MY FAMILYS/FRIENDS PRIME QUESTION SINCE WORLD WAR 2 -eg debated for 50 years at The Economist
MAPPING POST COLONIAL WWW? Can we design education's communications tech and financial systems so trade goes from zero sum to win-win for all our children (girls and villages first as schumacher-keynes-franciscans-confucians prioritise) as the first sustainability generation
WE see in BRI a triangularisation of new designs:
BELT coastal Belts superports
ROADS-RAILS free (in)land locked routes for everyone/smallest to trade - straight line rails pipes (eg energy cable water...) so that villages and supercities connect, and borders are bridged
IMAGINE village world where sustainbility/security is audited/action networked by girls lift up half the sky ( Oxfam's ivory tower boards are not at all what paulo freire mapped or montessori practised)
We see 3Quarters of a century of the East benchmarking how worldwide youth can get to sustainability in time
In Q1 50-75 japan and korea electrical engineers invented win-win of quality electronic engineering/architecture, super-rails (both bullet and metro) and superports ; the usa took this into space while the east stayed much more grounded
china diaspora extended coastal belts superports ; by 1975 japan and china diaspora were 2nd and 3rd biggest economoies; in china and bangladesh famines had killed off over 10% of the 1960s population and infant girls were the biggest loser. Both started keynsian agrarian revolutions as well as valuing girls cultural ones - revaluing (mathematically integrating exponentials) villages and girls LIFTS UP HALF THE SKY
Both Q2 75--00 predigital ; Q3 00-25 have seen china and bangladesh miracles continue - china enjoyed fast track base of any inward investment it wanted from china diaspora; bangladesh has had next to nothing other than the stories of muhammad yunus the realities of brac and the most extraordinarily energised girls collaboration networks
Making sure brac's story is collaboratively understood is pivotal now- actually wars will lose the race to sustainability without it
AT WISE sheikha moza is asked by guterres to lead first ladies of refugees laerning summit to the UN - and before that Africa (through the president of Ghana and his co-chair of un eminents) is asked to cheer on new universities and after that Macron is asked to cheer on green girls education march 2019 two months before beijing next masterclass in belt road summit may 2019 -help co-edit more at EconomistDiary.com. Its a pity Jack Ma only does tech masterclasses not BRI ones. Thats's what Hangzjou G20 started to mobilise but Euro-German G20 kaput-ed.
AT NEW DEV BANKING MAPS ROUTES
Together China and Bangaldesh have about 15 border neighbours; ;looked at from china's view point it knows how to trade out of its eastern coastal belt but it has 4 major in-land route challenges : South West and South East which Bangladesh's coast is pivotal to but which is more broadly the whole Raj British Empire coastline where English language may yet help reconcile goals of Jinping and Theresa May if not German EU; and North West And North East which Russia and the arctic coast is pivotal to
Everything south can go very well now but only if we go as micro as understanding girls education and fintech solutions- so eg people who know brac should be at AIIB2018 mumbai and we should make sure that chinese super-educators know brac and can help connect everything sheikha moza and guterres want to do all through the lead BRI investment case of partnering china (going beyond the british colonial route) - connect asean bangladesh india pakistan united arab emirates suez facing nations med sea in win-win. It was this same oriental part of the world map that The Economist's founder Jmaes Wilson died for being sent yu queen victoiria to start turning raj economy out of calcutta into win-wins. Instead he died of darrhea and the opium wars closed down china (a fifth of the world;'s most civilised people from trading with the world until Q2)

Is there somewhere in beijing or shanghai we can meet in next 6 weeks if you know anyone who would find this view point worth exploring? BRI is abolsutely China's gameboard but if we can include brac in it then girls will have a much happier time and probably jack ma's loveq cant grow without this; and certainly moon jae-in's/Jeju's goals cant without loveq
