A typical example of US infrastructure projects not based on needs but the pay to play political system in the name of fake freedom democracy and human rights. It was planned as a free gift by Former Honolulu Mayors and Honolulu City Council Members to Ewa side land owners to allow them to build 600,000+ new houses, Ala Moana Shopping Center and Hotels Owners in Waikiki (bypassing UH Manoa and Honolulu International Airport where most needed). The failed project cost balloon from US$5 to $12.5 billions with further increases expected.

HART’s Expecting Fewer Riders — Even Absent The Pandemic By Marcel Honore and Kevin Dayton

The latest ridership forecast for the Honolulu rail project is significantly lower than previous estimates.

The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation previously expected to see as many as 122,800 daily boardings by 2030 on Oahu’s future rail line.

Now, the agency estimates that number to be around 101,000 boardings based on its most recent internal modeling, which was done in May.

The lower forecast is based on a decline in Honolulu’s public bus ridership in recent years, HART officials say.

Despite the dampened forecast, the heads of the Department of Transportation Services say that they still believe the line will prove useful on Oahu.

University of California’s new tuition math – University of California regents, citing the need for financial stability and more grant aid, approved a tuition increase after widespread student protests and two years of debate.

The 4.2% increase in tuition and fees — $534 added to the current annual level of $12,570 — will apply only to incoming undergraduates entering in fall 2022 and stay flat for up to six years for them. Successive undergraduate classes would get a similar deal — one increase tied to inflation in their incoming year with tuition frozen for six years.

The undergraduate tuition increase includes a 2% surcharge for the incoming class next year, declining for subsequent classes until it is phased out by 2026. Graduate student tuition would be adjusted annually by the rate of inflation.

The plan aims to bring financial predictability to families, help struggling campuses maintain educational standards, and make a UC education more affordable for many low-income students by raising more revenue for financial aid, UC President Michael V. Drake said.

He oversaw a similar tuition plan at Ohio State University before taking the reins at UC last year and said it had increased financial aid, lowered student debt levels, and increased student diversity. Under the plan, 45% of tuition revenue raised from California students would be returned to them through financial aid.

The regents’ action marked UC’s second tuition increase since 2011 and came after two years of discussion. It was set for a vote last July but shelved with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fortune Of Didi Global’s Billionaire CEO Tumbles Hundreds Of Millions Dollars In One Day. It’s been a painful month for Didi Global. Days after its June 30th IPO on the New York Stock Exchange, the Cyberspace Administration of China launched a probe into the company, citing data security risks. Didi Global was forced to remove its app from the Chinese app store, and the stock fell. On Thursday morning, Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, reported that Chinese regulators are discussing further penalties against Didi Global, including a fine or a possible delisting. That sent shares down to a low of $10.17; ultimately closing at $10.20.

As a result, the net worths of DiDi’s CEO Cheng and its President Jean Qing Liu have taken big hits. Cheng is now worth $3.2 billion – down from $4.4 billion at the IPO, Forbes estimates. Cheng owns approximately 6.5% of the company.

China’s economic miracle in numbers by Global Times Jul 22 2021

Editor’s Note: On July 1, China declared that it had reached its first centenary goal – building a moderately prosperous society, or xiaokang, in all respects, and it is marching confidently toward the second centenary goal of building China into a great modern socialist country. To decipher what that means in the context of where China is and where it is heading, the Global Times is publishing a series of multimedia products about various aspects of the achievements under the xiaokang goal.

This is an infographic focusing on figures and indexes that underscore China’s economic miracle.
