portfolio should be allocated to gold and select other investments that can complement your gold holdings.
Investing in gold is a reliable choice, and I plan to keep buying more to make up for my losses. While silver is also a good investment, my collectibles are not as similar. It's important to have clear investment goals and educate yourself on the type of investment that interests you. I work with a financial consultant regulated by the SEC, and started small, but eventually accumulated over $800,000.
Can you provide instructions on how to contact your advisor? I'm experiencing erosion of my funds due to inflation and looking for a more profitable investment strategy to make better use of them.
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Marisa Michelle Litwinsky’’ for about two years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Brilliant guests and conversation. Mr. Pang embodies self-effacement and understatement with no parallel. This conversation should run a whole long night with some alcohol.
I enjoyed this conversation very much. Both guests are deeply knowledgeable of the Geo-political nuances in Asia, the U.S. and beyond. Great to have them both back to hear more. 👍👍❤️
If you respect Kant as a metaphysician and moral philosopher, do not read his writings on non-European societies, particularly China. The thinker who took the best from Kant, ignored Kant’s weaknesses, and advanced western philosophy to its next stage was Schopenhauer. He was also the first western thinker who studied, respected and was influenced by Asian philosophy and religion.
I loved this conversation. Re: Japan, they will still have issues of food/energy security that they had prior to WW2 (when usa embargoed/sanctioned them). If they militarise, no one in asia/south east asia will trust them. And if they don’t militarise, they will never be able to shake off their current coloniser. Only way forward is to be friendly with their neighbours (also apologise for their WW2 atrocities/eat humble pie) and restart the relationship there. Japan can be strong just trading and exporting high tech products just like they did in the 80s. And with that strength and alignment with SEA, they can perhaps kick the usa out of that region permanently.
Author Paul Kennedy pointed out that Japan plays a very intelligent game with the USA of spending just enough on defense whist staying under the US security umbrella. This is true if Europe too and was the post war deal. In exchange, they support the USA diplomatically at the UN etc.
Among the ASEAN countries, only the Philippines is not going in the same direction. Yes! Even Myanmar is. And yes, US is exceptiona... Exceptionally stupid!
One of the greatest discussion of a new age and new world, let see it though for the better of all humankind. There still even more fine tuning that can be grown from this set point .
I totally agree with John and Pascal about Japan. Japan will never have to guts, confidence or desire to pull away from the US or EU as it sees itself as superior to Asia..
Consensus is easier than you think. As humans we have common aims. I have worked with over 30 people in this way. It takes longer and requires discussion but is more sure. If decisions are pushed through they come back to bite. Consensus decisions have little comeback and are supported rather than undermined
Consensus appears to be what is sought in Kazan next week? As the majority of resource provider Nations send Representatives, the Trade they arrange by consensus may drive the Western Currencies into oblivion?
Einar Tangen . Your facts and logical explanation and high level thinking memerize me. If I were to compare you with Gordon Chang he is a " real novice" in geo-political of China and Asia. He is more often wrong then right in all of his views.
The USA had wanted to control the Pacific Rim as their "outer periphery" ever since Matthew Perry's 1853 "visit" to Tokyo Bay to coerce Japan out of isolation. Only the American Civil War, and the need to focus on the USA, saved these island nations at the time, from the same fate of Hawaii or the Philippines ("morphed" or used as imperialist proxies for US systemic expansion). One could say that the Manifest Destiny didn't stop when it reached the US West Coast. It continued into the Pacific. Perry stated at some point that he wished for the USA to take Formosa as US overseas territory as well, but Japan beat the USA to it (1895). After 1945, Japan was morphed as "unsinkable aircraft carrier" (aka the "staging area" in geopolitics/grand strategy). Now the USA/collective West are back. Taiwan must be "morphed" to become a US asset and proxy. A "next Ukraine."
Woderful discussion. You and. Your guests helo to clarify the BRICS project creat some interesting ideas and even manage to make the debate very entertaining. Bravo
Russia build up a new airplane from the scratch, the MC 21. A very modern airplane, some light years further in development in comparison to the cheap "modernization" of the old Boeing 737, called 737 MAX with only two new engines under the old wings. Boeing "modernization" cost Boeing now at minimum 18,000 jobs, a lot of credibility - and btw. 400 Passengers and crew-staff their lives.
The financial market is very similar if not identical to horse racing where the "experts" tell you, which horse is going to win and after the race can explain in detail why it came in last.
In ancient time Japan tried to be eastern Song and Tang dynsties kind of empire and then they tried to be eastern westerners kind of nation. Wow… they are so lost. Now they have astockholm-syndrom.

John Pang's comment about Japan hopefully rediscovering its Asian roots is spot on. Sadly fewer younger Japanese are studying, doing internships or working abroad. The number of Japanese students studying the Chinese, Korean and other Asian languages is in decline.
Agreed re: need to steer economies away from being finance-heavy. Lessening inequality across and within nations will also bring the benefits of better mental health and thus happiness. Inequality is directly correlated to social and mental health issues.
I understand and support the BRICS. But, judging by the facts described in the current information of both conflicts, I have a deep suspicion that the northern country will seek the most horrible of solutions. I do not see in its leaders the intention to simply accept the loss of their hegemony. I hope October 22-24 goes off without a hitch.

"What, then, is the State as a sociological concept? The State, completely in its genesis, essentially and almost completely during the first stages of its existence, is a social institution, forced by a victorious group of men on a defeated group, with the sole purpose of regulating the dominion of the victorious group over the vanquished, and securing itself against revolt from within and attacks from abroad. Teleologically, this dominion had no other purpose than the economic exploitation of the vanquished by the victors. No primitive state known to history originated in any other manner. Wherever a reliable tradition reports otherwise, either it concerns the amalgamation of two fully developed primitive states into one body of more complete organization; or else it is an adaptation to men of the fable of the sheep which made a bear their king in order to be protected against the wolf. But even in this latter case, the form and content of the State became precisely the same as in those states where nothing intervened, and which became immediately 'wolf states.' "The little history learned in our school-days suffices to prove this generic doctrine. Every-where we find some warlike tribe of wild men breaking through the boundaries of some less warlike people, settling down as nobility and founding its State. In Mesopotamia, wave follows wave, state follows state-Babylonians, Amoritans, Assyrians, Arabs, Medes, Persians, Macedonians, Parthians, Mongols, Seldshuks, Tartars, Turks; on the Nile, Hyksos, Nubians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Turks; in Greece, the Doric States are typical examples; in Italy, Romans, Ostrogoths, Lombards, Franks, Germans; in Spain, Carthaginians, Visigoths, Arabs; in Gaul, Romans, Franks, Burgundians, Normans; in Britain, Saxons, Normans. In India wave upon wave of wild warlike clans has flooded over the country even to the islands of the Indian Ocean. So also is it with China. In the European colonies, we find the selfsame type, wherever a settled element of the population has been found, as for example, in South America and Mexico. Where that element is lacking, where only roving huntsmen are found, who may be exterminated but not subjugated, the conquerors resort to the device of importing from afar masses of men to be exploited, to be subject perpetually to forced labor, and thus the slave trade arises." -- The State by Franz Oppenheimer
Einar, Malaysia ranking in the Most Peaceful countries index likely rise to the top after adjusting for population size like GDP is more accurate when adjusted to PPP. Malaysia has the biggest population size among the Top 10 countries in this Institute for Economics and Peace Index. Logically, easier for a country to remain more peaceful when its population is smaller.

I'm short, all shorts will require years of patience - don't bother. Folks are "out to lunch."
Yes but do you drive to somewhere or do something else with that money, still using oil other people got killed over? If somebody carried those beans on their back and you got carbon credits given to you each day without having to work, 20 credits or dollars wouldn't really matter then if you really wanted coffee. A five dollar coffee or ten now isn't paying the external cost of oil, doesn't matter if it was 2 but you would only be paying less of the external costs of death and pollution.
Whether you spend the money on coffee or something else, if you aren't paying the external costs now then Brics won't help that unless less amount of money needed means less over consumption and in that case you might have one dollar coffees, lower costs for the worlds poor is going to increase overall consumption, give the poor of the world an extra five dollars and they have had a 100% increase in consumption, with the modern world reducing in numbers due to old age, the consumption coming from them might mean what we saw in the last 200 could be the next 100 years.
It’s called value adding Labour and machinery and water and milk and sugar.
@@antonyjh1234 The ability to measure the Value of Resources in Fiat Currency, does appear to face a challenge today?
Well, in a week or two the effects of Trade Agreements that will be arranged in Kazan as the owners of resources that represent over 75% of the total available on this Planet, should make a dramatic effect on trade valuations and the participation in Fiat Currencies?

The US Treasury promised to support the Fiat Dollar in 1970.
They did OK until 20 years ago.
The US Fiat Currency has no value today.
Greed is the symptom, not the cause. The cause are the rewards and incentives of capitalism itself which incentivises contempt for those without wealth by those who have it, sociopathy to protect and maintain that wealth, and pure unbridled greed to make that wealth grow.
Greed is the symptom, not the cause. You want governments that are not corrupted by the rich?
you want an honest media not in the pockets of the rich?
You want greed not to be a problem,?
great, then GET RID OF CAPITALISM. Which is a thing voting for any centrist, or any right winger, will never accomplish.

People keep thinking that ASEAN is like some sort of EU for SE Asia. It's not. It's a loose organization of SE Asian countries that cooperate on a number of foreign policies, trade and some security issues. It is not a framework for a United States of SE Asia and people really need to drop this.
Very wise too. The EU is heading for a fall I think.
@@gerhard7323 The entire G-7 Group seems to face the inevitable collapse of the Fiat Banking System.
Their use of money that seems to have lost all visible support, faces the introduction of Physical Currency in a week.
The ability to offer a fixed Value to Currency used by the majority of resource providers,
seems to introduce a very popular effect?
The Fiat Currencies of the G-7 no longer appear to be capable of dictating economic effects.
There are times when I justly have to pat myself on the back! I did not go to college but 30 years ago I argued with friends that the US is starting to control world banking and this will eventually be used to force countries to do as they are told or be destroyed financially. “This would extend to domestic economics and military intervention. It will be another weapon!” I was ridiculed!
But, as a socialist I understood that they were effectively making socialism illegal as a political choice because we (in the UK) were signing trade and financial agreements that will make it impossible to have a choice at the polls. “You will have two parties that both subscribe to exactly the same economic system! Socialism will no longer be a choice simply because it can’t be implemented!”
Fast forward 30 years…
Exactumundo!
You indicate the time the economic domination was emphasized.
The last 20 years have demonstrated the cost of the USA purchase of the Eastern European Nations business.
The cost to the US Economy has been over $30 trillion.
Now that the USA has appropriated the devotion and resources available in the Balkans,
the money to rebuild Military Power has faded.
The Currency available to pay Workers in the USA to provide more weapons and Ammo.
has gone.
The US inflation of essential goods cost has driven the ability to support the US Fiat Currency into oblivion.
The ability to continue the struggle to convince the Planet to love US Dollars is over.
The Currency in 2 weeks will demonstrate no value.
Yup.
You nailed it. I'd guess using socialism as a methodology helped?

@@danielhutchinson6604 I presume you are referring to the move from gold backed to fiat currency. If so then I would suggest that it exceeded it's limitations immediately but I see currency as a symbol and therefore has no intrinsic value.
another hit dr Pascal!
De dollarisation is not us and them. It is a collection of options. It is a protection against sanctions. India does not need to de-dollarise. However expect it to be described as us or them by those who dont want change.
Participating in a Physical Currency system, that has a fixed cost for Trade Valuations, appears to challenge the US Domination of Currency with their Fiat Cash values.
As the resources that appear to be well over the majority of available products on this planet, appear to be at the least sending Representatives to Kazan next week, the arrangement of Trade Deals that those Nations seem to acquire by deciding the profits of trade with those who have resources that embellish their economy, looks possible?
Last years trade arrangements by 60 participants who met in South Africa, delivered several effects that seem to drive western inflation up a notch?
This year the 100 additional Participants will actually present a visible problem to the G-7 Group.
Economic War is Hell.....
Another interesting and informative discussion! Thank you.
The market has been unfavorable for months even after applying numerous strategies I keep losing my money selling-off during dips, It’s a bad psychological position to be in, and I’m afraid to hold anything right now. What kind of trading plan can I use to avoid losses? How are you guys still making money? I’m down 55k this week, and it’s so overwhelming 😢😭😭.
I'm not sure which market you're referencing, but time is on your side. Hold until you're in profit, and consider a stop-loss plan of up to 10% for swing trading. It took me four years to realize that chart predictions are futile; you never know what will happen. Those years were tough without a mentor. Now, I keep things simple and disciplined, averaging $47k per week with minimal trading. I'm especially grateful to Ryan Brooks for his insightful 1-on-1 sessions, which have deepened my understanding of market dynamics and eased my trading fears.
I've also heard a lot about Ryan, but no one shares his details. please can youshare?

Greetings from 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Pang is one cool guy.
I plan to retire at 62 in another country outside the US that is free, safe and very cheap with a high quality of life. I could fully just rely on only my SS if I wanted to when that times arrives but I'll also have at least one pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific Investment account with my Tracy Britt Cool Consulting my FA. Retiring comfortably in the US these days is almost impossible. I honestly don't understand why people don't move to another country when they get older in retirement. It seems everybody has excuses for almost anything to not take action to better their situation.
What country you moving too?I'm headed to Thailand or the Philippines in 4 years.
I have a sister in Sri Lanka, should be easy for me to settle in
How can i reach this Tracy Britt Cool Consulting, I will like to benefit from her good work. How to reach her pls
Her name is Tracy Britt Cool Consulting.
You can glance her name up on the internet.she's renowned and has quite a following. So it shouldn't be a hassle finding her.
Wonderful news Sir thank you for the truth
Yes. Very intetesting discussion. Especially the reintegration of Japan into Asia!
Excellent talk!
Great discussion 👍
Excellent conversation.
The economic crisis and downturn are all the signs of 2008 market crash 2.0, so my question is do I still save in the US dollar or is it okay to move all emergency and savings to precious metals?
In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.
Gold and Silver are often seen as a safe-haven asset that can protect against inflation and economic uncertainty. But like any investment, it carries risks. To determine if gold is the right investment option for you, an investment advisor can help you weigh the potential benefits and risks of investing in gold. They can also help you create a well-diversified portfolio that includes gold as part of a broader investment strategy. An investment advisor can help you decide how much of your portfolio should be allocated to gold and select other investments that can complement your gold holdings.
Investing in gold is a reliable choice, and I plan to keep buying more to make up for my losses. While silver is also a good investment, my collectibles are not as similar. It's important to have clear investment goals and educate yourself on the type of investment that interests you. I work with a financial consultant regulated by the SEC, and started small, but eventually accumulated over $800,000.
Can you provide instructions on how to contact your advisor? I'm experiencing erosion of my funds due to inflation and looking for a more profitable investment strategy to make better use of them.
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Marisa Michelle Litwinsky’’ for about two years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Brilliant guests and conversation. Mr. Pang embodies self-effacement and understatement with no parallel. This conversation should run a whole long night with some alcohol.
Einar is the Man.
Thanks, A wonderful talk...
I enjoyed this conversation very much. Both guests are deeply knowledgeable of the Geo-political nuances in Asia, the U.S. and beyond. Great to have them both back to hear more. 👍👍❤️
Immanuel Kant:" Europe is like a crab." Crab is crab and nothing more...
is it spelled with a b or p 😂
If you respect Kant as a metaphysician and moral philosopher, do not read his writings on non-European societies, particularly China.
The thinker who took the best from Kant, ignored Kant’s weaknesses, and advanced western philosophy to its next stage was Schopenhauer. He was also the first western thinker who studied, respected and was influenced by Asian philosophy and religion.
EXCELLENT!
Thank goodness for BRICS and all the national leaders ne that have joined them.
Thank you for this discussion.
Evil can't rule forever 😂😂😅
I loved this conversation. Re: Japan, they will still have issues of food/energy security that they had prior to WW2 (when usa embargoed/sanctioned them). If they militarise, no one in asia/south east asia will trust them. And if they don’t militarise, they will never be able to shake off their current coloniser. Only way forward is to be friendly with their neighbours (also apologise for their WW2 atrocities/eat humble pie) and restart the relationship there. Japan can be strong just trading and exporting high tech products just like they did in the 80s. And with that strength and alignment with SEA, they can perhaps kick the usa out of that region permanently.
ecurrency is a superhighway to totalitarianism
Come on! Japan leaders left their balls in DC for the last 50+ years!
Author Paul Kennedy pointed out that Japan plays a very intelligent game with the USA of spending just enough on defense whist staying under the US security umbrella. This is true if Europe too and was the post war deal. In exchange, they support the USA diplomatically at the UN etc.
We need to trade in our own currencies because its our democratic RIGHT
Backed by gold, as golden rule.
Pascal, no matter how sympathetic and integrated you are, the Japanese will not tell you - you are not Japanese!
44thousand US troops stationed in Japan. The Japanese don't like it. Meanwhile Germany seems to love it's own occuption. Mind boggling.
Among the ASEAN countries, only the Philippines is not going in the same direction. Yes! Even Myanmar is.
And yes, US is exceptiona... Exceptionally stupid!
Every family has a black sheep. BRICS has India. EU has Hungary. NATO has Turkey.
Global majority.. dump the dollar now!
One of the greatest discussion of a new age and new world, let see it though for the better of all humankind. There still even more fine tuning that can be grown from this set point .
I totally agree with John and Pascal about Japan. Japan will never have to guts, confidence or desire to pull away from the US or EU as it sees itself as superior to Asia..

Consensus is easier than you think. As humans we have common aims. I have worked with over 30 people in this way. It takes longer and requires discussion but is more sure. If decisions are pushed through they come back to bite. Consensus decisions have little comeback and are supported rather than undermined
Consensus appears to be what is sought in Kazan next week?
As the majority of resource provider Nations send Representatives,
the Trade they arrange by consensus may drive the Western Currencies
into oblivion?

Einar Tangen . Your facts and logical explanation and high level thinking memerize me. If I were to compare you with Gordon Chang he is a " real novice" in geo-political of China and Asia. He is more often wrong then right in all of his views.
Brilliant discussian, wish Australia would take note.
Such a great segment.
Truly enlightening.
The USA had wanted to control the Pacific Rim as their "outer periphery" ever since Matthew Perry's 1853 "visit" to Tokyo Bay to coerce Japan out of isolation. Only the American Civil War, and the need to focus on the USA, saved these island nations at the time, from the same fate of Hawaii or the Philippines ("morphed" or used as imperialist proxies for US systemic expansion).
One could say that the Manifest Destiny didn't stop when it reached the US West Coast. It continued into the Pacific.
Perry stated at some point that he wished for the USA to take Formosa as US overseas territory as well, but Japan beat the USA to it (1895).
After 1945, Japan was morphed as "unsinkable aircraft carrier" (aka the "staging area" in geopolitics/grand strategy).
Now the USA/collective West are back.
Taiwan must be "morphed" to become a US asset and proxy. A "next Ukraine."

Russia build up a new airplane from the scratch, the MC 21. A very modern airplane, some light years further in development in comparison to the cheap "modernization" of the old Boeing 737, called 737 MAX with only two new engines under the old wings. Boeing "modernization" cost Boeing now at minimum 18,000 jobs, a lot of credibility - and btw. 400 Passengers and crew-staff their lives.
The financial market is very similar if not identical to horse racing where the "experts" tell you, which horse is going to win and after the race can explain in detail why it came in last.
In ancient time Japan tried to be eastern Song and Tang dynsties kind of empire and then they tried to be eastern westerners kind of nation. Wow… they are so lost. Now they have astockholm-syndrom.
The one measure will be the Gold price in relation to the county currency. Think that's the idea of the BRICS to hold Gold.

The Asean nations suffered a traumatic financial cold in 1997 and have since built up their financial immune system , which is a valuable model for other regional countries in the world to adopt and emulate .

Where did you get your news? Hopefully not from CIA or some news media funded by USA’s recent billions dollars anti China propaganda 😊
Thanks
John Pang's comment about Japan hopefully rediscovering its Asian roots is spot on. Sadly fewer younger Japanese are studying, doing internships or working abroad. The number of Japanese students studying the Chinese, Korean and other Asian languages is in decline.
Agreed re: need to steer economies away from being finance-heavy. Lessening inequality across and within nations will also bring the benefits of better mental health and thus happiness. Inequality is directly correlated to social and mental health issues.
I understand and support the BRICS. But, judging by the facts described in the current information of both conflicts, I have a deep suspicion that the northern country will seek the most horrible of solutions. I do not see in its leaders the intention to simply accept the loss of their hegemony. I hope October 22-24 goes off without a hitch.
Each action (err "solution") has been more violent, destructive and evil. Each time they make themselves more apparent, yet few fully understand what/who they are, let alone how to stop.

"What, then, is the State as a sociological concept? The State, completely in its genesis, essentially and almost completely during the first stages of its existence, is a social institution, forced by a victorious group of men on a defeated group, with the sole purpose of regulating the dominion of the victorious group over the vanquished, and securing itself against revolt from within and attacks from abroad. Teleologically, this dominion had no other purpose than the economic exploitation of the vanquished by the victors.
No primitive state known to history originated in any other manner. Wherever a reliable tradition reports otherwise, either it concerns the amalgamation of two fully developed primitive states into one body of more complete organization; or else it is an adaptation to men of the fable of the sheep which made a bear their king in order to be protected against the wolf. But even in this latter case, the form and content of the State became precisely the same as in those states where nothing intervened, and which became immediately 'wolf states.'
"The little history learned in our school-days suffices to prove this generic doctrine. Every-where we find some warlike tribe of wild men breaking through the boundaries of some less warlike people, settling down as nobility and founding its State. In Mesopotamia, wave follows wave, state follows state-Babylonians, Amoritans, Assyrians, Arabs, Medes, Persians, Macedonians, Parthians, Mongols, Seldshuks, Tartars, Turks; on the Nile, Hyksos, Nubians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Turks; in Greece, the Doric States are typical examples; in Italy, Romans, Ostrogoths, Lombards, Franks, Germans; in Spain, Carthaginians, Visigoths, Arabs; in Gaul, Romans, Franks, Burgundians, Normans; in Britain, Saxons, Normans. In India wave upon wave of wild warlike clans has flooded over the country even to the islands of the Indian Ocean. So also is it with China. In the European colonies, we find the selfsame type, wherever a settled element of the population has been found, as for example, in South America and Mexico. Where that element is lacking, where only roving huntsmen are found, who may be exterminated but not subjugated, the conquerors resort to the device of importing from afar masses of men to be exploited, to be subject perpetually to forced labor, and thus the slave trade arises."

Einar, Malaysia ranking in the Most Peaceful countries index likely rise to the top after adjusting for population size like GDP is more accurate when adjusted to PPP. Malaysia has the biggest population size among the Top 10 countries in this Institute for Economics and Peace Index.
