Artificial intelligence and other developing Artificial Intelligence like robotic and Quantum Computing are important for long term growth. A senior strategist gave us his highlights. I think that there are two things that really catch my attention. One is the governments emphasis on improving Co Ordination between governments, local governments and local governments and the central government. Now, not many people talk about this. But i think this is quite important, because if this Co Ordination programme or plan is implemented effectively, it will go a long way to improve Policy Implementation in china. Because very often, governments dont really talk to each other much, and that really slows down government implementations. This is very important for me. And the number two important thing is, as you mentioned earlier, that theres an emphasis on the development of ai Tech Development and so on. That goes a long way to underscore the Policy Framework that beijing wants to implement to develop the economy into a hi Tech Industry, hi tech new economy. Now, the structural rebalancing from heavy industry polluting industry to a Tech Industry is implemented effectively, it will go a long way to first increase productivity, because its the Hi Tech Element there, the ai element there. And secondly, to make the economy more efficient as compared to the old mode of debt, finance, investment or heavy investment orientated mode. Shifting to higher Tech Industries as you described it thats not a short term prospect, is it . That isnt going to help them in the short term with their gdp goals and Youth Unemployment in particular. How do you think theyll address those things . Certainly, this is a medium to long term goal, as you mentioned. In the short term, theres from a macropolicy perspective, theres only one thing that the government can do or has to do, and that is to increase Policy Easing from the macro monetary fiscal perspectives. Because this rebalancing towards a hi tech economy, changing the structure of the system, is what we call the Creative Destruction process, which is typically disinflationary or even deflationary. Because Old Industries are and new industries created. But the rate of destruction will be higher than the rate of creation. So the net impact on the economy is a drag on growth. So thats why macro policy comes in and it has to be at times when needed to be more aggressive in easing to protect growth so that the structural reform and the leveraging programmes can carry on. What is your outlook. More pain ahead before things improve . Economic pain as ahead but beijing can handle it if it starts with the assertive easing programme it started in recent months. We see a fair chance chinese growth and chinese as prices will go on to sustain the recovery, if not the economy will be stuck in the economy will be stuck in the doldrums and chinese asset prices might go down. China is also taking steps to attract Foreign Investors back to the country. Premier li also announced the government plans to relax restrictions on Foreign Investments including in areas like telecommunications and health care. That comes on top of previous announcements removing all restrictions on investing in the manufacturing sector. New Foreign Direct Investment in china fell to the lowest level in three years last year. John stein is chair of the American Chamber of commerce in china and says that the businesses are not entirely convinced by the announcements. The reason why the Business Community wasnt as enthusiastic as we might have hoped is that the announcement to liberalise manufacturing and those roles isnt what Web Businesses are looking for. The reason why Foreign Investment fell to the lowest number in a number of years is because of other issues. So the government knows what it needs to do if it wants to encourage investment. It needs to level the playing field. For example, china says that it is open to things that are made in china. But often made in china means made in china by a Chinese Company, Orsometimes Made In China by a Chinese Company in the province or the area where the item is being purchased. We also see that the government announced last august a very ambitious slate of reforms that would have gone a long way to help reassure the foreign Business Community that theyre welcome, that their investments will be protected, and that theyll have a level playing field. And so, really where the Business Community is, is theyre looking for implementation as opposed to promises. So promises and Policy Pronouncements arent going to move markets. They arent going to convince boards to invest. They need to see tangible action on the ground. So thats what the Business Community is still waiting for. Japans economy has entered a recession. The upward revision comes amid growing Market Expectations the Bank Of Japan could ditch its negative Interest Rates as early as this month stop switzerland, norway, iceland and liechtenstein, are set to invest 100 billion in india over 15 years. In turn, india Will Lift Tariffs on Industrial Products from the four european states. The deal still needs to be ratified by the four countries before it takes effect. Over the last two years, india has signed trade pacts with australia and the united arab emirates. While Officials Say another with britain is in its final stages. Now, lets turn to the middle east now where hopes for a ceasefire in gaza during the islamic holy month of ramadan have faded after Mediation Talks In Cairo proved unsuccessful so far. Thats raising concerns that the attacks on commercial ships In The Red Sea will increase. These attacks have been carried out by houthis who are based in yemen. A former Us Ambassador to yemen gave us his take to the impact of the stalled talks. Whats going to happen is the threat of greater violence and perhaps even more widespread violence is going to increase because of the failure to get to a ceasefire yet. So there are several issues that were contingent on getting this ceasefire. One, of course, is the increased flow of humanitarian assistance, which is even more important during ramadan than it is at normal times of the year. And then, also, of course, we have the outstanding israeli threat of going to rafah if there was not a Ceasefire Agreement that was going to lead to increased release of hostages. And then beyond that, of course, we have the normal kinds of greater tensions in the west bank and injerusalem for the month of ramadan and were going to have to grapple with that as well as both israels northern border with lebanon. And In The Red Sea. And just speaking of commercial shipping In The Red Sea and the gulf of aden, we saw the first deaths on commercial ships last week caused by houthi militants that are based in yemen and supporting palestinians. Do you think well see more seeing as a ceasefire hasnt materialised . Well, i think that certainly, the houthis are going to continue with their efforts to attack shipping in the gulf of aden, the red sea. Hopefully they will be unsuccessful and were seeing, of course, greater co operation among the us and its allies and partners to try to safeguard international shipping. But as we saw last week, they cant be ioo successful. So the threat is certainly there. That was a former ambassador to yemen giving us his impact on the impact of stalled talks.
