Wonder What China Is Thinking

As you've heard me say many times, China is the country to watch as this recovery unfolds.

Wonder what China thinks of the new Commerce Secretary nominee - Chinese-American former Governor of Washington Gary Locke?

Wonder what China thought of yesterday's speech from President Obama? Well, no official word, but here is some reporting from CNN. Worth the time to watch it.

Why "Reasoning the Reasons"?

Jamaicans love to engage in "reasoning".

Translation for all the non-Jamaicans: what that means is we are a culture of people - with strong individual opinions - who love to have discussions on everything - especially matters of global and social importance.

As a developing country, we feel the effects of decisions made by the developed countries - those richer and more powerful. Historically, we are given many "reasons" for their actions - actions that do not produce the results (more "reasons") they tell us to expect.

Therefore, we find ourselves trying to make sense of what appears sometimes to be nonsense. We find ourselves trying to figure out the methods behind the apparent madness. Most importantly, we find ourselves trying to "keep on keeping on" - otherwise known as survive. That is reasoning. And it is part and parcel of what makes us Jamaicans.

As Bob Marley said: "There is so much trouble in the world". How true. And we hear many "reasons". And we are given even more "reasons" for the solutions and that many more "reasons" for the failures of the solutions.

In true Jamaican style, this blog is just "reasoning the reasons".

I look forward, not back.

I do not blame, I analyze.

I observe, comment, and question.

And the objective? It's a better world for all people and generations to come.
