Conversation on a Green Conversion
If the key players fail to sit down together and talk things over for a peaceful world, it would be a ‘gross betrayal of the next generations to come and none of us would want that on our conscience.’

There are indeed serious deviations in the American policymakers’ understanding of the current international situation, the U.S. status in the world, China-U.S. relations and other major issues.
On the one hand, this is an existential defense mechanism, psychologically speaking. On the other hand, many Americans understand their interests align substantially with American hegemony, and therefore, there is an anti-China alignment.
Washington’s Cold War mentality and policy of confrontation, rejection of international law, and rejection of diplomacy wreaks global havoc economically, politically, and militarily.
Sci-tech progress, either on the part of the U.S. or China, will help drive society’s evolution.
Germany and China will both benefit from each other if the two sides continue to engage in open dialogue and pursue pragmatic cooperation.
China has become a truly geo-economic meridian of the globe, reverberating in practically all fields. And the 20th CPC National Congress showed an accordingly self-confident spirit ahead.
China’s successes since the founding of the PRC, and the successes it will surely achieve on the path to becoming a great modern socialist country in all respects, will undoubtedly inspire progressive people the world over.
The last 10 years prove that, despite the yearly predictions of imminent economic or political collapse and the best efforts of those who fear China’s rise, China has a resilient and focused system that won’t be easily derailed.
That China is becoming an innovator in areas that matter to everyone else is much more a good thing than it is a bad one. Everyone has their red lines on certain issues. But in plenty of other areas, there is space and opportunity to work together.
In the era of globalization, the international community should learn to coexist in harmony and cooperate in areas like security, development, climate and energy. After all, no person is an island entire of itself.
Perhaps now would be the right time for the U.S. to acknowledge that China-as-partner is much better than China-as-foe when it comes to advancing the world’s knowledge about space.
