[@chinfoomaa]

Professor Sachs is the light and inspiration of the world

[@timchildress2048]

I pray that world political leaders will listen to the compassionate wisdom and intelligence of this exceptional man, and act accordingly.

Professor Jeffrey Sachs, what a legend!

[@johnli6782]

Thank you, Professor Sachs for speaking sincerely and factually about a serious subject. Such matters must never be hijacked by irresponsible politicians the world over, and by people who make light of the seriousness of the situation.

What a great speech, and thanks for telling the truth to the world.

It's always so refreshing to listen to Prof. Jeffrey's objective, intelligent & eye-opening remarks which are grossly lacking and rare in this hoaxes filled media world. Brilliant!!!

Very good talk Prof Sachs... I cannot agree with you more... especially your concluding remarks about how China should handle the provocation by the US and its allies...patiently, peacefully and focus on its goals and not be distracted by the "noises." My view is that as the "Shining Light on the Hill"(US is no longer the leader it used to be) is dimming, there is now a "candlelight in the darkness shinning brighter and brighter..."(China)

[@clocktower1164]

You said the following *_how China should handle the provocation by the US and its allies...patiently, peacefully and focus on its goals and not be distracted by the "noises."_* And I want to ask you this ---- What do you think China would do if US and its allies *START ATTACKING CHINA MILITARILY* ? Do you still want China to stay still, to be, as you stated, *_patiently, peacefully_* while US, Europe, India and Japan are dropping bombs and killing Chinese all over China ? You want China to die ?

@@eymeeraosaka2954 So China should do nothing while letting USA getting the first shot ? What if USA's first shot kills China ? Why should USA gets the first chance to shoot ? Is it because of the race factor, that the Chinese are of the _inferior_ stock than those from Europe and/or USA ?

Thank you Professor for presenting such complex issue in a logical and impartial manner - China just focus on what you are doing currently and ignore all those efforts by America and its stooges to demonise you on matters relating to Xinjiang. Three cheers to your long term success and Professor’ talk 👏👏👏👍👍👍

[@teresitaperez7749]

Prof. Sachs' talk is very detailed and wholistic. I like his concluding remarks about China.

[@lianfoo6599]

Thankyou Professor Sachs for your global view and your drive for sustainability. You renew my faith in what could be achieved with cooperation and some of the better aspects of human nature. The acrid onslaught mainly by the western media is nasty, petty and destructive and will intrude on sensible handling of global problems.

[@litesp]

India joins the West in attacks on China even against its own interests.

[@clocktower1164]

@@litesp This is a sad world we live in where the so-called 'democracy' that is supposed to be the best system turns out to produce all kinds of really rotten leaders who don't care about its own people.

[@ralfkluin6387]

Excellent Talk, most enlightening.

[@stevenlow6222]

Another enlightening presentation. Global sustainable economic social and environmental objectives can only be achieved by collaboration not confrontation.

[@maxsweetman6341]

Thankyou professor Sachs

In antiquity, if Chinese officials cannot deliver what their proclaimed, their heads will be delivered. Trust the Chinese.

My favourite professor

[@lowcc7602]

Professor Jeffrey. Never fail to lecture especially the US 300 millions

[@kwakkers68]

Essential context provided in Naomi Klein's 'Shock Doctrine', especially in regard to the worth of Sach's character.

[@PointduNord]

We must listen to Prof Sachs; otherwise, the world is doomed!

[@funfunhappyful]

Prof. Kishore Mahbubani from NUS said that there is no such benevolent superpower. China can be the first by showing good deeds in promoting sustainable developments for the world

[@JianYZhong]

I think in fairness, if China were to achieve net zero GHG emissions by 2050, the US, Canada, Australia, UK and EU should each commit to achieving net zero GHG emissions by 2040.
