25.01.2022 "China is slowing on purpose, allowing the market and the real economy to make decisions. The government should be applauded for its resolve in this area since these reforms, if continued, will truly lead to China overcoming its weaknesses and stepping fully formed onto the global economic stage. The potential of that is hard to overstate. The panic of overseas markets seems massively overdone." A well-considered and factual assessment of the current situation in China. https://www.linkedin.com//china-facing-lehman-moment-owen-

21.01.2022 "In 1990, average household debt represented less than six months of annual income. That has now tripled to 18 months of annual income. "The gap between households that save and those that do not is also widening. While households with greater savings generally earned more, they also saved 200 times more than those which did not." There will be an ugly ending to this quarter century of self-delusion.... http://www.abc.net.au//australian-household-debt-t/6551352 See more

18.01.2022 Building bridges through cooperative endeavour

18.01.2022 "Consultants underprice their services all the time. When they get tired of competing with other consultants on price, they begin to remember why they began consulting. They did it to solve thorny problems that not everyone can solve. Their low-low pricing was driving the right clients away!" https://www.linkedin.com//why-premium-brands-dont-charge-b

17.01.2022 "The advent of electric vehicles, along with automation, growth in the sharing economy and technological connectivity, could bring the largest transformation in the transport sector has seen since the shift from steam to diesel locomotives." Lotus Energy Co-operative is already positioning itself to play a major role in the provision of fast charging stations for electric vehicles Lotus Energy... https://www.smh.com.au//infrastructure-australia-says-we-n See more

15.01.2022 Labor will make public transport free for all children.

15.01.2022 "For the exporters this is going to be a real headache. They've got ships that are on time-charter and they may have pre-bought quite big numbers of cattle for the quarter. They've already incurred significant cost because the release of these permits has been late, so they've had to pay demurrage and feeding costs on cattle." The viability and sustainability of this industry is of concern because of its reliance on a single market controlled by governmental decree. http://www.abc.net.au//cattle-exporters-devastated/6614826

14.01.2022 "Investments don't always take cash. They often require our effort, our focus, or our commitment. And the good ones always seem like they take too much, until later, when we realize what a bargain that effort would have been." http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog//06/overpriced.html

14.01.2022 "I have repeatedly said that as long as there is adequate employment, a steady rise in incomes and an improving environment, slower or faster growth is acceptable," Premier Li Keqiang said. "We are making targeted adjustments to the economy to reduce fluctuation in the short term and prevent risk contagion from overflowing." Many of those very publicly talking the Chinese economy down could perhaps devote the same attention to the economic performance of their own countries.... http://china.org.cn/business/2015-09/10/content_36552294.htm See more

13.01.2022 "Every time someone says 'Mate, this won't work', ask yourself Why not and get that answer. Every time someone gives you a thumb down, treat it as an opportunity. Asking safe questions, whose reply will only act as a catalyst is not the right approach. Keep your idea alive and healthy by talking to lot of Nay sayers." Some sound advice in this article. https://www.linkedin.com/pul/kill-idea-first-tejveer-singh

11.01.2022 "Copy-to-China is an outdated and oversimplified concept that no longer accurately describes Chinas tech industry. Do Chinese companies still take their inspiration from successful foreign tech companies? Sure. But adapting these products to China almost always means making radical and innovative changes to the nature of the service." The transformation of China's tech industry can be viewed as a forerunner for other sectors.China should be recognised as an increasingly sophisticated business environment. https://www.techinasia.com/chinese-companies-copy/

11.01.2022 "With seemingly each passing day, the Chinese yuan is gaining more influence around the world, and is getting set to potentially dethrone the dollar or at least give it some stiff opposition." We are living at a time of fundamental realignment in global influence. https://www.linkedin.com//chinese-yuan-scoring-yet-another

09.01.2022 "Companies who want to succeed in the French solar market need to work closely with local partners to overcome any administrative obstacles. This is why Obton is developing solar PV projects through its French subsidiary, Coruscant Développement." In Australia Obton has entered into a joint venture partnership with Lotus Energy Co-operative to build and operate solar-powered optimised community grids in rural towns and cities. https://www.obton.com//france-between-nuclear-and-renewab/

09.01.2022 An insightful article illustrating it can be unwise to choose a capital-demanding hyper growth strategy over a more incremental alternative. https://www.linkedin.com//missed-opportunity-listening-cli

08.01.2022 A good summary of relevant points. There is only one thing I have an issue with; Ron Kunitsky mentioning "dont have any spare moments to think about the most effective strategies for Growth". Strategising is not something to be dealt with in "spare moments"; it should be the major point of focus in growing a business. https://www.linkedin.com//entrepreneurs-worldwide-still-fa

08.01.2022 "Sometimes passivity is a key enabler. And it was here. "The government had no grand plan for or against ecommerce, and in its early days, largely stood back and observed whether or not this would turn out to be a positive. As it seemed to be allowing millions of small scale businesses to get established and flourish, the experiment was seen to be a success, even if players had not always sought licenses they might have required, or had ownership structures that may not fully... align with regulations." The involvement of globally significant players, like Jack Ma's Alibaba has driven e-commerce to an extraordinary level of participation in China. - See more at: http://www.mckinseychina.com/why-chinas-ecommerce-industr/ http://www.mckinseychina.com/why-chinas-ecommerce-industry/

07.01.2022 An exceptional article on the coming housing crash in Australia. Buying in at the final stages of financial mania is precisely the wrong strategy for aspiring home owners. This is a time for patience and accumulating funds, not just for an eventual home purchase but as insurance against the recession which will inevitably accompany the pricking of the bubble. http://www.macrobusiness.com.au//the-housing-crash-we-had/

07.01.2022 "The project is one of seven U.S.-China clean energy initiatives announced by President Obama under the U.S.-China Renewable Energy Partnership (USCREP) in 2009. Delingha is set to go online in 2017, and we can expect to see more such projects following in the near future." This is what the world needs. International cooperation for socially beneficial purposes - not confrontation. http://3tags.org//china-is-building-a-massive-6-300-acre-s

06.01.2022 Bruce Ross Consulting welcomes the establishment of Meating Point as an innovative vehicle connecting Australian and Chinese agriculture. We are proud to be associated with this initiative. https://youtu.be/XnKL-WY9HNg

06.01.2022 Under the Liberals and Nationals, parents are being asked to deliver more for their schools, including being asked to purchase basic school supplies. That's why we'll give $5,000 a year to every public school P&C in the state to help provide some immediate financial relief.

05.01.2022 "I hope there's going to be a lot of Australian business now that maybe had been reluctant about entering into China, worried about some of the so-called barriers, that they can now feel confident this is a place that they can do business." New Zealand certainly seems to have derived significant benefit from its free trade agreement with China. http://www.abc.net.au//australia-and-china-to-sign/6551442

04.01.2022 "Despite what many politicians seem to believe, the work of countless dedicated people around the world shows the cost of new renewable energy generation is less than the cost of new coal generation. This includes enough storage or dispatchable generation to meet demand more reliably than coal. When an old coal power station is shut down it wont be replaced with new coal generation simply because the alternatives are cheaper." Lotus Energy https://www.solarquotes.com.au//coal-killed-by-renewables/

02.01.2022 "The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), Chinas state planning agency, earlier today announced more than 1,000 individual infrastructure projects they wish to build totaling $US317 billion in value. "Instead of fully funding and constructing the projects themselves, something that would have been the case in the past, the government is looking to involve the private sector in its ambitious plan through the establishment of a series of public-private partnershi...ps (PPP)." China is really committed to building for the future, something other countries should emulate. http://www.businessinsider.com.au/china-just-announced-an-a

01.01.2022 "Pumped-hydro energy storage can go from zero to full power extremely quickly it takes only a few minutes. Pumped hydro accounts for 97 percent of energy storage worldwide, has a typical lifetime of 50 years and is the lowest cost large-scale energy-storage technology available." https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-spot-530-000-potent
