This year’s government work report delivered by Premier Li Qiang marks a shift from the perennial fixation with growth towards a greater emphasis on effective strategic development, especially social and people-centred outcomes. The “two sessions” have convened against the backdrop of Washington’s military adventure overseas. In contrast to that overextended empire, China will prevail in the competition with the United States by putting its own house in order. Some of the most consequential reforms are not found in the work report’s section headings but are sometimes buried in the text. Both China’s rapid economic growth and the ills plaguing its economy can largely be attributed to how regional and local cadres are evaluated and promoted. The historical ethos has been growth at all costs . Barring corruption, cadres have long been incentivised to focus on delivering results for today rather than fostering long-term sustainable growth. Advertisement Real estate development has powered immediate economic growth even as industrial investment has been squeezed out. Residential land can be sold for instant revenue and with expectations of swift projects, while industrial land is priced lower in exchange for industrial development and future tax revenues. Beyond the land-based model of municipal finance in China, cadres’ incentives have played a key role in creating China’s property glut. China’s landscape is dotted with vanity projects . Their construction may have provided a short-term gross domestic product boost, even if often leaving the local area debt-laden. Economic growth becomes a mirage arising from wastage instead of authentic development. Advertisement

Dogecoin (DOGE +3.59%) has the uncanny ability to capture investors' attention for years on end. It is, after all, the original meme coin and all that entails. But don't let that any renewed hype fool you. There's a serious mistake that many investors are vulnerable to with Dogecoin right now: Buying it. Let's walk through why that's something you need to avoid. The math is working against you from minute one It's obvious that every asset you plan to hold for the long term needs some mechanism for accruing value. That mechanism might be scarcity, or a killer business model, or a monopoly of some kind. Dogecoin doesn't have any of those qualities. One modest problem is that its total supply outstanding is perpetually increasing. The protocol mints roughly 5 billion new coins every year without fail. With about 169 billion coins already circulating, that translates to an annual supply expansion rate near 3%. Expand CRYPTO : DOGE Dogecoin Today's Change ( 3.59 %) $ 0.00 Current Price $ 0.09 Key Data Points Market Cap $14B Day's Range $ 0.09 - $ 0.09 52wk Range $ 0.08 - $ 0.30 Volume 1.1B Getting 3% of your value diluted each year is, all things considered, not catastrophic. The issue is that there isn't any countervailing force creating so much demand for the coin that its price could rise faster than the rate of dilution. There's almost nothing that requires buying Dogecoin such that it would have value -- nothing except getting the thrill of a gamble on its chances of going to the moon. Still, locking up your capital in Dogecoin incurs an opportunity cost, not to mention the guarantee of constant dilution, so it's a significant mistake to buy it. Hype is not a thesis If the structural picture is that bleak for this coin, why does Dogecoin keep resurfacing? It's exceptionally good at generating excitement once every few years, and that causes people to flock to buy it. A single Elon Musk social media post in early 2021 pushed the coin's price up 80% in a day. Of cours...

A Bangladeshi man who spent over three years on bail in Malaysia fighting local child pornography charges has been spirited to Alaska by the FBI to face what prosecutors describe as one of the most prolific child exploitation cases in US history. Zobaidul Amin, 28, was brought from Malaysia to the United States last Wednesday and made his initial appearance in a federal court in Anchorage the following day, where he pleaded not guilty to all 13 counts, according to the US Department of Justice (DOJ). The transfer followed years of cooperation between US and Malaysian authorities after Amin was first arrested in Malaysia in September 2022, during a joint investigation involving the US Federal Bureau of Investigation and Royal Malaysia Police. A US federal grand jury had already indicted Amin two months earlier, in July 2022, meaning he was a wanted man when Malaysian police moved on him. A Royal Malaysian Police K-9 unit takes part in a parade in Kuala Lumpur. Photo: AFP Malaysian media reported that the suspect had been living in the country while studying medicine when police detained and later charged him locally with child pornography offences at the Sessions Court in Seremban. At that court appearance, Amin pleaded not guilty to multiple charges related to the production and possession of child sexual abuse material, according to Malaysian news outlet Sinar Harian. Advertisement The court granted him bail under strict conditions, including monthly reporting to the police and a prohibition on contacting victims or witnesses. His trial was still under way as recently as November 2024, when a scheduled hearing was postponed for prosecution review. Malaysian state news agency Bernama reported that authorities had been working with US counterparts since his arrest as part of an international investigation into alleged online exploitation. His extradition on Wednesday is illegal Harvindar Singh, Amin’s defence lawyer Amin’s defence lawyer has since criticised the circ...

Advertisement What NVIDIA’s Latest Performance Metrics Mean For Investors NVIDIA (NVDA) is back in focus as investors weigh its recent share performance against its role as a large AI infrastructure provider. The stock last closed at US$182.65, with a mixed set of recent return figures. Over the past month, NVIDIA’s share price shows a return of about a 1% decline, while the past 3 months also reflect a modest negative move. Year to date, the stock is down roughly 3%, though the 1 year total return of about 71% and a very large 3 year total return highlight how different time frames can tell very different stories. For longer term holders, the 5 year total return, at around 13x, underlines how significant compounding can be over multi year periods, even if shorter stretches feel more muted or choppy. The recent 1 day share price return of 2.7% comes after a softer start to the year, with year to date share price performance in negative territory while the 1 year and multi year total shareholder returns remain very strong. That mix of shorter term cooling and longer term strength suggests some momentum has faded for now as investors reassess how much growth and risk they are willing to price in at around US$182.65 per share. If NVIDIA’s moves in AI infrastructure have your attention, it can be useful to see what else is out there in this theme. Take a look at our screener of as a starting point for comparing other names in the space. So with NVIDIA delivering strong 1 year and multi year total returns but trading around US$182.65 after a softer stretch, is the recent cooling a fresh entry point or is the market already pricing in future growth? Most Popular Narrative: 7.3% Overvalued According to the most followed narrative, NVIDIA’s fair value sits at $170.26 per share, which is below the recent close at $182.65, framing this as a premium story. Nvidia will hit $400b annual revenue in 5 years time. ~90% of revenue will come from data centre customers. This equates t...

Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News Apple ( AAPL ) reportedly boosted iPhone production in India by about 53% in 2025, assembling roughly 55M devices, up from 36M a year earlier, as the company continues shifting manufacturing away from China to reduce tariff exposure. India now accounts for about a quarter of Apple’s iPhone output, Bloomberg News reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Apple has accelerated its expansion in India in recent years, supported by production-linked incentives introduced by PM Narendra Modi to boost local manufacturing. The subsidies have helped offset some of the structural cost disadvantages that manufacturers face in India, including the lack of a China-like robust supply chain and logistics challenges. In 2025, shipments from China, where Apple still produces most of its iPhones, faced pressure from U.S. tariffs tied to the ongoing trade tensions between the two countries. This has also pushed Apple and suppliers to move more devices destined for the American market to alternative locations, with India emerging as a key manufacturing hub. Despite the shift, assembling electronics in India still costs more than in countries such as China and Vietnam, prompting companies including Apple ( AAPL ), Samsung Electronics ( SSNLF ), and others to seek additional government support. India’s current smartphone production incentives are set to expire on March 31, and companies are in talks with New Delhi about extending subsidies to remain competitive. Apple ( AAPL ) currently assembles the iPhone 17 series in India, including Pro and Pro Max models, while suppliers such as Foxconn Technology Group, Tata Electronics, and Pegatron also produce earlier models like the iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 for domestic sales and exports. The ramp-up underscores Apple’s strategy to build India as a second major iPhone manufacturing base, while expanding local suppliers producing components such as lithium-ion cells, device enclosures, and accessories, in...
