Chapter 961 World Mystery: Shangri-La

On the eve of National Day, a piece of news attracted the attention of the world.

Chinese scholars solve the mystery of 'Shangri-La'!
The world mystery that has puzzled the world for more than half a century has finally been solved, 'Shangri-La' has been found!

'Shangri-La', known as the world's mystery, was recently discovered and authenticated in DQCZ Zhizhou, Yunnan Province.

In 1933, British writer James Hilton described in his documentary novel "Lost Horizon" that there was an "ice and snow world" at the "end of the horizon" that was almost "isolated from the world", where there were "pyramid-like snow peaks and blue plateau lakes", "deep and steep canyons", and "three great rivers rushing forward"; there were amazing "magnificent lama temples", "simple-minded Tibetan people and profound religious culture". This beautiful place is called "Shangri-La".

Hilton's novel was very successful and became a bestseller as soon as it was published. Hollywood bought the copyright and made a movie that shocked the world. Dozens of Shangri-La hotels founded by Hong Kong's famous entrepreneur Robert Kuok made the name of Shangri-La popular around the world. So searching for the mysterious and beautiful Shangri-La has become a hot spot for tourists, explorers and folklorists for half a century.

Since the 40s, people who knew about Shangri-La have been asking: "Where is the beautiful Shangri-La?"

Many explorers and tourists have been searching tirelessly for the "beautiful Shangri-La" in India, Nepal, and the Karakoram Mountains in China's Tibetan province, but more than half a century has passed without any results.

So some people say: "Shangri-La" is a mystery, a world mystery, a century mystery, a mystery that may not be solved until the 21st century.

After rigorous research by Chinese scholars, the mystery of this world was finally solved.

All of a sudden, "Shangri-La" spread all over the world. On TV, a magnificent picture of tens of thousands of square kilometers with an altitude of 1000 to 6740 meters, a three-dimensional cross-climate zone with a temperature ranging from over 30 degrees Celsius to several degrees below zero was presented to people: surrounded by snow-capped mountains, endless grasslands, three parallel rivers, a thousand lakes, rare low-latitude glaciers in the world, thousands of hectares of virgin forests, black-necked cranes, golden monkeys, and the coexistence of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism...

Tourists, explorers, folklorists and "Shangri-La" mysteries from all over the world have come to beautiful Shangri-La.

Shangri-La, which has not been developed or constructed in any way, has beautiful natural scenery that shocks everyone who comes here.

Many people from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong come to Shangri-La to appreciate its beauty.

Shangri-La became a hot topic in the news, with countless people talking about it, while Liu Tao was attending a meeting in Beijing.

However, on the morning of October 10, the foreign ministers of the 2 EU member states formally signed the Amsterdam Treaty at the Royal Palace in Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands.

The agreement reached between Ayo and EU shows that the EU has made progress in deepening its integration.

The A Treaty will establish a legal basis for building a 'social Europe'. In terms of common foreign and security policy, EU countries have also shown a certain political will.

The EU is already clearly audible in its steps to launch the European single currency, the Euro.

As an important export destination for China, China attaches great importance to Europe's every move.

Over the past decade, China and Europe have continued to deepen political, cultural, and economic exchanges, and even military exchanges are ongoing.

The Chinese Navy has visited friendly countries over the years. Now that Europe is further integrating, the impact is huge.

Once Europe truly unites as one and becomes a unified Europe, the EU will be on par with the United States, or even stronger than the United States.

The Americans have done a lot of damage to the process of European integration, making it very difficult for European integration to move forward.

But Europe still signed the APT.

Some think tanks have even suggested that perhaps within 10 years, Europe will truly achieve integration and become a pole in the world.

There are quite a few think tanks who hold this view.

After all, the Treaty of Amsterdam is the third EU treaty after the Treaty of Rome and the Treaty of Maastricht, and the process of European integration is clearly accelerating.

"I think the process of European integration is not that easy. There are huge differences in Europe's culture, politics, economy and military. Don't forget that Europe is no longer the Europe before World War II. The United States and the Soviet Union jointly dismembered the British and French colonies, and Europe lost most of its colonies. In fact, Europe is dependent on the United States." Liu Tao has a different view on this.

Liu Tao said: "The United States has penetrated Europe too deeply. Britain has completely given up its pride and is completely tied to the United States. Britain's entry into the European Union will inevitably become a troublemaker. European integration is not in the interests of Americans, let alone the interests of Britain."

"Europe is no longer the Europe before World War II. The European powers have become a thing of the past. Now we can only see Britain, France, and Germany. Germany has just been peacefully unified and is still digesting its internal affairs, while Britain is indecisive. France and Germany have different interests. France wants to be the leader of Europe, but are the Germans willing?" Liu Tao shook his head and said, "Everyone should have seen the performance of the French in Africa. The French are about to lose France. Without the blood sucked from Africa, can France be the leader of Europe?"

The current situation in Europe seems to be that the economy is developing well, but in fact it is not very good.

If you say that the British are actively integrating into Europe and want European integration, even those who drink two kilograms of wine probably won’t believe it. The British are troublemakers, and this is a centuries-old tradition.

When the European Union was preparing to launch the Euro, the United Kingdom immediately announced that it would not give up the British pound and would continue to retain the British pound.

As for the two most important countries in Europe, France and Germany, they are not united. In fact, both countries want to be the leader of Europe.

Not to mention the infiltration of Americans into Europe. It can be said that the whole of Europe has been infiltrated by the British and is riddled with holes, like a sieve.

Liu Tao looked through his notes two months ago and did not see any records of Europe truly achieving integration.

"Now Europe and the polar bears are getting closer. A large part of the polar bears' energy is exported to Europe, and the polar bears import what they need from Europe. Now Europe is getting rid of the control of the Americans, and the consensus of Europeans on integration is getting deeper and deeper. A unified Europe can be said to be the consensus of Europe. How can we not achieve European integration? Isn't the European integration process quite fast now? With the current integration process, in at most ten years, Europe will achieve economic integration on the basis of monetary integration, and thus achieve political integration and military integration!" A think tank did not agree with Liu Tao's argument.

Now the European integration process is accelerating, and the whole world is optimistic about the European integration model. Once Europe truly achieves integration, it will provide a template for the whole world.
