Australia-China Trade War - Deeper Globalism. Its rapid development had brought Australia to be the country with the highest average wealth per person in 2018, overtaking Switzerland.
Australia’s outstanding growth has been achieved also thanks to the rise of China as an economic superpower and its need of raw materials and minerals. China, by far the world’s largest manufacturer of goods, is hungry for minerals and found Australia, a country extremely rich in natural resources such as iron, gold, uranium and many more to be a perfect business partner to satisfy China’s needs.
Economic partnership between China and Australia is not limited just to minerals. Agricultural and livestock exports from Australia also play an important role. While a large portion of these exports include cattle and sheep, exports of wheat and barley have also grown steadily over the years. Philippines pushes deals with Chinese State-owned enterprise blacklisted by the United States - Deeper Globalism.

Last April, the Government of Australia called for an international investigation to determine the responsibility of China in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic.
As a result, the Chinese Government has retaliated implementing trade sanctions on few Australian agricultural and livestock products such as beef, barley, and so on. Will you board a plane which goes to... nowhere? - Deeper Globalism. We are not pulling your leg and we are not about to come up with a brand new conspiracy theory.
It is all real. On October 10, 2020 there will be a flight operated by Qantas to depart Sydney and come back to… Sydney. The plane will not be allowed to stop anywhere in the middle of this weird Sydney to Sydney flight. However, the 134 passengers on board of this Boeing 787 aircraft will enjoy the amazing landscapes of Australia.

Ren Zhiqiang sentenced to 18 years in prison - Deeper Globalism. “I saw not an emperor standing there exhibiting his ‘new clothes,’ but a clown who stripped off his clothes and insisted on continuing being an emperor,”.
Those are the words used by Ren Zhiqiang last 23 February when the billionaire openly challenged President Xi Jinping for the way the President has handled the coronavirus pandemic, especially in the early stages when he clumsily tried to hide the true extent of the disaster in China. Zhiqiang is the son of a real estate developer close to the Communist Party and formerly part of the so-called “red nobility” that supports the same party, yet he is a voice out of the chorus that has made itself known as “the Cannon”. Last April 2020, Ren Zhiqiang went missing for few days before the announcement of the Chinese authorities which confirmed that Zhiqiang was held in custody. The last blow against President Xi Jinping cost him dearly.

The ethnic Armenians did not accept this decision. In 1988, the Nagorno-Karabakh legislature voted to join the Armenian Republic. After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Yerevan-backed Armenian separatists seized the territory, home to a significant Azerbaijani minority, as well as seven adjacent Azerbaijani districts.

Something to say about The Philippines and Facebook - Deeper Globalism. In the Duterte’s speech, the President has simply made clear that nobody can replace the Government as a final speaker to Filipino people.
In other words, it was clear that the message from the President to Facebook was there is no highest authority in Manila that the democratically elected Government of the Philippines to implement or to communicate what we are planning to do. However, the point of this brief article is not to defend the President Duterte. He has shown during his mandate to be a smart and genuine leader and capable of defending himself much better that what we can do. In addition, we do not want to teach Facebook how to control posts, images, contents online. They have much better tools and artificial intelligence means as well as thousands of people deployed for this scope. The point of this article is to highlight how people are on sale for likes, comments or other virtual reactions. Dr. Abdullah Abdullah’s visit to Pakistan may set tone for peace - Deeper Globalism.
