But, while their sympathy for the Ukrainian cause is near-universal, the conclusions for the island’s own future widely diverge.

China’s Brain Drain Threatens Its Future
Is China reopening to the world or turning inward again? Many would argue the latter, but in one important way, the country is still going global: Residents appear to be leaving at a faster clip than they have in years, including a significant number of the wealthy and well-educated the nation needs to keep modernizing and investing. Rising numbers of footloose Chinese in 2023 shouldn’t be a surprise. Getting out of the country is easier again now that pandemic controls have been dropped.

Services activity hits 3-month low in June
PMI Business Activity Index to 58.5 in June, compared with 61.2 in May. This is the second month of decline after services PMI had scaled a 13-year high of 62 in April. A value of over 50 denotes expansion. Despite the easing, growth prospects strengthened as firms expected demand conditions to improve. “Demand for Indian services continued to surge higher in June, with all four monitored subsectors registering quicker increases in new business inflows,” said Pollyanna De Lima, economics associate director at S&P Global Market Intelligence. The 400 service firms highlighted healthy demand and marketing initiatives as major contributors for the uptick in new business. The better outlook bodes well for the economy, as manufacturing is expected to ease owing to the global slowdown.
