Beijing is forcing the $120 bln private tutoring industry to turn non-profit. It wants fintech companies to share data with state institutions for token equity stakes, and charge banks less for loan origination. Health care could be next:

Every time you buy a plane ticket, you are RENTING from an airline, and *literally* throwing away money.
With interest rates so low, there is no good reason not to buy your first plane and build equity. #Planeowership is an investment and a lifestyle.

Huge increase in savings has got lots of attention but note that the increase in wealth driven by rising asset prices is MUCH bigger. This again fits the pre-crisis pattern. The lesson for policy makers? The old view of wealth as being the stock of income/saving flows is nonsense
But the second effect is even bigger: asset price rises have seen the wealth of those who already had some surge in value. For the UK that is mainly about housing but elsewhere (e.g US) shares have also boomed

The CCP at 100: The Party has never been so popular at home or resented abroad, as economic recovery empowers an aristocracy of xenophobes. This elite has an iron grip but few new ideas, instead recycling old ones, like trade zones - and purges. My view:
