A China that exports (export volumes are up over 12% y/y) yet doesn't import (import volumes are now close to flat) is creating trade frictions with the developing world too, per the WSJ 1/

Ditto.
I teach a 3-week course every summer for high-schoolers (as part of @GenWise_'s summer camp) and I end up teaching more than an entire undergraduate course.
Just checked! Sadly, 0 times. If you want to cheat and string-match, then it appears 6 times (each time the complete phrase was "the lemon/s"). Wodehouse uses the word "lemon" 66 times in his corpus. The closest thing I could find was "his lemon" in Chp 11 of Leave It to Psmith.
Magnificent. Worth reading carefully multiple times.
A Chance to Build Silicon Valley has always been deeply integrated with Asia; Trump's attempt to change trade could hurt Silicon Valley more than expected, and also present opportunities to build something new. stratechery.com/2024/a-chance-…
There was a merchant in Baghdad who sent his servant to market to buy provisions and in a little while the servant came back, white and trembling, and said, Master, just now when I was in the marketplace I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned I saw it was Death…

When writers fall for non-readers: A first attempt with Hindi.
Ever since I started writing the #TruthLiesandStatistics column, I have been waiting to write a positive take on India's statistical establishment. That opportunity finally arrived! My latest column talks about what has changed, and what still remains to be done:
Hajjar agreed. Going to college matters, because you're getting (at least) three different things out of it. econforeverybody.com/2020/03/12/sig…
In India, if you have the option to go to college, and choose not to, you are making a mistake. It might not matter someday, but we aren’t there yet. College may not teach you much, but the degree opens doors. Sometimes because of the network, other times because of the added…
Goodhart's Law states that when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.
From the incredible blog Chinese DoomScroll: If you ever see a disaster in China where exactly 35 people die, it's because 36+ means the mayor gets fired. It's fascinating in a horrifying way how authoritarian systems always develop their own unique post-truth quirks.

MOOCs never took off, as far as I can tell, and yet long-form podcasts are shaping the nation.
In 1924, John Maynard Keynes wrote an obituary essay for his teacher Alfred Marshall. What does the essay mean 100 years later? My piece in FE today.
Dravid's famous email to KP to help him play left arm spin. The entire Indian batting line up needs to take a print and stick it to their kitbags.
