every op ed piece was about jap, japan style of management, and manufacturing was going to eclipse the u. s. it was a foregone conclusion. that what they did actually the internet, japan, because it's conformist society, they did not have the intellectual capacity to develop all the creativity we saw on the internet and that whole story died. as a matter of fact, the stock market peak, the property bubble blew up, and they've been in 20 years in recession. but with china is it, can you make a parallel here? because here you have big coin is the new internet internet on steroids, and it's powering revolution across the monetary networks of the world. and everything is being built on the bitcoin is, are we going to see a replay of this 980 s u. s. japan story, china, and i remember those days that you're paying, i still, you know, i had a sony walkman and so, you know, what happened with china though is 20 times the size of japan. that's the difference and they're far above us technically. so i don't think they'll fade off as quickly as like say, a japan regarding the big queen mining. i have

u. s. japan story china. and i remember those days that you're paying, i still, you know, i had a sony walkman and so, you know, what happened with china though is 20 times the size of japan. that's the difference. and they're far above us technically. so i don't think they'll fade off as quickly as like say, a japan regarding the big queen mining. i have said today we're at a trillion dollar asset for big coin when it's 10 trillion dollars. i think the chinese may wake up and go, ok, we get to get back in this market. they still control the equipment manufacturing, but they have band mining and holding bitcoin because they want to pump out the digital r b. they want full control. so we're, we're really the world's going to go between full control and decentralization like what bitcoin is, the network. so i, i believe at some point we'll beat it won't be a year, might not be 2 years. but at some point, they'll probably make a reversal and say ok, this is a 10 trillion dollar global asset. it's, you know, it's

u. s. japan e u members and the u. k. have all imposed travel restrictions in an effort to slow the spread of omicron. but as the world knows, all. busy too well, the virus recognizes no borders. rob reynolds al jazeera, los angeles, and worry, talons easing, london with more in the curve in 19 said across europe. arm occur on his spooking europe with the delta variance, the continent is already the global epicenter of the kobe pandemic. again, lead is worried what extra was the new variance may bring. despite hastily enforced travel restrictions, so sama considering new policies like legally mandating citizens to get vaccinated . i think it is understandable and appropriate to lead this discussion. now, how we can encourage and potentially think about mandatory vaccination within the european union. this needs discussion. a 3rd of your citizens, a 150000000 people remain on vaccinated to many police on the land in order. what science tells us already is that full vaccination and boosters provide the strongest protection

u. s. japan e u members and the u. k. have all imposed travel restrictions in an effort to slow the spread of omicron, but as the world knows all too well, the virus recognizes no borders. rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles, the women's tennis is, i see, and she has suspended all of its tournaments in china. it says the decision was made due to concerns about the safety of former devils world at number one punch. why? she is. she accused a politician of sexual assault that me to a head said plays and staff could face risks in china. yeah, cha wong is a senior research at human rights watch. she's applauding the decision. so much respect because this is what standing up for human rights in china. looks like this is what integrity looks like. this is what leadership looks like. i mean, we saw the video clips and pictures of her mining, but we have not heard from her directly. she has not talked to her friends, not ok. press conference. she has not spoken directly. so i would say, you know, she's alive. she lives in beijing

u. s. japan, israel, and now many other countries as well. and then came the reaction and it was fast. borders was suddenly closed off to passenger travel from southern african countries, which brought a lot anger, especially as south africa fell to the on the right thing in alerting the well to the new very to the 1st place. oil prices fell more than 10 percent as soon as the variant was detected, stock markets took a hit to and are expected to face. the weakness of uncertainty is invested closely . watch for updates on, on, maker on. so what comes next, largely depends on what scientists discover and how quickly they do so. so what all this means is that we're back into the realms of one step forward to step back. in fact, we arguably already were before me, con, emerge, consumer demand was rising, it was good. economies reopened, people will back out shopping regularly, particularly with the end of the holidays approaching. but keeping up with that demand was already a problem. there were a lot of backlogs in the global supply chain and co

the export curves that began to years ago by japan on some of the crucial components of semiconductor production. again, south korea really reveals that the u. s. and japan are hoping to benefit from this disk with a couple of process. and there is a g geo political dynamic in this because either you belong in this supply chain or you don't. so that will accelerate the geopolitical divide into the coming years. and the export curves are not ended. the hallway band is still in place. we'll have to see, not just the economic dimensions of this, but the geopolitical dimensions as well. june teufel, dryer, of course said june parker was talking about the acceleration of the geopolitical divide. and that leads me to something i wanted to ask you, which is could this race to make up for the shortfall ignite political tensions? i'm not sure of because he, a chinese government of course is the, is the, the reason for most of these political tensions, things were going fine until the chinese began is to use computer chips and rare earth and all kinds of things as economic weapons. so i think there or did they, did geo political tensions are, are alread

u. s. dollar lead global hegemony. they don't like for people or for countries to have excess saving the opec countries they, they would send their earnings by buying u. s. u s. bonds, or when japan had it savings before the plaza or spend all the money? oh, real estate. when like rockefeller center, they lost the $1000000000.00 or across the stove or so. so the question that they don't want other countries, they have savings that are not under the us control. they don't on other countries to be independent. and part of that dollar had gemini and keeping the us dollar as world reserve currency and control over various global economies. as the ability to inflate that dollar supply, correct, you can just printed a what's trying to like, there's no limit how many dollars. and the important thing is that you can print out, isn't it for free? if you buy gold, you actually have to produce something. they get the revenue to spend on the goal because the united states can simply print the dollars either and paper or electronically, essentially by foreign resources or by imports or spend on monetary operations. so a moment ago, when i mentioned that, that big claim community has embraced
