The growth model China has relied on for the last 30 years - one predicated on low-cost exports to the rest of the world and investment in resource intensive heavy manufacturing - is unlikely to serve it well in the next 30 years. ↗

I'm an old member of Greenpeace. I worried intensely, as I think most of my friends did, that the world was coming apart. ↗
