chinese students/translators and i have been collaborating with maurice (youth coordinator for events at vatican university) for a couple of years (the week pope francis visited usa and the un launched sustainability goals) on maximising positive student opportunities between italy, china and usa
In the attached listing of 20 ways to connect future of italy and china I have added what i learnt from your wonderful prodi events at peking university (this is an open document if anyone wants to edit pieces of it and can be a model for any country's youth concerned with maximising friendships with china) - the more of these we can distribute round washington DC the greater our hope that Trump will also decide China is the best friend any nation could linkin youth with
i will be back in beijing between may 10 and 16- do you have time to meet?- do you know others who might want to discuss the following?
students have been helping compile league table of most collaborative cities on radical education eg WISE @ Beijing and 2 Goal 11 -in UN jargon goal 11 is sustainable cities and communities - we work particularly with cities with deep contributions to girl empowerment - eg baltimore's networks around my great friend/mentor Rev Al Hathaway is since 1881 the number 1 social justice city in usa because 4 black girls from baltimore were the first to succeed with a legal case tapping the 13th amendment of end slavery;
SOCIAL JUSTICE AND GLOBAL YOUTH ENTERPRISE PARK
IN BALTIMORE we now have urgent opportunity to design up to 20 worldwide youth labs out of baltimore to connect youth exchanges -we seek ideas on what every pro-youth supercity like to linkin round these incubation hubs- some very tech driven matching jack ma, some very arts or linguistic driven maximising youth celebrations of each other, some sector driven by baltimore's 2 world class industries : health Hopkins, and Under Armor sporting apparel-
how can american youth help chinese youth and vice versa as the 2 nations with the most resources and how can we integrate franciscan networks as those with deepest girl empowerment value systems? how can we maximise timing china's g20 bridging such current leadership agreements as this between pope francis and world bank leader jim kim (probably the top american resident attending Belt Forum)
I have been to bangladesh 12 times where women and girls built the nation and i know the families - nobel laureate muhammad yunus, and sir fazle aded - actually it was fransciscan culture which inspired both grameen and brac
over the next 15 months we particularly want to maximise connections with latin cities before the g20 meets in argentina (this is the number 1 world stage for fransciscan youth and citizens to pitch solutions and their connections with Hangzhou Consensus ; on may 18 i also attend the kissinger briefed china american 100 summit- we are told by kissinger that the next 3 years are the most critical for keeping positive youth exchange going between china and usa- and we are told by brookings cheng li who is speaking at summer lectures of turin that a top priority of xi jinping is meeting pope francis
one of the things we do in baltimore is show one minute videos of student led projects and exchanges around the world- we'd love to make some featuring what I saw at Peking Uni and ThinkinChina
I think you met qin who helps me with translation and also setting up dairies
I am very interested to understand live how the Belt Summit goes- its quite hard to explain Belt to american students but i believe its absolutely critical to making the world a smaller place for small enterprises and youth to trade
In raising hope beyond the excesses of trump and the fear of BREXIT, attending events at Peking University was one of the happiest experiences I have had recently - thanks to everyone!

| Even as the 1960s moon race inspired the world, we need to understand how unequal the opporttunity to innovate had been - even in the 1960s as many as half the world's people had no access to electricity grids so they got their news of the moon race by word of mouth. Consider 1000-1500- until the last few years of this period , the known world was Europe-Asia and NE Africa; #BR8 the med sea was the main world trade waterway; places facing this sea increasingly developed win-win trades; moreover #BR7 the west asian border to med sea was the start of an amazing overland relay of traders which stretched all the way to china (the silk road was the greatest overland world trade route ever and to sustain its interfacing markets required positive cross-cultural bridging all along its route. Silks and spices from the Chinese end acted like a positive currency- there was much demand for them whose value naturally went up the further they were merchanted back to Europe. Everyone gained for this trading route- you can read marco polo's diaries- perhaps nowhere invested more in artistic celebrations of being a major hub of positive trade than his hometown venice in europe and the town he was asked to govern for 2 years in china Hangzhou which marco described as the great town of markets in the world.) What happened towards 1500 that 2 long shipping routes were discovered by north europeans- the new world of the ameriucas to the west (#BR6 N, #BR10 what we now call Latin America), and a way of reaching the @BR2 South Asian coastal Belt (starting with the indian subcontinent) by sailing around africa. A ship captain couldnt affird such a long return voyage unless he goit what trade he wanted- soon this big ships were equipped with gun power and crews were pressganged or even enslaved. Next in the process was colonising. So it was that nations became big by pludering economies of other peoples places. Back in 1500 places economic size was corelated with population. Soon Britain grew at the expense particularly of the Indian subcontiuent. Mainly Britain and France colonised Africa too, Spain andPotrtugal colonised Latin America. North America was settled by a mixyure of Europeans whose declaration of Indendence in 1776 ended any attempt by Britain to colonise America, But we should note that the USA was built on a sort of internal colonisation - natives had theor places taken over and slaves were used to do most of the hard labour. In effect the old war's colonial ways casued the 2 world wars of the fkirst half of the 20th C. From 1946 most of the world's countries regained their independence but starting from (mainly undeveloped states - poverty that the colonia era had gtraped them in). Ironically whule the UDA came to tghe resuce of the old workld and from 1946 helped relaunch the two biggest losers of world war 2 Germsny and Japan, american (not withstandiong thair family trees origins) had previously had little modern of knowledge of Eurasia but were pulled into peacekeeping and the cold war with russia through the sceond half of the 20th C. Whilst there was some understanding of the extraoerdinary progress japanese enginers made with electornics, civil and other enginnering, the rise and rise of the east and the often difficult bodrers that had been caused by British and Jpoanese colonisation of the region are not deeply studied by most Americans or their media. It should be the best news the world has ever seen that the fifth of the world in chjna tghat closed itself to the world for more than a centiry after Brfits has offered opium as a gtrading currency in 1860 is now as entrepreneurial as anywhere. With over half of tghe world's ;people facikng either the sout asia or east asia coastal belts, the opportunity the east is cfreating to win0pwin gtrade oin line with moore's ever increasing technology should make sustainable youth worlwdie the gfreatesty positive curency-invetsment the human race has ever mapped. But this is not how USA or the block of coungtriues ruled by the Euro have marketed transapfrently. Instead we are caught in the Keynsian crisis of economist not valuing the hippocratic oathes he had published as tghe final chapter of the ngeneral throy of employment money and interest. The 2020s are likely to make the system designs our tech spreads irreversible- will the end game be big brother extinction or little sister sustainability? |
