told people YEARS ago that China was enacting REAL strategy, & it's still true, now.
( the fact that Chinese corruption undermines their country, & the party-rule system is intrinsically-corrupt, are side-issues.
The fact that their Belt & Road program has been mopping-up opportunity, while the West has been playing petty wrestling-matches over feelings, is going to be costing us our lives, soon. )

You've just proven that for you only the "cover image" is sufficient for judging the book.

Not only I wouldn't be surprised if it was his idea, outright,
I'd be surprised if any other person in the entire Liberal party had anywhere near the international-financial fight-smarts that he's got.
Experience-induced-understanding & experience-formed-instincts are Kahneman1-mind ( lower forebrain ), so they are programmed in through seas of imprinting..
It's like the difference between someone who has the idea of martial-arts going up against somebody who actually-trained for decades: the difference-in-effectiveness is significant.
I know the everybody-the-same socialist-idealists have a religious-problem with Carney because of his career, & his being rich compared with us, but .. real competence isn't in everybody, & if the reward-system doesn't reward excellence/accomplishment, .. then it won't produce that.
The reward-system in Communist countries rewards non-responsible, non-accountable, party-authority, right?
& that is the result it produces.
I expect diversity-of-intelligence, diversity-of-experience, diversity-of-potential to produce outliers, if the "market" of individual-human-development is working right
( unlike the naive-socialists & the communists, who hold that it isn't equal-validity among diverse people that we have, rather it is identicality we supposedly have .. or the fascists, for that matter, with their "supremacist" delusion disallowing all other peoples from having potential/validity of their own.. )
He's got exactly the kind of trained-instinct needed in this situation.
We don't.
We need him, now.
( exactly as we needed Jack Layton, but only Quebec understood that, & then we lost they guy..
.. sigh ..
Minority-governments with the right leader can do awesome good!
Majority-governments .. that's when we need Journalism-with-teeth, to make them more accountable, like minority-gov'ts are, right? : )
( too damn bad the other federal parties are either corrupt ( the right ) or foolish ( the NDP's weird mixture of accuracy & delusional-idealism ) .. Canada's nearly-bankrupt, thanks to the Liberal Party's last few decades ( a male version of Kathleen Wynn's government, has Justin Trudeau been? ), & if we go bankrupt, then we ARE annexed by Trump, helplessly.
We absolutely cannot afford any more financial mismanagement from the feds.

What is coming is the 2nd Depression, not a mere recession.
I don't know when it is hitting, with Trump being fueled by destructive-chaos itself, but the economic-bubble we've been living-in HAS to pop, & when it does, it'll take 3y to bottom-out, & when that happens, Trump is going to use that economic-hardship to finish eradicating the Constitution from the US of A's real law.
the plummet begins sometime this-year, I've been expecting it for months & months..
but which Trum possessing the US it simply can't be delayed much longer..
so the 3y bottom-out of the global economy happens in 2028, when Trump needs it to happen, for his finishing his highjacking of the US.
seems to give the right gist of it..
Essentially, IF you have an economy in-which there are 1M people & 1B dollars, & 1-day's food costs $2,
BUT you then double the amount of money in the economy,
THEN suddenly 1-day's food costs the same fraction of the total-amount-of-money-in-the-economy, but the number-of-dollars changes, because the relative-value of each dollar has been diluted,
so what had cost $2 / day for food, NOW it costs $4 / day for food.
Inflation.
I've read that the total quantitative-easing done during the Biden years amounts to multiplying the amount of US-dollars by 10x.
Which means that each $ should now be worth only 1/10th of what it did at the beginning.
but it has been "held back" by many many many players..
Market-correction has to happen, sooner or later.
All the bogosity in our economy cannot self-sustain perpetually.
Unfortunately, the longer that actuality is fought-off, the greater the hardship when it bites.
So, .. probably famines, for many populations, in poorer areas..
Humankind's choice, obviously..
As was pointed-out in the original Depression:
you can't start any business because there's no credit available.
You can't get credit existing, because there's no businesses being started.
Catch-22.

& yes, I know that Islamists & Zionists are now competing to represent ideological-rabies through butchery-of-others, but the Zionists definitely are winning, according to rather alot of evidences, including the most-successful extermination-campaign against journalists waged since Hitler/Stalin..
China simply doesn't provide reliable statistics, and they apparently had an actual quota system for executions ( like 10k/y, to feed the medical-tourism industry, a few years ago, was what reports were saying )
Do those executions count in these statistics?
Apparently not..
Only formal executions count?
I don't accept that only "formal" executions really are executions.

Trump & Putin are committed to DESTROYING the hated EU between a pincer of Putin + butchered-Eastern-Europe & Trump + butchered Canada & Greenland.
THEN they get to be the only "kings" ruling the remains of the West, until they die.
They're narcissist-nihilists, as all "mass shooters" are: they're just committing their "mass shooting" through legislations, & hitting entire populations with what they're firing, legislatively.
Pay attention to the fact that the woke EU is competing against both of them for world-significance AND doing-so with anti-Putin/Trump values.
Canada & Greenland stand in the way, that is all, except for the wealth that Trump would gain, through claiming it as his new-possession of the US.
Destroying the EU, though, that'd be "priceless" to them..
No more competitor!!
So, the fascists can make civilization "dance to their tune" even without actually doing anything..
Which demonstrates that they have been allowed too-much power, already.

IF you're using Google, then it's probably systematic algorithmic-bubble:
I saw some article which showed what Google was showing different people, for the same search, and it was sickening how polarized the extremes were through Google.
I now use DuckDuckGo.com unless it simply isn't finding what I'm trying to find, & only then do I cross over to the machiavellian-search side, for a search's results..
Algorithmically-enforced polarization of humakind, into the only-ideological-terrorism-REMAINS .. extreme .. is certain, now, for this world.
But at-least money will have been made, while contributing to the extermination of this world's people, so there's that, I guess..
/s
bitter sarcasm, at that..
Intentionally enforcing ideological-polarization is contributing to genociding.
& ought be dealt-with exactly as such.

He's worked himself into a corner, & he HAS to have the spine to carry-through his economic-mass-shooting, now.
it takes 3y, btw, to get to the true-rock-bottom of a Great Depression,
so that should be in 2028, just in time for him to invoke "emergency measures" & remove the Constitution, so he can't be removed as dictator, anymore..
Psychological-reconfiguration takes time .. & that is significant, both in the changes that got him here, & also in the changes from here to where much of the West is butchered
( he wants to destroy the EU in a pincer between Putin & continental-Trump: that is why he requires both Canada & Greenland's annexation.
Also, once he's got Greenland, he can confiscate all trade to Canada, & break Canada quicker.
This is "being taken to the secondary-crime-scene" territory we're in, & politicians are not understanding this.
IF Canada still stands, when Trump falls, in 2031-ish, THEN I expect the total death-toll in the North American War to have been .. possibly 300,000,000?
That's early-next-decade, though. )

There is a direct powerlaw relationship between CO2 & Earth's stabilization-temperature..
There's a gotcha, though:
Methane is about 82.5x as potent as CO2, at the 20y scale, & it's up, too..
Remember that scientific-paper which was held-back/suppressed until sooo many had vetted the math, that then it was allowed to be, but was attacked by many, yet-still?
It stated simply that methane lost through leaky shipping ( of methane ), etc, was sooo harmful, that there wasn't any way of justifying continued methane-usage..
The current planetary-equalization-temperature, given the chemical composition of the atmosphere, is over +8C.
All the models which contradict that, & which simultaneously contradict the actual MEASURED temperatures in the still-accelerating punctuation-between-temperate-planet-and-hot-planet-equlibrium-climates, are wrong, no matter how "politically established" they are.
Feynman was right: "the exception proves the model/rule/theory IS WRONG."
At +4C, India becomes mostly-uninhabitable. China has ZERO problem with that.
California, & Texas, & Saudi Arabia also become nearly-entirely uninhabitable ( think 50+C temperatures, throughout most, in the hottest summer days ).
+9C is where we're currently anchoring onto, and at this point it's just nihilism ruling the world, lording the final "days" over the subjects-of-the-"titanic" regime, narcissistic authority-over-others, consuming all they can, while crashing the world-"ship"..
Saudi Arabia, obviously, will simply take whatever other-territory it needs: it is a kingdom, not a civil-rights regime.
Who will Texas war against, to take territory permanently from them, when Texas is becoming uninhabitable?
Somebody, certainly..
Whom will the US of A take/destroy/possess, when climate-punctuation is forcing them from their established location? Canada.
Do you see part of why Trump is committed to butchering Canada from Canadians, now? It's actually a SURVIVAL OF THE US strategy, though that isn't his personal motivation: he just wants to be ruler of a continental-empire, then butcher the hated woke-EU, with Putin, so they can rule the entire West, unfettered..
Criminally-negligent own-species-icide, is what humankind's doing.. for sake of .. distractions, ideologies, & other "political" drugs/delusions..
===
Here is the paper which ignores the methane, including only the CO2 ( of the part that I read, of it, at least.. )
https://www.nature.com/articles/nature19798
Adding-in the methane puts planetary-equlibrium-temperature, on the numbers I ran a year or 2 ago, between +8 & +9C.
Now, of course, the numbers are worse..

.. shruggeth ..
EITHER a portion of humankind is going to evolve, fast, relentlessly, drivenly, for most of this century,
XOR The Great Filter will force-extinguish this world's human-category kind from Universe.
I believe that that same species-"puberty", aka The Great Filter, controls ALL such populated-worlds, forcing maturation-or-extinguishment on every last one. Given the ratio ( who WON'T tolerate change/growing-up, and if it means killing the world, then they're going to at-least be the rulers of the destruction-of-our-world, breaking evolution from having its transforming our world, .. vs .. all who honestly-will evolve, no matter what it costs us ) on this world, I'd be surprised if more than a small percentage of worlds which reach the Industrial Revolutions survives the subsequent Great Filter..
when .. when adult-technology combines with animal/tribal/political population who now utterly-dominates their own ecology:
in the previous condition, nature always recovered, this unconscious-assumption is sooo ingrained, that unconscious-mind WON'T ALLOW that consequences/accountability COULD EVER touch it, .. & it's willing to kill the entire world, to prove that it "doesn't have to" grow-up/change: unconscious-ego, is "god", in its own "reality"..

If nothing-else, it certainly is educational to be caught in a world that is devoutly deranged, ideological, rejecting empiricism for "religious" ( political ) reasons, even to the point of everybody must die..
good motivation to break the reincarnation-prison that "life" is, the perpetual cycle of getting-caught-in-messes, life after life after life..
Not compatible with the New Age religions, that view, obviously..
but when you're on a bus being driven by a murderous gang of drunks, & you can't break their control of the vehicle, then crashing is inevitable..
one becomes tired of reincarnation, after it has abused one enough..
The Nature paper's the single most-important document in the whole climate-issue: powerlaws rule nature, & discovering what the powerlaw is that relates atmospheric-CO2 to planetary-equilibrium-temperature discards all the bullshit-models ( seriously: leaving-out Greenland ice-melt until the 2020's, & wondering why there's "The Cold Blob" all around Greenland, & why the oceanic-predictions don't work right.. that isn't science, that is politics! ),
but until the methane also is included, even this paper/model is mis-assessing, significantly.
The more people who get the underlying-powerlaw, who get the law ruling this planet's punctuation-between-temperate-to-hot-climate, which has only begun, the better.
The stuff about reincarnation, .. it was reincarnation-memories which broke all the Abrahamic-religions, for me: evidence broke the ideology of those religions, falsifying them all.
Took years to adapt-to, so-great a worldview-change.. but changing one's worldview when evidence falsified it, that is Science.
I'm only leaving the re-incarnation stuff in, because among White culture, such truth isn't usually spoken, & if anyone needs that perspective, to break the assumptions/ideology of Western habitual belief, then maybe just seeing a different perspective will give them some leverage, so they can then do their own learning, on their own, through the meditation-experiments, the inner-yoga experiments, the deepening-of-one's-Self, until ego is dissolving, & Soul/Continuum is awakening..
Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, eh?
