As I write this, one country is leading the world in application of robotics, not just on earth, but also on the moon. China’s robots are currently scrubbing the surface of the moon, harvesting and returning materials of scientific experiments.

China's Qinghai Province hosts the world's largest solar power plant, Gonghe Talatan Solar Park. Experts claim that at full capacity, it can power a country such as Norway. Sprawling across China’s deserts is not just sand but also vast solar and wind projects. Both the world’s largest solar plants and wind farms are all located in China. China invests an average of $940 billion in clean energy technology per year. In comparison, China invests almost as much in renewable energy……

From the start, Deng was clear and elaborate that this systematic policy would apply not only to Taiwan, […]
Mark Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada, is currently one of my favorite leaders in the West. His speech at the recently concluded World Economic Forum was a breath of fresh air, rarely breathed from a Western leader.
