Agreement To Provide A Producer Statement During Construction: Fill & Download for Free

This question is a lie. Furthermore, the (formerly) most viewed answer to the question perpetuates the lie.Although the Soviet Union irresponsibly attempted to cover up a deadly accident that affected all of Europe, the United States issued a statement WITHIN FOUR DAYS, which said,The United States is prepared to make available to the Soviet Union humanitarian and technical assistance dealing with this accident.Over thirty years after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, the United States is still paying hundreds of millions of dollars to help clean up the site.Soviets Accept U.S. Aid for First Time Since 40'sThe International Effort to Contain ChernobylU.S. still paying to clean up ChernobylWhat is Russia doing today to clean up the site in now sovereign Ukraine? How much are they contributing to Ukraine for maintenance of the site?In addition to U.S. aid and support to the Soviet Union during the Chernobyl disaster, American taxpayers also gave billions to an enemy of 70 years, including, but not limited to:July-August 1991: Moscow Summit The U.S. signed five bilateral accords offering aid for aviation security, disaster assistance, provision of medical supplies, housing construction and finance, and technical economic cooperation.January 1992: Conference on Assistance to the New Independent States President Bush proposed that Congress approve an additional $645 million in technical and humanitarian aid to the CIS (Russia).February 1992: "Operation Provide Hope"Yeltsin stopped in Paris on February 6, 1992, on his way back from the United States and Canada. He appealed for more Western aid and warned that the failure of his economic program could produce a Russian dictatorship. Secretary of State Baker visited Frankfurt to inaugurate "Operation Provide Hope," an international emergency aid program to the former Soviet Republics. The U.S. sent 25,000 tons of food and medicine to 33 cities in the former Soviet Union.June 1992: Washington Summit The United States pledged $4.5 billion as a share of a $24 billion international program to support economic reform in Russia, as well as additional credit guarantees and technical assistance. Economic cooperation would be enhanced by a U.S.-Russian Trade Agreement, bilateral investment and taxation treaties, and an Overseas Private Investment Corporation investment incentive agreement.July 1992: G-7 Economic Summit The G-7 leaders promised $1 billion in aid to Russia.April 1993: Vancouver Summit The United States pledged $1.6 billion in additional aid to Russia.July 1993: Additional Economic Assistance to Russia The United States announced a bilateral aid program of $1.8 billion for Russia and the former Soviet republics.January 1994: Moscow Summit The United States agreed to purchase $12 billion worth of low‑enriched uranium over a 20-year period.September 1994: Yeltsin's State Visit to Washington The U.S. and Russia signed three commercial agreements worth $1 billion.So, enough of this whining about how the poor Soviet Union/Russia does not get enough love from a country it once vowed to bury.Image Мы вас похороним!The United States is not the villain of the Chernobyl tragedy. That role belongs to Soviet Union’s culture of secrecy and deception, a role that the Russian Federation continues to play to this day.One final point.It should be a source of shame in Moscow that the story of Chernobyl went untold on film for over three decades, until it was finally told by an American writer and a Swedish director for American television. Having ignored this story for 33 years Russia is now scrambling to tell an alternative facts conspiracy theory version blaming the accident on a mysterious CIA agent.What a disgrace.The Kremlin is choosing to fall back on Cold War mentality instead of telling the compelling story of the bravery and self-sacrifice of the Soviet people who saved Europe from an unimaginable catastrophe, at the cost of their own lives.I recommend reading,Chernobyl Prayer: Voices from Chernobylby Nobel Prize winning Belorusian author Svetlana Alexievich

This answer may contain sensitive images. Click on an image to unblur it.Good to see here some good Pakistani Quora Writers wrote some good answer. To make my point, I am taking references of these answers.Alternate Route Theory:More than 70% of Chinese Trade and 80% of oil is imported through the South China Sea and the United States if they block these routes, China will use the CPEC route.If you ask this question to American, they will make a fun of these statements. American Bases are everywhere around the world and some of the largest bases are located in Afghanistan and Gulf Countries. The day the United States decide to stop the trade, China will go in the absolute deadlock. In 20 Minutes, Americans will destroy Gwadar Port. After all, CPEC is the road base transportation system, if someone destroys tunnels or bridges on the route will choke up for months.Safer Route Route Theory:More than 50 workers got killed including Chinese labors during the construction of CPEC though workers are protected by 2 Pakistani Army Divisions.[1][2] If these security measurements are not effective during construction, what guarantee it will provide proper security on the route. Event the United States expressed their concerns on CPEC saying Pakistan would allow terrorist groups more targets for attacks.[3] The skyrocketing figures for the CPEC security came from Finance Minister Ishaq Dar when admitted that Rs 100 bn ($9.5 bn) expenditure on security was to be outside the fiscal deficit ceiling.Shorter Route Theory:Through the development of Gwadar port, the distance which China has to cover will be abridged to 2500 km from 10,000 km.This routes main aim to connect Xinjiang which holds only 2% of China’s total population and very less industrialized. This province is also affected by terrorist insurgencies and political turmoil.[4] This 10,000 km logic is for importing goods from outside which is not available in China.Kashgar to Shanghai route is connected through route and train, and it will take only 5000 km to reach the seaport, on other hands Kashgar to Gwadar is nearly 3000 km route, only connected through Road and infrastructure in Gwadar doesn’t match with any high class Chinese port.In one interview Chinese Ambassador to Pakistan Sun Weidong had emphasised that Pakistan is not producing the goods needed in China, which is the main reason behind the trade imbalance between two countries. This route only going use to extract Natural Resources from Baluchistan and to ship food and crops from the farmland allotted to Chinese farmer in Pakistan. [As per the Long Term Agreement exposed by Dawn Leaks]Lowering shipping costs Theory:As per the trade cost explained by John Fernandes in his answer, per tonnage transport is much cheaper by sea and also there's no road maintenance and no lanes so no limit of the number of trucks passing through.John Fernandes's answer to What is the biggest hoax you've ever heard about the CPEC?$1 trillion Theory:In one answer, one writer compare $1 trillion investment to Indian Budget, but the fact is these $1 trillion are going to spend in next 15 to 20 years, it could not compare with India’s one year budget. $1 trillion is not the investment, it is the kind of loan to other countries to create the infrastructure which will be carried out by Chinese companies, Chinese raw materials, and Chinese labors. So ultimately all the money goes to China, China will be going trade on these routes supplying their surplus production, and cheap raw material will be supply back to China. Till now a lot of countries are filling heat of Chinese debt burden, and Pakistan is already in their trap.$56 billion Gamble Theory:Ultimately Pakistan is not serious about Chinese $56 billion gamble at all. The major portion of the investment is involved in kickbacks, risk management, higher interest rates and nonrelevant projects. CPEC has no major benefits for Pakistan which explained in details by Arvind Goenka in his following answer.Arvind Goenka's answer to What is the opinion of Pakistanis on the CPEC Master Plan published in Dawn?Energy Problems Theory:Currently, Pakistan has surplus energy and Power generation capacity.[5] In April 2017, Pakistan Govt. was not able to payback Circular Debt worth $26 billion and settle payments of IPP’s and Power Plants which were required them to buy fuel and continue the operations. As result, these IPP’s and Plants bring down their Power Productions, which let 10 to 16 hours of load shedding in very hot summer.[6] If Pakistan is not capable to pay this amount, how they payback their huge loans.Boosting Overall Economy:From last few years, despite signing CPEC, Pakistan’s Economy is continuously going down. Currently, with 66% of Pakistan's total revenue consume on loan servicing[7], falling exports[8], and Remittances[9], declining Tax Revenue[10], decreasing Foreign direct investment[11][12], forget CPEC loans how Pakistan pay off their existing loans is a big question. Nowadays China is providing vital doses of bailout packages to keep Pakistan Economy alive.[13]Money is powerful Theory:One writer is also quoted “Money is powerful for fighting extremism”. Yes, we accept it, the United States provided billions to Pakistan for many years, now it's time for China.

1 IntroductionThe rapid development of China is based upon the realistic macroeconomics explained by Dr Osamu Shimomura and Professor Richard Werner. The economic model of China is not a bubble and it is only ignorant Western commentators -who have no valid understanding of what is actually going on - who can claim it is. China’s development is built upon a solid realistic understanding.By the middle of this 21st century, China is going to become again what it once was, the most significant economy and culture on Earth. It will be immensely rich, highly developed, and at the leading edge of several further waves of technological innovations.If we all get through the years of maximum danger - the Rapkin-Thompson Zone of maximum probability of World War III between China and the USA from 2016 to 2023 - then the future of China will become truly brilliant. SeeHow intelligent political action could avoid nuclear war indefinitelyandHow can Trump best avoid a nuclear war with China?Trump has just agreed yesterday afternoon (Friday 10 February 2017) to the “One China” policy. That is immensely helpful and probably reduces the risk of nuclear war to about 5% pa because Trump has opened good communications between the American and Chinese leaderships.2 The pattern of Chinese Economic GrowthThe Tokyo Consensus Economies (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and China) have all chosen different objectives in their Shimomuran-Wernerian macroeconomic development of an “economy of abundant capital” as Shinzo Abe put it when he talked to the Japanese Press Club on 13 April 2013. SeeSpeech on Growth Strategy by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at the Japan National Press Club (Speeches and Statements by Prime Minister) | Prime Minister of Japan and His CabinetChina has used Shimomuran-Wernerian macroeconomics - the creation of no-cost investment credit at the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) and its provincial branches, and the consequent funding of minor and major investments - to grow every aspect of the Chinese economy. This is more fully discussed atThe Many Major Uses of Investment Credit Creation: A brief walk through the observed results so far, and the future possibilities made available through Shimomuran EconomicsThat Shimomuran-Wernerian macroeconomic practice resulting in high economic growth is decentralised and has been and is being being implemented in all the provinces of China. The PBoC headquarters in Beijing agrees annual targets for the no-cost creation of investment credit in each province and the SMEs, larger industries and businesses receive low cost loans and the workforce productivity continually rises based upon an “economy of abundant capital.” That has enormous implications, some of which are discussed below.3 The Chinese Contributions To The Future of The WorldIf the US and China transit peacefully through the Rapkin-Thompson years without committing a ruinous and suicidal world war, the future of the world becomes safer and better.The Chinese will probably make the following six key contributions to the world’s future3.1 A World Without Major World Wars The sheer size of the Chinese economy will make the possibility of a hegemonic challenger very unlikely for a long time. The Chinese Government may do the rest of the world an immense favour by delivering a world without a major world war for two or three hegemonic periods, that is for 140 to 210 years. (Britain enjoyed three 70-year periods of hegemonic dominance and I think China is better placed to do at least that.) Faster world wide economic development and large rises in living standards will be one positive result from that international stability.In theory India could become a hegemonic challenger but because the indian economy is only about 40% of China’s that possibility is probably centuries away. The world will be destroyed if the largest Asian economies of India and China have a series of wars in a kind of Asian replay of the European contest for supremacy. With atomic weapons on both sides, even minor future skirmishes could be disastrous.The possession of atomic weapons and delivery systems is dangerous because the mistaken military will often try to use such weapons to avoid defeat. In 1950 General MacArthur, the then US military commander, wanted to atomic bomb North Korea during the early stage of the Korean War. See U.S. Planned To A-Bomb N. Korea In 1950 WarWhen the US forces were being driven back during the Vietnam war, there was pressure from the military for the consideration of dropping atom bombs in Vietnam. See Worst Idea Ever: Dropping Nuclear Bombs During the Vietnam WarIf any nation possesses nuclear bombs there may be a tendency for their military to regard these as the “last resort” weapons which can “draw victory from the jaws of defeat.” So far the political intelligence of US Presidents has avoided the use of atomic bombs three times during the 20th century (in 1950 in the Korean War, in 1962 during the Cuban Crisis and in Vietnam) but not all leaders can be relied upon always to be as level headed as several US Presidents have been.3.2 A World of Abundant Capital China could share with the world the rapid route to prosperity which it has so successfully practised. That knowledge is the key to the fast development of the less developed countries, and it is what the majority of the people want, as the late Alice Hoffenberg Amsden has commented.“With the awakening of Giants, global absolute power has become a relic of the past. Absolutism cannot be preserved by the United States, nor can it be acquired by China. No longer can a single country enjoy it. What will empower an Empire now is how “great” it is, meaning how much it promotes global economic development.“See The West Is About To Lose The World Because Of Faulty Economic UnderstandingTwo of the leading nations of the West - the United Kingdom and the United States - took a wrong turning after 1980. The major justification for capitalism - and it is a moral justification - is that Western capitalism is the fastest way to produce a widespread prosperity for the people of a nation. The capture of the Western democracies by monied interests and the consequent political operation of the economy in the interests of the rich and privileged, combined with the neoclassical arguments that support the demonisation of the unions and the privatisation of state monopolies, only acts in the interests of the financial sector and consolidates low growth rates and widespread poverty in nations which were previously rich.Western Capitalism as practised in the Washington Consensus Zone (and the whole nine yards of nonsensical baggage which goes with it) is no longer the best path to prosperity for the people of a nation. The economics of the Tokyo Consensus Zone - Shimomuran-Wernerian macroeconomics - is by far the best way for any nation to achieve rapid economic growth and widespread prosperity.3.3 The Reversal of Global Warming and The Greening of all the Economy Although the 12 December 2015 Paris Agreement or Convention on Climate Change has now (after December 2016) been ratified by 194 out of the 195 countries which drafted that Convention ( see Paris Agreement - Wikipedia ) the essential actions to reverse global warming are not due to be implemented until 2020. President Trump has said he does not believe in the phenomena of global warming and although the Obama administration signed that Agreement the US may now not implement it.The Washington Consensus macroeconomics is more about making economies than practising a realistic growth-inducing macroeconomics. National programmes to assist and produce the reversal of global warming are likely to be held up by an alleged “lack of funds”. But an appropriate understanding of Shimomuran-Wernerian macroeconomics and the no-cost route to investment credit creation can provide the funding for this essential activity.The loss of all the coastal cities of China and the loss by salination of the farmland on low-lying river plains would be a major disaster to China. The Chinese Government should cooperate and perhaps even lead the worldwide program for the reversal of global warming because it understands how to do so, and would derive great benefits from implementing the largest programme in the world in China.A whole series of major investments could replace the reliance on carbon fuels (coal, oil and gas) by funding alternative energy sources for China. The Three Gorges Dam is a good start, but there is an enormous need for all the natural green sources of energy to be fully exploited to enable China’s continual growth. Solar power farms, wind power at land and sea, and wave power could replace the current carbon consuming electrical power generation.3.4 The New Chinese Inventions and Innovations The people of China have been the source of several of the most fundamental inventions in human history. The four key inventions of paper, printing, gunpowder and the compass enabled the European Renaissance. These four Chinese inventions made possible the widespread education of people via book learning, enabled modern wars, and provided the means for accurate sea navigation.Large economies generate localities which create and sustain leading edge inventions and innovations. The American and German economies have provided such centres of invention and innovation and it is certain that the Chinese economy will naturally establish and nurture many similar leading edge developments. That’s what large economies do.3.5 The Colonisation Of Mars and the Creation of Enclosed Martian BiomesThe climate of Mars is unusual. During the Martian Winter when the South Pole of Mars is pointed away from the sun, the Martian atmosphere mainly consisting of Carbon Dioxide freezes into visible green snow glaciers at the Martian South Pole. During the Martian Summer that frozen Carbon Dioxide explodes into gas once more and a thin atmosphere then covers the entire planet. It does seem that there may be a great deal of water frozen under the dust in the valleys and craters of Mars.This means that the essential elements for the growth of plants appear to be on Mars in the required quantities to permit plant growth, if enclosures could be provided.At present human ingenuity has created a series of 3D printing machines that are capable of printing all kinds of products and even some cellular sheets of human tissue. The largest printing device in China can even “print” a house. See3D printer builds houses in China - videoWhat is required on Mars is automatic enclosure machinery so that when Chinese colonists arrive on Mars they will find that a great deal of accommodation has already been constructed there. Probes can be sent to Mars that are capable of finding the required resources to construct enclosures on a large scale. Furthermore these enclosures could be provided with adequate amounts of Carbon Dioxide and water from the local environment, and plant seeds could be introduced by other spacecraft into these enclosures which could be heated and lit as required to provide a Martian biome - like a large greenhouse. The scientific information that was acquired by the Americans during the Biosphere 2 experiment in the Arizona Desert has provided us with the necessary information on how to create a closed environment that would support human life. See Biosphere 2 - WikipediaWhen the Chinese manned spacecraft arrived on Mars the astronauts could move into large enclosed artificial “farmlands” or vivariums that had been automatically made ready for their arrival.The creation of vast biomes using Biosphere 2 Technology would lead to the permanent colonisation of Mars based upon the establishment of a self-sustaining ecology that could ultimately support a substantial population.These enclosures would be best located within the meteor craters or down in the deep valleys of Mars in order to minimise the effect of Martian winds and provide higher supplies of local carbon dioxide.3.6 The Chinese Death Control Procedures At present in the more developed Western world, the average lifespan is about 80 years. The new knowledge espoused by the epigenetic research of Professor David Andrew Sinclair will probably become general knowledge within the next couple of decades. That knowledge, properly practiced, is likely to increase the average lifespan by up to 24 years, to about 104. SeeThe Transition to a Longer Living Society Part 1The Western economies are currently spending a great deal on health services supporting the later years of their populations. These later years of life are at present often spent in an unhealthy condition. David Sinclair’s epigenetic research not only shows how to extend human life though a better death control, it also avoids the metabolic syndrome diseases of old age (which are coronary heart disease, cancers and central nervous system diseases) and allows the later years of life to be lived in much better health. Of course, some would say his research has not been tested. That’s the standard answer to useful but unpatentable products. SeeWhat’s Wrong With Big Pharma?which suggests what I think might be the best available personal mix of pills and other items to enable a healthy long life. The main thing wrong with big Pharma is that it is focused like everything else in the West on making big money rather than having a useful social function in more of their activity.China could provide cheap pills to all of its elderly (over 40 years?) population as Sweden once did. The resveratol/AMPK stimulator pills are much cheaper as a national policy than the alternative costs of a health service supporting increasingly disabled older people, but every individual and nation needs to examine this issue.During the rest of this century, human lifespan can be expected to increase to perhaps 160 years. That has immense implications for China and the world.The Chinese population can be expected to treble during the 21st century to about 4 billions. Given that the Chinese income per head is likely to become about $200,000 by the end of the century, the GDP of China can be expected to become $800tr. or about 6.7 times the current real GDP of the world.4 ConclusionsThe economies of the Tokyo Consensus Zone grew rapidly at first by the imitation and the adoption of pre-existing Western technologies. (The slogans of growth in Japan and China illustrate this - “Western Technology, Japanese [or Chinese] spirit.”) As China approaches the income per head levels of Western nations (about $50,000 per caput) China must increasingly switch from external imitation to internal inventions and innovation. (I am using these words in the precise Shumpeterian sense to reflect his definitional difference between these two categories of activity.)It is essential that China continues to adopt its own path in the funding and development of the inventions and innovations of its people. That is beginning to happen now and will become a major aspect of the future development of China - products that have no counterpart elsewhere from a culture which knows how to do everything.China is certain to become the most dynamic and fascinating abundant capital economy in the world. The Chinese dream of the Paramount Chinese Leader Deng Xiao P’ing that China should once again become the paramount and most pre-eminent culture, civilisation and economy in the world is no longer a dream but an emerging reality.
