My name is Aaron Schere, your guide through the jump point to financial solvency.\n\nToday\u2019s show is entirely dedicated to Imperator Costigan\u2019s recent announcement of the Human-Xi\u2019an Trade Initiative, or HuXa as it has come to be called. If ratified by the Senate, HuXa would usher in an unprecedented era of trade and engagement by heavily deregulating restrictions on inter-Empire commerce, incentivizing Xi\u2019an houses to do more businesses with Human companies, and much more. During his address to the Senate, Imperator Costigan called the deal \u201can important and necessary next step in the UEE\u2019s relationship with the Xi\u2019an.\u201d\n\nThe announcement has been met with mixed reactions from across the Empire. Business leaders and trade associations rushed to get their hands on the legislation to understand how it affects each of their industries, only to discover that the proposed legislation surpasses 10,000 pages. Many have since complained that the agreement is so complex that it\u2019s almost impossible to fully understand, let alone assess, how it will affect the UEE economy.\n\nEarly indications are that it will face a stiff battle in the Senate to garner the necessary votes to be ratified. If HuXa passes, it will be the most significant and expansive piece of legislation enacted by the Costigan administration. If it fails, it would be a considerable blow to his political capital.\n\nHere to help us unpack exactly what\u2019s in the deal and how it came together is Yanna Coso, the UEE\u2019s Ambassador to the Xi\u2019an Empire. She was part of the small UEE delegation that helped negotiate HuXa.\n\nWelcome to Kaizen.\n\nAMB Coso: Glad to be here.\n\nSo, we\u2019re going to start with the tough question first. How do you pronounce this? My producers and I have been arguing all day.\n\nAMB Coso: HuXa. First syllable\u2019s like hue. Second\u2019s like \u2018sha\u2019 in sharp.\n\nOkay. You were right, Freddie. Moving on. Given Imperator Costigan\u2019s history and his time as High Secretary, it was no secret that he was interested in pursuing a trade deal with the Xi\u2019an, but no one thought it was this close to getting done. Give us a little background on how the deal came together.\n\nAMB Coso: This deal was at the very top of Imperator Costigan\u2019s agenda when he named me the Ambassador to the Xi\u2019an Empire, and has been something I\u2019ve worked on since my first day in office. Putting HuXa together was a slow, meticulous and extremely thorough process, and you can see that attention to detail in the final trade initiative.\n\nHuXa is over 10,000 printed pages long. How do you expect the owner of, say, a small hauling concern in Horus to understand how such a deal will affect their economic future?\n\nAMB Coso: If anything, the trade deal\u2019s length only proves how dedicated Imperator Costigan is to ensuring this is the best arrangement possible for the UEE. The Empire has six systems, including Horus, with direct jumps into Xi\u2019an territory. We had to carefully considered the economic impact on each system and negotiate protections so these systems could retain their economic identity while still benefiting from the deal. All of that\u2019s reflected in the length of the legislation.\n\nSo this small business owner in Horus should just take the government\u2019s word that this deal is in their best interest?\n\nAMB Coso: This deal is about macroeconomic changes to our trading relationship with the Xi\u2019an. How those trickle down to each individual business in Horus is incalculable since there are so many variables to consider, but our hope is that as the economy strengthens overall, most individuals will benefit as well. As economist Jarl Strun always said, \u201cA strong Empire leads to a strong Citizen.\u201d\n\nGuess I\u2019m wondering how you expect Senators and members of the business community, who don\u2019t have a dual masters in economics and Xi\u2019an studies, to educate themselves on this piece of legislation. If people don\u2019t know exactly what\u2019s in this bill, isn\u2019t there a chance Senators will reject it simply because they don\u2019t know what they\u2019re voting for?\n\nAMB Coso: That\u2019s why Imperator Costigan called the Senate to a special assembly to unveil HuXa and highlight its defining features. It\u2019s also why I\u2019m here, and why you\u2019ll see other administration voices on the spectrum discussing the deal.\n\nBut you don\u2019t have to just take our word for it. Numerous universities, research institutions and think tanks are already hard at work analyzing the proposal. I\u2019m sure it won\u2019t be long before they start to share their opinions on the deal.\n\nWhy was there so much secrecy surrounding HuXa? Why weren\u2019t experts outside of this small circle of government officials consulted to draft such a major piece of legislation?\n\nAMB Coso: First, keeping leaks to a minimum was essential. We didn\u2019t want details to reach the private sector, which could then lead to rampant speculation among investors.\n\nThe second reason was cultural considerations. The Xi\u2019an diplomatic core adheres to a strict one-for-one negotiation policy, meaning that if they bring ten individuals to the bargaining table then that\u2019s our limit. As much as we wanted to fill the room with experts to help craft this policy, it just wasn\u2019t an option.\n\nFinally, the Xi\u2019an required that the negotiations only involve government officials. You\u2019ve got to remember that Emperor Kr.\u0113 and his house speak as one for all Xi\u2019an, and they expect the same from the UEE government. From the Xi\u2019an perspective, if a government can\u2019t be trusted to speak for its people, what good is it in diplomatic negotiations?\n\nOn that note, we need to take a quick commercial break. When Kaizen returns we\u2019ll roll up our sleeves with Ambassador Coso and get into some of the policy specifics about the new Human-Xi\u2019an Trade Initiative, as well as talk to Scott Tang from MISC about how they see the enactment of this agreement affecting their bottom line, so don\u2019t go anywhere","de_DE":"\u00dcBERTRAGUNG STARTEN:\nWillkommen zu einer ganz besonderen Episode von Kaizen. Mein Name ist Aaron Schere, Ihr Reiseleiter durch den Sprungpunkt zur finanziellen Solvenz.\n\nDie heutige Show ist ganz im Zeichen der j\u00fcngsten Ank\u00fcndigung der Human-Xi'an Trade Initiative, kurz HuXa genannt, durch Importeur Costigan. Wenn es vom Senat ratifiziert w\u00fcrde, w\u00fcrde HuXa eine beispiellose \u00c4ra des Handels und Engagements einl\u00e4uten, indem es die Beschr\u00e4nkungen f\u00fcr den Handel zwischen den Imperien stark deregulierte und Xi'an-H\u00e4user dazu anregte, mehr Gesch\u00e4fte mit menschlichen Unternehmen zu t\u00e4tigen, und vieles mehr. W\u00e4hrend seiner Ansprache vor dem Senat bezeichnete Imperator Costigan die Vereinbarung als \"einen wichtigen und notwendigen n\u00e4chsten Schritt in der Beziehung der UEE zum Xi'an\".\n\nDie Ank\u00fcndigung stie\u00df auf unterschiedliche Reaktionen aus dem gesamten Reich. Wirtschaftsf\u00fchrer und Wirtschaftsverb\u00e4nde eilten, um die Gesetzgebung in die H\u00e4nde zu bekommen, um zu verstehen, wie sie sich auf jede ihrer Branchen auswirkt, nur um dann festzustellen, dass die vorgeschlagene Gesetzgebung mehr als 10.000 Seiten umfasst. Viele haben sich inzwischen dar\u00fcber beschwert, dass das Abkommen so komplex ist, dass es fast unm\u00f6glich ist, vollst\u00e4ndig zu verstehen und zu beurteilen, wie es sich auf die UEE-Wirtschaft auswirken wird.\n\nErste Anzeichen daf\u00fcr sind, dass es im Senat zu einem harten Kampf kommen wird, um die notwendigen Stimmen f\u00fcr die Ratifizierung zu erhalten. Wenn HuXa verabschiedet wird, wird es das bedeutendste und umfangreichste Gesetz der Costigan-Regierung sein. Wenn es scheitert, w\u00e4re es ein schwerer Schlag f\u00fcr sein politisches Kapital.\n\nHier, um uns zu helfen, genau das auszupacken, was in dem Deal steht und wie er zustande kam, ist Yanna Coso, die Botschafterin der UEE im Xi'an Imperium. Sie war Teil der kleinen UEE-Delegation, die an den Verhandlungen \u00fcber HuXa beteiligt war.\n\nWillkommen in Kaizen.\n\nAMB Coso: Sch\u00f6n, hier zu sein.\n\nAlso werden wir zuerst mit der schwierigen Frage beginnen. Wie spricht man das aus? Meine Produzenten und ich haben uns den ganzen Tag gestritten.\n\nAMB Coso: HuXa. Die erste Silbe ist wie ein Farbton. Das Zweite ist wie \"sha\" in scharfkantig.\n\nOkay. Du hattest Recht, Freddie. Ich mache weiter. Angesichts der Geschichte von Imperator Costigan und seiner Zeit als Hoher Sekret\u00e4r war es kein Geheimnis, dass er daran interessiert war, ein Handelsabkommen mit dem Xi'an zu schlie\u00dfen, aber niemand dachte, dass es so kurz vor dem Abschluss stand. Gib uns einen kleinen Hintergrund, wie der Deal zustande kam.\n\nAMB Coso: Dieser Deal stand ganz oben auf der Agenda von Imperator Costigan, als er mich zum Botschafter des Xi'an-Reiches ernannte, und ist etwas, woran ich seit meinem ersten Tag im B\u00fcro gearbeitet habe. Die Zusammenstellung von HuXa war ein langsamer, sorgf\u00e4ltiger und \u00e4u\u00dferst gr\u00fcndlicher Prozess, und Sie k\u00f6nnen diese Detailgenauigkeit in der endg\u00fcltigen Handelsinitiative sehen.\n\nHuXa ist \u00fcber 10.000 Druckseiten lang. Wie erwarten Sie, dass der Eigent\u00fcmer beispielsweise eines kleinen Transportunternehmens in Horus versteht, wie sich ein solcher Deal auf seine wirtschaftliche Zukunft auswirkt?\n\nAMB Coso: Wenn \u00fcberhaupt, beweist die L\u00e4nge des Trade Deals nur, wie sehr sich Importeur Costigan daf\u00fcr einsetzt, dass dies die bestm\u00f6gliche Vereinbarung f\u00fcr die UEE ist. Das Imperium hat sechs Systeme, darunter Horus, mit direkten Spr\u00fcngen in das Gebiet von Xi'an. Wir mussten die wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen auf jedes System sorgf\u00e4ltig pr\u00fcfen und Schutzma\u00dfnahmen aushandeln, damit diese Systeme ihre wirtschaftliche Identit\u00e4t bewahren und gleichzeitig von der Vereinbarung profitieren konnten. All dies spiegelt sich in der L\u00e4nge der Gesetzgebung wider.\n\nSo sollte dieser kleine Gesch\u00e4ftsinhaber in Horus einfach das Wort der Regierung nehmen, dass dieses Gesch\u00e4ft in ihrem besten Interesse ist?\n\nAMB Coso: Bei diesem Deal geht es um makro\u00f6konomische Ver\u00e4nderungen in unserer Handelsbeziehung mit dem Xi'an. Wie diese auf jedes einzelne Unternehmen in Horus herunterrieseln, ist unberechenbar, da es so viele Variablen zu ber\u00fccksichtigen gibt, aber unsere Hoffnung ist, dass, wenn die Wirtschaft insgesamt st\u00e4rker wird, auch die meisten Einzelpersonen davon profitieren werden. Wie der \u00d6konom Jarl Strun immer sagte: \"Ein starkes Imperium f\u00fchrt zu einem starken B\u00fcrger.\"\n\nIch sch\u00e4tze, ich frage mich, wie Sie erwarten, dass Senatoren und Mitglieder der Gesch\u00e4ftswelt, die keinen Doppelmaster in Wirtschaft und Xi'an-Studien haben, sich \u00fcber dieses Gesetz informieren. Wenn Leute nicht genau wissen, was in dieser Rechnung ist, gibt es nicht eine Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass Senatoren sie ablehnen, einfach weil sie nicht wissen, was sie f\u00fcr w\u00e4hlen?\n\nAMB Coso: Deshalb hat Imperator Costigan den Senat zu einer Sonderversammlung aufgerufen, um HuXa zu enth\u00fcllen und seine herausragenden Eigenschaften hervorzuheben. Es ist auch, warum ich hier bin, und warum Sie andere Regierungsstimmen auf dem Spektrum sehen werden, die den Deal diskutieren.\n\nAber Sie m\u00fcssen sich nicht nur auf unser Wort verlassen. Zahlreiche Universit\u00e4ten, Forschungseinrichtungen und Think Tanks arbeiten bereits intensiv an der Analyse des Antrags. Ich bin sicher, dass es nicht mehr lange dauern wird, bis sie anfangen, ihre Meinung \u00fcber den Deal zu \u00e4u\u00dfern.\n\nWarum gab es so viel Geheimhaltung um HuXa herum? Warum wurden keine Experten au\u00dferhalb dieses kleinen Kreises von Regierungsbeamten konsultiert, um ein so wichtiges Gesetz zu erarbeiten?\n\nAMB Coso: Erstens war es wichtig, die Leckagen auf ein Minimum zu beschr\u00e4nken. Wir wollten nicht, dass Details in die Privatwirtschaft gelangen, was dann zu heftigen Spekulationen bei den Investoren f\u00fchren k\u00f6nnte.\n\nDer zweite Grund waren kulturelle \u00dcberlegungen. Der diplomatische Kern von Xi'an h\u00e4lt sich an eine strenge Verhandlungspolitik, was bedeutet, dass, wenn sie zehn Personen an den Verhandlungstisch bringen, das unsere Grenze ist. So sehr wir den Raum mit Experten f\u00fcllen wollten, um bei der Gestaltung dieser Richtlinie zu helfen, so sehr war es einfach keine Option.\n\nSchlie\u00dflich forderten die Xi'an, dass die Verhandlungen nur mit Regierungsbeamten gef\u00fchrt werden. Du musst dich daran erinnern, dass Kaiser Kr.\u0113 und sein Haus als eine f\u00fcr alle Xi'an sprechen, und sie erwarten dasselbe von der UEE-Regierung. Aus der Sicht von Xi'an, wenn man einer Regierung nicht trauen kann, f\u00fcr ihr Volk zu sprechen, was n\u00fctzt sie dann in diplomatischen Verhandlungen?\n\nIn diesem Zusammenhang m\u00fcssen wir eine kurze Werbepause einlegen. Wenn Kaizen zur\u00fcckkehrt, werden wir mit Botschafter Coso die \u00c4rmel hochkrempeln und uns mit einigen der politischen Details \u00fcber die neue Human-Xi'an Trade Initiative befassen, sowie mit Scott Tang von MISC dar\u00fcber sprechen, wie sie die Verabschiedung dieses Abkommens f\u00fcr ihr Endergebnis halten.","zh_CN":"START TRANSMISSION:\nWelcome to a very special episode of Kaizen.
