Intro LO: This rather unbiased article, in the English version of the Spanish newspaper El Pais, addresses my first curiosity topic - Why Beijing Thinks It Can Beat Trump - as noted in my recent blog.

Luckily, the upside of boredom is curiosity. “We often think boredom is a less productive state of mind, but a lot goes on when we are bored, including some...
Intro LO: The Bloomberg article below gets a different impact once you exclude Shein's low-value items; see diagram below. High value items would probably become too expensive for (very) many people.
