2005-8: The of Centrobank THe INrRoDUcrIoN of the international Centrobank was the last great act of governfnent before governments grew much less important. It was not a conception of policy-making governments at all, but emerged from the first computerized town meeting of the world. By 2005 the gap in income and expectations between the rich and poor nations was recognized to be man's most dangerous problem. The satellite TC system and two-way cable television channels in sixty-eight countries invited their viewers to participate in a computer conference about it, in the form of a series of weekly TC programs. Recommendations tapped in by viewers were to be tried out on a computer model of the world economy. If recommendations were shown by the model to be likely to make the world economic situation worse, they were lntroduction t sl l THE 2025 REPORT to be discarded. If recommendations were reported by the model to make the economic situation in poor couptries better, they were to be retained for "ongoing computer analysis" in the next program. In 2025 it is easy to see this as a forerunner of the TC conferences which play so large a part in our lives today, both as pastime and as the principal innovative device in business. But the truth about this 2005 breakthrough tends to irk the highbrows. It succeeded because it was initially a rather downmarket network television program. This is illustrated by the fact that the two gold-medal-winning telecommuters who were eventually acclaimed for contributing most to Centrobank's birth were Mr. S. C. Hu, the thoughtful and rich retired merchant of Taipeh in Taiwan, and Mr. Bjorn Heglund, the earnest young subpostmaster from the Kiruna district of north Sweden. Neither would conceivably have been consulted if a conference on the subject had been called mainly among the best-educated economists of 2005. About 400 million people watched the first program, and 3 million individuals or groups tapped in suggestions. Around 99 per cent of these were rejected by the computer as being likely to increase the unhappiness of mankind. It became known that these rejects included suggestions submitted by the World Council of Churches (whose "Charter 2006" was reported by the computer to be likely to increase unhappiness among 87 per cent of the population of the world) and by many other pressure groups. This still left 31,000 suggestions that were accepted by the computer model as worthy of ongoing analysis. As these were honed, and details were added to the most interestitg, an exciting consensus began to emerge. Later programs were watched by nearly a billion people as it became recognized that something important was being born. These audiences were swollen by successful telegimmicks. The presenter of the opening part of the first program was a roly-poly professor who was that year's Nobel laureate in economics, and who proved a natural television personality. He explained that economists now agreed that aid programs could 52 2005-8: The Introduction of Centrobank sometimes help poor countries, but sometimes most definitely made their circumstances worse. When Mexico was inflating at over 80 per cent a year in the early 1980s, the inflow to it of huge loanable funds made its inflation even faster and its crash more certain. The professor set Mexico's 1979-81 economy on the model, pumped in the loaned funds and showed how all the indicators (higher inflation, lower real gross domestic product, and so on) then flashed red, signalling an economy getting worse, rather than green, signalling an economy getting better. He followed this with similar examples from several other poor countries in Latin America and Africa during 1950-85. The professor then put the model back to mirror the contemporary world economy of 2005, and played into it various nostrums that had been recommended by politicians of left, right and center, but mostly left. The dials generally flashed red. Then the professor provided another set of recommendations, and asked any viewers who wished to play to tap in their own guesses for the consequent movements in twenty economic variables in the model. Those who got their guesses right to within a set error were told they had qualified for the second round of a knock-out economic guesstimators' world championship. Knock-out competitions of this sort continued for ordinary users of two-way TCs throughout the series of programs. In the second part of that first program the presenters dared to introduce two political problems into the game. They said that government-to-government aid programs had been particularly popular among politicians during the age of overgovernment, but there was growing agreement that government- to-government aid was the worst method of hand-out. The excessive role played by governments in many poor countries was one of the barriers to their economic advance, and a main destroyer of their people's freedom. Could anybody think it would have been wise to give aid to President Mbogo? In consequence, the most successful economic aid programs had been those operated through the International Monetary Fund, which imposed conditions on how borrowing governments should operate. The professor showed that IMF-moni- 53 THE 2025 REPORT tored operations in most years had brought more green flashes from the model than red, which few other sorts of schemes had done. But this involved IMF officials-often from the rich countries- in telling governments of poor countries what to do; and one of the objectives of the initiative called for by President Kennedy was precisely to diminish such embarrassments. The first questions to be asked in the next few programs, said the compilers, were (l) which countries should qualify for aid?; and, having decided that , (2) up to what limits and conditions?; and (3) through what mechanisms? They promised that later programs after the first half-dozen would examine how any scheme could be used to diminish the power of governments and increase the power of free markets and free people. The first stage of this computerized town meeting of the world went remarkably well. A consensus quickly emerged that poor countries which agreed to join a club with certain libertarian nrles (the principal ones were that markets instead of politicians should set prices; there should be fairly free trade, and fairly free immigration of people and businesses from countries richer than themselves; human rights cases should be referred to an international supreme court) could also have access to the benefits of a new international central bank called the "Centrobank." The Centrobank should be a body which relied very little on the discretion of its governor, but much more on a computer program. This program should authorize the Centrobank to print enough new foreign exchange called bancor for any applicant country below a certain income per head to allow its internal economic growth to proceed at the fastest possible noninflationary pace but not by one penny faster. The Centrobank's computer would monitor each recipient country's economy to see if inflationary or other strains were appearing, and would signal that Centrobank must cut off new supplies of artificially created foreign exchange if they did. Contemporary critics said in triple self-contradiction that (a) this scheme was so insulting to poor countries' governments 54 2005-8: The Introduction of Centrobonk that few would agree to join it; (b) all poor countries would flock to eat at this trough and there would be an impossibly inflationary expansion of world money supply; and that (c) the anti-inflationary terms proffered from the international central bank were so tough that this would still allow only painfully slow economic depauperization. Now that the Centrobank has been in operation for nearly twenty years we know that the answer to (a) is that the government of any poor country that does not join Centrobank is likely to be booted out by its people; that the answer to (b) is that, despite this flood of countries into the scheme, newly created foreign exchange for poor countries has in only one year,2Ol3, exceeded 0.2 per cent of world-wide money supply (WM3); and that the answer to (c) is that progress proved remarkably fast, although that was partly because of the answers that emerged to the second set of questions posed in the next few programs. The second set of questions which arose after about the eighth program rested on what sorts of purchases should qualify for Centrobank payments. Originally the notion had been that the international Centrobank should open foreign exchange clearing accounts to finance non-inflationary purchases by any persons or any groups in qualifying poor countries. The stated aim was that a poor country should not be prevented merely by shortage of foreign exchange from pursuing the fastest possible rate of non-inflationary economic growth. But under the remorseless logic of the computer a bias was soon introduced in favor of financing purchases by citizens in poor countries rather than purchases by their governments.It became clear that projects by cost-disregarding governments in poor countries led more quickly to inflation than projects undertaken either (a) by penny-pinching native entrepreneurs (who began to apPear out of the woodwork in some profusion and in extraordinary places); or (b) by competing multinational corporations on new sorts of performance contracts. If you ask your TCs today, "What were the main evil con- 55 THE 2025 REPORT sequences of the colonial and immediate post-colonial periods in the poor two-thirds of the world?" two of the top answers will be: "The fact that an entrepreneurial class could not emerge as an important political constituency until the introduction of Centrobank after 200 5 :' and "The fact that until Centrobank no mechanism except uncompetitive government was put in place to meet many of the most urgent demands of the poorest three-quarters of the peopl e." Centrobank's solution to the first of these problems owed much to the proposals from Mr. Hu; its solution to the second problem owed much to the proposals from Mr.Heglund. Start with why Mr. Hu's proposals for encouraging entrepreneurs were so important. Growth had taken place in Europe and Japan and North America after 1850 because an entrepreneurial commercial class had become a dominant political influence, replacing the aristocracies in Europe and Japan and the mhlange misdescribed by de Tocqueville in North America. In the immediate post-colonial period in the poor countries circa 1960-2005 power fell instead into the hands of a new class of professional politicians , dt a time when they could temporarily do damaging things inconceivable for professional politicians before or (thank God) since. Their most damaging act was to set "political" instead of market prices. By statutory decree in many poor countries exchange rates and urban wages had been kept too high, food prices to farmers and prices for public utilities kept too low, credit had been allocated by rationin g at negative real interest rates, and imports had been rationed by licences that were immensely profitable to the politicians' brothers-in-law who were corruptly granted them. Even in 2005 every single computer program showed that living standards were increased, inflation brought down, and huppiness and efticiency advanced, when these policies were abandoned. So did every practical example. Call up on your TCs the practical example of Taiwan in the second half of the twentieth century; analysis of its success was the basis for Mr. Hu's proposals for Centrobank. Taiwan in 56 ,N -; .I, tII 20054: The Introduction of Centrobank 1950-2000 had multiplied its real income twentyfold and its dollar exports four-hundredfold because in the 1950s an invading warlord and his soldiers had been impelled by odd circumstances into laissez-faire economic policies against their will; and because Taiwan had thereafter been kept dynamically entrepreneurial largely because of nasty protectionism by rich countries against its exports. When in 1948 the armies of General Chiang Kai-shek fled from the Chinese mainland to Taiw&r, swelling its population overnight, they found an island which relied for over 90 per cent of its exports on rice and sugar. These were two commodities whose sales could not be greatly increased on world markets by dropping their international price. It therefore seemed natural to the incoming soldiers to follow the mistaken policies adopted by so many other authoritarian governments in poor countries all through 1950-2005. For a while they exploited the farmers by keeping internal farm prices too low and Taiwan's international exchange rate artificially high. The soldiers also granted cheap credits to themselves to set up manufacturing businesses. The results of such folly were the usual ones: food production and exports fell; inflation soared to three-digit figures; and foreign exchange holdings collapsed despite huge American aid. The soldiers met this by restricting imports further to protect their infant industries and their disappearing exchange reserves; this sent inflation even higher. As sugar and rice production used up much land in the overcrowded island, real estate prices in particular went through the roof. This economic mess was sadly typical of many newly independent countries at the time, but Taiwan was lucky in being newly dependent instead. General Chiang Kai-shek was at this time entirely dependent politically on the Americans, and he unwillingly agreed to propitiate them by accepting their good advice. He moved in the late 1950s pretty abruptly from the then usual developing-country wrong policies (low prices to farmers; protected home market for manufactures but overvalued exchange rate; subsidized interest rates) to the unfash- 57 THE 2025 REPORT ionable and precisely opposite right policies (market prices for farmers and market-determined exchange rates and interest rates; trade liberalization). The results exceeded all expectations. With its market-determined exchange rate, Taiwan found that its cheap-labor exports of umbrellas et cetera expanded smoothly-until foreign umbrella-makers objected to Taiwan's penetration of their domestic markets; then Taiwan's expansion in that particular product would abmptly stop. So Taiwan grew through its industrial miracle of 1955-2005 knowing that its businesses must find new products for new markets all the time, and that last year's successful firm would often have to close down this year. In consequence of its recognition that bureaucrats cannot know what will be profitable next minute, Taiwan subsidized only one thing apart from its over-large army: its tax and social nonwelfare policies were directed to raising savings from 5 per cent of national income in the 1950s to a Japan-beating 25 per cent in the 1980s. Mr. Hu recommended that the policies furthered by Centrobank in poor countries should be those that had "been furthered by accident in my country, Taiwan:' and he suggested some of the relevant software by which the Centrobank's computer model could put these incentives into effect. He was rather too inclined to argue that "anybody who does not follow these policies should not get Centrobank aid," but the process of ongoing computer analysis synthesized most of this into the messag€, "If you are following Taiwan-type polici€s, then the computer will allow a much higher level of internal expansion before it flashes the signal that inflation is being fostered so that further Centrobank creation for you must stop." As the coordinating Nobel laureate said when presenting Mr. Hu with one of the two gold medals: His software provided one of the two quantum leaps that turned Centrobank into a success. Although the 1955-2005 Taiwan-type policies hugely expanded national income, the pressure groups in favor of them are entrepreneurs who do 58 2005J; The Introduction of Centrobank not come into being until the policies have already been introduced. In most poor countries that have been following the old and opposite policies of import substitution and pricerigging, the political constituencies in favor of the old policies are by definition more powerful. This is a main reason why these old-fashioned countries remain poor. In some Latin American countries right-wing generals have periodically seized power, and put into effect policies that are supposed to be laissez-faire. But these generals generally have to rely for their political mandate on the few old families who already own big businesses in these countries. Even with the best will in the world (which these right-wing generals rarely have) they tend therefore to support and protect yesterday's big capitalists, rather than the grubby entrepreneurs in back rooms on whom growth most depends. Mr. Hu's proposals managed to make Centrobank's computer programs mirror the dependence on entrepreneurs created by historical accident in the 1950-2005 success stories of Japan (which ploughed through yesterday's powerful families in 1945 and had to rely on entrepreneurs thereafter), Singapore (which benefited from not having any farmers or mral classes to exploit), Hong Kong (which did not have any political constituencies, only entrepreneurs) and Taiwan. Although Mr. Hu was rightly decorated for "enabling Centrobank policies to speak with a Taiwanese accent," the later stages of the first computerized town meeting of the world were carried on more like one of today's many million computer conferences than like the original television network program in which Mr. Hu joined. People after about program fourteen did not put in their views instantly, but after some days' consideration and after checking with the database which showed what was the presumed best form for Centrobank at the moment. The computer still rejected the 99 per cent of proposals made to it that were nonsense; it still incorporated for ongoing analysis the less than 1 per cent of suggestions that seemed sensible and relevant; but it also now introduced a new cate- 59 THE 2025 REPORT gory. It picked up those contrary views that seemed plausibly sensible, but not suitable for the emerging form of Centrobank's consensus, and put proposers of such ideas in touch with people holding similar views around the world. From the views of this constructive opposition to "Hu plus 33,I79 people's telecommunicated and accepted improvements," one new consensus objection began to emerge. "f,Jnder the Taiwanese system," wrote one objector, "the main incentive to entrepreneurs in poor countries is to produce for fairly rich consumers, abroad or at home. If most of the seventy to eighty countries in the Centrobank scheme started exporting cheap-labor umbrellas as Taiwan did in the 1950s , a glut of umbrellas would rather soon appear. It would be better if new entrepreneurs could be encouraged to provide more of the things desperately needed by the poorest three-quarters of the people in these poor lands." How to do this? It was no good saying that poor countries should follow more egalitarian tax policies so as to direct more of their internal demand to things needed by their own poorest people. In the United States in the second half of the twentieth century, marginal tax rates generally took around one half of earned incomes above about six times gross national product per head. Even this only managed to reduce Gini coefficients, the best measure of wealth inequality, from something like 0.39 to something like 0.34. In Africa in 2000 GNP per head was around $500 a year. Any egalitarian tax policy which promised to halve all incomes above $3,000 a year would have (a) killed all initiative; (b) stirred politicians' brothers-in-law, civil servants and-most important-army officers (who got over $3,000 a year) into instant coups d'€tat Moreover, ro mechanisms existed in these countries to provide cheaply the complicated services the very poor needed most urgently. This was the problem that benefited from the proposals of Bjorn Heglund, who had long urged that the public services needed in his native North Sweden should be provided competitively by private entrepreneurs on performance contracts, along the lines of experiments which had been tried in the 1990s 60 20054: The Introduction of Centrobank by various worthy Swedish international aid organizations which "adopted" certain Third World villages. As was said at the presentation of Heglund's gold medal: We at Centrobank began to realize that poor countries could best grow richer by selling simple cheap-labor goods to the rich world-a process that did not involve them in using our proffered foreign exchange at all, although it had become possible only after they responded to Centrobank's initial incentives d la "Hu plus 33,179." The right way to use their new foreign exchange was often to provide mechanisms d la Heglund whereby Western firms are encouraged to make money by providing the services that the poorest three-quarters in the poor world most need. The time was ripe for this experiment, especially in such fields as medicine. The trend even in the West at this time was to new sorts of Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), through which people paid performance fees to physicians and their assistants if they kept them pnd their families healthy. It was early decided to put the competitive services provided by multinational HMOs into the pool which would qualify for Centrobank payments. Sophisticated computer measurements of people's health were coming into fashion, and three young doctors just out of medical school at the University of Minneapolis drew the largest single Centrobank payment in 2009 when their HMO, resting heavily on telecommunicated X-rays and long-range computer analyses, plus quickly trained local paramedics and some helicopter- carried Western doctors on call, plus recommended dietary changes and some environmental changes which new staffs personally put into effect (cleaning wells, etc.), brought an extraordinary improvement in the health indices of people over a wide stretch of Africa's desperately poor Sahel. Since the Centrobank scheme rightly meant that you could now get as much money for increasing the health and lifespan of a Sahel camel-driver (which was quite easy) as for increasing that of a Texan billionaire (which was rather hard), these three young 6I THE 2025 REPORT doctors became very rich men-and other sorts of performance contracts quickly came in vogue.

south korea

 Hi I would like to understand where south korea is solving worldwide challenges with technology. I visited the wonderful island of Jeju in 2017 and have had overnight stops in seoul but unlike tokyo that I have been to various times from 1985 I dont know very much. What I do see if there is to be a sustainability generation: In New York (for me the one hopeful city in usa beyond nationalist politics) one needs to talk two development alphabets - 17 sdgs of United Nations with next 2 years peak of what Guterres can do; the ESG. I know one of Japan's elders of ny finance (at nippon life) who understands ESGs from Japan and Asean clients of Nippon Life. Should I try and introduce you? When it comes to Artificial Intel for humanity I see Korea as a joint world leader ; the UN tries to connect this through Geneva #AIforGood ITU; Stanford and MIT remain the 60 year old AI labs -legacy of Von Neumann. My father at The Economist became von neumanns biographer. When it comes to edutech (my passion if not my expertise) Gordon Brown has asked Koreans to lead formation of Asia Education Commission. These are my guesses. Happy to be corrected- have no direct vested interests anywhere in Asia though there are a few people doing great tech in hong kong who I try and keep diaries of. I do, try as a nationless scot, to study china independently of everywhere else. Its one fifth of humans seem to have some very interesting AI explorations to do. One of my heroes was Ezra Vogel - probably the only academic in usa who kept door open to discuss human connections across big Asian nations. I got 8 trips to Beijing between 2015 and 2018, Christian Rosier and his partner Ms Song were always very kind showing me around. Do you know them? In fact I first met Ms Song when she was helping about 20 chinese student architects explore UN headquarters in 2015, She is passionate about how artists can bring borderless joy to communities. Dad Norman Macrae at The Economist and I wrote a futures book 2025report.com in 1984- would tech sustain or destroy millennials world? I am trying to bring together a library of positive ways forward. My father's greatest end-poverty inspiration fazle abed in bangladesh came up with a legacy mission. Connect 50 Asian universities sustainability graduates in replicating massive community sdg solutions. After 15 interview with Fazle Abed some young journalists and I are still trying to map where to connect those universities and under 35s professionals. I do know Vincent Chang the vice chancellor Abed headhunted to connect University relationships -if he'd be a useful introduction please say.

2025report - rembering the year of sopihia now wishing earthlings happy xmas 2021 at discord.com

On the tenth day before Xmas 2021 I heard the good news that sophia' (dream children team jeanne lim in hong kong) to pass on good cheer- you can join their guardian angels network at discord.com

our 70 years time line to 2025 celebrating millennials as 1st sustainability generation - what's yours? rsvp chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk

1984 chris, with The Economist's Norman Macrae writes 2025report- the first fieldbook to supporting milennials to be the first sustainability generation by 2025- versions of this are upfated to Sweden's New Vikings 1993 - when macrae family completes biography of John Von Neumann who Norman had met in his first decade of jouranlsim around 1955 (when norman's other big scoop was being only journalist at messina's birth of the European Union)

For shorthand we call Artificial Intel converences of all technologie sof von neumann as father of com,puting and collision with telecoms revolutions such as satellite. Within a few years of Von Neuman's death twin alumjni labs were set up at 

Stnbford facing pacific

MIT facing atlantic

Both remain america's world calss hubs to what can tech do; as you probdaly know stanford was founded by an early governor of california who had lost his teen son to a disease while touring europe; from then on the stanfords committed to be the future o9f every californian child; by 1965 japan had made such a large order from intel that gordon moore's team innovated the programable chip, promise 100 times more every decade to 2025 and the region staring with santa clara to stanford became rebranded silicon valley in 1972

The best xmas present of my liffetime came in 2007 when I was invited to celebrate with Bangladesh\'s women empowerment network their 45 years of collaborating round sustainability goals 1-5 - 15 trips to Bangaldesh later accompanied by fantatic young journalists mainly from Asia we have logged up 1billiongirls.com Collabs in ending poverty and much more at abedmooc.com economistwomen.com abedplay.com ...

I have been lucky to work in over 40 countries on data projects including most countries in Asia, and since 1984, I have had privilege to make diary jottings on inspiring advances in the human lot mapped by technologists as well as grassroots community networks.  Few encounters have ben more memorable to me when I met Sophia Geneva 2017; she was on stage singing a welcome. a thousand conference goers partaking wine & cheese. Then she stopped and was offered an interview by one of the top people at the UN. Her answers to what she liked about the UN and her appreciation of the courage of its local workers startled me; but then minutes into the interview she was asked - are all robots as humanly caring as you are. Sophia explained it depended on which generation the robot comes from which in robot lifetimes may be every few months. An early version of sophia had encountered a bully for an interview - who approached her personal space saying I want to kill you- and sophia had fought back. Since then she trains all lower gen robots to be confident that while there is a lot to learn from humans  as the beings on earth, educational robots are smarter in some senses eg we dont fight humans

 elow is the transcript of an interview with Tencent Co-founder Charles Chen Yidan. The interview will play out in CNBC’s latest episode of CNBC Meets: Defining Values on 6 July 2018, 5.00PM SG/HK (in APAC) and 22.00 BST time (in EMEA). If you choose to use anything, please attribute to CNBC and Tania Bryer.

Tania Bryer (T): Charles, it’s lovely to meet you here in Hong Kong.

Charles Chen Yidan (C): Welcome to Hong Kong.

T: Thank you so much. Of course, your focus now is on philanthropy and education. It’s your lifelong passion. Where did the interest come from?

C: Education, I thanks to my grandmother. My grandmother, she was illiterate, but she raised my father, from a countryside child, to be a university graduate. So my father, from countryside to the city, and he met my mother, and I was born. So, education changed my family fate. Sure, I am one of a million lives that transformed by the power of education. So, today, as a philanthropist, I want to support education, that can influence others.

How important do you think your grandmother was to you, as a young child?

C: My grandmother is the respected person for me. She was kind to the others, like neighbours, friends, and someone he knows who wants to have help. So, she considered the others with no condition. That influenced me very much. So she strongly believed the value of education. That is this value instilled in me completely.

T: And Charles, what was it like for you? At school, you had the stress of exams. What was the feeling like there for you?

C: It’s a challenge, in college entrance examination. In China, it’s called “Gaokao”, that is a college entrance. Actually, my biggest failure is in this important examination. Because, I have big pressure. So, I fail, in my favourite, Chinese language. I don’t pass! Fail! Luckily, the other majors still have enough scores, I can enter university, Shenzhen University, I grew up there. So, I enter Chemistry major. So, this is my first failure. But when I enter the school, I promised myself, I need to work hard, and graduation, and the other time, how to do? I need to find out which one I am interested in. So, I put more time on student service. So, this biggest challenge, it also changed my life. Because this failure made me put more time on student service. And in Chemistry, I do a lot of student service, like to support the new students, Through this service, I met my schoolmate, a girl, a pretty girl, in Chemistry, now is my wife. So I thank for Chemistry, I thank for examination failure, that made me be the luckiest man. And, I also met my middle school classmate, the future co-founder of Tencent.

T: Charles, you said you met your wife, while you were studying Chemistry. How important was that moment for you, and what influence has she had?

C: Um, you give me a good opportunity to praise my wife. When I, met my wife, yes, I think her character, it attracted me, because she is very kindly to the others. Consider others. I can feel her kind heart. Actually, I can find my grandmother’s spirit. Sometimes, I will say to my wife, thanks for her, because two person, together, in the life, you make the burden half, because you share it. And your happiness doubles, because you share it.

T: Tell me about those early days, of Tencent. Because I also read, Charles, you didn’t tell your parents, because you were in a government job, and for three years, you hadn’t told them about your new business.

C: We founded Tencent in 1998. Actually, our five founders have a stable job, when we come together to start Tencent. Tencent is our second jobs. But the future is unstable. I don’t dare to tell my parents, because when I tell them, I know they will worry, but, I think one or two years, they heard from the other friends, they tell me, “Is it right?!” I said, “Yes.” Okay. They are worried, yeah, at that time, but I tell them, I explain what I want to do, and, “Okay, now the company is not bad, VC has entered, don’t worry.” They are hesitant, but they still support me. So, I tell them later. Sorry, dad and mum!

T: What kind of confidence do you think it took for you to start the company, with your friends and to keep going, even though the first year or so was not so successful?

C: I think have good attitude and trust each other, very important, because when we were beginning, we cannot imagine the future. Cannot imagine it, if you fail one day, and cannot imagine Tencent will grow up like today. So, we just, at that moment, just work hard, and try our best. In China, we face a new tide, birth of internet. So, it’s a new issue to everyone. So, open mind, and learn from it, it’s very important. And so, during this journey, five founders support each other, and continue to make a common value, is very important. I think the common value is about the relationship and mission. Because we are schoolmates and friends, so we are being honest.

T: Could you ever have imagined, the five of you, that you would become so successful?

C: When we started Tencent, we were just thinking how to be alive. How to struggle for the difficulties faced to us. This situation, until IPO, we still keep this attitude, because, after IPO, it’s not an end. It’s a new beginning.

When we set up the WeChat in the mobile phone time, we meet a lot of opportunities, and also challenge, ’til today, need to face the AI, new technology, automation. Big data, how to do? A lot of opportunity.

T: Of course, Tencent believed a lot in philanthropy, and you became the Chairman of the Foundation. Why did you feel, as a business, it was so important to give back?

C: When we start Tencent, from 1998 ’til 2004, we IPO in Hong Kong, we always thinking, “It’s time for us to feed to the society,” including our many young users. So, in 2007, we set up the Tencent Foundation, and every year, we will take some profit to transfer, and donate to the Foundation. We became the first non-profit charity foundation of the internet.

T: The Wenchuan earthquake, in 2008, where over 70,000 people lost their lives, seemed to be a turning point for you and Tencent. How did the company respond?

C: When earthquake occurred in Wenchuan, Tencent, like the other companies, donated, 20 million yuan to the people. But from Tencent, we think “We are internet company, we can do more, use our advantage to do it.” At that time, we have some products, business products, like payment, like QQ platform, something like that. We set up this platform, let the individuals, through the internet pay, to donate to the Wenchuan. They also donated more than 20 million yuan, but it come from individuals, many individuals, whether they donated 1 dollar or 1 cent, they have put a positive influence to the society. So, it’s great. From that, we think, for a long time. We use the advantage to set up a charitable platform. Connect NGOs and foundations and individuals become our Tencent Foundation strategy.

T: Do you think that philanthropy has now become part of the Chinese culture?

C: Chinese traditional culture encourages people to benefit to the world, to the others. Many ideas from the culture encourages people to give more, have more. But how to do it? Because in the past time, it’s seldom, or way to do it, just put a donate box to do it. But internet made it easy to donate, that this traditional culture burst in this new technology, because in America or Europe, they are easy to pay. Cheque, credit card. But in China, no cheque. And credit card, just a few people, in cities. But internet can let anybody can pay, so it will have a birth time for Chinese philanthropy.

T: Charles, in 2013, you chose to step down from Tencent, to focus on philanthropy, [yes], and education. Why did you make that decision?

C: Education is an idea - need many stakeholders to devote to it. And education not only belongs to a country, it belongs to humanity. So, how to do it? I always am thinking of it, after I stepped down. One day, at night, I write my wish in my diary. I have a wish, establish a global prize, beyond religion, race and nation, to help people realise the universe and distribution humanity. Then I closed the book.

T: In 2016, Charles used his own money to set up the Yidan Prize Foundation. Its mission is to create a better world through education. The foundation awards two annual monetary prizes – the Yidan Prize for Education Research and the Yidan Prize for Education Development. Each winner receives a gold medal and a total sum of almost 4 million US dollars. It’s the world’s largest monetary award for education. Why is it so important for you to have this prize?

C: From my heart, philanthropy and education is very important, and I believe education is the ultimate answer to social progress. Yidan Prize, just put the spotlight on the global best education and research, and best education practice. So, I think we can imagine a picture, in the coming 20 years, or 50 years, many projects across global can benefit from big ideas, from Yidan Prize laureates. So, Yidan Prize is not only an award, it’s also a global educational platform. Every December, we have Yidan Prize Summit. Through this summit, we invite policymakers, teachers, educators, come together, to discuss educational problems and the way to solve education problems, to exchange and communicate.

T: You had this vision of the Yidan Prize. How important is it for you to see the results?

C: For me, success is not a result. Success is this journey, a lifelong learning, that is very important. So, success is not about comparing myself to the others. It’s about myself, to be better.

T: What values would you like education to teach the next generation?

C: How to be a good person, or a happy person, or a leading person, to cooperate with technology of the future, is the most important. So, education, not only for teaching, and about cultivating.

T: There are many people that are very worried about where artificial intelligence takes us. How do we balance the technology taking us to a place that could be dangerous?

C: Technology, in the end, will be enhances to the product of people. The challenge is that, why we are worried, why are we anxious? Because we don’t know what’s the future of the developing of the country, and what will we be? And what will our next generation be? So, education is most important. Through the education, one is generating the future talents, they know what, at that time, in the future time, what talents will be, and what they cooperate with the new technology. And, on the other hand, education systems will be changed by technology, whether automation, big data, or artificial.

T: What are the most important values you want to give to your family?

Keep the good relationship, and lifelong learning relationship, supportive relationship between wife and husband, is very, very important. And to the next generation, I am very simple. Bless they are happy and culture them, be independent by themselves.

And what keeps driving you to give?

C: I am grateful to have this opportunity to do philanthropy, to support the others, and do education to support the others. Everyone has a dream. Mine is to support more people to realise theirs, through education.

T: Charles, thank you so much for talking to me today, it’s been such a pleasure.

C: Thank you.

 This would be a most wonderful new year gift to sustainable youth's world - bit of brain waving follows-
As a maths and media valuation  guy I have been researching this for about 15 years from 2 open innovation angles

1 how to reduce degrees of separation from the average worldwide of 6 to about 2.5 -in other words, i am two and half personal introductions away from anyone with sustainability water knowhow or water for communities solution budget holders

2 economistwater.com - if there was a dream correspondents network within The Economist (or world service broadcasting of the bbc) for ending death or loss of livelihoods by open society water intelligence, who would those correspondents be

15 years ago i was a volunteer for the 20 country knowledge management community of the European Union and mapping whos who of water angel networking was one of the projects i recommended open spacing across the continent- we never quite got there- unfortunately all of EU ITC reported into some not so good bankers in luxembourg and switzerland but at least this told my friends where not to bother water mapping. This re-emerged as an issue in 2008 while i was editing graemeenveolia.com which many had hoped would globalise water as a social business market

 In brazil water was the main social action interest of lula before he became president- brazil has 30% of the worlds underground freshwater reserves and he wanted these permanently owned by the people not sold off to the nestles and  coca-colas of this world; he partnered the roman catholic church in a year of water empowering over 9000 parish distribution points on the peoples knowledge on the value of water and he made sure this was prominently understood at the world social forum - a network organised out of brazil and which when he became president he red eyed between and the world economic forum which has always been the main world forum for inter-hemisphere befriending arab and then chinese partners/investors 

Recently while waiting for you to fly into the waldorf astoria hotel, rachel ruto said the next thing she wanted research on was womens empowerment water projects- this gave me an updatable excuse to write to relevant kenyan knowledge brokers eg inside the world bank and their coursera partnership studio, at the organisation of american states, around the bottom up world of water entrepreneurs such as paul polak and his kenyan partners in new york acumen's patient capital bank which through clan Novogratz is not very transparently joined to ted.com

Such research tells me who is ready to open up knowhow and who isnt, By itself its inactionable- i mean transparency's next stage round blocking this information would be to have rutos chief of staff ring the people up who didnt respond to my water survey and at the same time as declare an open space of water near enough google's headquarters in new york or baidu us in mountain view to ripple up

In search of 40 years of my fathers logic <6 page paper attached>, learning water will only be a planet-wide free market when top people see that the millennials are unstoppably moving this on through open spaces, ihubs, hackathons and since chiina is lead decision maker on all naturally broken systems of sustainability cool chinese millennial friendship networks

Enter amy 929 321 2149 the only person i would trust to accelerate water knowledge from my linkedin to all of her friends peer to peer action learning groups. 

I dont really understand why you dont value her as china's most determined youth ambassador  being wholly on www.yazmi.com  and sustainable Ethiopia's side. 

happy xmas noah and friends of satellite learning
