I hope so, but it doesn't seem possible for me. With the rise of China, it is bound to carve up the larger piece of cake that the United States wants, so a certain degree of conflicts are inevitable, but historically, no national/alliance will always be at the top. Thus I just hope there will be no world war like before in the future at least, and every parties involved will communicate to solve potential dangers from the all perspective of technology, strategy or thought, , rather than through weapons and violence.

I'm still naive enough to believe that the average person is peaceful and only wants happiness and a good life for family, friends, and the constant fear of war is largely a product of our governments and the media. I also wonder if all your hard work in protecting the environment will survive the obvious impending climate disasters. Sorry for the negative thoughts... Thanks for providing some optimism that there's hope to overcome the numerous difficulties the planet faces in the future.

It seems like China has a very comprehensive environmental clean up program that has been in placed for awhile. Just that people like you and me don't know because it is not covered in the western media. Only recently I found out all the stuffs China has done such as China is the number producer of every imaginable renewable energy technology, wet park creation and sponge city , reintroducing endanger species all over China, develop aquafarm to produce seafood instead of relying on fishing, greening the desert. The list is so long I found out something new everyday. Xie Zhenhua even received an award from the Nobel Sustainability Trust Foundation for his contribution to tackling the global problem and promoting sustainable development. You know how hard it is for a Chinese to win anything from Nobel prize related award especially in one area that need a lot of western media hype and politics. And China has kept doing this work on its own without the west. And the only people know are Chinese citizens since they directly benefited from these. In the US, this would never happen. The politicians would be talking up a storm if he accomplish anything.

I worked in a small electric power plant for a month with a colleague installing an equipment we manufactured. It’s somewhere outside of the city. To this day I don’t know where it was😅just remembered the 10 plus hours riding in the power plant’s truck from Hangzhou. There were numerous turns in the mountains and I was born with motion sickness. fun times! Haven’t had a waxberry in 20 years now😢.

北极鲶鱼让我给你带句话"感觉贪了" 2023年3月22日，账号昵称为“北极鲶鱼”的网友在微博平台发文称“怎么办，我润了”[a]，IP地址显示为澳大利亚。随后，有网友跟评讽刺她出国后仍使用中国的APP是“太爱”中国了，她回复称家里的钱都是“韭菜供的”[b]所以喜欢中国，并称家中存款有9位数，称质疑的网友为“小蜘蛛”、“支性难改”“支言支语”[c]。随后，在中国大陆社交媒体上引发热议。在“北极鲶鱼”的账号下，因其炫富因产生的争议已存在多时。根据她分享的内容，其祖父曾是深圳官员，已退休十几年，曾公派三十多个国家，有正师级好友，在2月6日贴文中称祖父先去桂林市扮渔夫卖鱼，之后便身穿西装公派美国纽约，好像脸上写上“感觉贪了”四个字。随后，有媒体报道称他祖父是深圳市交通局货运管理分局前局长钟庚赐[1]。新浪微博在事件发酵后，迅速清空其贴文并封号[2]。 2023年3月24日，钟庚赐回应中国新闻周刊，称家中有9位数的说法不实，表示自己2007年退休，曾任深圳区级交通局局长，“老老实实就这样干到退休”，目前相关单位正介入调查[3]。2023年3月24日，深圳市交通运输局发布情况通报，证实“北极鲶鱼”的祖父为该局原货运分局干部钟某某，且钟某某已于2007年11月30日退休，该局将就相关信息开展核查，将及时通报有关情况[4]。有媒体通过天眼查发现，金域远东（阳山）有限公司法定代表人、董事长钟某赐与网友“北极鲶鱼”的爷爷同名，疑似上述事件当事人。该公司成立于2003年9月，注册资本1200万美元，由2001年3月成立的中国香港企业金域（远东）集团有限公司全资持股，后于钟某赐退休的2007年11月解散[5]。 2023年4月25日，深圳市交通运输局向记者回应称，正在关注该事件，但调查仍没有结果[5][6]。2023年6月29日，深圳市交通运输局向记者回应称，深圳市纪委在对此事进行调查，暂无时间表，请耐心等待通告[7]，而该局则已无调查权限[5]。
