TRANSLATION:

- Since China has a much better and higher planning power of its State than the United States and Western Europe, what is being demanded the most from them is that they use it for what humanity needs.

- It is not actually military or commercial competition.

- And China has to show that the planning power of its state can overcome the climate crisis.

- Whoever loses can lead humanity to extinction. No more and no less.
