Thai investors who wake up Monday morning, stare at the stock market, 30 points of heavy index or think of a lost value of around 3 billion Baht in one day.

Why shares are heavy today? Investmentman will tell you about it.

It's not about Thailand, not about Thai politics, not about Thai economy, but the important cause today's global stock market is all over the world. Worries of the US-China trade war.

This has been happening Friday night in Thailand (Thai Stock Exchange is closed). China has announced that China has been imported from US Taxes.

Because the US now collects imported goods from China in many categories worth around 7.5 trillion baht, with a tax rate of 25 %

Imagine if we were Chinese, used to export products to the US from the same time, exported items for 100 baht. Now it would be charged with 25 baht, making U.S. imported costs 25 % immediately.

If a profitable product is not possible for US importers to sell the same price to US consumers.

What you need to do next is to raise the price. When you raise the price of Chinese products, you will sell less.

But there is a problem that if Chinese products are sold less, Chinese manufacturers are affected. They have to fire staff. They have to close the business and order less materials from other companies or other countries.

When Chinese companies close, they affect other sector businesses like banking and real estate.

In conclusion, there is nothing good for the US, China, and all other countries involved in the world..

China's counter-turn measures are China going to raise U.S. imported goods tax. It's in various categories that cover both crude, soy, cars.

How important are these items?

These items, China, are major imports from the U.S. and affect many people of the U.S.

For example, soybeans will directly affect US farmers because China is an importer of US soybeans.

The tax rate China collects from 10 % to 25 % similar to the US.

This is not the end..

When Donald Trump finds out this news, he's pissed off.

Immediately use Twitter's mobile phone to counter Chinese tax increase by increasing Chinese tax.

The tax on products in the original category of 7.5 trillion baht will be taxed from 25 % to 30 % will be effective on 1 October.

The tax section of new products in the new category is 9 trillion Baht. This is scheduled for 1 September. It will rise from 10 % to 15 %

These were reassured of confidence once Donald Trump flew to G7 France. British Prime Minister and journalist asked Trump if this taxpayer was thinking well? Will you think again?

Trump plays a joke that he doesn't think well. He will rethink whether he will raise the tax more than before.

When things like this, I open Monday morning to Asia's stock market, I post the whole panel.
Japanese stock market is down 2.0 %
Hong Kong stock market fell 2.8 %
Chinese stock market is down 1.0 %
U.S. stock market has gone down 2.6 % waiting since Trump's Friday night.

And this is why Thai stocks 30 points today. If it's a percentage, it's about 2.0 % consistent with other countries in the world.

This is a good idea that investment is always uncertain.

Even though I have thought well that everything is not wrong.
But in perfection we think.
Probably something that comes to turn the whole game over
Like Trump and Jinping today..

🇩🇰 這是一篇深度報導，來自歐洲現存最古老的報紙：丹麥Weekendavisen，題目是從香港抗爭運動、香港聯繫加泰羅尼亞的集會，前瞻全球大城市的「永久革命」。一篇報導訪問了世界各地大量學者，我也在其中，雖然只是每人一句，加在一起，卻有了很完整的圖像。

以下為英譯：

Protest! The demonstrations in Hong Kong were just the beginning. Now there are unrest in big cities from Baghdad to Barcelona. Perhaps the stage is set for something that could look like a permanent revolution in the world's big cities.

A world on the barricades

At the end of October, an hour after dark, a group of young protesters gathered at the Chater Garden Park in Hong Kong. Some of them wore large red and yellow flags. The talk began and the applause filled the warm evening air. There were slogans of independence, and demands of self-determination - from Spain. For the protest was in sympathy with the Catalan independence movement.

At the same time, a group of Catalan protesters staged a protest in front of the Chinese Consulate in Barcelona in favor of Hong Kong's hope for more democracy. The message was not to be mistaken: We are in the same boat. Or, as Joshua Wong, one of the leading members of the Hong Kong protest movement, told the Catalan news agency: "The people of Hong Kong and Catalonia both deserve the right to decide their own destiny."

For much of 2019, Hong Kong's streets have been ravaged by fierce protests and a growing desperation on both sides, with escalating violence and vandalism ensuing. But what, do observers ask, if Hong Kong is not just a Chinese crisis, but a warning of anger that is about to break out globally?

Each week brings new turmoil from an unexpected edge. In recent days, attention has focused on Chile. Here, more than 20 people have lost their lives in unrest, which has mainly been about unequal distribution of economic goods. Before then, the unrest has hit places as diverse as Lebanon and the Czech Republic, Bolivia and Algeria, Russia and Sudan.

With such a geographical spread, it is difficult to bring the protests to any sort of common denominator, but they all reflect a form of powerlessness so acute that traditional ways of speaking do not seem adequate.

Hardy Merriman, head of research at the International Center for Nonviolent Conflict in Washington, is not in doubt that it is a real wave of protest and that we have not seen the ending yet.

"I have been researching non-violent resistance for 17 years, and to me it is obvious that there are far more popular protest movements now than before. Often the protests have roots in the way political systems work. Elsewhere, it is about welfare and economic inequality or both. The two sets of factors are often related, ”he says.

Economic powerlessness

Hong Kong is a good example of this. The desire among the majority of Hong Kong's seven million residents to maintain an independent political identity vis-à-vis the People's Republic of China is well known, but the resentment of the streets is also fueled by a sense of economic powerlessness. Hong Kong is one of the most unequal communities in the world, and especially the uneven access to the real estate market is causing a stir.

According to Lee Chun-wing, a sociologist at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, the turmoil in the city is not just facing Beijing, but also expressing a daunting showdown with the neoliberal economy, which should diminish the state's role and give the market more influence, but in its real form often ends with the brutal arbitrariness of jungle law.

'The many protests show that neoliberalism is unable to instill hope in many. And as one of the world's most neoliberal cities, Hong Kong is no exception. While the protests here are, of course, primarily political, there is no doubt that social polarization and economic inequality make many young people not afraid to participate in more radical protests and do not care whether they are accused of damage economic growth, 'he says.

The turmoil is now so extensive that it can no longer be dismissed as a coincidence. Something special and significant is happening. As UN Secretary General António Guterres put it last week, it would be wrong to stare blindly at the superficial differences between the factors that get people on the streets.
“There are also common features that are recurring across the continents and should force us to reflect and respond. It is clear that there is growing distrust between the people and the political elites and growing threats to the social contract. The world is struggling with the negative consequences of globalization and the new technologies that have led to growing inequality in individual societies, "he told reporters in New York.

Triggered by trifles

In many cases, the riots have been triggered by questions that may appear almost trivial on the surface. In Chile, there was an increase in the price of the capital's subway equivalent to 30 Danish cents, while in Lebanon there were reports of a tax on certain services on the Internet. In both places, it was just the reason why the people have been able to express a far more fundamental dissatisfaction.

In a broad sense, there are two situations where a population is rebelling, says Paul Almeida, who teaches sociology at the University of California, Merced. The first is when more opportunities suddenly open up and conditions get better. People are getting hungry for more and trying to pressure their politicians to give even more concessions.

“But then there is also the mobilization that takes place when people get worse. That seems to be the overall theme of the current protests, even in Hong Kong. People are concerned about various kinds of threats they face. It may be the threat of inferior economic conditions, or it may be a more political threat of erosion of rights. But the question is why it is happening right now. That's the 10,000-kroner issue, ”says Almeida.

Almeida, who has just published the book Social Movements: The Structure of Social Mobilization, even gives a possible answer. A growing authoritarian, anti-democratic flow has spread across the continents and united rulers in all countries, and among others it is the one that has now triggered a reaction in the peoples.

“There is a tendency for more use of force by the state power. If we look at the death toll in Latin America, they are high considering that the countries are democracies. This kind of violence is not usually expected in democratic regimes in connection with protests. It is an interesting trend and may be related to the authoritarian flow that is underway worldwide. It's worth watching, 'he says.

The authoritarian wave

Politologists Anna Lürhmann and Staffan Lindberg from the University of Gothenburg describe in a paper published earlier this year a "third autocratic wave." Unlike previous waves, for example, in the years before World War II, when democracy was beaten under great external drama , the new wave is characterized by creeping. It happens little by little - in countries like Turkey, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Hungary and Russia - at such a slow pace that you barely notice it.

Even old-fashioned autocrats nowadays understand the language of democracy - the only acceptable lingua franca in politics - and so the popular reaction does not happen very often when it becomes clear at once that the electoral process itself is not sufficient to secure democratic conditions. Against this backdrop, Kenneth Chan, a politician at Hong Kong Baptist University, sees the recent worldwide wave of unrest as an expression of the legitimacy crisis of the democratic regimes.

“People have become more likely to take the initiative and take part in direct actions because they feel that they have not made the changes they had hoped for through the elections. In fact, the leaders elected by the peoples are perceived as undermining the institutional guarantees of citizens' security, freedom, welfare and rights. As a result, over the past decade, we have seen more democracies reduced to semi-democracies, hybrid regimes and authoritarian regimes, ”he says.

"Therefore, we should also not be surprised by the new wave of resistance from the people. On the surface, the spark may be a relatively innocent or inconsiderate decision by the leadership, but people's anger quickly turns to what they see as the cause of the democratic deroute, that is, an arrogant and selfish leadership, a weakened democratic control, a dysfunctional civil society. who are no longer able to speak on behalf of the people. ”The world is changing. Anthony Ince, a cardiff at Cardiff University who has researched urban urban unrest, sees the uprisings as the culmination of long-term nagging discontent and an almost revolutionary situation where new can arise.

"The wider context is that the dominant world order - the global neoliberalism that has dominated since the 1980s - is under pressure from a number of sides, creating both uncertainty and at the same time the possibility of change. People may feel that we are in a period of uncertainty, confusion, anxiety, but perhaps also hope, ”he says.
Learning from each other.

Apart from mutual assurances of solidarity the protest movements in between, there does not appear to be any kind of coordination. But it may not be necessary either. In a time of social media, learning from each other's practices is easy, says Simon Shen, a University of Hong Kong political scientist.

“They learn from each other at the tactical level. Protesters in Hong Kong have seen what happened in Ukraine through YouTube, and now protesters in Catalonia and Lebanon are taking lessons from Hong Kong. It's reminiscent of 1968, when baby boomers around the globe were inspired by an alternative ideology to break down rigid hierarchies, 'he says.
But just as the protest movements can learn from each other, the same goes for their opponents. According to Harvard political scientist Erica Chenoweth, Russia has been particularly active in trying to establish cooperation with other authoritarian regimes, which feel threatened by riots in the style of the "color revolutions" on the periphery of the old Soviet empire at the turn of the century.

"It has resulted in joint efforts between Russian, Chinese, Iranian, Venezuelan, Belarusian, Syrian and other national authorities to develop, systematize and report on techniques and practices that have proved useful in trying to contain such threats," writes Chenoweth in an article in the journal Global Responsibility to Protect.

Max Fisher and Amanda Taub, commentators at the New York Times, point to the social media as a double-edged sword. Not only are Twitter and Facebook powerful weapons in the hands of tech-savvy autocrats. They are also of questionable value to the protesting grass roots. With WhatsApp and other new technologies, it is possible to mobilize large numbers of interested and almost-interested participants in collective action. But they quickly fall apart again.

The volatile affiliation is one of the reasons why, according to a recent survey, politically motivated protests today only succeed in reaching their targets in 30 percent of cases. A generation ago, the success rate was 70 percent. Therefore, unrest often recurs every few years, and they last longer, as Hong Kong is an example of. Perhaps the scene is set for something that might resemble a permanent revolution in the world's big cities - a kind of background noise that other residents will eventually just get used to.

"Since there is still no obvious alternative to neoliberalism, the polarization that led to the protests initially will probably continue to apply," says Lee of Hong Kong Polytechnic University. "At the same time, this means that the anger and frustration will continue to rumble in society."

剛好看到楊斯棓醫師的臉書。過去與許多在台投資的商會朋友，特別是受薪員工常聊到，很多在台工作的專業人員，例如高科技、資安產業的朋友，儘管薪資高，但是在台灣的所得級距，常常就會到40%的級距。

但台灣各大企業繳的稅卻又低又少「不僅是亞洲四小龍中最低，只佔ＧＤＰ的二．七％，也比中國的三．六％低，更不到香港的一半。」（天下雜誌-企業好大稅好低）

我們都歡迎大筆投資進來台灣，不管是工廠、設備、土地，但是所有投資裡頭，最能夠發揮綜合效益的，就是人才資源。

然而這些專業人士，不管本籍外籍，所得來源通常不來自被動式收入，不來自租金、有價證卷等其他資本孳息等收入。（巴菲特曾說，他繳的稅率比清潔工低）

而這些專業人士，通常也更會將他們的薪資收入，更大比例重新在一般「消費市場」，而非「資本市場」消費。

他們會花費在下一代的教育，他們生活周遭的市場、餐廳、
遊樂設施，而這些消費也會有正面的效應，回到一般民眾。一層一層下去，對整體經濟更會有正面的影響。

台灣接下來面對的挑戰，更需要一群來自海內外的所有專業人才一起打拼，讓簇新的思想以及判斷事物的不同原則一起激盪，從移民法規、稅制，我們都可以破除所有前例，就算會經歷一些辯論、陣痛。

或許除了專注於貨物、商品流通，我們更該注重國家發展最重要的主軸：人。

In the past, I often talked to many friends in business associations investing in Taiwan, especially their salaried employees. Many professionals working in Taiwan, such as high-tech and security industry friends, despite the relatively high salary have an income gap in Taiwan that often reaches the 40% level compared to other markets.

However, the taxes paid by Taiwan’s major enterprises are low. "Not only is it the lowest among the four Asian dragons, it only accounts for 2.7% of GDP, it is also lower than China’s 3.6%, and it is less than half of Hong Kong." World Magazine-Enterprises have great taxes and low taxes)

We all welcome large investments in Taiwan, whether it is factories, equipment, or land, but among all the investments, the most comprehensive benefit is human resources.

However, these professionals, regardless of their foreign nationality, usually do not derive their income from passive income, nor from income such as rent and other certificates such as securities. (Buffett once said that he pays a lower tax rate than cleaners)

And these professionals usually also reinvest their salary income in a larger proportion in the general "consumer market" rather than the "capital market".

They will spend their education on the next generation, the markets, restaurants,
Amusement facilities, and these consumptions will also have a positive effect, returning to the general public. Layer by layer these have a positive impact on the overall economy.

Taiwan’s next challenge will require a group of professionals from all over the world to work together to stir up new ideas and different principles for evaluating things. From immigration laws and tax systems, we can all break all the previous examples, even if we will experience some debates and pain points.

Perhaps in addition to focusing on the circulation of goods and commodities, we should pay more attention to the most important main pillar of national development: people.

How do foreign families who move to China cope with raising their Children here? If you wanted to come and live in China, could you bring your kids along? What about schooling? What about Medical care? I speak to my friend Kodak who has three American children and his American wife here in China.

Education in China is a state-run system of public education run by the Ministry of Education. All citizens must attend school for at least nine years, known as the nine-year compulsory education, which the government funds.

It includes six years of primary education, starting at age six or seven, and three years of junior secondary education (middle school) for ages 12 to 15. Some provinces may have five years of primary school but four years for middle school. After middle school, there are three years of high school, which then completes the secondary education.

The Ministry of Education reported a 99 percent attendance rate for primary school and an 80 percent rate for both primary and middle schools. In 1985, the government abolished tax-funded higher education, requiring university applicants to compete for scholarships based on academic ability. In the early 1980s the government allowed the establishment of the first private school, increasing the number of undergraduates and people who hold doctoral degrees fivefold from 1995 to 2005.

In 2003 China supported 1,552 institutions of higher learning (colleges and universities) and their 725,000 professors and 11 million students (see List of universities in China). There are over 100 National Key Universities, including Peking University and Tsinghua University. Chinese spending has grown by 20% per year since 1999, now reaching over $100bn, and as many as 1.5 million science and engineering students graduated from Chinese universities in 2006. China published 184,080 papers as of 2008.

China has also become a top destination for international students. As of 2013, China is the most popular country in Asia for international students, and ranks third overall among countries.

Laws regulating the system of education include the Regulation on Academic Degrees, the Compulsory Education Law, the Teachers Law, the Education Law, the Law on Vocational Education, and the Law on Higher Education. See also: Law of the People's Republic of China.

Although Shanghai and Hong Kong are among the top performers in the Programme for International Student Assessment, China's educational system has been criticized for its rigorousness and its emphasis on test preparation.
