China is pledging to invest upwards of $400 billion in Iran's petrochemical and manufacturing sectors following an August visit by Iran's Foreign Minister to Beijing. The agreement directly undermines US attempts to isolate Iran from global markets and adds a new stressor to the US-China rivalry.

When it comes to setting housing targets, rather than threatening local government with the removal of its powers, State premiers would perhaps be better served by ensuring the targets they set are achievable. Designed to tackle a spectrum of housing-related issues, including rapid population growth, diminishing supply, and worsening affordability, housing targets have become the 'go-to' policy response for governments seeking to accelerate supply and stabilise prices, typically within a specified timeframe.

Young Chinese are increasingly hesitant to start families, citing economic concerns exacerbated by rigid social norms around child-rearing, even as their government grows desperate to boost the birth rate and stave off a demographic crisis.

Have we already reached the peak global population? Birth rates have been declining in wealthy countries for years, and now they are way below replacement level all over the industrialized world. Birth rates are still above replacement level in some poor countries, but they are steadily trending down as young people in those nations embrace cultural values from wealthy countries. Meanwhile, average life expectancy is falling in the United States and elsewhere, and the number of excess deaths has spiked dramatically all over the planet during the past couple of years. If we cannot find a way to reverse these trends, we will witness a catastrophic population collapse. It is just a matter of time.

Is human population growth to blame for poverty and climate change? Plenty of pundits and politicians on the right and left alike seem to think so. Knowingly or not, they repeat the reactionary ideas of the Reverend Thomas Malthus, whose economic and social theories Marx and Engels demolished nearly 200 years ago.
