This is likely paid astroturfing to smear China for blocking US genomic sequencing companies from accessing the large market and private genetic information.

No way in heck is journalist/article's author

, with bachelors degree in English and American literature from NYU, understood even a fraction of the biology terms she wrote for genetic sequencing services. Yet another industry-sponsored hit-piece to smear China.
Agreed. While I'm much more used to the complete dumpster fire that is science reporting in general, this piece is trash in a whole other way. The interest groups here are obvious at a glance.

Agreed. While I'm much more used to the complete dumpster fire that is science reporting in general, this piece is trash in a whole other way. The interest groups here are obvious at a glance.

The bizarre article can be summarized as:
  • Dumbass Chinese zealously protects genetic goldmine... but without sharing with 'Murican companies, it's just a lonely empty goldmine. Can dumb Chinese even science without Superior American intellect, bro?

“The government wants to have a very tight hand in this area as they realize this has a huge economic potential, but … China needs international collaboration to realize that potential.....Currently you’re just having a gold mine right at your door, but you actually don’t know how to mine it" said Joy Y. Zhang....
“Chinese life sciences is a major power in the world, but is not yet a superpower. In a lot of cutting edge areas it still relies on international collaborations,” Zhang said.
.. she added “Nowadays we’re talking about big data, we’re talking about mining the data. And in this context, restricting access will only be harmful to China.

I lost a few IQ points reading that article. Truly on another level.

Sickening bastards for even thinking of using the disabled to fight a war. Having known what being disabled is like, I can only hope whatever war comes to the English isles that they have the decency to strike the house of the retard that came up with that statement

If you ever talked to some people in the military, you might think they are already using the disabled…

(Speaking from experience lol)

How much more race traitor can you actually be, I am always puzzled for the beings that vehemently denounce their heritage for some good boy points from white gerontocracy

Lenders now seeing 60-, 70-, even 90-year mortgages as Canadians struggle with rocketing interest rates​

For most homeowners, the standard time to pay off a mortgage is 25 years.

Now, in the face of crippling interest rates, some existing homeowners are seeing their amortization period go as high as 90-years as their ‘fixed-payment’ variable-rate mortgages adjust automatically to rising interest rates while the monthly payment remains the same.

“We’ve seen 60 years, 70 years, and we did see someone with 90 years,” said mortgage broker Ron Butler. “The majority of mortgages at some of the major banks are being extended and homeowners are getting concerned.”

There are two types of variable rate mortgages, experts say, one is a variable-rate fixed-payment mortgage, the other an adjustable-rate mortgage — a “floating” payment that rises and falls with changes in the prime rate.

Homeowners with a variable-rate fixed-payment are in a riskier position during a high-interest-rate period, experts say, because they are seeing a greater percentage of their monthly payment go toward interest and not principal — and for a longer period of time.

“A month ago I came across someone with an 87-year amortization,” said mortgage broker Mary Sialtsis. “That’s a problem. Even if they like having their mortgage payment stay the same it’s still being adjusted because now they’re paying much less principal and are more in debt.”
It’s important to note, said Sialtsis, that major banks aren’t handing out 90-year mortgages when people first buy a home; the changing amortization period is only happening on existing variable-rate fixed-payment mortgages.

“The major banks that offer this product aren’t extending the amortizations by choice,” she said. “It’s just how the product works. It changes automatically in their system.”
“A month ago I came across someone with an 87-year amortization,” said mortgage broker Mary Sialtsis.
“We’ve seen 60 years, 70 years, and we did see someone with 90 years,” said mortgage broker Ron Butler.

I was not aware Canada was looking into introducing selfdom as an option for mortgages. The family heirloom shall be the mortgage bills.

Europeans had serfdom for millennia since Roman times. They're going back to their glorious traditions.

I predict soon people will be allowed to sell themselves into slavery and debtors prisons will be back.

It's hopeless man.

1. I agree, it is hopeless.

2. This hopelessness, on how the West especially America, can take on China, is completely hopeless, they cannot turn it around.


3. Going off-topic, just slightly, this hopelessness is more far reaching than it is understood, at least in my opinion.

The only two examples we need to demonstrate that, is the economy and the technology.

The Chinese economy is still in a boom. That is this growth is a growth driver for other countries. In short, Chinese economic dynamism is transferred over to other countries via trade.

The Chinese tech of 5G and cheaper tech because China makes it, not only transforms China, it will transform other countries to buy and use Chinese tech. In short, Chinese technology dynamism is transfer over to other countries via the same trade.


4. That is why it is so hopeless for the West now in the current struggle against China. All they can do is play toy solider and say they got more of that (size of this whatever), which is besides the point. Western economies are barely growing at all. Where is the economic dynamism? China is the biggest exporter of high tech goods by a obscene margin over others. The tech dynamism is being pushed by China in other countries.

The West does not have this economic dynamism, nor does it have this tech dynamism like once did. That is why it is hopeless, because they do not even realize they lost their mojo.

Maybe if they get their act together, the West would have a better chance later in the future, but they cannot get their act together.


It is all talk about de-coupling, re-shoring, de-risking. What about better economic growth and a reinvigorated tech sector?

The former, (and current Biden policies), will not revive Western economic or technological dynamism. The latter gives it a chance.


But the latter, is not really being attempted. In Europe, the German economy is de-industrializing, and in the United States, they got some debt issues, and their tech is expensive (which is a major point because their competitor can provide the same for better prices).

The dynamism that China posses in economy and technology, the West cannot duplicate at the moment. Does not matter if they play toy soldier saying I got this much, there still is no dynamism.

The West will not even acknowledge to themselves they no long have the dynamism in economy and technology. That is why it is truly hopeless.

They have no idea what they are up against.

This is a full complete and utter victory of Gordon Chang Thought. Hail!

:D:p
