"Chinese officials have long encouraged charitable giving — often referred to as “tertiary” distribution of income. “But until last week nobody read those documents. Now everybody is reading every word.”" ft.com/content/c89594… https://t.co/IGDLY9N85p
Following Xi’s speech on common prosperity and excessive wealth, tertiary distribution ii.e. large-scale charitable giving is a new buzzword in China. To get a sense of the discourse this editorial in @caixin_intel is absolutely excellent. Seriously. caixinglobal.com/2021-08-23/edi… https://t.co/gsfp5UYpCj

@MattDavis150 @pseudoerasmus @MishInvest @jasoncrawford @andrewchen So I wanted to thank @MattDavis150 for this kind tweet and it seems I may have thanked a bunch of other folks too. Hey ho 🙂
@yarbatman Whether or not we agree on Russia or China, for instance, we should be able to agree that sanctioning Afghanistan is indefensible.
