Wang Wen: China in the fast lane to realize carbon neutrality
The goal of China's carbon neutrality means that China aims to take the shortest time span in history to achieve the world's fastest carbon emission reduction, despite being the world's largest developing country. Compared with other developed countries, such as the US, Europe, and Japan, China's per capita GDP and per capita emissions at peak carbon emissions would be at a level lower than those countries when they achieve peak carbon emissions. This will bring about broad and profound economic and social systemic transformations. These need our great endeavors.

Governments of countries where vaccines are being produced – the United States, European Union members, the United Kingdom, India, Russia, and China – need to cooperate under UN leadership to ensure that a sufficient supply of vaccine doses reaches the poorest countries.

Did anyone imagine that the British Empire was a thing of the past? The latest moves by the Biden administration clearly indicate that it has been reincarnated under U.S. leadership and that the old "gunboat diplomacy" which in the 19th century was led by Her Royal Majesty Victoria is now being led by an American President. President John Quincy Adams warned long ago that the United States should never become "a cockboat in the wake of a British man-of-war".
