A day after thousands of Communist Party delegates voted to have  President Xi Jinpingâs  thought included in the official party dogma  one of the countryâs elite universities immediately opened a research center dedicated to his ideology.
Within the next few days around 40 universities followed suit  scrambling to set up their own centers for âXi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in a New Era.â
Itâs the latest example of the narrowing space for independent thought in modern China  and the ever tighter ideological controls being imposed under  Xiâs  rule  foreign and domestic experts said. It is also at odds with Chinaâs ambitions to be a global power in academia as the space for constructive debate narrows.
The first to announce  a research center dedicated to Xi Jinping Thought  was Renmin University of China in Beijing  one of the nationâs most respected higher education institutions with links to more than 200 other universities around the globe.
It opened  the center  on Oct. 25  just one day after thousands of Communist Party delegates unanimously voted to absorb the cumbersome phrase into their constitution  alongside Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory.
âFrom the aspect of the development of our country  the establishment of  the research center  is of great historical significance â Liu Wei  president of the university and director of  the new center  told Chinese media. âIt is an important responsibility given to the school by our times â

question:
What now? Mrs Merkel will meet with Frank-Walter Steinmeier  Germanyâs federal president  this morning to discuss next steps. Four possible outcomes present themselves. The FDP might be coaxed back to the negotiating table by plausible concessions from the CDU  CSU and Greens. But do not count on it. Mr Lindnerâs language was ominously final. And the Greens (seemingly the main target of FDP recrimination) declared that they had reached their âpain thresholdâ and could not budge another centimetre.
The second possibility is a new âgrand coalitionâ marrying the CDU/CSU and the centre-left Social Democrats (SDP)  who together have a workable majority in the Bundestag. But the SPD has strenuously ruled out the option. Having lost distinctiveness and votes in partnership with  Mrs Merkel    its  leaders and activists fear another spin with the chancellor could do their party terminal damage. Perhaps  just perhaps   Mrs Merkel   the media and Germanyâs European partners can persuade them to take the risk. But months after its worst election result in post-war German history  the SPD will most probably reject the overtures.
In the absence of a viable majority government   Mrs Merkel  could form a minority one  concocting vote-by-vote majorities in the Bundestag. This might combine the CDU/CSU with the FDP  its traditional governing partner (together they would be 29 seats short of a majority). But a more natural fit would now be a black-green coalition with the Greens (42 seats short of a majority). Last night each side found generous words for the other  and they were as one in their contempt for the FDP. At federal level post-war Germany has witnessed no minority administrations  though one ran North-Rhine Westphalia  the countryâs largest state  from 2010 to 2012. Such governments are alien both to the stable  long-termist ways of the German state and to  Mrs Merkelâs  plodding leadership style. How long one would even last in the current circumstances is unclear.
That leaves the fourth  most drastic option: new elections. The route is not as simple as it sounds. Unlike some other European parliaments  the Bundestag cannot just dissolve itself (a legacy of Weimar-era instability) and as  Mrs Merkel  has not yet been reinstalled as chancellor  she  cannot call a straight confidence vote. Instead Mr Steinmeier must nominate a candidate for the job. If  Mrs Merkel  (for  it  would be  she ) failed to win an absolute majority in two successive Bundestag votes  which can be separated by two weeks   she  would go to a third vote at which a simple majority would suffice. Only then could Mr Steinmeier dissolve the Bundestag  triggering a new election within 60 days.
If possible  Germanyâs establishmentâincluding  Mrs Merkel  and Mr Steinmeierâwill seek to avoid new elections. These could most benefit the far-right Alternative for Germany and would not necessarily rupture the deadlock  current polls putting the main parties very close to the results they obtained at the September election. In  her  comments last night  Mrs Merkel  emphasised that  her  party would âtake responsibility for this country  even in difficult timesâ.  She  is determined  in other words  to make the best of the hand the German people dealt  her  in September. Precisely how  she  plans to proceed should become clearer today.
In recent years Germany has been a pillar of stable government in Europe and  Mrs Merkel  a seemingly permanent feature of the landscape (consider that  her  international counterparts when  she  first took office were Jacques Chirac  Tony Blair and George W. Bush). Both of those truths are now  if not dead  then slipping away. The next German government will take months more to emerge and will be distinctly fragile in comparison with its predecessors. The end of the Merkel era has surely begun  though whether it has weeks  months or a short number of years to run is anyoneâs guess. Last nightâs events confirmed Emmanuel Macron as Europeâs top leader while making the French presidentâs grand plans for euro-zone reformâfor which he needs a confident and outward-looking Germanyâyet harder to achieve. The ripples of Mr Lindnerâs doubtful decision will travel far beyond his countryâs borders.

Germanyâs preliminary coalition talks collapse


question:
CES is in full swing  and there is a particular buzz about the intersection of tech and healthcare through a very unexpected source in  best-selling author John Grisham (The Firm  The Client) .  Grisham  is applying  his  enviable skills to the powerful intersection of tech and healthcare and potentially about to turn it on its ear.
 Grisham  spoke from one of the CES stages about the growing public interest to  his  recent ebook  The Tumor which describes how a revolutionary  new medical technology called focused ultrasound could transform the treatment of serious medical disorders by curing with sound. The fictional story follows the plight of a young father who is diagnosed with a lethal brain tumor and begins a painful battle. Yet the treatment method and the tech behind it is not only very real but something which with  Grisham  is now deeply involved.  He  gave a candid interview about the scope of  his  work with this potentially game-changing move in healthcare  along with Dr. Neal Kassell  founder and chairman of the Focused Ultrasound Foundation (FUSF) and a former neurosurgeon who provided the medical and technical consulting for the book.
Prior to taking the stage at CES Grisham told me that Kassell approached  him  about being on the board of FUSF but that respectfully declined  several times. "Prior to my current involvement  I knew essentially nothing about the medical field. My usual focus is on legal matters and social injustice. So I was lukewarm  to say the least "  Grisham  said. However  as both  his  mother and  his  sister were diagnosed with cancerous tumors   he  began to see how the research that FUSF does could help millions of people facing the same diagnosis worldwide. FUSF's mission is to bring the technology that enables a lower cost method to destroy tumors with out-patient  ultrasound options and eradicate such terminal illness  where possible. Naturally  such continued research and development of this technology is expensive.
"So as I was on the board  I thought one of the best ways I could help would be to raise money "  Grisham  explained. FUSF has an annual operating budget of $10 million with 65% of that needed for research  itself. "We needed to raise awareness. Naturally  you do that through telling a story. I know how to do that." So  he  began to work with Kassell to write The Tumor with Kassell providing the deeply medical insights. After about a year  the book was ready and the Foundation it published. They decided to offer it for free and Jeff Bezos CEO of Amazon permitted them to distribute the book via the platform at this price point given its link to social good.
