the creator of the founder of one of the most prestigious ranking systems in the world the so-called shanghai rating. university rankings have become extremely popular and it's not only a matter of public image in roman trays and tuition the classifications us objective to a certain extent but every issue of and the rating system raises concerns and out usually among those who did not make it to the top the originator of the shanghai university ranking dr luke believes ratings will only gain importance as the main issue is how to make it more universal and accurate. mr liu welcome to the show thank you very much for being with us and i would like to to start with a question about this ranking system your institution published another academic ranking a world university a.r.w. comely known as the shanghai ranking where there are quite a number of ranking systems in the world what was the necessity to create another one why did you decide to do it oh actually. our ranking democrat in the west there was the first global university ranking we are not currently a member while we were the first. ex

goat exchange and shanghai people are buying gold and they are taking delivery of gold and they're doing so in big numbers huge numbers and you know when it's compared to mine production or even the imports that we're saying going from hong kong to china it's overtaking or at least reaching these levels on a weekly basis is what we're saying say all that physical is being pumped out of the us is just making its way to china how much. is flowing it is a crime to say it's flowing from west to east gold market well i would certainly say you know if you're looking at the federal grable production that it's nothing's meeting anywhere at any other demand anywhere else in the world so it's going to china but we've been saying they rise in imports a long time from hong kong to china say all of that gold is going into hong kong it's being shipped instantly china people take delivery of it i think in the last quarter. imports from china from hong kong is up sixty eight percent you know and last time i was on the day after we chatted the gold price fell quite significantly and has fallen again sinc

you had your own experience with all that didn't you didn't you spend all your money in shanghai more or less. that's why i'm going to spend it now. i'm going to book the most expensive hotels. but the most expensive restaurants. are terrible picture. i just like a joke. i don't think is a great artist. but i don't think it's a con man award it doesn't cheat and if you don't like the painting you just don't give anything it's up to the person. i asked him to buy t. for the painting he seemed to understand but then he went away. well. it's a tough job you have to take a risk just to get some food it's not difficult it's just not the way usually do things so how do you do. together. you have to plan it all in advance a friend so you ask me may the board you ask me to make a port that i made that i ask. for this where is my t.v. . for ports it's. i made it's. a lovely city it's for gifts not for free. sure you get used to people's attention very quickly but the people around me usually helped organize it all but nobody knows me so things are a bit different. i don't know what it means to

just to get by while travelling in china i went to shanghai i felt i could live there it was the moment the project actually started a russian girl living on the floor below me was going to leave. the one day i came to see her i'm noticed an easel there i was looking for one of the time. so i asked her to sell it to me but she didn't want to do that but it was a friend's gift apparently. that is why i offered to swap for it instead i gave her a painting in exchange for the easel it was my first barter so good when i got the idea to organize it as an art project which is your job. i started to get letters from each. one of them was from a couple that was going to get married and want to back kind of portrayed as a wedding present for themselves. but i had already left odessa so they're asked if i could do it over skype you know yes yes they told me they could give me all i need for my travel in return. so i asked if they could pay for the tickets from adesa to stumble they agreed and as a result we had a skype portrait session now and waiting on the tickets. if i decided to take annie as

you want in your you want to buy a home in shanghai you have to be from shanghai so there is a lot of strictures not just to stop people from all over speculating in homes so i don't really see it as a bubble as yet most people in chinese in particular plan to buy homes and owned them for decades and decades and give them to their children as opposed to the flipping and using homes as a is a speculative martin vehicle like like found in united states ok so i guess the the idea here is that what people are used to is that a developer will build five or ten homes and and they are looking to expand their residential property portfolio and then they go out and they market the silence but in china they build entire cities on the same concept and then they fill up the entire cities ok now let's talk about the environment in china they've had some environmental disasters and they're starting to cost as much as the economy is producing. this is a hard ceiling for economic growth in china they found heavy metals of the soil covering large swathes of the arable land so this is the detritus of i

an interesting case is eleven times larger than it is on the shanghai it's hege but having said that volumes have started dropping on. exchanges slowly taking that volume away but the back of this report we had the shanghai gold exchange the feast exchange on set and also the role of the commercial banks and the reason we looked at all of these is because in the last more lesson one hundred years china has done a basically a complete turnaround on how they're approaching gold and how people buy gold the gold price mining gold and you know in the one nine hundred thirty s. china was so the hub in asia for buying gold then there was this clampdown people weren't able to buy gold there was also an issue with buying silver the metals were supplied judah's in order to buy it and then from about nine hundred eighty we've seen this very very very slowly taking off the sofa off the clutch and letting people get more involved in the gold market in china you know but this isn't based sites this is supply and demand you know so mining within the country has gone from four tonnes and this year i

than comix comix basically is all gambling without very much to livery the shanghai gold exchange on the other hand actually does clear physical and it's typically you would see every month around about one hundred fifty maybe three hundred tonnes even clearing through that exchange is a two way traffic some of it is going to hong kong for re fabrication for selling in china and some of it was just being bought in china for only delivery in china that appears to have almost ceased the very very few delivery notices now that you'll see on that exchange the second thing is that the deliveries that occurring on comix one wonders where it's coming from when i was fascinated to see that the i don't know whether it's comix themselves or the regulator so that we can't indorse the the numbers in the vaults in the comix register vaults so this is the first time this was said which seems rather old i mean all they. worried that the numbers just don't stack up have the questions of the vault operators and find that they haven't got sufficient on says ok let me interesting let me ask you about t

consulate in shanghai so noted that the air pollution index surged past five hundred to quote beyond index category well this is where guys like paul krugman are homicidal maniacs because they say there's no inflation and yet the trillions of dollars of money printing go to china where the environmental standards are nonexistent and they create the smog that's beyond even the index and is now causing kids under ten years old to get cancer so that's you know paul paul krugman is responsible for that cancer that child in china because he's the propagandist who's trying to use the new york times to convince people that there's no inflation due to this money printing but the other thing is you know george osborne the chess with a checker here was recently in china and he from china berated the brits for not being more like the chinese but here is the truth. cost of our production model of outsourcing our pollution of outsourcing our production and wealth creation over there is that you know all these. stupid environmentalist as they are called on fox news in america introduces environmen
