go out!
There has never been such a strong desire as it is now, and never been such a strong call as it is now.

In the past, China had backward productivity and material scarcity. Urban residents could not even buy meat because they were only supplied with 3-5 taels of pork per person per month. The situation in the cities was so bad, and other places were even worse. There was not even this little bit of meat left.

And now, China accounts for half of the world’s pork consumption, which means 7 million pigs are eaten every year!
How could people at that time have imagined that China would one day have overcapacity?

Even houses are in surplus!

The average housing area per capita in cities used to be 3.6 square meters, but now, the average living area per capita of Chinese households has reached 41.76 square meters!
To the extent that, the entire real estate market has now begun to move from the blue ocean to the red ocean, and a fierce fight is needed.

The real estate industry has repeatedly called for massive money printing to allow funds to flow into real estate, but all have failed.

The national per capita housing price exceeded 5000 RMB/square meter for the first time!

Overcapacity is not only occurring in real estate, but also in many other industries.

In order to solve the problem of overcapacity, China is also constantly guiding its enterprises to go global, conduct international cooperation, explore international markets, and absorb overcapacity by investing abroad.

But even so, the outlook is still somewhat bleak.

Firstly, the world situation is turbulent. There has never been a moment of true peace in the world. The turbulent situation has added uncertainty to the international community. The risks of investment are constantly increasing. It is not the first time that overseas investments have gone down the drain. This is the same for investments in all countries.

Secondly, anti-globalization sentiment is on the rise. After all, in the era of economic globalization, not all countries are beneficiaries of economic globalization. There are also victims and some countries that feel they are not the biggest beneficiaries and feel resentful. This undoubtedly increases the risks of overseas investment.

After all, perhaps one day, the pace of economic globalization will come to an abrupt halt, and globalization will not only fail to advance but may even regress.

This possibility is not only not impossible, but the possibility of it happening is actually increasing.

Now the biggest defender of economic globalization is not any other country, but China.

Back then, when China joined the WTO, there was a widespread cry of “the wolf is coming”. Many economists and entrepreneurs were pessimistic, believing that Chinese companies could not compete with European and American companies and that China would become a dumping ground for foreign companies.

But who could have imagined that in just a few years, Chinese companies would be conquering the world, and Chinese people would appear all over the world, doing business in every corner of the globe.

Even in faraway South America and Africa, there are a large number of Chinese people doing business there and looking for business opportunities.

In the Middle East, there are millions of Chinese people living all over the Middle East.

Many of the roads, bridges, high-rise buildings and docks in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and other Middle Eastern countries were built by the hardworking and brave Chinese people.

The bilateral relationship between the Arab League and China is growing in importance.

Both sides have consciously strengthened exchanges in many fields such as politics, economy, military, and culture, so as to better understand each other, communicate more easily, and avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

The standards of the Chinese delegation this time are also very high and the scale is very large, including entrepreneurs, scholars, religious and so on.

Good news keeps coming out and cooperation intentions are signed one after another.

Although the intention to cooperate does not necessarily mean success, as long as there is an intention to cooperate, it means there is a possibility of cooperation. It is just a matter of whether the negotiations can be concluded.

China is quite good at this aspect.

Liu Tao was also following the ‘Arab League + 1’ meeting.

After all, important interests are at stake.

Today, the most important thing for China is of course regional economic integration, consolidating the success of Southeast Asia and continuously promoting ASEAN integration.

But it doesn’t mean that other things are not important and we shouldn’t do them.

On the contrary, China has always emphasized that we should do both things well and have them all, rather than making a choice.

Only primary school students would do multiple-choice questions; in the adult world, people always want everything.

The Middle East is undoubtedly extremely important.

China has extensive interests in the Middle East and imports large amounts of oil and natural gas from the Middle East every year.

Since gas has been connected to cities and counties, rural areas have also mainly used gas. The scale of China’s annual natural gas consumption is extremely frightening.

China consumes over one trillion cubic meters of natural gas each year, making it the world’s largest natural gas consumer.

In addition to China’s own annual production of 2000 billion cubic meters of natural gas, the other nearly 8000 billion cubic meters of natural gas is imported from abroad. Russia, the five Stan countries in Central Asia and the Middle East are the most important sources of imports.

Qatar’s economic take-off is due to the fact that Qatar exports a large amount of oil and natural gas to China every year, thereby earning a large amount of foreign exchange.

In just a few decades, Qatar has developed modern infrastructure including roads, railways, airports, ports and communications, and its public security is among the best in the entire Middle East.

The Middle East, as the world’s energy center, is of great importance to China and it cannot be overemphasized.

There were also troublemakers at this Arab League summit.

Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and Mauritania jumped out. These four countries experienced color revolutions during the “Arab Spring” and leaned towards the United States. The United States has a large number of troops stationed in these four countries.

Libya’s Gaddafi accused them of betraying their faith.

As for Egypt, it no longer has the might of the Arab world’s leader. During the ‘Arab Spring’, Egypt’s regime changed hands, and the country is still in chaos. It does not look like a great power at all.

Liu Tao is paying attention to Somalia, Djibouti and Sudan, with whom he has close friendships.

The mercenaries are based in Sudan and are engaging in gaming in Chad, Central Africa, Niger and Nigeria. This large area is where the three parties have the most mercenaries, fighting for interests.

Fortunately, Somalia, Djibouti and Sudan did not disappoint him and their stance remained firm.

As for Comoros, it is already a Chinese country with a total population of 250 million, of which 90% are Chinese.

“South Africa, South Africa!” Liu Tao felt a headache when he thought of South Africa.

Like many African countries, after Barack took office in the White House, they regarded Barack as a hero of black people and improved relations with the United States. South Africa made the same choice. The two sides signed a “Mutual Defense Treaty” and a military agreement.

Just because Barack is black, the United States has gained the friendship of at least 20 African countries, and most black people in African countries have a good impression of Barack and regard him as the pride of black people.

This is a headache.

You should know how important South Africa’s geographical location is. Located in the southern hemisphere, it is known as the “Rainbow Country”. It is located at the southernmost tip of the African continent, with a land area of ​​121.91 million square kilometers. It is surrounded by the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean on the east, south and west sides. Its strategic position is very important. Moreover, South Africa is the second largest economy in Africa. Its finance, law, communications, energy and transportation industries are relatively developed in Africa. It has complete hardware infrastructure and stock trading markets, and its gold and diamond production ranks first in the world.

Even though the United States continues to disarm and cut military spending, it still maintains a garrison of up to 20,000 troops in South Africa.

Sometimes the ideological field is so unreasonable. It is obvious that China is South Africa’s largest trading partner.

Since South Africa announced the destruction of its nuclear arsenal and joined the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the two sides have officially engaged in open trade. Since 1997, China has been South Africa’s largest trading partner, export market and import source. The cooperation between the two sides is truly a win-win cooperation.

But even in this situation, South Africa still made such a choice. To be honest, even if South Africa maintains a neutral attitude and does not favor anyone, it is better than now.

If it were not for the fact that this situation would only last eight years, South Africa would probably have already fallen into large-scale civil unrest again.

You should know that in 2008, the UNHCR work report pointed out that the number of refugees applying for asylum in South Africa has exceeded 20. In South Africa, there are more than tribes, and the chiefs of these tribes are more effective than local officials. The chiefs even have their own tribal armed forces. If the situation is slightly detonated, it will easily fall into civil strife.

One of the important reasons why Africa has been plagued by wars for many years is that it has more than 3,000 tribes, each with its own chieftain. Modern countries seem to be somewhat out of place in this land.

The most successful countries in this regard are Djibouti, Somalia, Tanzania, Libya and Egypt, which have truly broken up tribes and established true modern countries.

The others basically all have tribes.

There are numerous tribes, some of which even have hatred for each other, and there are numerous forces. As long as there is a big country instigating behind the scenes, war is inevitable.

Just like the dozen or so West African countries originally controlled by France, which they controlled for so many years, but when faced with provocation, war broke out.

Liu Tao sometimes couldn’t understand. You know, South Africa is the second most powerful country in Africa. It even has an aircraft carrier formation with the Type 001 light aircraft carrier as its core. It has a great influence in southern Africa. It would be fine if such a country did not pursue regional hegemony, but it actually disregarded its own interests to occupy the team.

This is comparable to surrendering to the Japanese devils in 1945 and joining the National Army in 1949.

“Leader, Comrade He Rong wants to report something to you?” The secretary came over and reported in a low voice.

Liu Tao nodded slightly, “Ask Comrade He Rong to come over.”

He Rong, currently serving as deputy general manager of Panshan Group, is also a member of the Party Leadership Group and is in charge of the public security, procuratorial and judicial systems of Panshan Group. Her abilities and character have won Liu Tao’s trust.

About fifteen minutes later, the secretary brought He Rong to the office. The secretary poured He Rong a glass of water and then left.

“Mr. Liu!” He Rong took a sip of water.

Liu Tao looked down at a document, signed it and put it aside, then looked up at He Rong and smiled, “Comrade He Rong, what’s the matter this time?”

As the deputy general manager of Panshan Group and a member of the party group, He Rong has great power.

Coming to see me is not a small matter.

“Mr. Liu, we received a real-name report about Comrade Zhao Zhiqiang,” He Rong reported.

Liu Tao tapped the table lightly with his hand, “Zhao Zhiqiang, this is the general manager of Mekong Shipping Group.”

“Can the whistleblower be provided with security protection?” Liu Tao asked.

He Rong nodded: “We will take her to a safe place as soon as possible and provide 24-hour protection.”

“How is your investigation going now? What are the chances?” Liu Tao asked. “Our principle has always been to not let any bad guy go, and not to wrongly accuse any good guy.”

“The report is very true. The information we have now is enough to remove him from office,” He Rong said. “More needs to be investigated further.”

“In that case, let’s control it first. Either don’t do it, or make sure it’s a solid case.” Liu Tao said.

Mekong Shipping Group is an important group that manages fixed assets of approximately 20 to 30 billion RMB.

The main assets are the ships of Panshan Group, to which Mekong belongs.

If this kind of thing is to be discussed at a meeting, it must be under control first and there must be sufficient evidence.

“I understand!” He Rong nodded.

This is not a trivial matter, and it is necessary to report to Liu Tao.

Liu Tao said: “The work of the public security, procuratorial and judicial departments must be strengthened. We must not let a bad apple spoil the whole barrel.”

Liu Tao sometimes feels helpless because this problem cannot be stopped and it happens every year.

In terms of strength, it can be said to be very strong.

He Rong nodded. This aspect of work is extremely important. Only by preventing problems from happening can the purity of the cadre team be maintained.

After He Rong left, Liu Tao continued to work.

If you say this is a big thing, it is a big thing. If you pull out the carrot, it will bring out the mud. It is impossible that it is just one person. But if you say this is a small thing, it is actually very small.

It can even be said to be insignificant.

Let’s not even talk about the whole country, let’s just talk about Panshan Group, there are even bigger ones.

Just at this moment, Liu Tao’s cell phone rang.

This is his private number, and very few people know it.

Liu Tao answered the phone and then his face changed!
The thing I least wanted to happen still happened.

“When did it happen?” Liu Tao asked in a deep voice.

“Comrade Liu Tao, this just happened. Please rest assured that we will do our best to rescue him!”

Liu Tao took a deep breath and calmed himself down: “Leave this to me. Please don’t tell her mother about this.”

“Comrade Liu Tao.”

“I know the situation well.” Liu Tao said firmly.

Carrying out this kind of mission is extremely dangerous, and one could die if one is not careful.

Spacewalk, just four short words, seems cool and simple, but in fact it is a key technology in manned space flight and an important means for manned space flight projects to install large equipment in orbit, conduct scientific experiments, launch satellites, and inspect and repair spacecraft.

To achieve the goal of space walking, many special technical guarantees are needed.

Liu Tao hung up the phone, then called the security department and asked them to clear the parking in fixed areas.

Afterwards, Liu Tao contacted the space command center to understand the real situation.

If you wear a traditional space suit, you can only survive in space for 6 to 8 hours.

And this is only in theory. If you encounter other meteorites or spacecraft and your space suit is cut, it will be even more dangerous.

If you wear the new space suit he specially made, your safety will be greatly guaranteed.

And he also has to mobilize the positioning system to locate people specifically. (End of this chapter)
