Re Richard’s post. Absolutely spot on re the manipulation of the markets. I’m convinced that Trump is using his position as the ultimate in “insider” trading.
As for life in China, my sister in law and her husband were living there for 10 years, only returning 18 months ago. They were working in International schools in Guangzhou and then Shanghai, so pretty insulated for the most part, but on the whole a very positive experience despite being subject to a very lengthy and onerous lockdown during Covid.
