divorce

France has begun to retire Windows from its administration. It is the beginning of his divorce from Microsoft, Google and Amazon

by

Digital sovereignty in Europe has gone from being a theoretical concept to something increasingly tangible and desirable with respect to the technology we consume. It is no longer just a trend that is increasingly more individual people are tryingbut has also become an object of desire for administrations and companies. The path to becoming independent from big tech in the United States is not easy and while there are startups like Mistral who gets rich in the processthere is a state that has decided to take a brave step forward: France. In a global environment where data and infrastructure are geopolitical weapons, the French Government, through the Interministerial Directorate for Digital (DINUM), has launched an aggressive roadmap to regain control over their information systems, thus reducing the hegemony of non-EU technological solutions. And it has started with Windows. The decision. In a high-level inter-ministerial seminar, DINUM together with ANSSI, the State Purchasing Directorate and the DGE formalized the most ambitious commitment to digital sovereignty adopted to date by a Western European power. Or what is the same: France wants to exit the American technological ecosystem in a systematic, planned way and with specific deadlines. It is not an experiment, it is state policy. The guideline is clear: map and reduce dependence on technology suppliers from outside the EU. The measure is not a veto but rather a mandatory transition towards a model where public administration must prioritize local or open source solutions, especially in critical services and sensitive data processing. As has declared the Minister of Action and Public Accounts David Amiel: “ We can no longer accept that our data, our infrastructure and our strategic decisions depend on solutions whose rules, prices, evolution and risks we do not control.” Why is it important. From a systems engineering and cybersecurity point of view, the measure is vital for issues such as protecting against Cloud Act of the United States, the law that allows its authorities to access data stored in American companies regardless of where the servers are located. On the other hand, it guarantees that the state maintains its necessary technical capabilities to operate its own infrastructure without depending on proprietary “black boxes” and to heal itself in the event of a change in conditions or other external problems. But this phased migration is much more than an OS change: it involves dismantling the entire associated ecosystem, certificates and applications designed for Windows. It means rebuilding the digital foundations of the state from the roots so that they function with total autonomy and without foreign parts, without citizens noticing the change on the surface. Context. Our daily personal, professional and bureaucratic lives live in an ecosystem governed by hyperscalersthose technology companies like Microsoft, Google or Amazon that dominate storage and cloud computing. This mention is not random: they alone eat more than 60% of the cloud cake, as Statista collects. The increase in cyber threats and the US technological monopoly in the West and its increasingly invasive turn to the privacy of others have done the rest. France has been maturing the doctrine for years “Cloud au Center“. While the ANSSI audited the dependencies on critical infrastructures, its sovereign cloud was being forged as a real alternative. In addition, the European regulatory framework, with the NIS2 directive wave cyber resilience lawhas created the ideal breeding ground. With tools like TchapVisio, FranceTransfert and Socle Numérique (alternatives to WhatsApp, Teams, WeTransfer or Microsoft 365, respectively) France no longer only has a plan, but a real operational base on which to scale. The plan towards sovereignty. It is neither a toast to the sun nor does it have vague and diffuse measurements or distant dates, but concrete, tangible movements and which is either already being implemented or is scheduled to be completed before the end of the year: DINUM abandons Windows and migrates its jobs to Linux. It is the first central State agency to do so. Already underway. Migration of 80,000 agents from the Caisse Nationale d’Assurance Maladie (equivalent to Social Security) to sovereign tools: Tchap, Visio and FranceTransfert. Already underway. Migration of the health data platform to a reliable European solution. Scheduled for the end of 2026. Duties for each ministry: present a dependency reduction plan, which includes databases, antivirus, AI or collaborative tools. For this fall. Yes, but. France has a basic skeleton and a legal framework, as well as public-private coalitions to accelerate the transition through concrete and measurable public commitments. But it won’t be easy. Exiting Windows involves disassembling Active Directory and what is behind it, something that costs a lot of time and money. And migrating 80,000 agents to new tools is not so much a technology problem but rather a problem of implementing new management. Also, go out where. Many European solutions still do not reach the integration, ease of use and capacity (especially in AI) of American big tech, which implies a step backwards in terms of quality. But even if it were possible, moving from a proprietary infrastructure to a sovereign one implies an enormous investment in time, personnel training and data migration. Finally, maintaining and evolving our own infrastructure requires specialized and experienced personnel in a market where talent is scarce and expensive.

Microsoft seemed to be the ‘paymaster’ of the AI ​​industry. His divorce from OpenAI is proving just the opposite

by

OpenAI now has completed its transition to a for-profit organization after years after that, and Microsoft has in the process sealed the agreement that redefines their relationship. It maintains a 27% stake (valued at $135 billion) and also gains something potentially more valuable: autonomy to develop AGI on your own. Why is it important. Microsoft has gone from being a kind of AI “pagafantasy”, seeing how OpenAI was the one who took the spotlight day in and day out, with the only benefit of Azure rise; to become the player best positioned to dominate its infrastructure, its models and its commercial application. You have paid for access… and you have ended up buying independence. In detail. The new framework extends Microsoft’s intellectual property rights until 2032, including on post-AGI models. You will also be able to use some of OpenAI’s intellectual property to advance your own projects—albeit with computational limits—and collaborate with third parties. Before I couldn’t. Now yes. The panoramic. Microsoft stops depending on the rhythms, decisions and crises of OpenAI. It remains its main infrastructure partner (with an additional contract of 250,000 million in Azure, a quarter of a billion with a ‘b’ for ‘barbarism’), but it no longer needs to wait for Sam Altman to declare that it has reached the AGI. You can do it on your own. Or better yet: with others. The pact buries the clause that most irritated Satya Nadella: the one that prevented him from competing for the AGI. That limitation turned Microsoft into a kind of patron with its hands tied. It is now a co-owner, supplier and potential competitor. In perspective. The turn does not break the alliance, in fact it consolidates it: OpenAI gains freedom to raise capital, essential to finance his 1.4 billion plan in data centers. And Microsoft maintains preferential access to its models until 2032. Both companies, in any case, are preparing for the phase in which AI stops being software and definitively becomes infrastructure. In Xataka | OpenAI started out as open and non-profit.

Openai and Microsoft’s convenience marriage touches its end. The divorce, surprisingly, is being friendly

by

Openai and Microsoft have reached a preliminary agreement in which the new terms of their business relationship are established. In it Official announcement It is made clear that the terms of the agreement still have to define themselves, but there is a clear thing: the idyll is finally ended. Why is it important. What began as a idyllic relationship It has ended up becoming almost a toxic relationship that was preventing both companies from looking for other paths. Between 2019 and 2023 Microsoft invested more than 13,000 million in OpenAiwhat according to The New York Times gave Microsoft about 49% of OpenAi’s future benefits. OpenAi getting rid of their chains. The firm led by Sam Altman has been trying to change its structure and get become a profit company (“For-Profit”). The agreement with Microsoft, who did not want to give up his privileges, was one of the obstacles, but this agreement seems to pave the way for that business transformation. The discord clause. The original agreement included a clause that He rescinded access from Microsoft to OpenAi’s most advanced models when it is I would decide that had reached the famous General Artificial Intelligence or AGI. This clause is still part of the new agreement but has been modified according to sources close to the process Possible outposive. The agreement could “unlock” Openai both in its passage to “for-profit” and for a potential outlet. Right now OpenAi cannot get money from the general public and the traditional investment market, But it would remain managed by the NGO. The startup also indicated that it would offer at least 100,000 million dollars to the non -profit organization that will continue to control Openai’s future once it is transition to its new format. Bret Taylor, company manager, affirmed that in this way the NGO would be “one of the philanthropic organizations with more resources in the world.” Sources close to the agreement indicate that this NGO would have an OpenAI participation that would exceed 20%. What both were looking for. The long commercial relationship has been beneficial for both parties, but market growth has caused one and another to seek ways to continue growing in the AI ​​market and this agreement blocked them largely. According to sources close to the aforementioned negotiations In axios: Microsoft wanted to continue having access to OpenAi’s technology and products, something logical considering that he reverts them Like your Copilot services. Openai wanted freedom to move forward with his restructuring plans and to reach agreements with other infrastructure providers, as has happened with Oracle this week. A friendly divorce. In recent times it has been seen how both OpenAi and Microsoft have been making movements that were clearly aimed at search for a plan B In the AI ​​race. That was causing a delicate situation that now seems to soften satisfactorily for both companies. In Xataka | The marriage between Openai and Microsoft is broken at times.

The divorce of China and Nvidia is a fact. The Xi Jinping government no longer recommends Chinese chips: it demands them

by

China is touring a path that has no going back. US sanctions and their allies prevent Chinese companies and public institutions that are dedicated to the development of models of artificial intelligence (AI) access the most advanced GPUs that design NVIDIA, AMD or brains, among other Western alignment companies. And in these circumstances the government led by Xi Jinping only has one option: minimize China’s dependence of technologies from abroad. In early October 2024 The administration arrived To the companies of Chinese a recommendation in which it asked them to use chips produced in China as much as possible. Ten months later, According to SCMPthis recommendation has become a demand. And it is that the Chinese government is already forcing data centers that belong to the State throughout the country to use at least 50% of Chinese integrated circuits on its servers. This scenario clearly favors a company: Huawei. Huawei has a unique opportunity, but also a monumental challenge Huawei invests more than $ 25,000 million annually in The development of your hardware for AIso presumably it will not take long to match the benefits of the GPUs produced by NVIDIA or AMD. His most ambitious proposal right now is the chip Ascend 910dwho seeks to overcome the performance of the GPU NVIDIA H100. However, this Chinese company has also recently presented its chip Ascend 920a solution that is clearly destined to occupy in the Chinese market the gaps that it will leave The H20 GPU of Nvidia. This proposal will enter large -scale production during the second half of 2025 using 6 NM integration technology that have presumably developed elbow with Huawei elbow and SMIC (Semiconductor manufacturing international corp). Nevertheless, Huawei faces a huge challenge that probably in the short term it will prevent you from satisfying the demand for chips for Ia from the Chinese market. In the middle of last June Jeffrey Kessler, the Undersecretary of Commerce for Industry and Security of the US Department of Commerce, He made this statement In Congress: “Our evaluation indicates that the production capacity of Huawei Ascend “Our evaluation indicates that the production capacity of Huawei Ascend by 2025 will be 200,000 units or less, and we foresee that the majority or all of that production will be delivered to companies within China.” This prediction about the production capacity of avant -garde chips for Huawei is sustained on an irrefutable fact: the mate of the integration technologies used by the Chinese manufacturer of SMIC semiconductors to produce the Huawei GPUs has a very wide margin of improvement. SMIC already has the ability to manufacture 6 Nm integrated circuits, and soon it can also produce 5 Nm semiconductors, but is limited by the performance of the deep ultraviolet lithography equipment (UVP) you have in your possession. It is meritorious that SMIC and HUAWEI engineers have managed to refine their integrated circuit manufacturing processes what is necessary to produce 5, 6 and 7 nm chips With ASML UVP teams, but a priori it is very unlikely that with these machines they will be able to go beyond the 3 Nm. And it is because the technique of Multiple patterningwhich is what they are using, imposes important limitations. A note: This strategy in broad strokes consists in transferring the pattern to the wafer in several passes with the purpose of increasing the resolution of the lithographic process. His problem is that he usually has an upward impact on the cost of chips and the decline in production capacity. For Huawei it is a big problem not to have the necessary technology to produce avant -garde semiconductors comparable to those who manufacture Intel, TSMC or Samsung, so it is working on the development of its own team of extreme ultraviolet photolithography (UVE).

The key was a divorce at the right time

When you think about Steve Jobs as a billionairethe most logical thing is to link that wealth with Apple. However, what really catapulted that category of Milmillonario It wasn’t the iPhonethe Mac or the iPod. It was a small animation company called Pixar. And, curiously, Pixar only existed as an independent company because George Lucas divorced his wife. The flutter of a butterfly, in animation version. George Lucas and his divorce In the late 70s, George Lucas was already one of Hollywood’s most successful directors. In full Star Wars ProductionLucas had founded Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), the study of special effects that marked a trend for innovations in special effects and animation that applied in the productions of the Lucas saga. In 1980, Lucas hired two computer experts: Ed Catmull and Alvy Ray Smith. Together they founded the computer graphics division within ILM, and from that department they began to develop Pioneer tools on CGI (Computer-Genered Imagery). Later John Lasseter would join, a young animator expelled from Disney for betting too soon for digital animation. Among the three engineers laid the foundations of what would later be Pixar. But, at that time, they were only a small technical division within the study. In parallel, George Lucas’s personal life staggered. His marriage to Mountain Marcia Lucas – who won an Oscar For your work at Star Wars– He collapsed, and ended up divorcing in 1983. The divorce process was complex and Lucas had to pay his ex -wife 50 million dollars. And that forced Lucas to Sell assets To deal with payments. To avoid getting rid of the entire production study, it fractioned it by departments and, one of those departments was precisely the division of computer graphics in which Catmull, Smith and Lasseter worked. Steve Jobs enters the scene In 1985, Steve Jobs had been fired from Apple, the company he founded, and was looking for new projects to invest. When he learned that George Lucas wanted to part with his computer division, he saw an opportunity. Lucas requested 30 million dollars for that department. But Jobs negotiated until you reduce the purchase to about 5 million. Lucas rejected the offer for being too low. Disney also made an offer, but it was even lower. Finally, Steve Jobs made an offer again for the CGI division of Lucasfilm, although this time it would be for an investment of 10 million dollars: 5 million to take the technology they had developed and another 5 million to capitalize on the new company. Thus Pixar was bornwith an initial team of 40 people, including Catmull, Smith and Lasseter. Toy Story changed the game For almost a decade, Pixar did not produce films. Sold hardware and software specialized in graphics and computer -generated effects, such as the Pixar Image Computeraimed at very niche markets in the medical and graphic industry. That specialization made Pixar was not profitable And Jobs was about to close The company several times. Salvation came in the form of an alliance with Disney. Pixar agreed to produce three animated films generated entirely by computer. The first one was Toy Story (1995), which revolutionized the industry and was a criticism and box office raising 360 million dollars worldwide. To take advantage of the moment, Pixar went over the same month of the premiere. On their first day, the shares shot up to $ 39. And that made Steve Jobs a billionaire in the spot. It was his first great business victory after his departure from Apple. Thanks to Pixar’s success, Jobs recovered his reputation as a technological visionary. That gave him confidence and merits to return to his charge as CEO of Apple in 1997. But his adventure with Pixar had not finished. For years, Pixar continued to operate as an independent study, although His films They were distributed under the umbrella and Marketing of Disney chaining successes as looking for Nemo or Cars. In 2006, the Mickey Mouse company bought Pixar for 7,400 million dollars in shares. Pixar’s purchase operation provided Jobs 138 million shares, which meant 7% of Disney’s shares, becoming the main private shareholder of Disney and allowed him to occupy a seat on his board of directors. That percentage of shares would currently be valued at about 15,577 million dollars. Not bad to have been an investment of 10 million.

His previous divorce went to pay

In just a few weeks the man with the third greatest fortune in the world will walk Towards the altar To give the “yes I want” with her current fiance, the journalist, pilot and Occasional astronaut Lauren Sánchez. However, at the moment both parties would be discussing calmly what would happen with all that fortune if they decide to divorce in the future. After giving up a good part of his heritage in his first link, Bezos has learned the lesson and prefers to have everything well tied with a prenuptial agreement so that it does not happen again. More than a wedding, a business fusion. Jeff Bezos’ fortune at this time is estimated at about 231.8 billion dollars according to Forbesbut Lauren Sánchez is not far behind since, in addition to being a journalist with a long professional career On television, too founded The audiovisual producer Black Ops Aviation, specialized in aerial filming. Therefore, the union of both arises, in legal terms, almost as a business fusion in which each party makes its heritage clear before the link. In fact, according to The published by The Economic TimesBezos’ lawyers began the negotiation of their prenuptial agreement months ago, with the aim of granting Sánchez lawyers enough to review it and propose amendments to such a complex legal text. It’s not just a courtesy. In doing so in this way, Millionaire’s lawyers shield themselves to hypothetical challenge in the future. A armored agreement. California legislation requires premarital agreements to be “conscious.” That is, all the couple’s assets must be put on the table to prevent hidden goods in the future. This is especially important when, as is the case, one of the signatories has less goods than the other. According to Alphense Provinziano, a lawyer specialized in family law, this “is not any presuptial agreement. It is designed to resist any legal challenge.” The agreement forces Bezos to be transparent in the declaration of their assets, so that Sanchez could not subsequently claim any hidden active if the marriage failed. According to Provinziano, “(Bezos) is making sure that Sanchez has his own legal team and plenty of time to review the agreement,” said the lawyer. Again, ensure access to the best legal advice protects the millionaire of future challenges of that agreement. Bezos’s bad experience. They say that the human being is the only animal that stumbles twice with the same stone, but when that stone represents 4% of the value of a giant as Amazonit is better to take due precautions. After her previous 25 -year marriage with the writer and philantral Mackenzie Bezos, the founder of Amazon had to accept A divorce agreement of 38,000 million dollars for not having a premarital contract. Bezos has learned the lesson. Bezos’ divorce resulted in the transfer of 4% of Amazon’s actions to his ex -wife, turning Mackenzie Scott into one of the richest women in the world thanks to signing one of the most expensive divorces in history. The second in economic importance was that of Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates with An agreement of 12.5 billion dollars. The couple’s legacy. On the other hand, such and as they highlight From the Douglas Family buffet, the premarital agreement also contemplates the couple’s legacy to their respective children as a result of previous relations. That is, it is not an agreement that only delimits the possessions of each party, but also defines the terms of what corresponds to each party In case of death of some of them. On the other hand, in the premarital agreements of this type, the philanthropic projects of the couple. Sanchez has been increasingly involved in the direction of the Bezos Earth Fundfounded by the millionaire to foster economic growth maintaining the sustainability of the planet. In fact, Sanchez recently received A prize in Cannes On behalf of the Bezos Foundation. In this agreement, the role of Bezos and Sánchez is established in their common philanthropic projects in case of divorce or death.

Xi Jinping has just decreed the final technological divorce with the United States

Nvidia engineers have almost ended the development of a GPU with Blackwell microarchitecture with a single purpose: power replace chip h20 They cannot sell in China. The US Department of Commerce vetoed such exports, so the firm led by Jensen Huang He looked for an exit with a chip adapted to government demands. TSMC is expected to start making this GPU this month, but That effort may even help. Not that Nvidia is fighting with the Absolute distrust of US legislators: China is turning its back. As indicated In SCMPthat chip for the Chinese market is not ready. In the conference for investors that Jensen Huang gave last week he indicated that “the key is to understand the limits and know if we can develop interesting products that can remain useful for the Chinese market. We have nothing to announce at the moment, but we are considering it.” Xi Jinping wants to eliminate the US software and hardware dependence, and is on its way to get it Huang made a surprise trip to China when the veto was announced to those exports in mid -April, and met with several senior Chinese officials to express their commitment to this market. The new chip that theoretically prepares for China will be significantly cheaper than H20but those statements of the CEO of Nvidia already made it clear that it would not be based on said microarchitecture. For Nvidia that effort is logical: during the last fiscal year that ended on January 26, 2025, China represented about 13% of its global income: about 17,000 million dollars. It is the third best client of the company, only behind the US and Taiwan, but the sanctions that the United States government is deploying were one of the great threats to Nvidia’s survival in the Asian giant. The other is even more worrying. Xi Jinping made clear in a session with the Chinese politician that China’s goal is to “deduct” the country’s technologies set Meanwhile, China continues to work tirelessly to completely eliminate its traditional United States dependence in this segment. Companies that are designing GPUS for games and artificial intelligence (AI), and the Chinese government is subsidizing them remarkably after US sanctions. Companies like HuaweiMetax, Biren Technology, Moore ThreadsInnosilicon, Zhaoxin, Iluvatar Orex, Deglinai, Lisuan Technology Or Vastai Tech work in that field. In fact, the problem for Huang and Nivdia is that Xi Jinping made clear in a session With the Chinese politician that China’s objective is to “deduct” the country’s technologies set. All the development of China, both software and hardware, must end up depending on solutions developed in the country. Thus, no matter the efforts that Nvidia can do to create chips adapted to the Chinese market: the president of China wants to depend only on Chinese technology To boost the development of your AI, and that means a worrying news for Nvidia.

More and more millennial couples embrace the “Divorce of Dream” taboo

by

Sleeping together has been an unquestionable symbol of conjugal love for decades. Today it begins to seem rather a convention that is not entirely comfortable for everyone. The idea that a couple must share bed every night no longer seems as obvious or assumed as in the past: rest gains ground to the ritual. What is happening. The call Sleep divorce (or ‘Divorce of sleep’) grows in popularity. It consists of sleeping in beds or even in separate rooms. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine43% of Millennials in USA You already practice it occasionally or regularly. In Spain, 40% have considered it, although stigma still weighs. The main motivation? Sleep better. Between the lines. The shared dream is no longer interpreted univocally. For many people, Bad sleep because of the couple —Ronquidos, insomnia, different rhythms – it affects more to the link than sleep separately. The decision usually arises after adaptation attempts or after prolonged episodes of poor rest. It is not so much a breakdown of habits as a readjustment. In perspective. The use of the bed as a symbol of conjugal unit is relatively recent. Historically, the upper classes slept separately, and the shared beds were more a functional resource of the popular classes. Over time, the marriage bed acquired a strong symbolic load … that today is at the beginning of a review. The break begins despite more than the symbol. Misunderstand It is linked A greater irritability, less empathy and more couple conflicts. Interruptions in one tend to drag the other. Faced with this, sleeping separately can offer a practical solution, without necessarily implying link loss or decrease in desire. Yes, but. Not all couples live it the same. In some cases, one of the members accepts reluctantly, for fear that the night distance will also generate an emotional distance. Others fear losing spaces of intimacy or sexual spontaneity. In The countrya woman explains how her partner was the one who proposed to sleep in separate rooms: “At first, I felt fatal. He no longer loves me! I thought.” Only later he lived it as a relief. His testimony reflects a common pattern: when the proposal is not mutual, it can arouse emotional insecurity. BBC World He quotes the psychiatrist Stephanie Collier, who warns that, for many couples who barely coincide during the day, the moment of bedtime is her only intimate space. Separating into that section requires “reconfiguring the moments of connection”, or the night separation could lead to resentment if it is not spoken and agreed. The decision is not always symmetrical or simple. The phenomenon begins to echo out of the domestic sphere. According to the AASM37% of couples prefer separate beds during their stays in hotels. Rest prioritization can change the idea of ​​intimacy in relationships.

Weddings have fallen to historical minimums in full divorce boom

by

Although His efforts, tax advantagesyou aid, incentives And even his effort for campaign In favor of love and marriages, China is not able to solve what seems to be its Great Achilles heel: Demography. 2024 closed with a Very light rebound of births, but not even that prevented the country from losing population due to Third consecutive year. As if that were little Beijing recorded two data that darkens its horizon: a descent pronounced in marriages and an increase in divorces. Apart from its impact on the country’s demographic pyramid, the figures tell us about something else: the speed (and clarity) with which Chinese society is being transformed. Weddings, in minimal. The figures who has just revealed the Ministry of Civil Affairs leave little margin for interpretations: in China The nuclear family loses weight. And at a good pace. In 2024, 6.1 million couples were given ‘yes in the country, nefarious fact for three reasons. The first is that it supposes 20.5% less that in 2023. The second is that Mark The historical minimum In official statistics, which start in 1986. In other words, never so few couples had passed through the altar in the Asian giant. At least throughout the last 38 years. Is it a novelty? At all. And that is the third reason why the link data is a headache for Beijing: it results in A trend that the Chinese authorities observe For a long time. 2024 is not the first year in which ‘click’ the bridal statistics. On the contrary. Break with the very brief wedding rebound in 2023 and takes up a downward trend that dates back to 2013. The bad fact of recent months allows us to think that the increase in marriages of 2023 was basically fruit that many couples who had had to postpone their weddings because of their weddings because of Pandemia. After all, 6.1 million links may seem like many, but they do not even half of those nearby 13 million marriages that were recorded in the country 12 years ago. Wedding Question … and Divorcios. It’s not just that less couples get married. The thing is They separate more. In his case the trend is not so clear; but that the ruptures increase (even slightly) while weddings fall to mark a historical minimum aggravates Beijing’s concerns. Throughout 2024 they requested the dissolution of their marriage 2.6 million of couples, which represents 28,000 more that in 2023. The data is interesting in itself, but it is even more significant in its context. Divorces do not grow without more. They do it despite the efforts of the Chinese authorities to achieve the opposite: Create couples, Promote marriages and even slow down the separations. Since January 2021 the Chinese cannot be divorced without more. The law forces them to go through A “reflection” period Of 30 days, a period that begins to run after the request for separation and during which any of the parties can be back, which puts the counter again. And why that effort? This graph Statista helps to understand the effort of the Chinese authorities for fostering marriages: over the last years the birth rate and the link seems to go hand in hand, both downstairs. The CNN chain remember In addition, social norms and even government regulation complicate that Chinese couples who have not married have children. And diminishing birth is one of the great challenges ahead of Beijing, just as it is For Tokyo either Seoul. “A demographic Achilles heel”. During An interview Recent with Reuters, Yi Fuxian, demographer of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, spoke directly of the “Demographic Achilles heel” of China and warned that if the country fails to correct its birth crisis, you can see “ruined” their “political political ambitions and economic “. After all, birth has a clear economic, social and political drift and faces China to the complicated perspective of facing A aged futurewith hundreds of millions of pensioners throughout the country. Data tyranny. It may seem exaggerated, but the data is clear. After growing at a good pace For decadesChina entered a first phase in which its population He stagnated to which he has followed, already in recent years, another stage of clear decrease. In 2022 the country registered Your first loss of inhabitants since the 1960s and in the last triennium he has maintained the negative sign. Not just that. The country has seen how It was reduced The active population, between 16 and 59, while the elderly increased. Beyond birth. Chinese statistics do not tell us only a birth crisis. In a way they show deep changes at the social level, reflecting a country in which marriages lose weight, divorces and young people increase simply They prioritize other aspects of his life. “Energy is limited, so I eliminate what exhausts me most. The first? The quotes,” I confessed recently to South China Morning Post Owen Cao, a 22 -year -old Chinese who combines his first postgraduate course with responsibilities at the student club and his hobbies. A (brief) demographic relief. Chinese authorities have deployed a ambitious measures battery To reverse the situation that includes tax advantages for couples, better health care to pregnant women and even promoteIn classrooms the importance of couples and motherhood. In 2024 the country registered 9.54 million birthsmore than the 9.02 million of 2023, but still its population descended and there is doubt about how much of that increase responds to the influence of COVID and beliefs on The Dragon Year. The fall in the number of marriages to historical minimums does not paint a flattering future.

Former tennis player goes viral for announcing divorce from her soccer player husband and incursion into OnlyFans on video

by

The Russian extensionist Arina Rodionova It is giving something to talk about on social networks. The reason? A video that she uploaded to her Instagram account with her husband Ty Vickery. In the recording he informed about his divorce plans and his intention to venture into OnlyFans. The clip has had media exposure not only because of the advertisement, but because of the form. Both participated ended laughing. The Australian citizen did not specify the reasons for the separation and limited herself to saying that love is not always enough. “Hey guys, we have a quick announcement to make, we are getting divorced. Life happens. We love each other a lot, but sometimes it’s not enough. “We are fine, we are fine with each other, we wish each other the best,” he said. The life of Arina It’s been busy the last few days. The tennis player participated in the Australian Open that is currently being played, but was eliminated against the German Eva Lys. This caused him to later announce his retirement from the profession. Likewise, he announced that he will now dedicate himself to creating content on the platform for adults OnlyFans.
