The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

The groundbreaking ceremony for the Pan-Asia Railway East Line was held in Ho Chi Minh City.

The groundbreaking ceremony was very grand. After all, this railway connects several countries in the region and is a true win-win cooperation.

It can not only promote local economic development, but also drive the economic development of the entire region.

This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for society in the face of the current economic crisis.

In this way, China also conveyed a message to the outside world, that is, China is the most peace-loving nation in the world, and the way for China to revive is a peaceful way, rather than the Western way of development that relies on slave trade and colonial plunder.

China has been doing this for the past thirty years, or even since the founding of the Republic in 1949.

China has never initiated a foreign war. China's development has been accumulated bit by bit through the hard work of the Chinese people, rather than through foreign plunder.

China's policies are consistent and continuous, and have never changed overnight.

The country in the world that most abides by international norms is China.

no sooner said than done!

When it comes to upholding international justice, China has always stood on the side of justice and the side of the people of the world, and has never stood on the opposite side of justice.

Even in the current situation in the Falklands, China is still advocating peace and promoting talks, suggesting that both sides resolve their differences through political consultations and peaceful negotiations rather than conflicts.

The commencement of construction of the Pan-Asia Railway East Line is also China's implementation of its own philosophy.

What China brings to the local people of other countries is development, not chaos or war!

Peace and development, this is the theme of the times!
As Liu Tao and others took scissors and cut the ribbon, warm applause broke out at the scene.

The flashes kept going off, capturing the moment.

This is a milestone moment, representing that from this moment on, regional economic integration has officially entered the fast lane and the sprint stage.

Nowadays, there are more and more regional economic integration organizations. Europe has the European Union, the Arab world has the Arab League, Africa has the African Union, North America has the North American Free Trade Area, and South America has the Union of South America.

Everyone is exploring the path of integration, striving to achieve greater development and a larger market through regional integration.

Once the integration of various regions is truly completed, the next step for the human beings on Earth will inevitably be global integration, truly realizing the Earth Alliance, or truly realizing the global village.

The groundbreaking ceremony for the eastern section of the Pan-Asia Railway marks an important step forward in regional integration. It also means that after years of hard work, Annan has finally passed the assessment and will be fully integrated into the regional development.

It also means that Bangkok will be built into a regional sub-center with huge development prospects in the future.

After attending the groundbreaking ceremony for the Pan-Asia Railway East Line, Liu Tao personally organized a cocktail party. Those who attended the cocktail party were all influential figures in ASEAN and the leaders of certain forces.

Among them are the patriarchs of various major families.

These forces have been in a stage of rapid development in the past thirty years, and now play a vital role in the country.

Of course, the development process of these big families was not peaceful, but rather full of blood and gore.

One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers. It has been like this since ancient times!
The purpose of Liu Tao's coming to the meeting this time was to spread some information so that the leaders of these powerful forces would be mentally prepared.

Economic integration, followed by political integration, military integration, and finally complete regional integration! The "Please Speak Mandarin" signs have long been spread across ASEAN countries. More and more people are speaking Mandarin, even though many people do not speak standard Mandarin with a strong accent. But it doesn't matter, this is a good phenomenon, and they will naturally become standard later.

There can be local dialects, but there must be a language that everyone knows, which is conducive to communication.

Among those who attended the cocktail party, some were happy and some were sad.

More people are happy, while a few are sad.

After all, in the next few years, China's investment in the entire ASEAN will be trillions of RMB. Adding the private investment it will stimulate, the total investment will exceed 10 trillion RMB!
This is undoubtedly a timely relief for ASEAN, which is in crisis and lacks funds, and is enough to pull ASEAN out of the crisis.

Moreover, this market will be completely opened up. People used to eat from bowls, but now they eat from a huge basin.

Although competition will become fierce, it will also promote progress.

We have come this far, and it’s not that there has been a lack of competition, we have all come through competition.

No one is afraid of competition!
What everyone cares more about is the market, because a bigger market means everyone can earn more!

Of course, those who are worried are naturally concerned about their economic lifeline. This part naturally has to be handed over. This is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed.

Of course, not everything is handed over 100%.

For example, cigarettes are only required to obey management and not be lower than national standards. As for paying taxes, they do not need to be incorporated into the tobacco company.

For example, in port terminals, the state-owned enterprise is not only required to hold a controlling stake, but can also hold a considerable stake.

However, banks must undergo rectification and must comply with relevant regulations, which is very difficult for many people as it means increased costs.

Even small banks may go bankrupt as a result.

Regarding some people who are worried about the possibility of war, Liu Tao made it very clear that there will definitely be no war in this region in the next three to four years. Peace and development are the themes of the region, which reassures those who are worried about war.

Concerns about war are definitely increasing rapidly among people all over the world this year.

The current global economic crisis has reminded people all over the world of the Great Depression of 1929. The two have so many similarities!

It also broke out in the United States and then spread to the whole world. It also caused global unrest, and now even Britain and Argentina are going to fight over the Falkland Islands issue.

As for Africa, with the reduction of US funding, some countries went bankrupt in the face of the huge economic crisis, their mountains and rivers were in ruins, wars broke out, and warlords fought each other.

Even in Mexico, a country close to the United States, warlords have engaged in fighting.

Everyone is worried whether this will be the fuse of World War III, just like the Great Depression in 1929 was the fuse of World War II.

Moreover, in European and American countries, the number of unemployed people remains high so far.

The unemployment rate in the United States is as high as 10.2%, while the number of unemployed people in European countries exceeds 2300 million. Even Germany, a world industrial powerhouse, has more than 400 million unemployed people.

As the economic crisis spreads, nationalism is on the rise in various countries and the risk of war is increasing rapidly.

When domestic conflicts become intense and irreconcilable, politicians often choose to transfer the conflicts abroad, and launching wars abroad often becomes a popular option. (End of this chapter)
