China Changes Everything

China is the 21^st 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.
