Online Class Notes (Tibo)

I tried to use all the relationship I could find and tried to reach the governor of SH.
It took a long time. Over 6 months.

The head of PR of my company is a friend of the local governor of Xuhui district.
He gave me a lot of help. / he did me a favor

It was the biggest issue when considering to relocate

Once we solved the problem we immediately moved to SH.

I travelled a year over the several years and I also lived in SH in 2011
Pudong is the financial center so I worked there.

They love the weather and the air.
The air in BJ is dry so they always get a cough in autumn or winter

We only got 1 little problem. My company is Songjiang.

I didn’t have any class in the last 2 months

I hardly use English in my daily life so it is a little bit difficult to continue to keep the willingness to study English / to stay motivated

I disagree with what they did.
I still want my daughter to take extra classes after school.
I think those lectures are very important and a key part of the education system.

It is a tool to know and understand what happens around the world.

They should study English when they are young

They were too brutal. They did not consider any demand of the education industry
Maybe they want to reduce the pressure on families but what they did was too brutal.

The population problem is a serious problem. The birth rate of China is around 1.3
We should have adopted / implemented that policy earlier

Data shows the 1 child policy has limited the growth of the population of China.

Some departments tried to bury the data

If we don’t keep the policy the department would be useless -> if we hadn’t kept the policy it would have been useless . (3rd conditional)

There will be a big crisis. The company is too big and it has too much debt.

I am not sure if the government will find measures to control the crisis or solve the problem.

It is hard to bail them out. Maybe it is wise to let the company go bankrupt but they have to make sure the houses which were not finished will be finished in the future so that the people who have bought the houses can have a real house / they have to make sure the houses are delivered to the buyers otherwise it will be a serious social crisis.

To prevent the problem from getting bigger and bigger / from getting out of hands

Theoretically  / in theory it could.
They have tools to control prevent / soften the crisis

Alipay is a challenge to the whole financial system of China.
Jack Ma gave a very controversial speech.
Now they take measure to reduce the power of the internet company.
That will be a 5-10 year trend.

Now things go to the opposite direction, it is a new phase

I still think crypto is the future. It is a challenge to the system for all the currencies or financial systems of the world.
It will also challenges the dollar.  All the governments in the world take measures to control it but however the tech cannot be controlled / destroyed.

A lot of companies think the metaverse will be the ultimate frontier.

Any product related to the metaverse will easily raise capital.
The product was not mature / didn’t offer a good user experience
