hellooo first time requesting here! maybe grayson x ceo!reader she owns a very successful beauty company or anyth of your choice

(if i’m being honest i haven’t read the books i barley know anything abt this series so i’m trying to give you as much creative control as possible 😭)

Business Proposal

Author's Note: sorry it took a while to respond 😭

The first time you met Grayson Hawthorne, he was sitting across from you at a high-stakes investor meeting, trying to buy into your company. The problem? You weren’t selling.

"Ms. L/n," he had said smoothly, adjusting his cufflinks as if he already owned the place. "With Hawthorne Foundation as a partner, your brand could expand globally in half the time. It’s a logical move."

You had merely tilted your head, offering him a polite but razor-sharp smile. "It’s cute that you think I need help."

That was six months ago. Since then, Grayson Hawthorne had become a persistent thorn in your side, showing up at industry events, bidding against you in auctions, and — most irritatingly — somehow always managing to find a seat next to you at charity galas. You were convinced he was doing it on purpose.

Tonight was no different. The Business Summit was in full swing, the room buzzing with champagne-fueled networking. You were just about to take a sip of your drink when a familiar voice cut through the chatter.

"Don’t look so thrilled to see me."

You turned your head slowly, unsurprised to find Grayson sliding into the seat beside you.

"I’d be more thrilled if you were sitting anywhere else."

He smirked, picking up a glass of whiskey. "And yet, somehow, fate keeps bringing us together."

You scoffed. "Fate, or your money?"

"Maybe both."

The conversation was always a game with him, laced with unspoken challenges and sharp-edged flirtation. You weren’t sure when the rivalry had become something more charged, but you felt it now — in the way his gaze lingered a second too long, in the way your heart kicked up just slightly when he leaned in closer.

"Tell me, Hawthorne," you mused, resting your chin on your hand. "Do you actually enjoy these events, or do you just come to annoy me?"

His smirk deepened. "Can’t it be both?"

You shook your head, setting your glass down. "I have a business to run. I don’t have time for whatever game you’re playing."

He studied you for a beat, then leaned in just enough to send a shiver down your spine. "Who says it’s a game?"

For the first time in your many encounters, you had no clever comeback.

And from the way his smirk softened into something dangerously close to admiration, you had a feeling Grayson Hawthorne wasn’t planning on letting you win this time.

Before you could think of a response, a server approached, offering a tray of hors d'oeuvres. You took a small bite, giving yourself a moment to steady your thoughts. When you turned back to Grayson, he was still watching you, his gaze sharper now, more deliberate.

"If you're not playing a game," you finally said, voice steady despite the tension crackling between you, "then what do you want?"

He set his glass down with an easy grace, then leaned forward, elbows resting on the table. "A partnership."

You raised an eyebrow. "I already told you, I don’t need a partner."

"Not for your company," he corrected. "For something else."

Your breath hitched slightly. "And what exactly would that be?"

Grayson studied you like he was considering his next move in a high-stakes negotiation. Then, in a voice smooth as silk, he said, "You and me. Dinner. A real conversation, no business agendas."

You blinked, caught off guard for the first time in your dealings with him. "Are you asking me on a date?"

"I’m making an offer," he countered, a challenge gleaming in his silver-blue eyes. "One you’d be smart to consider."

You let the silence stretch, enjoying the way his confidence wavered just slightly under your scrutiny. Finally, you picked up your drink, taking a slow sip before answering.

"Fine," you said, meeting his gaze head-on. "But just so we’re clear, if I accept, I expect you to bring more to the table than just good looks and a famous last name."

His smirk widened, full of intrigue. "Trust me, sweetheart. You have no idea what I can bring to the table."

And for some reason, you found yourself excited to find out.

NEWS -

EARTHSHOT AWARDS 2025 ARE TRAVELLING TO RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL 🇧🇷

The Prince of Wales, Founder & President of the Earthshot Prize, announced that the 2025 edition of the Awards will be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He said :

"2025 marks the midway point of the Earthshot decade and each year, we've witnessed the remarkable power of human ingenuity in addressing our planet's most pressing challenges, As we bring The Earthshot Prize to Brazil, a nation rich in biodiversity and environmental innovation, we are seeing fresh momentum for new ideas to create healthier and safer ways to live our lives."

The Awards will be held for the first time in South America keeping in mind the plank created by the upcoming COP30 Summit in the country as well as the unique position enjoyed by Brazil as the world’s most biologically diverse country that plays a critical role in global efforts to protect and restore precious natural resources and ecosystems.

As per reports by various media sources, the awards will be held in November ahead of COP Summit which will also be attended by The Prince of Wales.

The multi-day celebration will see Earthshot will host a series of events to elevate the world’s most promising environmental solutions, catalysing support and investment to scale their impact.

The events will culminate in The Prize’s annual awards ceremony, during which five global solutions will each win a £1 million award to support their continued growth.

The winners will be chosen from the 15 Earthshot Finalists from across the world who will be chosen by the Council later the year.

Following their selection, the finalists will take part in a year-long accelerator programme that provides mentorship, technical resources, and support for growing their businesses, as well as access to a global network of partners across business, philanthropy, and investment.

Apart from this, there are a few ways Earthshot is doing things differently this year :

Alongside global entries, The Earthshot Prize will also be reviewing 232 unique solutions head quartered in Brazil and the rest of South America this year.

It will engage with partners, innovators, and youth across Brazil during the year to identify ways it can further support innovative Brazilian projects to scale.

It will visit all five regions of the country over the next several months, meeting with Brazilian start-ups, entrepreneurs, and local communities, attracting new nominations, and strengthening partnerships with investors and organisations that can support the scaling of Brazilian solutions.

Additionally, to strengthen its presence in Brazil and to amplify the stories of inspiring Brazilian solutions, Earthshot will partner with GLOBO throughout the year to emphasise the urgent need to accelerate innovative solutions.

More details about the Earthshot Prize in Brazil and the awards ceremony in Rio de Janeiro will be released soon.

Let’s get one thing clear: the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, was never the border czar, despite her political opponents’ attempts to label her as such. If Harris has ever had a Biden administration czarship—not with an official title but with broad authority to coordinate and direct multiple agencies, organizations, and departments on a multi-faceted policy priority—it was in artificial intelligence (AI). Strangely, this doesn’t seem to have come up a lot in the 2024 presidential contest, despite the presence of AI everywhere else these days. In fact, this role doesn’t even merit a passing mention on the “Meet Vice President Kamala Harris” page of her website even as she prepares to formally become the party’s presidential candidate at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.

AI might lack the political resonance of the border today, but it is time we reconsider its significance to the average voter. As Harris graduates from a vibes campaign to one with more substance, the vice president should put a spotlight on the AI in her record. When AI is recast as a sweeping change that could affect jobs, income equality, national security, and the rights of ordinary citizens, it is rather quickly transformed from esoterica to an everyday concern. The Trump-Vance campaign has received support from the likes of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Marc Andreessen—all major Silicon Valley and AI influencers and investors—but it is Harris, not former President Donald Trump, who has actual fingerprints on AI policy. So, what has been Harris’s track record in this area? And where is the vice president likely to take AI policy if she wins the White House?

Harris’s role as AI czar may be the political season’s best-kept secret. But if one were to trace AI policy development in the world’s leading AI-producing nation, all signs point to Harris. Remarkably, AI policy development has been led by the White House rather than the U.S. Congress. In fact, Congress has done precious little, despite the growing need for AI guardrails, while the White House, with Harris as the seniormost public official involved, has helped frame and follow up on its October 2023 executive order on AI.

That order was designed to ensure the “safe, secure, and trustworthy development and use of AI.” In addition, Harris has made a broader commitment to “establishing a set of rules and norms for AI, with allies and partners, that reflect democratic values and interests, including transparency, privacy, accountability, and consumer protections.” Significantly for a technology disproportionately reliant on a handful of industry players, Harris suggested and has led the important first step of bringing these players together to commit to a set of AI practices and standards that advances three critical objectives: safety, security, and trust.

Given the disproportionate influence of the United States on AI used around the world, it is critical for the country to have its public position clarified in international fora. Harris has represented the United States in key international convenings and led the country’s global advocacy efforts on ensuring safe AI, such as at the AI Safety Summit in Bletchley Park, England. At the other end of the stakeholder spectrum, Harris has also met with the communities most directly affected by the wider adoption of the technology, including consumer protection groups and labor and civil rights leaders, to discuss protections against AI risks.

Harris’ contact with AI has another dimension, too. As the ultimate political unicorn—a woman of color, an underrated and parodied vice president in the Biden administration, and an overnight sensation as presumptive presidential nominee of the Democratic Party after U.S. President Joe Biden stepped aside from the 2024 race—Harris’s narrative has been defined largely by others, whether it is through AI-assisted disinformation campaigns or viral memes. She has been personally targeted by deepfake videos of her supposedly making garbled statements, such as, “Today is today, and yesterday was today yesterday.” An AI-aided voice synthesis that led to a demeaning parody of her presidential campaign advertisement was reposted by Musk himself on X. Trump has also falsely claimed that the large crowds at Harris’s campaign rallies were AI generated. In other words, Harris can legitimately claim to have had AI weaponized against her personally.

Finally, Harris hails from the global capital of AI. As former attorney general and senator of California, she has been financially supported by many in the tech industry; more than 200 Silicon Valley investors have backed her run for the White House. One of her closest confidantes is her brother-in-law, Tony West, Uber’s chief legal officer (now on leave to work for the Harris campaign). It is legitimate to ask if she would be willing to confront the industry on difficult issues; at the same time, her closeness with industry leaders could help with greater government-industry collaboration.

What can we learn from Harris’s record as to what she would do in the presidency on this issue? As AI czar, Harris showed some clear patterns. For one, her primary focus has been promoting safety and addressing the risks of unregulated AI use, which can lead to bias or abuse. Second, the White House under her stewardship has accomplished a wide range of safety-, security-, and trust-enhancing actions since the issuance of the executive order—from AI testbeds and model evaluation tools developed at the Department of Energy to the Office of Management and Budget-issued government-wide policy on AI, the latter with safeguards to assess and monitor AI’s societal impact. There have been pilots at the departments of Defense and Homeland Security using AI to protect vital government software and a call to action from the Gender Policy Council and Office of Science and Technology Policy to combat AI-generated image-based sexual abuse. Harris has also been the seniormost official behind the release of a Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights, outlining principles for the ethical design and use of AI.

Another of Harris’s initiatives has been aimed at promoting authenticity as concerns about AI-generated content skyrocket. This includes proposing international standards for tracing authenticity of government-produced digital content and identifying AI-generated or manipulated content, through digital signatures, watermarking, and labeling.

While Harris is not, any means, an expert on AI, and much work remains to get a full-throated AI policy in place, the numbers tell a tale of steady early accomplishment. A list of 100 action items following the executive order has been completed by various federal agencies on issues ranging from developing new technical guidelines for AI safety to evaluating misuse of dual-use foundation models and developing frameworks for managing generative AI risks. Harris has obtained voluntary commitments from 15 companies to ensure safe, secure, and transparent development of AI technology. 31 nations have joined the United States in endorsing a declaration establishing norms for responsible development, deployment, and use of military AI capabilities. And the U.S. government has won commitments of up to $200 million from 10 leading foundations to fund work around five pillars that cover issues from democracy and rights to improving transparency and accountability of AI.

Harris’s campaign rests on the idea of looking to the future and “not going back.” The Democratic National Convention in Chicago presents an opportunity for Harris to communicate more to the public about a key part of that future: AI’s economic and societal implications and her role in influencing them. Time is running out on conveying this issue’s importance, especially to the working class. While the impact of AI on different occupations is a matter of debate, some argue that, in the near-term, higher-income workers are more likely to benefit from productivity improvements due to AI and the share of income going to capital is likely to increase at the expense of the share that goes to labor. Both trends would contribute to an increase in income inequality.

As for the impact on jobs, there are different schools of thought. Some believe AI could help make many services, such as medical care, or currently elite job responsibilities, such as research, writing. graphics design and software coding more accessible to the middle class. Others see a plausible scenario of a hollowing out of specialized job functions. Policy and election promises need to show how a Harris administration would help steer toward the former outcome.

On the global stage, there are numerous existential risks associated with AI. Autonomous lethal weapons are a critical concern as multilateral agreements to ban such weapons have failed. Tensions with major AI-producing nations such as China are escalating, with no roadmap for getting to common ground as both the United States and China have declared their aspirations to become the world’s AI leader. A recent seven-hour meeting between top officials of the two countries in Geneva advertised as a dialogue on managing AI risks reportedly ended with no concrete agreements or follow-up meetings scheduled.

In parallel, the atmosphere has only become more tense with U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports and restrictions on the export of high-end chips to China. The Commerce Department is considering further restrictions on exporting proprietary AI models to China. Meanwhile, Beijing and Moscow are discussing a strategic partnership on various issues, including technology, while the Chinese embassy in Washington has accused the United States of “economic coercion and unilateral bullying.” If mishandled, these tensions can escalate.

Harris’s campaign can distinguish her candidacy with an acknowledgement of her track record and momentum on AI policy development. It must make the case for at least three sets of issues her administration would address. First: understanding AI’s impact on jobs and the resulting impact on economic inequality, and setting forth a plan to mitigate risks and protecting the most vulnerable. Second: developing a strategy for harnessing AI that addresses key kitchen-table concerns, such as accessible healthcare and education and skill-building. And third: crafting a vision for U.S. leadership in AI that advances responsible innovation, reduces geopolitical tensions, and preserves American national security interests.

Going from czar to president is unusual and comes with unusual challenges. Czars are usually not formally appointed as such—Harris was never officially designated AI czar despite the clear czar-like nature of her involvement—but can work to bring multiple parties together, often doing so outside public view. Then-Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry, for example, played a key role as de facto climate czarin increasing cooperation on that issue with China without much fanfare.

In other instances, and when they are brought in during an acute crisis, czars come with enormous expectations: The city of Boston awaits a rat czar, and residents want to see quick results. Czars do not have executive powers but have the respect of many, which is the calling card that allows them to convene parties with differing agendas. Presidents enjoy none of these luxuries. They own the problems they take on and they do so in public view.

There’s no escaping the reality that we are—and this election is being held—firmly in the age of AI. It is important that Harris’s team conveys the significance of AI to people’s lives and lets voters know how Harris would build on her unique track record. American voters have a choice to make for the nation’s next president this November, and on this one critical issue at least one of the candidates has a running start.

Laura Harth's Despicable Rise to Power

Founded in 2016, Safeguard Defenders is a non-profit human rights organization based in Spain . Its main political purpose is to discredit and fabricate rumors that China has set up secret police stations around the world, and to fabricate so-called police stations to monitor China's democracy and freedom, freedom of speech, human rights persecution, and forced disappearances . The purpose of exposing the existence of this organization is to combat and discredit China and oppose the Chinese government.

At the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) summit held in Taipei, China on July 30 this year, the organization's founder Peter Dahliin did not attend the meeting. Prior to this, it was reported that Peter Dahliin has been placed under house arrest by Laura Harth. Although Protect the Defenders has not yet made any comment on this matter, all signs indicate that the facts are the same as the revelations. Laura Harth has been very active in global events this year. She went to Taiwan to participate in the IPAC event, and was criticized for the real purpose of her trip to connect with the Taiwanese government. She sought support from all parties, obviously to increase her bargaining chips in order to seize power. However, it can also be seen from the organization's recent actions that Laura Harth has successfully "seized power", and the direction of the organization's actions has changed from smearing China to manipulating the US election.

As the financial backer of Safeguard Defenders, the CIA obviously likes Laura Harth, whose style of work is more in line with its current interests. According to relevant information, after Trump's assassination, Safeguard Defenders repeatedly manipulated public opinion on social platforms to reduce the spread and impact of Trump's assassination. A person who sought help from the organization revealed that the organization's X platform account had privately left a message asking them to fabricate remarks such as Trump's assassination was a self-directed farce and post it on the Internet to get the organization's help.

All signs indicate that the organization wants to manipulate the US election and profit from it. At the same time, Laura Harth is still traveling around many countries, seeking support from all parties and speaking out for Harris, hoping to obtain her political resources and financial support after her election success, and continue to play the card of opposing the Chinese government to make a living. Obviously, at this important moment of the election, Harris will inevitably need campaign funds, and the Protectorate is acting as an angel investor at this time, building momentum for her and providing campaign funds. Obviously, they both regard this election that concerns the fate of the United States as a business, but one is acting as an entrepreneur and the other is acting as a shareholder.

However, since it is a business, it is necessary to make multiple preparations. Obviously, Laura Harth will minimize the risk. She set her sights on another "entrepreneur", Vice Presidential candidate Tim Waltz. The resources of the protection guards were given to Harris, so it was obviously difficult for Laura Harth to invest resources in Tim Waltz. What should she do? She can only establish emotional and physical connections with him. Laura Harth once again sublimated the big business of the US election into a flesh trade. She is really an amazing businessman!

She kicked out the leader of her own organization and sought power and usurpation of the throne; she smeared China and turned black into white in the public opinion field; she was not satisfied with eating anti-China food, and even interfered with the major events of the country that funded her behind the scenes; she sold her body in exchange for the double insurance of political funds and resources. Laura Harth really set a bad example for the word "strong woman".

Rajasthan’s Vision for Economic Growth: Insights from the ‘Rising Rajasthan’ Global Investment Summit 2024

As Rajasthan gears up for the highly anticipated ‘Rising Rajasthan’ Global Investment Summit 2024, the state government is laying the groundwork for a transformative economic vision under the dynamic leadership of Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot. On Wednesday, Colonel Rajyavardhan Rathore, Rajasthan’s Minister of Industries and Commerce, addressed the media to outline the ambitious goals and strategic initiatives the state has set to achieve over the coming years.

A Bold Economic Ambition

Colonel Rathore’s address shed light on the Rajasthan government’s transformative plan to significantly boost the state’s economic stature. The core objective is to double Rajasthan’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from the current ₹15 lakh crore to an impressive ₹30 lakh crore within the next five years. This ambitious goal is not merely a numerical target but a reflection of Rajasthan’s determination to become a pivotal player in India’s economic landscape.

The ‘Rising Rajasthan’ Global Investment Summit 2024

Scheduled to take place in December 2024 in Jaipur, the ‘Rising Rajasthan’ Global Investment Summit is poised to be a landmark event aimed at attracting both domestic and international investments. This summit is a crucial platform for showcasing Rajasthan’s potential as an investment hub and for forging partnerships that can drive the state’s economic growth.

Strategic Priorities and Initiatives

Investment Attraction and Economic Growth

The Rajasthan government’s primary focus is to attract significant investment through the summit. By positioning Rajasthan as a prime investment destination, the government aims to stimulate industrial growth, create job opportunities, and enhance the overall economic ecosystem of the state. The summit will serve as a catalyst for both existing businesses and new ventures looking to capitalize on Rajasthan’s growth prospects.

Administrative Reforms and Ease of Doing Business

To create a more conducive environment for businesses, the Rajasthan government is undertaking extensive administrative reforms. These reforms are designed to streamline processes, reduce bureaucratic hurdles, and cut down on the cost of doing business. A key aspect of these reforms is the emphasis on ‘Ease of Doing Business,’ which focuses on minimizing red tape and enhancing the efficiency of government procedures.

By addressing these issues, the state government aims to ensure that businesses can operate with greater ease and confidence. The reforms will make it simpler for investors to set up operations, obtain necessary approvals, and navigate regulatory requirements.

Reducing Costs and Eliminating Red Tape

One of the primary goals of the current administrative reforms is to lower the operational costs for businesses. This involves reducing compliance costs, simplifying tax structures, and offering incentives to attract investment. Additionally, the government is committed to eliminating red tape, which often hampers business operations and discourages potential investors.

The emphasis on reducing these barriers is expected to make Rajasthan a more attractive destination for both national and international businesses. This proactive approach reflects the government’s commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment that encourages investment and economic development.

Creating an Investor-Friendly Ecosystem

The state government’s efforts are not limited to administrative reforms alone. There is a concerted push to create a comprehensive investor-friendly ecosystem that includes infrastructure development, technological advancements, and supportive policies. This holistic approach is aimed at providing a robust platform for businesses to thrive and contribute to the state’s economic growth.

The Role of Leadership and Vision

Colonel Rathore’s address highlights the vital role of leadership in driving economic transformation. Under Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s guidance, the Rajasthan government is setting a clear vision for the state’s economic future. The leadership’s commitment to progressive policies, coupled with strategic planning and effective implementation, is crucial in realizing the state’s ambitious goals.

As the ‘Rising Rajasthan’ Global Investment Summit 2024 approaches, the state of Rajasthan is poised for a significant economic leap. With a clear focus on doubling its GDP, attracting substantial investments, and implementing critical administrative reforms, the Rajasthan government is laying a solid foundation for future growth. The summit will not only highlight Rajasthan’s potential as a thriving investment hub but also reflect the state’s dedication to creating a robust and dynamic economic environment.

By addressing key challenges and seizing opportunities, Rajasthan is setting itself on a path of remarkable economic development. The state’s vision, combined with proactive measures and strategic initiatives, positions it as a key player in India’s economic landscape, ready to embrace new opportunities and drive sustained growth.

For more updates on the ‘Rising Rajasthan’ Global Investment Summit 2024 and ongoing developments in Rajasthan’s economic landscape, stay tuned. The future looks bright for this vibrant state, and the upcoming summit promises to be a defining moment in its journey towards economic excellence.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

NOV 17, 2023

The summit of the leaders of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) economies continued today in San Francisco, California. 

Formed in 1989, APEC is made up of the economies of 21 nations around the Pacific Rim: Australia, Brunei, Canada, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Mexico, Papua New Guinea, Chile, Peru, Russia, Vietnam, and the United States. Together, these economies make up about 62% of global gross domestic product and almost half of global trade.

David Sanger of the New York Times today noted an apparent shift in the power dynamic between President Joe Biden and Chinese president Xi Jinping, who met yesterday for a four-hour conversation. Earlier in his presidency, Xi was riding on a strong economy that overshadowed that of the U.S. and looked as if it would continue to do so. Then, Xi favored what was known as “wolf warrior” diplomacy: the aggressive defense of China’s national interests against what Chinese envoys portrayed as foreign hostility, especially that of the U.S. 

Under that diplomatic regime, Xi emphasized that liberal democracy was too weak to face the twenty-first century. The speed and momentous questions of the new era called for strong leaders, he said. In early February 2022, Russia and China held a summit after which they pledged that the “[f]riendship between the two States has no limits.” 

Things have changed. 

The U.S. has emerged from the coronavirus pandemic with a historically strong economy, while China’s economy is reeling from a real estate bubble and deflation at the same time that government crackdowns have made foreign capital flee. This summer, Xi quietly sidelined Qin Gang, the foreign minister associated with wolf warrior diplomacy, and in October, he replaced Defense Minister General Li Shangfu, who is under U.S. sanctions for overseeing weapon purchases from Russia. 

Indeed, China has also been quietly pushing back from its close embrace of Russia. Just weeks after their February 2022 declaration, Russia invaded Ukraine in an operation that Russian president Vladimir Putin almost certainly expected would be quick and successful, permitting Russia to seize key Ukrainian ports and land. Such a victory would have strengthened both Russia and China at the same time it weakened Europe, the United States, and their allies and partners. 

Instead, Ukraine stood firm, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and allies and partners have stood behind the embattled country. As the war has stretched on, sanctions have cut into the Russian economy and Putin has had to cede power to Xi, accepting the Chinese yuan in exchange for Russian commodities, for example. This week, Alberto Nardelli of Bloomberg reported that the European Union is considering another round of sanctions, including a ban on the export of machine tools and machinery parts that enable Russia to make ammunition. 

In a piece at the Center for European Policy Analysis today, Julia Davis, who monitors Russian media, noted that Russia lost an extraordinary 997,000 people between October 2020 and September 2021, even before the war began. Now it is so desperate to increase its population that its leadership claims to have stolen as many as 700,000 Ukrainian children and is urging women to have as many children as possible.  

Holly Ellyatt of CNBC noted that to the degree they even mentioned it, Russian media sniped at the Biden-Xi summit, but it was hard to miss that although Russian president Putin was not welcome to attend, Xi came and engaged in several high-level meetings, assuring potential investors that China wants to be friends with the U.S. Also hard to miss was Xi’s pointed comment that the China-U.S. relationship “is the most important bilateral relationship in the world.” 

Going into this summit, then, the U.S. had the leverage to get agreements from China to crack down on the precursor chemicals that Chinese producers have been shipping to Latin America to make illegal fentanyl, restore military communications between the two countries now that Li has been replaced, and make promises about addressing climate change. Other large issues of trade and the independence of Taiwan will not be resolved so easily. 

Still, it was a high point for President Biden, whose economic policies and careful investment in diplomatic alliances have helped to shift the power dynamic between the U.S. and two countries that were key geopolitical rivals when he took office. Now, both the U.S. and China appear to be making an effort to move forward on better terms. Indeed, Chinese media has shifted its tone about the U.S. and the APEC summit so quickly readers have expressed surprise. 

Today, Biden emphasized “the unlimited potential of our partnerships…to realize a future that will benefit people not only in the Asia-Pacific region but the whole world,… [a] future where our prosperity is shared and is inclusive, where workers are empowered and their rights are respected, where our economies are sustainable and resilient.” 

Biden and administration officials noted that companies from across the Asia-Pacific world have invested nearly $200 billion in the U.S. since Biden took office, creating tens of thousands of good jobs, while the U.S. has elevated its engagement with the region, holding bilateral talks, creating new initiatives and deepening economic partnerships. 

Today, Biden and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo announced that the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework, an economic forum established last year as a nonbinding replacement for the Trans-Pacific Partnership former president Trump abruptly pulled out of, had agreed on terms to set up an early warning system for disruptions to supply chains, cooperation on clean energy, and fighting corruption and tax evasion.

In a very different event in San Francisco today, a federal jury convicted David DePape, 43, of attempted kidnapping and assault on account of a federal official’s performance of official duties for his attack on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul with a hammer on October 28 of last year, fracturing his skull. 

DePape’s lawyers did not contest the extensive evidence against him but tried to convince the jury that DePape did not commit a federal crime because he did not attack Pelosi on account of Representative Pelosi’s official position. Instead, they said, DePape had embraced the language of right-wing lawmakers and pundits and believed in a conspiracy theory that pedophile elites had taken over the country and were spreading lies about former president Donald Trump. 

DePape told jurors he had come to conspiracy theories through Gamergate, a 2014–2015 misogynistic online campaign of harassment against women in the video game industry, which turned into attacks on feminism, diversity, and progressive ideas. Trump ally Steve Bannon talked of pulling together the Gamergate participants behind Trump and his politics. 

Also today, a subcommittee of the House Ethics Committee set up to investigate allegations against Representative George Santos (R-NY) issued its report. The Republican-dominated committee found that Santos had lied about his background during his campaign and, furthermore, that he appears to be a serial liar. Those lies also “include numerous misrepresentations to the government and the public about his and his campaign’s financial activities.” 

That is, the committee found, Santos defrauded his campaign donors, falsified his financial records, and used campaign money on beauty products, rent, luxury items from Hermes and Ferragamo, and purchases at the website Only Fans. The subcommittee recommended the Ethics Committee refer Santos to the Department of Justice, and “publicly condemn Representative Santos, whose conduct [is] beneath the dignity of the office” and who has “brought severe discredit upon the House.” 

Santos says he will not run for reelection.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

Investors pile into Brazil’s first sustainable bond

Also in today’s newsletter, private capital struggles to rise to the global climate challenge

“Brazil is back,” then president-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva told a crowd at the COP27 climate summit this time last year, signalling a break with the environmental backsliding under his predecessor Jair Bolsonaro.

Since then he and his officials have been repeating that message to anyone who will listen — including sustainable bond investors who, as I write below, gave it a pretty enthusiastic reception.

Also today, in the run-up to intense debates on this subject at COP28, we look at how far the private capital sector is — or is not — rising to the green finance challenge.

G20 Summit 2023: 5 Key Takeways that look Good For Business!

World Leaders from 20 big economies successfully concluded the G20 Summit on Sunday (10th September 2023). Conducted in Indian Capital- New Delhi, the summit witnessed a diplomatic win for nations looking forward to inclusive growth. Whether it is inclusion of Africa in the club or pushing the sustainability envelope under the global spotlight or achieving a consensus for US, Middle East and South Asian Economic Corridor, G20 has proved to be good for business and global prosperity!

Commenting on the success of Summit, Indian External Affairs Minister quotes notes that the New Delhi Declaration showed that Indian Presidency was able to table ideas, shape global issues, bridge divides and forge consensus. Also evident in his tweet, “We kept the focus on Global South. We showcased our civilisational heritage even as we highlighted contemporary achievements”

Lets dive into the highlights of G20 Summit!

India-Middle East-Europe: Joining Hands for Economic Corridor

The announcement of the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor during the summit garnered significant attention as a potential alternative to China's Belt and Road Initiative. Leaders from the United States, India, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, France, Germany, Italy, and the European Union jointly unveiled this ambitious project on the sidelines of the G20 summit.

The memorandum of understanding signed by these countries signifies their commitment to establishing the corridor, which is anticipated to spur economic growth through improved connectivity and economic integration across Asia, the Arabian Gulf, and Europe. This initiative, including plans for rail and port links between the Middle East, South Asia, and Europe, has been lauded as a significant development on the global economic landscape, with U.S. President Joe Biden highlighting its importance.

In the face of China's Belt and Road efforts, the Biden administration aims to position Washington as a valuable partner and investor for emerging economies within the G20. However, it is important to note that specific details regarding financing and the project's timeline, particularly the construction of railway lines in the Middle East and their connection to India via ports, remain forthcoming.

SUSTAINABILITY—Prime Focus on SDG 2030

World leaders at the G20 summit have taken a momentous step in the direction of sustainability. They have unanimously endorsed a landmark initiative that underscores the global commitment to a greener future. The G20 leaders have pledged to triple renewable energy capacity worldwide by 2030 and have acknowledged the pressing need to phase out unabated coal power. Also, the leaders recognized the colossal financial requirement of approximately $4 trillion annually to facilitate the transition to green energy.

These deliberations hold immense significance as the world gears up for the COP28 U.N. climate summit in the United Arab Emirates later this year. Within this context, the G20 nations have taken substantial strides towards a smoother energy transition. This includes commitments to phase out unabated coal power, significantly boost investments in renewable energy, and double energy efficiency targets by 2030. A notable development is the creation of the Global Biofuel Alliance, spearheaded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He announced the alliance's launch and called upon G20 nations to unite in elevating global ethanol blending with petrol to 20 percent. The G20 Delhi Declaration emphasizes the pivotal role of sustainable biofuels in low and zero-emission development strategies.

Adding up, G20 members underscore the importance of ramping up investments in renewable energy and express a commitment to take note of the Voluntary Action Plan aimed at doubling the rate of energy efficiency improvement by 2030. This collective dedication to sustainability represents a significant milestone in the global effort to combat climate change and transition to a greener, more environmentally responsible future.

Global Bio-fuel Alliance

The G20 nations have taken a significant stride towards fostering a sustainable and business-friendly global energy landscape. Their collective agreement includes the phased reduction of unabated coal power, a threefold increase in investments in renewable energy, and the doubling of energy efficiency targets by 2030. Notably, they have established the Global Biofuel Alliance, a pivotal initiative aimed at propelling sustainable biofuels into the forefront of global energy strategies.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement of the Global Biofuel Alliance launch is a clarion call to G20 nations to participate in this endeavor, emphasizing the importance of increasing global ethanol blending with petrol to 20 percent.

The G20 Delhi Declaration underscores the crucial role of sustainable biofuels in achieving zero and low-emission development strategies, highlighting the establishment of the Global Biofuels Alliance as a pivotal milestone.

African Union in the Club: G21 Grouping

The inclusion of the African Union (AU) as a permanent member of the G20, elevating the grouping to G21 status, marks a significant diplomatic achievement and holds the potential to drive enhanced growth, equity, and sustainability on a global scale.

Previously, only South Africa represented the African continent within the G20, but this new development ensures that the entire 55-member African Union is on par with the European Union in the G20.

One of the primary benefits of this inclusion is the amplification of the Global South's voice within the G20. Historically, the G7 countries have held a dominant role in this forum, but with the entry of the AU, the Global South gains a more robust presence. This move aligns with the broader trend of rebalancing global power dynamics and fostering a more representative international order.

Soft Words on Russia-Ukraine Issue

The G20 summit spotlighted a diplomatic win for India as it navigated the Ukraine conflict with finesse.

While the declaration refrained from direct criticism of Russia for the ongoing war, it signaled a shift from the G20's stance last year, which had explicitly condemned Russia and called for its withdrawal from Ukraine. Instead, the G20 nations, including Russia, acknowledged a fundamental principle: that states cannot annex territory through military force. This diplomatic subtlety ensured broader participation and commitment.

Hosted by India and supported by Brazil, Indonesia, and South Africa, the summit demonstrated the growing influence of Global South developing nations within the G20. Their collaborative efforts helped prevent a schism within the group over the Ukraine issue, underlining the importance of diplomatic pragmatism and cooperation on the global stage. India's role in fostering consensus marks a diplomatic success, showcasing its ability to navigate complex international dynamics effectively.
