The Ukraine crisis has forced Russian companies to
seriously consider working with Chinese industry. Both state-owned and
private Russian industrial enterprises have begun searching for
potential Chinese partners that could compensate for the negative
consequences of breaking ties with Europe. The initial results are
encouraging.

What does it take to address the current
crises of our time at the level of the source (as opposed to the level
of the symptoms)? What it takes, we believe, is a journey--a journey on
which the social field shifts from ego-system awareness (silo view) to
eco-system awareness (seeing from the whole).

I was born, raised, educated, primed and prepped in
Los Angeles. But behind my fluent English, my American brain, my
citizenship, my philosophies, my outlook on life... is a child who was
raised by the Taiwanese. I am my parents' daughter and Chinese culture
runs through my blood. Always.

Even if USA and their allies have
declared war on IS there is an additional tactic in dealing with the
problem that has been overlooked: the mobilization of a carefully
planned and generously supported social response as the first line of
defense.
No matter how often Washington remixes its Global War
on Terror, however, the tectonic plates of Eurasian geopolitics
continue to shift, and they're not going to stop just because American
elites refuse to accept that their historically brief "unipolar moment"
is on the wane.

Japan's new law fails the international standards on many fronts and completely disregards the Japanese citizen's right to know.

Sen. Mitch McConnell is one of the
strongest supporters of free trade and closer ties with China. It would
be easy to blame McConnell's wife for his pro-China stance. But it would
be wrong.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rock-star
love-fest with the American Indian diaspora at Madison Square Garden
last week was hardly a policy address -- Modi's theme was India's
potential greatness and his vision of how to enable it.

The stem-cell disgrace of Korean cloning fraudster Hwang Woo-suk has now inspired a movie.
Whistle Blower
opened in Korea this week. Names have been changed, and it's presented
as fiction, but no one is even pretending it's not about the scientific
"scandal of the century" that unfolded between 2004 and 2006.

Now is a defining moment of leadership
between the U.S. and India. Any strategic partnership must include
engagements on public health in order to fulfill the extraordinary
promise of the world´s two largest democracies.

This is an important moment in history. The Hong Kong
protesters must stand their ground. This is not 1989, nor is it
Tiananmen Square. The people of Hong Kong represent the future of China
-- not the other way around.

In Hong Kong, they may be protesting with umbrellas,
but in Taiwan earlier this year, it was sunflowers. Hong Kong's
protesters know as well as PRC policymakers that Taiwan is still
watching very closely, and Beijing's wrong-footed response in Hong Kong
today could halt Ma's push for greater Taiwanese cooperation.

Today's world is going in circles
seeking the antidote of growing their countries' economies, not
realizing this very fact, which is also the reason why certain countries
cannot produce multinational corporations. Politicians are not the
solution, they are rather part of the challenge.
Today, the Earth got a little hotter, and a little more crowded.
