I have recently perused Nicholas Kristof’s NYT piece “China’s Man in Washington, Named Trump”(https://nyti.ms/3h2JXh8). One paragraph in particular caught my attention: “A joke in China suggests that Trump’s Chinese name is Chuan Jianguo, or “Build-the-Country Trump.” That’s because Build-the-Country is a common revolutionary name among Communist patriots, and it’s mockingly suggested that Trump’s misrule of the United States is actually bolstering Xi’s regime.”

Kristoff also avows that since Trump’s ascension to presidency, the American nation became highly polarized. This is reflected in the current administration’s policies on climate change, foreign relations with established U.S. allies, and COVID-19 prevention, all of which are rather ineffective. It also seems like Mr. Trump and his team diverged from the traditional priorities, including promoting free trade, human rights, and other quintessentially American values. As described thoroughly by John Bolton, all these factors contributed to the declining standing of the U.S. in global politics.

What is more, many people fall prey to CCP’s propaganda and its interpretations of Trump’s actions, which only enhances China’s reputation.

But that might not exactly be the case.

The CCP apparently failed to utilize the window of opportunity created by the ineptness of the Trump administration, as China could have grown to the position of a leader by filling in the void left by the U.S.

During the 2016 APEC Ministerial Meeting in Lima, Peru, Xi Jinping and his team actively supported the plans to establish the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and a Free Trade Area of the Asia Pacific, or FTAAP. In contrast, the United States withdrew its signature from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) in early 2017. Coupled with China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the establishment of the Asian Infrastructure and Investment Bank (AIIB), this move bolstered China’s capacity to influence global investments and trade, high-tech mergers and acquisitions, and, overall, expand its geostrategic influence on the entire globe.

At the same time, various propaganda films about great power competition, military industry, and science and technology surged all at once, and gained remarkable following around the world.

All this provided a window of opportunity for the CCP to slowly change its course. Around the same time, the distrust for POTUS among U.S. allies’ reached its apex. According to polls conducted by the Pew Research Center, the distrust for the U.S. president in the U.K. reached 75%, 72% in Japan, 70% in Australia, and stunning 86% in France.

Had the C.C.P,. begun to open up at that time, or at least resumed the governance style of the Hu-Wen administration, it could have reaped the benefits of promoting liberalism where the U.S. failed to deliver. It was the time for Beijing to gradually enhance freedom of speech domestically, pursue sustainable infrastructural projects, gradually reform unfair barriers to trade, transform its S.O.E.s, strengthen protections for private ownership, and vitalize its start-ups and enterprises.

Moreover, were China to cease the genocide in East Turkestan and refrain from cracking down on Hong Kong's semi-autonomy, it would have greatly enhanced its global international image. Additionally, if paired with slow but steady reforms, Beijing’s respect for sovereignty of its peoples would have attracted a large amount of foreign investment, which in turn would have continued to buttress the country’s growth.

It is China prerogative to remain idle.
It might still be possible for Chinese “Dream” to come true.
Yet, a historic window of opportunity is now closed.

Xi assumed the tools of proscribing and stalling, which are completely antithetical to the aforementioned window of opportunity.

Today, China is more authoritarian, less flexible, and fully deprived of horizontal accountability. Its reliance on wolf warrior diplomacy backfired: for example, the Swedish parliament sought to expel the Chinese ambassador to Stockholm. Also, Prague, the capital of Czechia, terminated its sister-city agreement with Shanghai and instead signed a new one with Taipei. Last but not least, we ought not to forget about the recent fiasco in the relations with the United States who ordered the shutdown of China’s consulate in Houston. All of this took its toll on China’s reputation.

Its international standing and inability to replace the U.S. as the major global power are not the only issues China is currently facing.
As it experiences multiple domestic and international shocks, China struggles to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and tame the disastrous floods of Yangtze River. The swarm of locusts of biblical proportions is also crippling Beijing’s institutional capacity and may soon lead to food shortages. In fact, the precarity of food supply further diminishes the level of trust for Chinese authorities.

In 2019, the Pew Research Center conducted a public opinion survey to examine the international views of China. In the U.S., Argentina, the U.K., Canada, Germany, and Ukraine, only about 30% of respondents claim a favorable view of China.

As the COVID-19 pandemic rages in the U.S., as many as 73% of U.S. respondents view China unfavorably.

Recently, the C.C.P. is losing its focus by continuously shifting targets. In fact, I believe there is no need for the C.C.P.to rely on nationalistic appeals, since in this new century values, business relations, and fair competition are all far more important than greater than delusive blood ties.
China lies only 130 kilometers away from us. Of course, we welcome dialogue and seek to avoid misjudgments. But we also distinguish between the C.C.P. and China. While we do welcome dialogue, but we will not be coerced to talk under unjust preconditions or in fear.

The only fair prerequisites are those of reciprocity, mutual respect as well as fairness and openness with respect for the rule of law.

最近看到紐約時報中文版的一篇文章
<美國的川普，中國的「川建國」>，其中一小段是這樣的

「在中國，人們戲稱川普的中文名字是川建國。那是因為建國是共產黨愛國者中一個普遍的革命人名。它在諷刺地暗示川普對美國的治理不當實際上是在鞏固習近平的政權。」

裡面也提到，川普在任的幾年，國家更分裂，對於氣候變遷，傳統美國盟友，乃至於疫情處理等都相當拙劣，對於美國傳統的自由貿易、人權等價值也基本上都沒有太大興趣。這些方針，導致美國在世界的評價降低，波頓的新書也多有描述。

除此之外，許多不幸相信中共宣傳，又或者是中共圈養的小粉紅，特別故意愛宣傳川普增強中國的威望。

但這不是真的。

中共完全沒有掌握美國做得不夠好的地方，去增強其在世界的領導力。

在2016年時，秘魯的亞太峰會舉行期間，習近平政權爭取（RCEP）及亞太自由貿易區（FTAAP）談判；對比2017年初，美國剛宣布退出ＴＰＰ，加上中國到「一帶一路」和亞洲基礎設施投資銀行，中國當時在世界全面發揮投資貿易、高科技併購還有其地緣戰略的影響力。

也是那個時候，各種的大國崛起、大國軍工、大國科技的宣傳影片此起彼落，似乎正準備要在世界舞台發光發熱。

這曾經是中共慢慢轉向的一個機會之窗。彼時（2017)美國盟友對美國總統的不信任度達到歷史新高，根據皮尤研究中心的資訊，英國對於美國總統的不信任度達到75%、日本72% 澳洲70% 法國更高達86%

如果那時中共開始有限度的改革，對內放寬言論自由，或者至少維持在胡溫當時的水中，對外追求有責任的基礎建設，逐步緩慢減低不公平的貿易壁壘，對於國有企業改革，增強私營企業、新創企業的活力。

停止對新疆迫害，不干預香港自治，不僅國際形象會大幅改善，哪怕是緩慢但是穩健的改革，也會讓大量吸引外資，讓中國的活力持續前進。

哪怕是什麼都不做也好

那或許有這麽一點可能性，中國「夢」是可以前行的

但是歷史機緣的大門已經關上。

習、禁、停、放棄了這個機會之窗，徹底的走向相反的方向。

更專制、更沒有彈性，更沒有任何制衡的力量。各種戰狼外交，讓瑞典議員提案驅逐中國大使，捷克布拉格市長與台北簽訂姊妹是，就解散上海與該市關係、被美國關閉領事館、各種讓中國形象低下的事情，中共都沒有少做。

中共不但完全沒有辦法取代美國，在多重國內外的衝擊之下，又是瘟疫，又是超大水患，緊接著蝗害，還有進來的糧食不足問題，正在面臨巨大的瓶頸。

而糧食的命脈，卻恰恰又在對他最不信任，對中共價值最反對的國家聯盟

根據皮尤研究中心:Pew Research Center2019調查各國對中國的喜好度，美國、阿根廷、英國、加拿大、德國、烏克蘭等，對於中國的喜好度都在30%上下

而2020疫情後美國對於中國的不信任度，更高達73%。

最近中共在演習，又要玩轉移目標的手段，對於中共，其實不必再有民族主義的同情，因為新的世紀，價值、商業模式、公平競爭的制度大於血緣幻想。

中國離我們只有130公里的距離，我們當然歡迎對話，避免誤判。但我們同時也區分中共與中國，歡迎對話，但不在前提、條件、恐懼之下對話。

如果真的要有前提，那就是對等、尊重，還有公平公開法治的方式會晤。

問：是否可視之為中大校方與學生割蓆？

—我是分隔線—

【香港中文大學聲明】

對於中大校園昨日 (11月12日)發生的連串衝突、暴力及違法行為，大學深表遺憾，並予以強烈譴責。儘管校長及高層人員屢次嘗試作出調停及談判，最終都因雙方持續對峙而不果。在對峙及衝突過程中，在場人士持續投擲汽油彈及攻擊物品等，警方亦多次發射催淚彈及橡膠彈等，導致校內多名員生受傷，大學深表遺憾及歉意。

香港中文大學有責任保障校園內所有員生的安全，絕不容許任何形式的暴力或危害他人安全的行為。任何人士如意圖利用大學校園作出任何違法或暴力行為，大學必須按照大學既定守則及法例，維護校園及所有員生安全。大學懇切呼籲所有員生及社會各界人士，給予大學時間及空間讓大學盡快恢復秩序及安寧，讓大學可以繼續履行教與學的任務，以知識貢獻社會。

昨晚段崇智校長親身到警署了解被捕中大學生的情況，三位學生已獲保釋並獲安排醫療及法律協助。大學會繼續為其他受傷員生提供協助。

Statement by The Chinese University of Hong Kong

The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) expresses deep regret and strong condemnation over the sequence of conflicts and violent, unlawful activities which took place on the CUHK campus yesterday (12 November). Despite multiple attempts to coordinate and negotiate with both parties made by the Vice-Chancellor and senior management, the negotiation ultimately failed due to sustained confrontation. Petrol bombs and injurious objects were continuously thrown by the crowd present during the confrontation, while the police fired volleys of tear gas and rubber bullets. The University is saddened to learn that a number of colleagues and students were injured in these incidents.

CUHK has the responsibility to ensure the safety of all staff and students on campus. All forms of violence or acts that pose a danger to others are prohibited. If anyone should use the campus for any illegal or violent activities, the University is duty bound to invoke its established rules and regulations to safeguard the security of the campus and the safety of all CUHK members. The University sincerely appeals to all members of the University and different sectors of the community to give us time and space for a prompt restoration of order and function on campus, so that the University can carry on with our primary mission of teaching and learning to service the community by means of knowledge creation and dissemination.

Upon learning of the arrest of CUHK students yesterday, Professor Rocky S. Tuan, Vice-Chancellor and President of CUHK, went to the police station to visit the arrested students. Three students were subsequently released on bail and provided medical and legal assistance. The University will continue to provide appropriate assistance to other injured members of the University.

揭發用1億成本拍Youtube片MrBeast 3個暴富祕訣

利用1億成本拍Youtube片MrBeast 3個暴富祕訣

成本$14,337,100拍Youtube片的MrBeast XX的秘密

錢錢錢錢. 錢錢錢錢. 小時候看香港電影經常出現的設定是: 建築, 購物, 娛樂, 尊嚴也是離不開 ‘錢’ 這個字. 有錢字的電影名也大把: 借錢專家, 搶錢夫妻, 慳錢家族.

反以外國用 ‘Money’ 作為主題的經典電影通常只是用來作為包裝去講主角之間的友情親情或本來人性的弱點.

這個 ‘人性’ wuy chi到現今Youtube界會給10,000元美金貼士, 100,000美元cheuy手給lo sook者, 再以1,000,000美元買一盒燻肉? 這位草根出身的22歲Youtuber到底怎麼可以花14,337,100美金 (一千四百三十三萬七千一百美元) 即是一億一千一百一十一萬六千六百八十二元港幣, 拍Youtube呢? 這個數字不計他送藍寶堅尼給自己d friend, 建設史上最高的Lego玩具, 拿來破壞ja lan的戰艦或送100,000朵玫瑰花給自己女朋友作為情人節禮物那個budget.

大家好又是我暗網仔. 就用第13集網路傳記人物MrBeast導出3個讓你可以成為他一樣的戰略. 不是只做Youtuber那麼簡單, 是2020年如何處於一個控制到這麼多錢的有利位置.

3點: 破解youtube演算法/熱門影片/如何用錢做生意

YouTube algorithm - click through rate (title usually has shock value, and thumbnail is amateur by design) and watch time

8年拍了686條Youtube片的MrBeast大部分最高觀看次數影片都是自2017年pai錢/耐力choi等影片開始. 9500萬view, 7400萬, 6900萬. 都是Youtuber夢mei yi kuw的viral video [pause video] (“Viral” 這個字意味該影片能複製到很多不同地方. ). Youtube演算法viral就會整天讓你見到 ‘他’ 迫你按下去. 大家對演算法常常會用過於複雜甚至陰謀論的解釋, 但Youtube演算法只goo兩樣東西: 觀看分鐘和click-through rate. Mrbeast利用觀看分鐘由片頭馬上來個hook講述影片大gong之後10至20分鐘最適合有: 開始, 中段, 結尾| 的影片長度, 在片尾才揭露標題吸引你進來的那一個點, 因而令觀眾別需看到最尾, 得到結果. Click-through rate又分開影片標題和封面兩個部份. Mr beast標題除了直接還常常帶著shock value, 讓人有 ‘唔係啊話’ 會按下去的感覺. 封面yun用Youtuber paddy galloway分析 ‘amateur by design’ 去解釋: ‘donating $100,000 to streamers with 0 viewers’ 封面可能過於簡單, 某一些部分還不是crop得太好, 但2019年3月Mrbeast已經有30人員工的團體幫他工作, 怎麼做不好一個簡單的封面呢? 這個故意設定是為pooy合Youtube鬆散, 業餘的感覺. 最終影片得到4400萬views. 估計Mr beast一個月賺的廣告錢高達一百萬.

The viral video forumla. How he mixed several into 1.
一goon viral影片都會有以下6大元素: 跟錢有關/極端的反應/挑戰影片/惡搞/戲劇性影片/有大Youtuber的客chuen. Mrbeast內容聰明的地方是他將幾個不同會爆的元素kuw埋一chuy. 像之前那條 ‘donating $100,000...”影片 1 (跟錢有關) 2(極端的反應) 3有點惡搞) 這條 ‘last youtuber to leave wins $100,000 challenge’ 1(跟錢有關) 2(挑戰影片) 3(有大youtuber 客cheun) 好似jup yuek一樣. 露宿者

-his universal appeal and not niche . He appeals to mainstream youtube casuals , not just his loyal fans.

他影片不停viral成功也可以歸功於他影片是大jung化影片. 3歳到80的人也會被他的影片吸引. 由如初代youtube. 是這10年Youtube才被 ‘niche’ youtuber這樣東西ching ba. 我們比較Youtube第一人pewdiepie拍的重心也是遊戲影片. 品牌上有多個死忠但比較難像Mr beast有廣泛appeal.
再比較像pewdiepie一日一片的創作者Mrbeast 因為upload的片較少反以他的觀眾每一次看到有新片知道他們花10至20分鐘看這條絕對會是高質內容. 所以mrbeast條條都有這樣一個期望的時候好容易中到演算法最想要的東西.

-talk scarcity vs habit uploading. Talk in comparison to any market, early starters get a advantage in terms of being a personality because the space is vacant. Any coming up people to the market needs to be unique to set themselves apart. )

*the most main reason is money.

如何用錢the growth stage. Invest money back into yourself.
Mr beast如何用錢是他能在Youtube suen chook上位最重要一點. 他的資金分為兩種主要收入: 廣告錢和sponsor給他的直入廣告錢.

一定不是來自他自身家庭環境. 1998年5月7號出生的Mrbeast原名 Jimmy Donaldson長大於美國Kansas州, 13歳開始用 ‘Mrbeast6000’ 帳號在Youtube拍片. 2013至2014年上載超過100條遊戲影片但只有幾千views. 到2015年7月他才到達3000個subscriber.
有趣地他初時比較多人留意的影片系列 ‘How much money do youtubers make’ 也是將自己收入公開從估計其他大Youtuber的收入. 可見他從來對錢也不是十分juek緊.
(Show interview clip 3:25)
(Count to 100,000)
(show pewdiepie pewdiepie) (show yourself) 你知道連全港最面肥Youtuber暗網仔也要抄襲他概念就知道他利害. 但肥面Youtuber收到直入廣告Nordvpn收入後是買隻lo被自己lo mo架! 而MrBeast收到直入廣告是reinvest回自己business度.

(Casey interview 7:01) 每一次Mrbeast收到廣告soing給他的chuw lo他就馬上把那一but錢放進自己的影片作爲內容. 通常是做慈善捐給有需要的人. 雖然mrbeast是付出了這but錢但由於他已經精通自己創造viral video的formula影片dim gik通常夠他賺回這but錢有dut. 但又chuey yi再度擴大自己品牌.

在這一兩年他爆紅期間這chak略特別effective因為在5步business life cycle 中他當時處於第2步: Growth stage. 一poon生意這個成長階段應該盡量推出duk po推出新產品給顧客而不是集中在賺錢的部分.

他請身邊家人朋友做幕前幕後的員工來expand比起一些只請一兩個editor甚至孤身作戰的Youtuber效率會更高.
