@grace.c.huang once had a sense of pride for what China 🇨🇳 had accomplished but not at the moment…
According to @wsj latest article on “How Bad is China’s Economy,” over 20 million young people in China are unemployed and disillusioned. With college degrees, they’re encouraged to suffer and consider factory work or farm jobs in the countryside. But many rather “lie flat” (躺平), meaning do nothing and not succumb to social work pressures.
Tough times… what would you do?

The Syrian refugee crisis, which is now in its 12th year, is one of the biggest mass migrations of our time.
From 2014 to 2018, I was able to meet and support Syrian refugees 🇸🇾 in Jordan 🇯🇴 . With each visit, the situation in Syria seemed to get worse, and the Syrians realized they wouldn’t be able to return to their beloved home country.
But I didn’t just want to feel sorry and hopeless for them, so I dug into my own cultural identity a bit deeper and realized how I could have another mentality 💡. And this isn’t just for Syrians who have fled their home country, but for refugees around the world 🌍

Is Taiwan 🇹🇼 a “country?”
Who knew defining a country could be so complicated? 😵💫
Apparently, what the dictionary defines as a “country” is not as simple as how the United Nations classifies one.
What do you think Taiwan 🇹🇼 is? 💭

What makes Taiwan so important?
Taiwan leads the world in producing the most advanced processors. The Taiwan Manufacturing Semiconductor Company (TSMC) is the world’s largest manufacturer and go-to producer for Apple’s microchips.
But in 2022, TMSC has announced its commitment to invest US$40 billion to build microchip facilities in Arizona, USA.
Trillion Dollar Question: If it were not for Taiwan’s microchip industry, would US defend Taiwan 🇹🇼 should China invade?
Grace C Huang can’t tell at this point- what do you think!

Being a mother is difficult, especially in Asia.
Low fertility rates are a good indicator, with Korea having the lowest in the world.
Meanwhile, the Chinese government's shifting population control measures have had the largest impact on women. Chinese women have used birth control for decades, and there is now a demographic and population problem.
Mothers are not merely the answer to socioeconomic problems; being a mother is so much more.
Hope this puts some perspective into your respect for mothers in our world.
Happy Mother's Day, everyone!

Banks need to be bailed out, the petrodollar is being challenged, and people are wondering... CAN THE US DOLLAR COLLAPSE??
While anything is possible, it is highly unlikely at this point.
Keep in mind, it would happen- if and only if- there is another currency that the vast majority of the world will use to replace the US dollar. So could it be gold or other metals? Could it be digital money like cryptocurrencies? Could it be another existing currency like the Chinese yuan?
Watch for what could or couldn’t yet replace the US dollar here, and read more from Forbes’ “Could the US Dollar Collapse?”

Some of the Forbes 30 under 30 entrepreneurs, like Charlie Javice and Sam Bankman-Fried, were charged with crimes related to how they ran their businesses.
The Guardian reported that the Forbes' "30 Under 30" is more than just a list; it's a way of thinking that pushes people to do ambitious, sometimes too ambitious, things before their youth is gone. Some people might even try to cut corners because of the pressure.
The main thing to remember is that there are a lot of entrepreneurs who started their businesses after 40 years old, who built lasting businesses, and left behind a legacy.
Don't look at a clock, look at a compass, because things happen—the economy may not be good, and you may need time to get better at something. What matters is going in the direction you want, no matter how long it takes.

The world was shocked when Russia 🇷🇺 invaded Ukraine 🇺🇦
A year later, China 🇨🇳 has positioned itself as a peacemaker, and now the original narrative is being challenged.
The Chinese government says that the US 🇺🇸 is to blame for instigating this war, and has not yet condemned Putin for his actions.
How is this misalignment of global powers 🇺🇸 🇨🇳 a step towards peace?

The PETRODOLLAR is a BIG reason the US should act like the World Leader in the Middle East, but it’s not….🤦🏻♀️
P.S. I like to get my news about the Middle East from the BBC

Oil is the most important commodity for Americans because of the petrodollar ⛽️ 💵
Because countries started trading oil in exchange for dollars since the 1970, the US dollar has become the world’s reserve currency.
Americans have indirectly benefited from this system that had largely supported US lifestyle and quality of life.
However, the petrodollar is now being tested by major players who do not want to pay USD in exchange for oil.
Stick around for Part 2 on what’s been happening, or not happening, between Saudi Arabia, US, and China.

A nationwide ban on TikTok would NOT be racist, IF it happens.
Dear Fellow Americans♥️,
You MUST know that things are tense between US-China right now, and that our US government has DUE PROCESS for an unprecedented ban on a social media app.
This is NOT because it’s racist, but because it is concerned about NATIONAL SECURITY, and the interest of the American people 🇺🇸
While this act would not be racist, we all need to careful to NOT be racist towards Asian Americans and Chinese people for the actions of the Chinese government.
Thank you, and please share if you agree 🙏🏼

Anyone else want that spinach 🍃 version of TikTok for their kids???
There’s so much I couldn’t say in 60 secs on HOW TikTok US might be affecting kids in America.
If anything I said piqued your interest, go check out 60 Minutes for in-depth coverage on TikTok US vs TikTok China (Duo yin). This is where @tristanharris talks about how TikTok China limits content for under 14-year-olds, and promotes educational, “spinach-like” content and other stuff that might blow your mind 🤯🤯🤯

Was Trump right about TikTok all along?
Why TikTok is a BIG PROBLEM for the US government | P.S. I’m not on TikTok so gotta follow my IG @grace.c.huang 💁🏻♀️
Unfortunately, this TikTok problem will only get worse if US-China relations don’t improve. In recent days…
🔻DOJ and FBI have started investigating TikTok for spying on journalists.
🔻US has banned TikTok on all government official devices, and countries like Taiwan, Canada, Australia, UK and Germany have followed suit.
🔻US is now considering a nationwide ban on TikTok unless Chinese owners divest.
🔻TikTok CEO will testify before Congress this week.
What questions do you have about #tiktok in the #usa? How do you think things will play out? ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
