The Rise of Great Powers: Starting From Military Industry

Chapter 1362 Are Chinese People Human?

Beijing.

As the National Day military parade draws near, the parade troops begin rehearsals.

If you ask which country in the world has the most stringent requirements for military parade preparation, it must be China!

This is because the requirements are the most stringent, so the effect of the military parade is always shocking, and it is known as the most spectacular and shocking military parade in the world.

This year's military parade troops also exceed tens of thousands of people, divided into different teams.

Moreover, this time, the three services of the navy, army and air force all participated in the parade, and all were domestically made weapons and equipment.

When Liu Tao returned to Beijing, it was red everywhere, full of festivities.

The street lamps in the streets and alleys were hung with five-star red flags and Chinese knots.

Many residential areas have hung five-star red flags, which is the way ordinary people express their patriotic feelings in their own way.

When Liu Tao and his family arrived at home, the family was busy preparing dinner.

The children in the yard made the whole courtyard full of vitality.

Liu Jingming and Feng Nan's family also returned to China a few days ago.

As an NBA superstar and China's top sports star, Liu Jingming has a lot of things to do during the off-season, including advertising endorsements, and Liu Jingming and Feng Nan also do some public welfare work.

After graduation, Feng Nan did not work in a company, but worked for a foundation established by Liu Jingming and others.

This foundation mainly cares for Vietnam War veterans.

There are also some foundations of this kind in the country, some of which care for veterans of World War II, some care for veterans of the Korean War, and some care for veterans of the Indian War. There are all kinds of foundations that care for veterans, each with different focuses.

Influenced by growing up in Panshan Group, the charity foundation established by Liu Jingming and others is to care for Vietnam War veterans.

Every year during the off-season, they will personally visit some Vietnam War veterans, and every year they will organize willing Vietnam War veterans to walk on the battlefield of that year and pay tribute to their fallen comrades.

This is called the "Veterans Charity Foundation", which is also a well-known charity foundation in China, and it spends more than 100 million yuan on charity every year.

Feng Nan is the head of the ‘Veteran Charity Foundation’.

Liu Jingming has created two charity foundations, one is the ‘Veteran Charity Foundation’ and the other is the ‘Basketball Charity Foundation’. The scope of the ‘Basketball Charity Foundation’ includes building basketball courts in various schools, cultivating students’ interest in playing basketball, and organizing basketball summer camps every year to select talented students.

Basketball is now undoubtedly the largest sport in China and the most popular among young people.

In China, CBA tickets are not worried about selling.

From the time when everyone was rushing to the NBA, now there are also some NBA players, European basketball players, and South American basketball players who have developed in the CBA.

In recent years, football has also developed rapidly, and the development speed of the Chinese Super League is quite fast. Argentine football players in the UK were excluded, and basically ran to the Chinese Super League for development. Even some football players from South American countries such as Brazil chose to join the Chinese Super League after being excluded in the UK.

These football stars joined the Chinese Super League, which strengthened the competitiveness of the Chinese Super League, promoted the competitive level of the Chinese Super League, and also attracted football fans to flock to the Chinese Super League.

The next day.

It was September 30, the day before the 60th anniversary of the National Day.

In the morning, the sky was clear and the autumn wind was cool.

This day is the Martyrs' Day established by the country.

Liu Tao and others, together with representatives from all walks of life, presented flower baskets to the people's heroes in the square.

Before the ceremony, they came to the Great Man Memorial Hall to pay tribute to the remains of the great man.

The more time passes, the more fair the evaluation of him will be, and the more people will miss him.

His spirit, even now, is still not outdated, and still calls on groups of people to truly practice the great concept of serving the people.

Later, the Fifth National Unity and Progress Commendation Conference was held by the State Council.

The conference commended 1,488 model collectives and model individuals.

Liu Jingming, Liu Yingqing, Liu Qing'an, and Liu Manhua were all commended for their outstanding contributions in the field of sports and their outstanding contributions to the national unity.

In the evening, while resting, Liu Tao heard his secretary talk about something that made Liu Tao shake his head.

It is because the United Nations Climate Change Summit was successfully held not long ago. The summit aims to pave the way for the Climate Change Conference to be held in Copenhagen in December.

China made its position clear in its opening speech, comprehensively expounding China's views and propositions on climate change, calling on the international community to strengthen cooperation to meet the challenges brought by climate change, while introducing China's efforts and announcing further measures to be taken by China.

China advocates that the following principles should be adhered to in international cooperation to address climate change: first, adhere to the basic framework of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol, and strictly follow the Bali Roadmap authorization; second, adhere to the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities; third, adhere to the principle of sustainable development; fourth, adhere to mitigation, adaptation, technology transfer and financial support.

At this summit, China made clear its own proposition, that is, carbon neutrality, which is very different from Europe.

This time, it was Academician Ding Zhongli, who became an expert, who was interviewed by CCTV's "Face to Face" program, and the host this time was Chai Jing.

Academician Ding Zhongli and host Chai Jing debated on the program about "what is a fair emission reduction plan".

Academician Ding Zhongli believes that the "emission reduction plan" proposed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is actually a "trap under the discourse of emission reduction", which has designed future per capita emission rights for developed countries that are many times higher than those of developing countries. The result is to restrict the economic growth of developing countries and increase the gap between rich and poor countries.

Academician Ding Zhongli said in the program that from 1900 to 2005, the per capita emissions of developed countries were 7.54 times that of developing countries. Due to the huge base, the emission reduction targets promised by developed countries on this basis actually clarified a considerable future emission space for themselves. If the IPCC sets the plan, the emission rights of carbon dioxide will become a very scarce commodity, "if there is not enough emission, you have to buy it".

According to the calculation of Academician Ding Zhongli, China's emission space can only support about 10 years, which means that China will need to buy emission space from 2020. Academician Ding Zhongli asked, "From 2020 onwards, China will spend 1 trillion yuan every year to buy carbon dioxide emission rights. What do you think? Do you think it is fair?"

When asked by Chai Jing, "What do you understand as fairness?" Academician Ding Zhongli said that he regards emission rights as development rights and basic human rights, so people should have roughly equal emission space.

In order to strive for emission rights, Academician Ding also proposed a plan that from 1990 to 2050, China's per capita emissions will not exceed 80% of the level of developed countries during the same period. "No matter how you reduce emissions, I will reduce them less than you, and I must do it. And you developed countries have already built all the infrastructure, but China has not built a lot yet. In this stage of development, China should propose such a plan to let the world see that China is more ambitious than you in dealing with climate change."

Chai Jing asked, "China is a country with a large population, and the base number is too large." Academician Ding asked, "Then I have to ask you, are Chinese people human? This is a fundamental question. Why should the same Chinese people emit less? Are you calculating it based on the country or the person?"

Liu Tao was speechless. China has developed to the current level, but some people still can't stand up after kneeling for a long time. They are still spiritually colonized, and this happens to those who claim to be elites.

This is not a complicated issue. It's nothing more than Europe and the United States wanting to restrict the development of developing countries.

To put it nicely, it is to deal with global climate change. To put it bluntly, European and American countries are calculating and want to exploit developing countries.

Just as Academician Ding said, are Chinese people human?

Why should the same Chinese people emit less?

It is precisely because of this fundamental difference that China has made its position clear this time, that is, carbon neutrality.

In this regard, for China, challenges and opportunities coexist.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

As China develops to the present, the economic structure is undergoing obvious changes.

In the developed areas, low-end manufacturing industries with pollution are migrating to Southeast Asia, and some intensive low-end manufacturing industries without pollution are migrating to the central, western and northeastern regions.

There is a clear industrial transfer throughout China.

From high-cost areas to low-cost areas.

Most of the industry remains in China, but a small part of the industry is transferred to North Korea and Southeast Asia.

And this is also a major achievement of the Northeast Asia Summit, that is, industrial cooperation.

China has invested huge human, material and financial resources to control the pollution formed in the previous development process and is making its own contribution to global climate change response.

This process is both a challenge and an opportunity.

Challenges mean that many original production methods are no longer suitable and need to be eliminated or upgraded!

For example, sewage treatment is not only about treating the polluted water bodies now, but also about preventing it from the source. This means that the original enterprises need to invest more costs to treat sewage, or pay sewage treatment fees, which means rising costs, which is a challenge for enterprises.

As for opportunities, enterprises will improve production processes, reduce costs, and produce more environmentally friendly products. And in this process, enterprises specializing in sewage treatment will usher in great development.

The same reason also appears in construction projects, which will inevitably eliminate some old production machines and adopt more advanced and more environmentally friendly production machines.

For example, for the automobile industry, it will be a huge challenge and opportunity. Traditional fuel car companies will face huge challenges and will inevitably develop towards more fuel-efficient and less exhaust emissions, while new energy vehicles will usher in huge development opportunities.

For China's decision-makers, putting forward a clear proposition of "carbon neutrality" is not only politically correct in responding to global climate change, but also a historical trend. The impact of global climate change has become increasingly obvious. For the future of mankind, everyone has to work hard. As a responsible major country, China naturally has to take the lead and also make its own contributions.

Secondly, this is not only a huge challenge, but also a huge historical opportunity. Eliminating those with great environmental pollution and unclear economic benefits, improving production processes, and making further industrial adjustments is a huge adjustment of the industrial structure. In this process, China's industry will also become stronger.

'Carbon neutrality' is a challenge for China and also for Europe and the United States.

Everyone is at the same starting line, and people all over the world can see at a glance who is doing well and who is not. If some European and American countries do not do it, they will inevitably suffer huge international pressure and will be spurned, even the United States is no exception.

And for China, this is also within China's plan. In recent years, China has vigorously developed new energy such as hydropower, wind power, solar energy, nuclear power, and tidal power generation, and the proportion of thermal power is not too large.

As for new energy vehicles, China is currently far ahead in the world. China's new energy vehicles, whether in terms of production or sales, dominate the world.

China is not at a disadvantage on the issue of global climate change, and China has sufficient confidence in this track.

Now, China is no weaker than anyone!

As for Chai Jing, the interview with Academician Ding Zhongli on Face to Face was doomed to fail.

Liu Tao did not pay much attention to Chai Jing. After all, for him now, Chai Jing was just a little-known reporter and host. There were many reporters and hosts like her in China. He could not count the number of reporters and hosts who were more famous and accomplished than her.

Liu Tao's attention was now on matters related to the National Day.

The National Day of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China was a big celebration in the principle of a small celebration every five years and a big celebration every ten years. The whole country attached great importance to this National Day celebration and made it very grand.

For example, the notice of the National Day military parade was issued very early. The relevant units had already started the work and were now fully prepared, vowing to create a "Century Military Parade" that surpassed the 1999 one.

This is China, always unwilling to settle for the past, but always wanting to do better and go to a higher level.

Of course, the National Day military parade is only one aspect of this National Day. There is a lot of related work.

All walks of life are celebrating the National Day.

Even the three astronauts who are performing missions in space are celebrating the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in their own way.

He knew about the relevant work arrangements very early, and his work was adjusted accordingly. (End of this chapter)
