Is China's demography China's destiny? A chat with former World Bank economist Bert Hofman
When the National Bureau of Statistics recently revealed that China's population had shrunk in 2022 for the first time in 60 years, conventional wisdom predicted that China was headed for catastrophe, as its workforce shrank, its pension coffers dried up, and its healthcare system grew overtaxed. Not so fast, says Bert Hofman, who spent 22 years in Asia with the World Bank, focused chiefly on China. Now a professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Government at the National University of Singapore, Bert offers a deeply-informed take on the challenges China does face — and how it might address them without suffering ec...

De Meurders Methode, met oa Frits Spits, Dolf Jansen en Willemijn Veenhoven
Waarom kan Felix Meurders (74) álles op de radio? Muziek, sport, actualiteiten, talkshow, politiek, hitparades, amusement, presenteren, regisseren, verslaggeven. Hij doet het al meer dan vijftig jaar en lijkt in alles even goed. Op zijn veertigste, in 1986, stopte hij helemaal met muziekradio, maar deze maand pakte hij die toch weer op. Hij lanceerde zijn nieuwe radioprogramma FM op 5 op NPO Radio 5. Hij kan het nog steeds, en hoe! Wat is zijn geheim? Wat is de Meurders-methode? Aan de hand van fragmenten uit programma’s van Felix Meurders praat Bert Kranenbarg met mensen die hem goed kennen als collega: Frits Spits, Jan Dou...

The deal replaces more than two dozen bilateral investment treaties between the EU’s 27 member states and China, improving market access for European companies operating — or intending to operate — in China and ensuring a level playing field and recipr...
