China is the 21st century’s greatest success story, rising from poverty to become a leading force for change in the world. In these essays, learn how China is transforming social and economic life.China’s Targeted Poverty Alleviation program has helped 800 million of its people out of extreme poverty.China is rapidly producing solar panels, wind turbines and hydro power, replacing fossil fuels and leading the world in efforts to save the planet from climate change disaster.Electric cars, high-speed rail, clean and quiet metro subways in all major Chinese cities are setting an example for the world.China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is extending its own infrastructure revolution to friends in the Global South: ports, highways, schools, hospitals, power grids, communication, and industrialization, instead of debt traps and neocolonial dependency.China is playing a role of mediator and peacemaker: it recently achieved rapprochement between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and helped mediate ceasefire between Pakistan and India.Contributors include Gerald Horne, Jacqueline Luqman, Margaret Kimberley, K.J. Noh, Paweł Wargan, Kenneth Hammond, Radhika Desai, Megan Russell, Danny Haiphong, and other Friends of Socialist China.
