Opinion | She Was Supposed to Be China’s Future. After ‘Zero Covid,’ She Wants to Leave.
|
The Chinese language dream, he defined, meant Chinese language individuals would discover prosperity and financial alternative in China underneath the Communist system. And the years that adopted delivered on that promise. However Covid has put that dream in peril. Covid zero has shaken individuals’s religion within the authorities, and the financial system has taken an enormous hit. One in 5 younger individuals in China at the moment are unemployed.

|
Produced by ‘First Person’ When Julie Geng moved back to China in 2019 after attending high school and college in the United States, the future looked full of possibility. As a young, English-speaking college graduate, she quickly found a job at an investment bank with a good salary. Then Covid hit. At first, Geng was supportive of the government’s “zero Covid” policy. But after three years, it’s made her question whether she has a future in China.

Aspen Security Forum
Legendary CIA Director Richard Helms titled his memoir, “A Look Over My Shoulder,” to describe his extraordinary career in in the intelligence community. As that book title suggests, perhaps the spymaster’s toughest task is to try to peer around corners to get a sense of threats that are now seen only dimly, if seen at all.
Ideas, Speakers & Lectures
Acoustics, intimacy, clarity: One could argue that how and where we listen to music is as important to the experience as the music itself. “The orchestra has to feel the audience, the audience has to feel the orchestra,” said architect Frank Gehry on his design of the Pierre Boulez Saal in Berlin, which opened in 2017. “When they do that, the orchestra plays better, and the audience hears better.” What is it about design that brings music to life?
Aspen Ideas Festival 2019: What Is Conservatism?
No democracy can last for long absent a morally sound and seriously intellectual conservative movement, posits New York Times op-ed columnist Bret Stephens. By definition, he argues, conservatism in any country has stood for the politics of order and caution, and for cherishing social norms.
Aspen Ideas Festival 2019: The ZIP Code Reality: Where You Live Matters
Not only is the way we work rapidly changing, the atlas of where we work — from coasts, to states, to counties — is increasingly studied and interpreted. Sixty percent of net job growth by 2030 will take place in 25 cities across the United States, while current projections suggest that other, less urban areas throughout the United States will only see a 3 percent increase in jobs.
Aspen Ideas Festival 2019: The Global Economy: A Delicate Moment
In 2018, economic activity was accelerating in almost all regions of the world. One year later, much has changed. The escalation of US-China trade tensions, credit tightening in China, and macroeconomic stress in key G20 economies have all contributed to a weakened global expansion. As the US trade war with China deepens, what are the biggest risks at this delicate moment?
Valley View Hospital's Charity Care Is Declining, Despite Tax Break
In January of 2018, a woman we’ll call Kika went to Valley View Hospital’s emergency room in Glenwood Springs. She had a sharp pain in her stomach and blood in her stool. We’re not using Kika’s real name because she’s undocumented. Her colon was swollen and bleeding. The doctors at Valley View thought she might have colon cancer. It turns out she didn’t; she did spend four days in the hospital, which she’ll spend five and a half years paying off.
Aspen Ideas Festival 2019: Is Diplomacy Dead?
The hard work of diplomacy, often mostly invisible, is arguably more important now than ever. In a shifting geopolitical landscape characterized by the emergence of Russia and China as significant rivals to the United States, new dangers threaten the American idea and an American-led world order. And yet, our diplomatic muscles have atrophied.
Carbondale Moves To Become An 'Age-Friendly Community'
On Tuesday, Carbondale’s Board of Trustees got behind the effort to make Carbondale more livable for seniors. The Carbondale Age-Friendly Communities Initiative (CAFCI) is made up of local seniors; members packed Town Hall earlier this week to encourage the town to join a network of communities through AARP. AARP will provide CAFCI with resources and connections to other communities as the group advocates for seniors.
Aspen Ideas Festival 2019: How To Be An Antiracist
“The only way to undo racism is to consistently identify and describe it—and then dismantle it,” writes professor Ibram X. Kendi. This is the essence of antiracism: the action that must follow both emotional and intellectual awareness of racism. Explore what an antiracist society might look like, how we can play an active role in building it, and what being an antiracist in your own context might mean.
Aspen Ideas Health 2019: The Influence Of Housing On Health
Improved housing offers a tremendous opportunity to boost health. Some of the links between substandard housing and poor health are obvious, if alarming – pests and mold promote asthma, lead poisoning irreversibly damages the brains of developing children, inadequate heating and ventilation increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
In Rwanda, Building A "University In A Box"
By Wyatt Orme & Tik Root U nder a bright, midday sun, a large group of prospective college students waits in the parking lot outside Kepler University, in the Rwandan capital of Kigali. The results of the morning's admissions tests will soon be taped to a large window next to the school's entrance. For many of those waiting, acceptance to Kepler could mean an end to their poverty.

Aspen Ideas Health 2019: Is Immortality The Goal?
Can aging be cured? Hypothesizing that damage to the body accumulates over time, in fairly random ways, researchers and venture capitalists are investigating the mechanisms involved and searching for therapies to prevent or reverse the harms. If their breakthroughs don’t bring true immortality, they could at least vastly extend the healthy years of human life.
Residents Have A Say In Sayre Park Improvements
Sayre Park in Glenwood Springs is due for an upgrade; an online survey asks the community what changes they’d like to see. The seven-acre park is in the heart of Glenwood Springs. It’s where Strawberry Days is hosted every June. The landscape architects making the upgrades are proposing three options, ranging from touching up the park to making some major changes. In option one, the park would get basic improvements, like resurfacing the existing basketball courts.
Census Bureau Says Local Government Is Key To Accurate Census
A representative from the Census Bureau will discuss the 2020 census with Basalt’s Town Council on Tuesday. The bureau says local governments are key to a successful census. Basalt Town Manager Ryan Mahoney says the presenter will give council an overview of the upcoming census. This is part of valley-wide efforts to make sure that everyone here gets counted in 2020. Aspen City officials have worked to form a “Complete Count Committee” in the Roaring Fork Valley.
Garfield County, Encana Negotiating Smaller Tax Refund
Garfield County might not owe the oil and gas company Encana as much money as it thought it did. In 2016, Encana claimed to have paid the county too much in tax. It wanted its money back. At the beginning of 2019, the county hired an accounting firm to comb back through the numbers with Encana.
Bear That Bit Hiker Had A Stomach Full Of Birdseed
The bear that attacked a hiker near Aspen on Memorial Day was killed last week by wildlife officers. According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW), the animal tested negative for rabies, and its stomach was almost entirely full of bird seed. CPW says the bear likely lost its natural fear of people by eating from backyard bird feeders. Bear- human interaction is very risky for both parties.

Glenwood Springs Goes All-Renewable
Glenwood Springs says, starting Saturday, all the city’s electricity will come from wind turbines in Nebraska and South Dakota. According to the mayor, Jonathan Godes, the move also saves money. “Every home, business, city building, street light, traffic light, everything is 100 percent renewable,” said Godes. The city buys electricity from the Municipal Energy Agency of Nebraska (MEAN). MEAN’s power supply comes from renewables, as well as coal-fired power plants.
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser Is Confident About Red Flag Law's Constituionality
Colorado’s Attorney General, Phil Weiser, will be in Aspen on Friday to speak about the Mueller report with Neal Katyal, a lawyer who helped write the rules for special counsel investigations back in the 1990s. Reporter Wyatt Orme spoke with Weiser about the significance of the Mueller report and what Colorado’s new Attorney General has been up to. Weiser will be speaking with Katyal at Paepke Auditorium.
Tree Farm Moves Forward, To Opposition's Chagrin
On Tuesday afternoon, Eagle County Commissioners gave the Tree Farm development in El Jebel the green light to build. This came with plenty of push-back from the public. Woody Ventures, LLC can start building 340 residential units and over 134,000 square feet of commercial space across Highway 82 from Whole Foods. Most of the public comment on Tuesday opposed the project. Save the Midvalley, a group of concerned Basalt citizens, is suing Eagle County for its approval of the Tree Farm in 2017.
Select Snowmass Trails Still Closed For Elks' Sake
The Tom Blake Trail, Anaerobic Nightmare Trail and Government Trail 1980, all in the Snowmass area, are closed until June 21 to protect elk-calving habitat. Cow elk are hungry after the long winter and need a quiet place to nurse their young. They return to the area between Two Creeks and West Buttermilk because it offers water and food. Interaction with humans can stress elk and, in some cases, lead them to abandon their calves. Violating this closure can result in fines between $50 and $5,000.
Federal Government Returns Anvil Points Money to Garfield County
Garfield County is getting over $7 million back from the federal government. The money was collected from counties in Western Colorado to clean up an oil shale reserve, operated by the Navy. The Anvil Points Federal oil shale research site, west of Rifle, was opened in the 1940s by the Navy to pioneer oil-shale mining. It was decommissioned in the 1980s and transferred to the Bureau of Land Management in the 1990s.
Basalt Native Alex Sanchez Takes Helm Of Valley Settlement
Valley Settlement is a Carbondale-based non-profit with a mission to help the immigrant community in the Roaring Fork Valley. The organization recently hired a new executive director, Alex Sanchez. Valley Settlement has many programs, from mobile preschools, to English language classes. Sanchez says, in addition to these services, he wants to make sure the Latino voice is being heard by local policymakers.
With Help From BLM, Basalt Area Gets New Fire Station
Basalt’s fire department is getting an additional station. It’ll be built on land owned by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Earlier this month, the BLM granted the Basalt and Rural Fire Protection District a right-of-way to build a new station on a little over two acres on West Sopris Creek Road, southwest of Basalt, toward the base of Mount Sopris, near Prince Creek Road.
Skeptical Of Town Government, Basalt Residents Turn To Think Tank For TABOR 101
Nearly every year since 2010, Basalt’s town council raised the property tax rate without voter approval. This is, potentially, a violation of Colorado’s Taxpayers Bill of Rights (TABOR). Some residents aren’t happy about it, and a Denver think tank is in town Tuesday to answer their questions. The town discovered the mistake in January and alerted residents to the roughly $2 million of ill-gotten tax.
Glenwood Springs Seeks Public Input On South Bridge
Glenwood Springs’ new Grand Avenue Bridge opened a year and a half ago. At the beginning of 2019, crews began remodeling the 27th Street Bridge. Now, it’s time to start talking about the South Bridge Project. The new South Bridge will cross the Roaring Fork River adjacent to the airport, giving residents in South Glenwood and along 4 Mile Road easier access to Highway 82.
Regional Study Diagnoses Housing Crunch, Says Cure Is Collaboration
Two years ago, communities from Aspen to Glenwood Springs and Parachute to Eagle funded a regional housing study. It was completed earlier this spring and argues that regional problems require regional solutions. The study’s findings measure the severity of problems many in the region already know. It’s been reported, for example, that the population is getting older and retiring.
Firefighters Will Conduct Cattle Creek Prescribed Burn, Weather Permitting
Firefighters plan to conduct a prescribed burn up Cattle Creek on Thursday. If the weather cooperates, the goal is to burn nearly 2,000 acres. Hand crews and fire engines, as well as helicopters, will ignite portions of Forest Service land near Cottonwood Pass, nine miles north of El Jebel. Thanks to the melting snowpack, conditions are wet enough to make this an ideal time for the prescribed burn. Smoke could be visible from Basalt to Glenwood Springs, and from Eagle to Gypsum.
Carbondale To Discuss Expanding Ban On Single-Use Plastic Bags
Carbondale’s Environmental Board wants the town’s trustees to ban single-use plastic bags from all town businesses. The Environmental Board cites a 2016 survey in which the respondents overwhelmingly favored banning single-use plastic bags. The current law says only businesses over 3,500 square feet can’t use them. The only business in town big enough to qualify is City Market, which hasn’t used plastic bags since 2012, with a few exceptions. The store charges customers a $0.20 fee for paper bags.
BLM Council Wants New Members, From River Guides To Ranchers
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Northwest Colorado is looking for four new members to sit on the Resource Advisory Council. The 15-person council advises the agency on land use. Anyone, from raft guides to ranchers, can apply. Ideally, candidates are from different parts of the district, too, which is the northwest chunk of the state, stretching from Craig to Breckenridge. Terms on the Resource Advisory Council are three years. It meets quarterly.
Assessment Rate Shrinks, But Not Drastically
In the fall of 2018, special taxing districts, like Colorado Mountain College (CMC), went to voters with a problem: Because of a complicated state law, growth on the Front Range meant they were in financial trouble. The danger, it turns out, wasn’t nearly as bad as expected. The trouble came from a complicated part of Colorado’s constitution, called the Gallagher Amendment.
Residents Can Weigh In On Basalt Master Plan
Mid-valley residents can weigh in on Basalt’s Master Plan again tonight. The second of three open houses on Basalt's master plan is being held at the high school tonight. The master plan is the community’s mission statement. It outlines the priorities and values of its residents, which then informs decisions the town government makes, like how much building it’ll allow, and where it’ll allow it. Community input will help shape what’s included in the plan.
New Snowblower? $300,000. Garfield County Examines 5-Year Plan
A solar panel installation in Cattle Creek? $75,000. A new mobile vacuum for the landfill to pick up wind-blown trash? $150,000. On Tuesday, the Garfield County Commissioners examined the county’s five-year capital improvement plan. The plan is a road map of expenses the county expects to have in the coming years. For example, it wants a composter at the fairgrounds in Rifle for manure and wood shavings. It also wants to replace the bathrooms there.
Flood Risk Looms In Lake Christine Fire Burn Area
Ten months ago, the Lake Christine Fire burned over 12,000 acres north of Basalt. While new grass is visible this spring in the burn area, a full recovery could take a decade. At Basalt High School on Monday night, 10 panelists spoke, all representing different government organizations, from the U.S. Forest Service, to Colorado Parks and Wildlife, to the Eagle County Sheriff. They presented to an audience of several dozen.
It’s Graduation Time At Colorado Mountain College
Colorado Mountain College (CMC) is hosting six graduations over the next several days, for its students from Aspen to Rifle. The graduates have earned bachelor’s and associate’s degrees; some are ready to become nurses and police officers. On Thursday afternoon, 19 cadets will graduate from the Colorado Law Enforcement Training Academy at the Spring Valley Campus in Glenwood Springs. All have been hired for law enforcement jobs in Colorado, some as close as the Carbondale Police Department.
Eagle County Commits To 100% Renewable Electricity
Eagle County says its administration buildings are now powered by renewable energy. Last week, the county commissioners signed a resolution, which, among other things, opted into Holy Cross Energy’s Renewable Energy Purchase Program (REPP). Eagle County says it’s shrunk its carbon footprint, considerably. The county will pay a little extra on electric bills to Holy Cross Energy. The utility will invest that in renewable energy projects, like solar arrays and wind farms.
