Political Question Eu And Uas

Who will win in a war between the USA and a coalition of China and Russia?

In the today's world the military power is measured not in aircraft carriers and nukes, but in dollars and yuans.Countries are destroyed not by tanks, but by economical sanctions, corrupt politicians and staged coups.I was born in one of such countries (USSR). It has had x6 more nukes than today’s Russia, stronger army and better fleet. Yet it was destroyed. Without a single bullet, using only economic and political measures.So, who will win in the war between USA vs coalition between China and Russia?The following diagram could help to find the answer.It shows the strength of the economical ties between the countries, and the size of their economies (as of 2014).Area of the circle is proportional to the nominal GDP of the country. Thickness of connections is proportional to the corresponding bilateral trade volume.The first thing that catches the eye is the strong economic interdependence between China, US and EU. A coalition between them makes significantly more practical sense than a coalition between China and Russia.The second thing is the relative weakness of the hypothetical China-Russia coalition.Let’s assume that the war is not nuclear (as the result of such war is obvious). The first move of the US in such scenario is to introduce economic sanctions against the coalition. The result of the sanctions:It means a severe economic crisis in China and a complete collapse of the Russian economy. There are food riots in both countries, followed by armed insurgency.China is severely crippled. Russia is repeating the fate of the USSR.The end of the coalition.There is a economic crisis in the EU and US too (the US is a bit better). But the war is over.Nobody won.

If the US decides to stop importing from China, how much will China suffer?

There are many very good answers here. I would like to point out that “stop importing from China” is a very vague rule. So what could you mean by that phrase? Let’s give two extreme scenarios:(1) You cannot import anything sold by a Chinese-domiciled company.This is very easy to get around. Neighbouring East Asian countries will benefit greatly because of their new ability to play middleman between China and USA. So company “McChinaman Limited” will sell to “Singapore Middleman Co” and then “Singapore Middleman Co” will sell to “USA Importer LLC”.China has FTAs (free trade agreements) with most countries in the Asia-Pacific region. So it’s pretty trivial for them to re-route the goods through a third party, and the third-party can get a fee for doing pretty much nothing at all.(2) You cannot import anything which has, in its supply chain (recursively, so to any depth of the supply chain), anything sold by a Chinese-domiciled company.This means you basically can’t import almost anything at all. That would massively debilitate the US economy. Keep in mind US-manufactured products often also contain Chinese-made parts in their supply chain.Therefore:Probably you need some rule about how much of the “value added” is done in China, or some other quantitative “line in the sand”.Hey guess what: China’s “value added” is often not that much! How much money do you think Foxconn makes from every sale of an iPhone? How much money do you think Apple makes?So your import ban is most likely to result in case (1).Conclusion:USA will suffer. China will suffer. Other countries (middlemen) will benefit. Go ahead USA, make us non-Chinese non-US people richer. We’re looking forward to it.

How do I get a full scholarship to the top US universities?

As others have already said, financial aid at the schools you listed is based on need. Each school calculates an Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and deducts it form the Cost of Attendance (COA). These schools make up the difference with grants and work study. They don’t expect families to take out loans to pay off the difference.Keep in mind that a family’s expected contribution to the cost of their child’s education includes household assets. The students assets are expected to be applied to the cost of an education at Harvard, Stanford, Wharton and Yale. Typically a student is expected to contribute 20% of his or her assets each year to the cost of his or her education. So if a student has a trust, a savings account, a educational savings plan in his or her name, then 20% of this asset will be used in the calculation of the family’s EFC. In addition, the parents of the child, whether married or not, are expected to contribute 5% of their assets to their child’s COA. Schools like Harvard, etc. include a wide range of assets such as home and business equity, cash on hand, stocks and bonds, real estate equity, trusts, and retirement accounts.If a family has less than $65,000 but a significant amount of assets, it will not get a free ride. And a family with $150,000 in income may only be expected to apply 10% of its income to their child’s education at Stanford, but if it has a house worth $500,000 to $600,000, several hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings and another couple hundreds of thousands in stocks and bonds along with a vacation home valued at $250,000, the family’s Expected Family Contribution can quickly approach $60,000 to $70,000 and there goes any thought of financial aid.
