The World Economic Forum and Our Future

For John, BLUF:  There are a lot of concepts being presented for managing world affairs, which really all break down into oligarchies running the world.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

World Economic Forum chair Klaus Schwab declares on Chinese state TV:  'China is a model for many nations'

Here is the sub-headline:

Schwab praised China's achievements at modernization since the late 1970s

From Fox News, by Bradford Betz, 23 November 2022 7:58pm EST.

Here is the lede plus four:

World Economic Forum founder and Chair Klaus Schwab recently sat down for an interview with a Chinese state media outlet and proclaimed that China was a "role model" for other nations.

Schwab, 84, made these comments during an interview with CGTN’s Tian Wei on the sidelines of last week’s APEC CEO Summit in Bangkok, Thailand.

Schwab said he respected China’s "tremendous" achievements at modernizing its economy over the last 40 years.

"I think it’s a role model for many countries," Schwab said, before qualifying that he thinks each country should make its own decisions about what system it wants to adapt.

"I think we should be very careful in imposing systems.  But the Chinese model is certainly a very attractive model for quite a number of countries," Schwab said.

One wonders if Mr Schwab (WEF) is an advocste for ESG (environmental, social and governance) scoring for what he calls stakeholder capitalism?  One further wonders if he sees an equivelance with China's Social Credit System.

This line of thinking sometimes comes under the heading of The Great Reset.

For those of us who believe in individuaal freedom and the ability of peopl3e to rise or fall within their locl hierarchy, who believe in providing opportunities for the best to flourish, the idea of Mr Klaus Schwab and of Xi Jinping should be frightening.  They are about taking away individual autonomy and forcing conformance to the views of the State.
