sam: that is the big question, isn't it? i think there is -- the party genuinely, from a very technical point of view, they do take financial risk extremely seriously. the political system there is very different to what we see in other market systems. but they are constantly tinkering with their rules and regulations to make sure there is no systemic risks, to make sure the average individual and investor can be made as whole as possible. level, theyome could say look, things are a little out of control and we are trying to balance them. as you say, for investors and just for the market, china has arguably been the most entrepreneurial economy in the world in that when he first century. it creates millionaires and billionaires at a very rack -- very rapid clip. jack ma is an extremely famous popular person in china. i think they have to walk a fine line between saying, whenever the underlying political reasons let may be in the background, but just to the world and to the markets, to say we are trying to control things with

sam: we are very dependent.o back to the pandemic when all of a sudden we couldn't get ppe and those sorts of things. there is total dependency on the supply chain. that is not a bad thing, but whether -- what it requires is the government establish standards just like a company would. if you are going to be a provider of services, whether it is software, whatever it happens to be, you have to comply. there was a standard that was established by the commerce department that we worked on years ago that is a very good standard to secure the infrastructure. what we did in my think tank, we think of the cyber readiness incident, we thought that people were not going to focus on these very small businesses so we traded a whole set of tools. we are a nonprofit, so we can do these kinds of things. we have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. even small spots of three and four employees to give them the basic level of protection when it comes to cyber threats. the point of it, the why are we doing this, if your general

yousef: furthermore, sam fazeli r more, sam fazeli joins us.it likely to expand given the current list we are familiar with? sam: yes, good morning. it is possible that it will expand. one interesting element that has been added in the u.k. is the hypothesis, and i have to stress that all of these are hypothesis until saudi data backs them, that the -- solid data backs them, that the rapid increase three we are seeing in the u.k. may be driven by youngsters, adolescents catching the virus and even younger people. because the virus has found a way to be more efficacious in getting into your cells, and those age bands are less susceptible normally, it seems to be that that might be what opposede rapid rise, as to people like me being more susceptible to the virus. if that is the case, it obviously impacts massively how we think about schools and opening of schools everywhere, especially the u.k. ousef: the indications are that this vaccine, or vaccines in general, are meant to be continue to be effective with this variant. there is no hard eviden

sam: safety teller ability, let's put it that way. tolerability is a little worse than the pfizer vaccine. i don't care. i will take either of them. then you got this bell's palsy thing that is rearing its ugly head again a little bit. these are mostly side effects which only three patients had in the vaccine group versus one in the placebo. they do resolve, but it is something that i think the fda is now saying we will survey. efficacy wise, it is pretty much as good as the pfizer vaccine. you could say maybe it doesn't work as well in the elderly, but i'm not going to go there. these are very effective vaccines. sam, always a pleasure. thank you for updating us and educating us on what is happening here. to get as now perspective on all of this, karen ward, j.p. morgan asset emea chief market strategist. every survey i read of market sentiment, everybody is bulled up. joe biden is going to be the president. we've got vaccines coming through. there is still stimulus from the ecb. there's a lot of good news in there. my question is, w
