Message to the US China trade team


Basic comment on the China deal.  My message to the Trade Team.  “Do what you can, BUT accept what cannot be done.” 

Probable facts. 1. China has already stolen enough technology and materials to sustain them for at least ten years.  They need no more now, but cannot give up their practices if only to save face. 2. China will continue to hack.  3. China will continue to promote their information hegemony worldwide, and military hegemony in the Pacific.

China’s military development in the the South China Sea.  What can you do except get promises?  Here you can exert tariff policies if it continues.  This is measurable!

China’s space explorations and militarization.  These will continue regardless. This is not measurable!

Trade deal.  Negotiate a move toward a fiscal quid pro quo over the next six/seven years. This is measurable!

China’s foreign corporate ownership (in China).  This should be a non negotiable part of a trade agreement.  China is bending on this.  Pursue it further, applying Vaseline as needed. This is measurable!

China and Huawei.  The US is correctly pursuing a policy by making the world aware of how China is stealing information.  Awareness is the first step of prevention. Increase all efforts here. Put it to Huawei to prove they are NOT co-opting data.  This is measurable! 

Tagline: The Internet is the roadway of the most dangerous “fifth column” invasion of our time. 

China will hack, i.e. cheat. Even if they promise not to hack, they will.  If necessary, they will move their operations to a client country such as NOKO.  It is up to the USA to prevent this here at home. Thus…
The USA, using the NSF, should approve protocols for securing personal data for corporations (including the US govt) that hold it.  Software should be available at nominal cost, and with Congress require/demand personal information holding companies to comply.  Many simple methods such as two-factor authentication work well. Corporate sales of personal information should be tightly regulated.

Bottom lines: 1. Secure US corporate ownership of US firms in China. 2. Stop the hacking by preventing it – at home.   3. China’s military hegemony is a public matter to be exposed and expressed to the world.   4. China’s suborning of the world’s information pool should be stopped. World pressure works. 5. Form a graduated balance for a lasting trade policy. The world will offer thanks.

UNCERTAINTY IS CERTAIN

  Uncertainty is Certain G. Donald Allen 12/12/2024 1.       Introduction . This short essay is about uncertainty in people from both secular and nonsecular viewpoints. One point that will emerge is that randomly based uncertainty can be a driver for religious structure. Many groups facing uncertainty about their future are deeply religious or rely on faith as a source of comfort, resilience, and guidance. The intersection of uncertainty and religiosity often stems from the human need to find meaning, hope, and stability in the face of unpredictable or challenging circumstances. We first take up the connections of uncertainty to religion for the first real profession, farming, noting that hunting has many similar uncertainties. Below are groups that commonly lean on religious beliefs amidst uncertainty.   This short essay is a follow-up to a previous piece on certainty (https://used-ideas.blogspot.com/2024/12/certainty-is-also-emotion.html).

Problem Solving? Then Find Those Gaps

  Problem Solving - Finding Gaps 12/28/2024 Introduction. Solving complex problems often arises from the presence of gaps in knowledge, resources, understanding, or perspectives. These gaps introduce uncertainty, ambiguity, or constraints, making solutions difficult to achieve. Below, we explore the primary types of gaps that complicate problem-solving and their implications. Many are of the technical, informational, theoretical, and social nature. You may discover some of these gaps are also sources of uncertainty in problem-solving, in that they supply us with another list of things that can go wrong based on something missing. Gaps also form a type of impossible problem, that will be discussed in a later chapter. Finally, this essay is about all problems and solutions, not just those of science. Contents Comprehension Gaps Consistency Gaps Solution-Type Gaps Invisible Gaps   Knowledge and Evidence Gaps   Methodological and Technological Gaps Ethical and Cult...

CERTAINTY IS ALSO AN EMOTION

  Certainty is also a Feeling Certainty is often viewed as a mental state tied to knowledge and confidence, but it also functions as a feeling with distinct emotional and physiological components. While it arises from cognitive processes, certainty also has a subjective and emotional quality that makes it more than just a rational judgment. It provides a sense of assurance and security that shapes human experience in profound ways. Emotional Dimension . At its core, certainty evokes emotions that influence how we perceive and interact with the world. When someone feels certain, they often experience relief, comfort, or empowerment. These emotions are particularly strong when uncertainty or doubt is resolved, offering a sense of closure. For example, solving a complex problem or having a belief validated by evidence brings not just intellectual satisfaction but also emotional reassurance. Subjectivity. Certainty is inherently personal and subjective. It depends on individual...
