China and its technology lead the world

The Chinese miracle has been to lift more than 800 million people out of poverty in just 40 years. The most populous country on the planet, with 1.4 billion people, has stopped growing in double digits to guarantee the distribution of wealth among the population.
Professor Xinye Zheng, head of the Renmin University economics department, believes that «we have to sacrifice growth levels to distribute benefits among the largest possible population», adding: «We need to maintain at least 5% per year of advances until 2035 to respond to the growing demand of society ”. For this, the country must «continue with its opening process to continue growing because the biggest flaw in the economy is that it still lacks a lot of competition,» he argued. At that seminar, organized by the Belt and Road News Network, Zheng noted that «the main lines for the future must be to maintain growth, reduce volatility, lower pollution and balance distribution.»
Indeed, China has gone from an uncompetitive economy, which produced millions of products considered to be of low quality, to leading the world market for new technologies. In fields such as robotics, infrastructure, facial recognition, sustainable agriculture, mobile payment or the media. In these fields it is not that the western powers have been left behind, it is that they are light years away.
At the same time, China promotes the strengthening of commercial and cultural ties with Spain, Latin America and Africa, thanks to the Belt and Road, an initiative of planetary dimensions that is changing the way in which different cultures and economic sectors relate to one another. world that has become multipolar.
These are some of the fields where China leads the new technologies:
Media: The Pueblo newspaper has ceased to be a print medium to become a digital newsgroup with newspapers, magazines, web pages, radio, TV, sms, Weibo or Wechat. Its app is owned by 250 million people and they have recently launched their Media Hub, a comprehensive platform to prioritize multimedia supports
Ecological Agriculture: In Yangling, in the province of Shanxi there is a center of high agricultural technology. More than 13,000 professional farmers produce a thousand varieties of products thanks to innovation, the application of technology, efficiency, energy, water saving and the use of drones.
Transport: China’s commitment to high-speed trains has its greatest exponent in the brand new Hangzhoudong station in Hangzhou, which connects the main cities of the country with trains that exceed 300 km / h. In Xian, a town from where the Silk Road departs, the largest river port in the country is located. The train that connects China with Europe through all of Eurasia also leaves Xian.
Mobile payment: The generalization of this payment technology through payment systems on smartphones generates ease and comfort for the user and the merchant. This method is not only used in the brand new shops and boutiques that dot the Chinese cities. In any market stalls you can pay by phone without the need to carry cash or credit cards.
Facial Recognition: The generalization of this technology has many applications, from paying for products, hiring services, security at home or the office, and even avoiding crime.
Robotics: It has two foundations, on the one hand the robotization of production systems in factories and companies, on the other, to make people’s lives easier, such as information robots or others that follow you in airports or train stations while carrying the suitcases.
Tourism: The Town of Xitang is an example of the new tourism that China is promoting. An immense area of streets and canals has been revitalized by the Poly group and has been transformed into a tourist oasis with shops, restaurants and nightclubs.
In sum, this initiative, promoted by Belt and Road News Network and the Pueblo newspaper, is a meeting point to bring cultures closer together and strengthen the commercial and economic ties of the nations of the planet and to show the world the tremendous progress that the Chinese people It has built in recent times.
