Is China's competition unfair?

Can we truly compete against this?
Against individuals conditioned from childhood to perform with unparalleled excellence in their endeavors.  

Can we rival a company that operates at such an extraordinary level of productivity, bolstered by cutting-edge technology?  

To do so demands genius-caliber talent—the ability to conceive something truly distinctive—coupled with relentless dedication to refine it daily. Such prowess cannot be improvised or purchased; talent, by its very nature, is innate.  
And because it is innate, talent is formidable—a divine endowment that must be honed through disciplined effort.  

Thus, the ultimate differentiators are creativity and branding. You must identify what sets you apart, cultivate it into an unparalleled offering, and meticulously craft it into your signature while fostering an entire cultural ethos around it.  

This is the crux of Europe’s decline: it lacks the creative dynamism and relentless productivity (the hard work ethic) of the United States and the vast natural resources of Russia. Yet, for now, it still clings to its legacy trademarks. But for how much longer?  

As the world undergoes a paradigm shift (we have entered the Age of Aquarius), Europe suffers from a dearth of visionary leadership capable of confronting its existential challenges. While Trump pursues détente with Russia, recognizing that the true geopolitical threat lies in China, European leaders seem intent on provoking global conflict—a war against Russia—to obscure their corruption and incompetence.  

Where does Africa stand in all of this?  

We possess the genius—Providence has endowed this continent with boundless natural wealth. Yet, what we lack is the mobilization of our creativity and the unwavering discipline to labor diligently. Rather than instituting policies and platforms that celebrate our ingenuity and uniqueness to foster production, Africa passively awaits the victor of this global "trade war" to dictate its fate—condemning itself to perpetual underdevelopment.

Les Olympiques des OGM.

Nous sommes arrivés au moment fatidique où l’humanité, toutes nations confondues se réunit pour célébrer les jeux olympiques de Paris 2024, dont la cérémonie d'ouverture a été fort belle et à l'image de ce qu'ils ont décidé de ce que sera notre futur monde, une société OGM (Organisme Génétiquement Modifié). L'homme moderne a décidé de manifester sa divinité par sa capacité de création du fait de son intellect supérieur aux autres espèces vivantes, n'avons nous pas été créés a son image et a sa ressemblance comme le dit les écritures?  L'être humain a donc bâti le monde dans lequel il espère s'épanouir et perpetuer son espèce. Après s'être soumis à la nature, il l'a conquise et a ensuite établi ses propres règles d'existence devenant ainsi le dieu qu'il a toujours été depuis son apparition sur terre. Nous avons donc décidé de tout modifier selon notre guise pour repondre a nos aspirations qui ne sont toujours pas en harmonie avec les lois na...

If they can, we can.

"This video (link below) of Jack Ma presenting Alibaba’s vision to his peers is profoundly inspiring: 'Aim for the stars, and you may reach the heavens.'" Jack Ma's pitching Alibaba to his friends Adopt a global perspective for your enterprise and prepare for inevitable success—not merely to dominate domestically, but to compete with the world’s finest. Consider Naspers, a South African company that achieved precisely this.   Yet most of Africa’s so-called "tech tycoons" operate as mere intermediaries, distributing Western multinationals’ products across the continent. While lucrative for them, this model perpetuates Africa’s technological subjugation. The notion of "technology transfer" is illusory, for true innovation establishes supremacy—and entrenches dependence.   Everything begins with imagination, which crystallizes into ideas and, through sustained action, materializes into reality. After all, Rome was not built in a day.   If Africa c...

Developing agriculture in rural South Africa.

One of the news about Trump's becoming president of the United States for Africa is the cessation of USAID funding for South Africa (about USD 400 million). Although this will have negative effects on ARV recipients, and the medical coverage of a large number in this country with a very high rate of HIV infections, USAID funding only represents 17% of the country's medical assistance needs. The reason given by Trump is the adoption of the land expropriation bill introduced by South Africa President, Cyril Ramaphosa. For Trump, it is a racist law against white farmers who can be dispossessed of “their lands”; a debate that we will not dwell on, because it is propaganda from white supremacists who consider that they acquired these lands legally, but everyone knows that it is their spoils of apartheid. For our part, we will cite Houphouët Boigny, first president of Côte d'Ivoire, who, to launch the vast agrarian programme in Côte d'Ivoire in the 1970s, had the slogan, ...
