China Reopening Helps World Economy
China's commitment to greater opening-up in the government work report delivered at the annual "two sessions" will serve as a catalyst for global recovery, experts have said.
Attending the opening meeting of the fourth session of the 13th National People's Congress on Friday in Beijing, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang presented the government work report on behalf of the State Council to the legislature for deliberation.
Commenting on the report, Yu Xiong, a professor at the Surrey Business School of the University of Surrey in Britain, said China's openness has a significant impact on the world, which can greatly support the recovery of the world economy as the ongoing pandemic continues to weigh on growth.
"This can bring new hope and confidence to the world," he said.
"During the pandemic, many countries could not easily recover by themselves," the professor said, stressing that the growth engines provided by other countries were vital for them to respond to the crisis during and after the pandemic.
"Foreign investors can thus expect to see significant opportunities emerging from a more open, impartial and innovative China in the coming years," he said, adding that the opportunities are not just for China, but also for the whole world.
"In a world now still struggling with economic and pandemic crises, China's hard-fought victory over COVID-19, its reviving economic growth, its commitment to greater openness and international cooperation are positive catalysts for global recovery," said Wilson Lee Flores, a columnist for the English-language daily The Philippine Star.
Hussein Ismail, deputy editor-in-chief of the Arabic version of China Today magazine and an Egyptian expert on Chinese affairs, noted that the Belt and Road Initiative will benefit citizens of all participating countries.
As China pledged to ensure the success of key exhibitions including the China International Import Expo, the China Import and Export Fair, and the China International Fair for Trade in Services, the government work report "reaffirms China's commitment to globalization and multilateralism," said Cavince Adhere, a China-Africa relations expert based in Kenya.
By prioritizing the development of new business models such as international e-commerce, China will make more robust cross-border trade possible, creating opportunities across the world, he said.
"This will further contribute to global economic recovery, poverty reduction and actualization of other development goals as codified in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals," the Kenyan expert said.
KXCO is Enhanced Intelligence, Not Artificial
I never wanted artificial intelligence. I wanted enhanced intelligence, and they are not the same product. Artificial means the machine does the thinking and hands you the answer. Enhanced means I do the thinking, with more of my own mind in the room than I have ever had at one time. Forty years of reading, recallable in the second I need it. Patterns across law, credit, physics and markets that no specialist sees, because the useful ones sit between the fields rather than inside them.
The AI Safety Argument Is Being Held in the Wrong Room
The people who will be blamed for what AI does are not in the room where its safety is argued. A jailbreak escapes a policy. The failure that costs money is an action that escapes an owner, a payment sent or a record altered. Tokens are not authority. Intelligence got cheap and judgment did not, and there is no organ of standing you can copy into a model. Shayne Heffernan on the objection worth taking seriously, and the questions to take into a vendor meeting.
NIST Graded Our Post-Quantum Cryptography. Zero Failures.
NIST's Algorithm Validation Test System generated test vectors nobody had seen, we answered them over the ACVP protocol, and NIST graded the result: 2,130 cases across ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA in every parameter set offered, zero failures, demo certificate A11025. This is what that proves, where we deliberately drew the claim narrower than NIST's own matrix, and why the FIPS 140-2 sunset on 21 September makes the distinction between being graded and grading yourself worth understanding.
The Problem Is Not the Problem
People treat the Jack Sparrow line as a joke. The attribution is a joke. The sentence is not. Forty years in markets says the same thing Epictetus said in 125 CE and Robert Merton named in 1948: the event is finite, and the story you appoint to govern it is not. This essay walks the quote back to its actual sources, draws the loop that turns a feeling into an order, and sets out the four places a rule written in advance cuts the loop. Faith is not a hedge. It is a stance.
