    China is the world's largest exporter of goods. It is also, by any plausible criterion, a developing country. China's dual status needs to be better reflected in Chinese policies - recognizing its global responsibilities -- and in those of the Western powers - recognizing China's limitations.

    En multipliant par deux son cours durant les trois premiers mois de l'année 2021, puis en le divisant pratiquement par deux, en quelques jours du mois d'avril 2021, le Bitcoin interroge, nous interroge.

Some analysts have started to speak of the possibility of a new commodity price ‘super-cycle’ aft ...
