There are many reasons to congratulate China today. This video documents just some of those reasons – among them that China has invented a new type of dynamic society based on its traditional values, lifted 700 million people out of poverty in 30 years and created a modern welfare state serving its 1400 citizens well.
In addition, China’s unique, rapid socio-economic and cultural development has benefited the world like no other country’s. Its Belt and Road Initiative, BRI, counts over 140 member countries with a perspective of a common cooperative future – win-win – for humankind.
Today, China is a thoroughly pleasant and safe society to visit. It functions extremely well and effectively for its people in big and small daily ways. Go anywhere, shoot photos as you like, meet its hospitable and helpful people – it’s easy – and enjoy cultural diversity, exquisite food and marvellous landscapes. There is a totally different real China that contrasts the Western mainstream media’s constructed image of it.
TFF and I are excited to be working with and in China since 2018. We shall stay seized with the matter and with the related world order change in the perspective of the globally desired peace through respect, knowledge, law, vision and mutually beneficial cooperation – a global Unity in Diversity.
We provide the following spaces for research and public education about China:
“China And Silk” with about 200 articles, the new specialised “Xinjiang” space – much more to come – and lots of videos on TFF’s YouTube Channel. We are working on the anthology “If You Want To Understand China.” And there is more here on my personal blog and lots of art photographics works on Oberg PhotoGraphics.
