BartsBigBugBag , in China’s police warn fearful investors not to protest, stepping up efforts to clampdown on criticism

These aren’t protests by the masses, these are “protests” by investors upset that China is de-risking the real estate market exactly to prevent a Lehman style crash. They stopped publishing youth unemployment because it was useless data, the job of the youth is to become educated, not to work in the economy. Having a low youth unemployment means your youth are either not getting educated, or are being forced to work during their education.

They stopped publishing youth unemployment because it was useless data, the job of the youth is to become educated, not to work in the economy. Having a low youth unemployment means your youth are either not getting educated, or are being forced to work during their education.

At least in the US, unemployment is almost always defined defined as people who want to work but can’t find work. Students are generally excluded.

These aren’t protests by the masses, these are “protests” by investors upset that China is de-risking the real estate market exactly to prevent a Lehman style crash.

These investor are ‘visited’ by police telling them to shut up, supposedly because Beijing gets nervous about its economy.

The measures taken by China in 2020 in the property market (especially regarding the liquidity ratios) were correct, but they came far too late. It is another example why a centrally planned economy can’t work and is bound to produce devastating effects in the long run. (‘In the west’ there are similar liquidity rules in financial services, but they aren’t always applied due to massive lobbying activities as we could once again see recently in tbe U.S. with the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and others.)

Having a low youth unemployment means your youth are either not getting educated, or are being forced to work during their education.

Please stop posting such garbage. China has a lot of well educated young people, but they find no jobs.

superflippy , in ‘One big adventure’: the Russian minister who fled the draft to drive trucks in the US

It’s a little surprising to me that he’s still posting on Instagram. I’d have thought someone who defied the Russian government wouldn’t be flouting it in the open. But I guess he probably knows better than most what they’re actually capable of, or maybe he knows that chasing down draft dodgers on the other side of the world isn’t a high priority right now.

autotldr Bot , in Indictment returned in Georgia as grand jury wraps up Trump election probe

🤖 I’m a bot that provides automatic summaries for articles:

Click here to see the summaryATLANTA (AP) — A grand jury in Georgia that has been investigating former President Donald Trump over his efforts to undo the 2020 election results in that state returned at least one indictment Monday, though it was not immediately clear against whom. The grand jury heard from witnesses into the evening Monday in the election subversion investigation into Donald Trump, a long day of testimony punctuated by the mysterious and brief appearance on a county website of a list of criminal charges against the former president that prosecutors later disavowed. But the process hit an unexpected snag in the middle of the day, when Reuters reported on a document listing criminal charges to be brought against Trump, including state racketeering counts, conspiracy to commit false statements and solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer. A spokesperson for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said the report of charges being filed was “inaccurate,” but declined to comment further on a kerfuffle that the Trump legal team rapidly jumped on to attack the integrity of the investigation. It was unclear why the list was posted while grand jurors were still hearing from witnesses in the sprawling investigation into actions taken by Trump and others in their efforts to overturn his narrow loss in Georgia to Democrat Joe Biden. Nguyen and Jordan both attended legislative hearings in December 2020 during which former New York mayor and Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and others made false claims of widespread election fraud in Georgia.

autotldr Bot , in Russian rouble sinks, Kremlin blames loose monetary policy

🤖 I’m a bot that provides automatic summaries for articles:

Click here to see the summary"The central bank has all the tools to normalise the situation in the near future and ensure that lending rates are reduced to sustainable levels. On Monday, the bank said it saw no financial stability risks from the rouble’s weakening and gave another hawkish signal that a rate hike is possible soon. The rouble has chartered a turbulent course since Russia invaded Ukraine, slumping to a record low of 120 against the dollar in March last year before recovering to a more than seven-year high a few months later, supported by capital controls and surging export revenues. “The weaker rouble is a damning indictment of Russia’s war on Ukraine,” Timothy Ash, a London-based senior sovereign strategist at BlueBay Asset Management, said in an email. Last week, Russia effectively abandoned its budget rule, with the central bank halting the finance ministry’s FX purchases to try and reduce volatility. “The central bank is not fully in control,” independent Moscow-based economist Ian Melkumov told Reuters, although it has aggressive tools that it is currently reluctant to use.

sub_ , in New Zealand intelligence report accuses China, Russia, Iran of ‘foreign interference’

Yeah, I remember reading about the house of a NZ Professor was broken into, and some believes that it was done by Chinese spy , it’s shitty.

These kind of behavior harms everyone, including other Chinese diaspora who never been into China and grew up in NZ or other places.

I also wanna say that, it’s kinda unfortunate that everything New Zealand is shortened to NZ, I misread NZSIS as nazis at first.

summarizer , in New Zealand intelligence report accuses China, Russia, Iran of ‘foreign interference’

This is the best summary I could come up with:


New Zealand’s intelligence service has accused China of foreign interference in its democracy, amid increasing tensions and geopolitical competition in the region.

Friday’s public threat assessment points to “increased strategic competition” in the Indo-Pacific region as driving the interference from China.

Beijing’s “efforts to advance its political, economic, military and security involvement in the Pacific is a major factor driving strategic competition in our home region,” it says.

In previous security overview reports, NZSIS has spoken broadly about having gathered evidence of interference and espionage activities in New Zealand by foreign states and agents, but not named specific countries or governments.

In one case study – not attributed to a specific state – it said “an undeclared foreign intelligence officer … targeted and sought to cultivate a New Zealander with access to information and people networks of interest to the foreign state [and] almost certainly sought to obtain political, economic and national security intelligence through the relationship.”

On the threat from Iran, the agency said it had detected state actors “monitoring and providing reporting on Iranian communities and dissident groups”.

I mean, I have no doubt they got money for the contract to “develop” a new stealth bomber, but really they were just making arty shells, because Russia lacks the ability to produce stealth craft, despite their claims to the contrary.

Syldon , in UK could leave European convention on human rights to stop Channel migrant boats
@Syldon@lemmy.one avatar

This would cause such a shit storm that the Tories would never been seen as a credible option again. ECHR is embedded into the Good Friday Agreement. This would throw the whole process up in the air. That would antagonise not only the EU but the US also. They have been threatening this since Johnson. I could easily believe they are crazy enough to go through with it right at the end of their term. Labour would put us straight back in again.

Inews has done an article on just this. It looks like they want to finish off the job of smashing the country to pieces before they are kicked out.

acockworkorange ,

There’s widespread corruption in the organization. Think the mafia, but with less pizzazz. It could be well “file erasure”, competition elimination, or just plain vengeance behind all this.

The federal police (think FBI) do good work in general, but they’re a much smaller force.
