How did the Chinese Government get rid of the opium dependence of its people is something that the West should strive to learn. The USA Government had been fighting drug abuse for decades without success. And it had to resort to targeting other countries and sinking their innocent boats and pushing the blame to others. China fought the drug addiction by itself, without the need to use force upon others to stop the opium trade. It is a lesson worth learning and appreciating.
China has also shown the world how it fought the pollution problem, clearing its highly polluted air above China, that was to invite mass demonization, in just less than a decade through diversification into adoption of clean energy like nuclear, hydropower, wind and solar. China is moving to lessen its dependence on fossil fuel, though it still has some distance to go. But the Chinese will surely overcome that with its massive investments into the energy sector. India meanwhile is fighting a losing battle against pollution in the air and on the ground. India ought to learn some things from China but is too dumb to know who its friends are and who are just taking advantage of its precarious position.
China has shown the world how it was able to reclaim useful land from deserts and convert those desert areas into agricultural land, helping to alleviate its myriad dependence on imported food. Many are not aware that China is now also the world's largest exporter of farmed seafood, with its aquaculture sector situated in areas that were previously unusable deserts.
So, what can be learnt from China is up to those who thinks China can impart what it has learnt over the few decades it was reinventing itself, quietly and diligently. Hats off to the Chinese people working together with the Government to make the impossible possible.

Today, China produces 18% of the world's cereal grains, 29% of the world's meat, 36% of the world's seafood and 50% of the world's vegetables. These are not recent statistics, probably a year or two behind. This makes China the world's biggest agricultural economy, which is definitely creating unease and paranoia among other agricultural economies.
Sure, food imports are still necessary today for China, but having food availability at all times is a National Security issue and China is making sure it will not be exposed to new alliances that will be created to cripple China. With that in mind, China now has the luxury of choice as to who it wants to import food from countries to supplement domestic production without jeopardizing its National Security issue.
For a country that had seen hunger and starvation in the past to what it is today is good planning. 1.4 billion population have massive need for food and China is delivering it in confidence. With aquaculture, land reclamation from deserts, cattle rearing under solar power fields, China has pulled off another miracle quietly under the nose of the world. No loud noise, no gloating and no chest beating.
While the USA and the West keep demonizing about China's overcapacity in manufacturing, there is another sector overlooked by the West and that is agriculture and food security that China is going to dominate moving forward. And the success of China's agriculture and eventual exporting is going to pose huge problems for those countries leveraging on agriculture and exporting food to China and the rest of the world.
Perhaps there will come a day when the USA and the West, through the WTO will demand that China should grow less and export less to be sustainable, just like telling China to export less manufactured goods to the rest of the world. That, by the way is just the stand of the USA and the West, but what about the view of the Global South countries depending on cheap Chinese exports to them? Do they have a voice? I am sure they want China to export more, not less.
India will not learn. It just wants to steal. And if it cannot, will copy and claim it's theirs. Read this article:

India is all talk and no walk. India wants the cake and eat it. It has feet straddling two boats, trying to extract all the given advantage without contributing anything in return.
This is also the same as having one feet in BRICS and the other feet in the QUAD and playing the clown at the G7. It is being used by the USA and the West as a proxy or Trojan horse, without realizing it.
And India wants to be the AI center of the world. How atrocious and having wishful thoughts.
We can all talk about the negative things about India, but if the 60% sillyporean do not wake up. In no time all our asset/investment there will no longer belong to us. Worst still, we might be ruled by them if papies still freely importing them to replace themselves.
A year ago, China's humanoid robots walked unsteadily like 'Liang Po Po'. A year later, Chinese humanoid robots were walking like Robocop with a human inside, performs kung-fu stunts better than Kung-fu panda, somersaults as well as human performers, and leaps as high and as fast as Jet Li, lol.
The anti-China bots can just keep demonizing that those are just AI generated displays and nothing to worry about. When those robots are on sale soon, some people will be buying them to show off and claim they made them themselves, lol again. Never mind the demonization right now, as who laughs last laughs best.
What China showed was just a Chinese New Year robot performance together with real humans, nothing about using them to counter robots made by the West and whether their robots can do the same stuff. Surely, they can, I am sure. That will be childish mentality and an unproductive waste of technological prowess.
Whether China is ahead in robotics or not is left for the world to judge, the same with AI, EVs, battery technology, shipbuilding, drones, high-speed railways, infrastructures and yet its untested military equipment. Time will tell and conviction comes by coming up against them.
