The China We Never Knew Existed

The best news aggregator is Here Comes China.

Here Comes China is an exceptional newsletter offering a free trial (which I’m on because I’m penniless). If you click on the link, you’ll be fascinated. It’s the stuff that’s happening that our newspapers don’t tell us about e.g.

• A 3200km sleeper car train ride for $87 (R1600).

• China bonds are outperforming US Treasuries.

• China's sovereign wealth funds collectively managed more than $2 trillion in assets at the end of 2019 [and almost $16 trillion 2023].

• The Central American Parliament (6 countries) expelled Taiwan after more than two decades as a permanent observer, and replaced it with China.
