THE CHINA REVOLUTION

There’s a revolution taking place in China. Did you know that 8 out of the top 10 self-made women billionaires now come from China? In fact, China now has 93 self-made women billionaires compared to 31 in the rest of the World.

The top billionare ladies

The growth in entrepreneurial wealth in China is mind boggling in scale. This year the country overtook the United States for the first time with the most number of billionaires in total - and continues to grow by another 90 to 100 each year.

China now has 568 billionaires compared to 535 in the US, and Beijing has overtaken New York as the billionaire capital of the world (with 100 compared to 95 in NYC).

The growth in China’s economy, and the trend of China’s entrepreneurs going global, has led to two big phenomena. The first is greater equality, as women see they have equal opportunity to men when they launch their own business.

The second is in the dramatic drop in poverty levels. From 1990 to 2000, China’s per-capita income rose from $200 to $1,000. Then from 2000 to 2010 it rose from $1,000 to $5,000. That’s a x25 increase in 20 years - and as a result, three quarters of the entire world’s poverty reduction from 1990 to 2005 happened in China.

China has now eliminated almost all urban poverty by giving cash subsidies to all city residents across China below the poverty line, and it now has a plan to eliminate all poverty in the country by 2020 (10 years ahead of the UN’s 2030 Global Goals target).

What’s driving this transformation? Entrepreneurship and equality.

Recognising this, the Chinese government has made entrepreneurship the leading agenda of its economic strategy, with Premier Li Keqiang calling for “mass entrepreneurship and innovation”.

At his speech at this year’s National People’s Congress, he mentioned the word “Innovation” 59 times and “entrepreneurship” 22 times.

This wealth effect is tipping the balance of entrepreneurial activity from the West to the East. From China, to India, to across Asia Pacific, there is a new dawn of entrepreneurship, and women are leading by example.

“Women hold up half the sky.” ~ Chinese Proverb

THE GAME OF MONEY(WHO IS INDEBTED INTO WHOM)

The name of the game of money is 'who is indebted into whom'. the more people you are indebted to the, the poorer you are, and the more people you have indebted to you, the wealthier you are. that is the game. W e are all indebted to someone else, the problem occur when the debt gets out of balance. Unfortunately the poor people of this world have been run over so hard by the game, they often can't get deeper into debt. If you have too much debt, the world takes everything you have.........your time, your work, your home, your life, your confidence, and then they take your dignity if you let them. The biggest reason why everyone is in debt is because money itself is debt, our currency is not an instrument of equity, but an instrument debt. Every shilling is backed by an IOU guaranteed to be paid by the taxpayers of the issuing country. As long as the world has confidence in in the Ugandan taxpayer to work and pay for the IOU called money, the world will have confidenc
