Chapter 3483 Resource Crisis

The world's most powerful country! This is the dream of all Chinese people. In the past, there were many times in China's 5,000-year history when China became a true dynasty. China was the most developed country in the world at that time.

In the Song Dynasty, China already had several prosperous cities with a population of one million, while in Europe, Rome at that time had a population of only 200,000. In the Song Dynasty in China, a gate soldier was much richer than the owner of a castle in Europe at that time. However, in modern times, China's national strength has declined sharply, from the world's number one country at that time to a developing country today. The gap during this period is too big.

Every Chinese person is eager for China to rise again, and everyone is eager for China to stand tall among the world's powers again and reproduce the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Then, China will completely surpass the United States in 2020, so when will it become the world's most powerful country?

Lin Feng pondered slightly.

"The United States is the world's most powerful country. It is now the undisputed world's most powerful country. This is reflected in the United States' economic strength, military strength, and people's happiness index. If you want to surpass the United States and become the world's most powerful country, you must not only surpass the economy and military, but also surpass the per capita happiness index. In terms of economy, it can be surpassed in 2020. With the hard work of the Chinese people, we can make China's total economic output surpass that of the United States. I have never doubted this and have always believed in it." Lin Feng said this and took a breath to let the audience understand what he meant.

"In terms of military, this is the business of the national government, not something I, a businessman, can participate in. I will not express any opinions on this issue to avoid being used by some neighboring countries to promote the China threat theory. Speaking of the China threat theory, I have to say some extra words here." Lin Feng coughed.

"Some neighboring countries are advocating the China threat theory all day long. In fact, looking back at China's 5,000-year history, well, speaking of this, let me say something off topic. China has a 5,000-year history, and its civilization has never been interrupted. From the traceable history to the present, there have always been historical books that can record and describe the famous development of China in these 5,000 years. And this is something that no country in the world has ever had. No ancient civilized country in the world has ever had a 5,000-year brilliant civilization like China. Therefore, every Chinese person is proud enough to feel proud." Lin Feng stood up and put his right hand on his chest.

"I am proud to be a Chinese! I am proud that China has a 5,000-year brilliant reputation! I am proud that China is a country of etiquette!" Lin Feng said in awe.

The audience was all moved. Although. Many businessmen often say that they are proud of being Chinese, in fact, many businessmen often say this and turn around to enter other nationalities, which is simply a great irony. And Lin Feng has not yet entered any nationality, and does not have any green card, but only relies on the identity of the Commander of the Order of the British Empire. As well as being the Dubai Tourism Ambassador, he is eligible for visa-free entry in many countries.

In this regard,

Lin Feng is better than all businessmen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's return to the previous topic. China is famous for its 5,000-year history, but throughout these 5,000 years, China has never actively invaded other countries, never. It has never happened once. In ancient times, China was strong in various periods. The Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were the two most prosperous dynasties. But even these two most prosperous dynasties never had the idea of ​​conquering the four directions. How powerful were these two dynasties? We can answer this question with a fact." Lin Feng talked freely.

"During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the Xiongnu repeatedly invaded the border. Eventually, Emperor Wu of Han worked hard to govern the country and finally defeated the Xiongnu completely in 119 BC and drove them to Europe. However, this remnant army went all the way west and eventually reached the capital of Rome, the most powerful country in Europe at that time. Under the city of Rome, Rome was even forced to make a humiliating move of surrendering and paying tribute. Was the Han Dynasty powerful? Of course it was powerful! But such a powerful Han Dynasty did not invade its neighbors, nor did it completely occupy the country like some countries, but only accepted the country's submission. The Tang Dynasty was an even more powerful country, a powerful regime that was worshipped by all dynasties. And the Tang Dynasty still allowed the existence of neighboring countries. China has never conquered other countries in such a prosperous and powerful period for 5,000 years. Those countries that advocate the theory of China's threat are simply absurd and a joke." Lin Feng said in a sonorous and powerful voice.

Everyone applauded. Indeed, China's history over the years has proved that China is a friendly country that will not threaten its neighboring countries. Such advocacy of the threat theory is simply a conspiracy with ulterior motives.

"So, no matter how China develops militarily, it will never threaten its neighbors. China will only exist as a stabilizing factor in a region." Lin Feng said loudly.

Everyone applauded.

"Well said, this speaks our mind. Those Westerners with bad intentions, who talk about the China threat theory all day long, are really out of their minds. If there really was a threat, would we allow countries like Vietnam and the Philippines to provoke us repeatedly!" Mr. Xi snorted.

However, these words are not so recognized in the West. It is true that there have been no invaders in Chinese history. That is because they were stupid and would not invade other countries even when they were strong. In the end, they themselves were invaded. This is history, which proves that Lin Feng's remarks are wrong. Therefore, when you are strong, you must occupy more resources and have a broader strategic space. Only in this way can we maintain our invincible position in the future. What's more, a country must not pin its own security on the benevolence and righteousness of other countries. If this is the case, then this country is not far from destruction.

Therefore, China's rise must be threatening.

"Okay, now we don't talk about the military, we only talk about the people's life happiness index. There are many ideas about this index. And what I want to say is different from others. In my opinion, whether people are happy or not is very simple. , that is, whether people are living or surviving," Lin Feng explained.

Life and survival are two different words, but their meanings are completely different. Survival simply means that you can live and exist in this world, like animals, able to breathe air and maintain the existence of life qualities.

But life is completely different. Life. That means you can enjoy this world and enjoy everything in this beautiful world. The two are fundamentally different and have completely different sensory experiences.

"Only in life is the happiness index indicator of a country's people. Of course, life must have a definition. What is life?" Lin Feng smiled slightly, "There is no complete definition. After all, everyone's happiness is not The same. But generally speaking, you can plan for the following points. First, you don’t have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation every day. The first basic element of life is to solve the physical problem. needs.”

"The second point is spiritual needs. People should live happily and happily. If this requires planning for hardware indicators, then I can't describe it in words. This cannot be described by hard indicators. . Because this is purely a feeling in my heart. But what I have to say is that you can do what you want to do. For example, you can get together with your friends every week, go on an outing with your relatives, and so on. Things that I feel happy in my heart." Lin Feng smiled slightly, "These are too abstract. I can't explain it clearly, but there is nothing I can do about it. After all, you know whether you are drinking water or not."

"Mr. Lin, when can we become the world's most powerful country?" Chen Luyu was also a little dizzy after hearing this. This thing is too abstract. The audience still wants to know the specific time.

"It's very simple. When Chinese people can own cars and houses and travel every year, they will inevitably become the world's most powerful country!" Lin Feng did not say the specific time.

"Then this is the same as the third question. But when exactly is it? Mr. Lin, please forgive me for asking such a difficult question. Can you roughly assess when China will become the world's most powerful country? What will the Chinese people do? When will I be able to have a car and a house and start a happy family of my own?" Chen Luyu asked.

All the viewers are waiting. They were just ordinary people, and they were not satisfied with what Lin Feng said was so mysterious. They just want to know the exact time. They just want to know when, as Chinese, they can live like Americans. Such a happy life.

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly.

"You really asked me an extremely difficult question to answer. This question is really difficult to answer, and it's too difficult for me!" Lin Feng smiled bitterly, "This question really cannot be explained in a few words. But Since you asked and everyone wants to know, I’ll tell you.”

"Of course, I can only predict an approximate time for your reference only." Lin Feng said seriously and seriously.

Everyone nodded. They also know that this is a bit difficult for Lin Feng, but they really want to know when they will be able to live a life like the United States and China will become the world's most powerful country.

"First of all, I think everyone should understand one thing, that is resource consumption. Every day, each of us consumes this precious resource given to us by nature. As long as everyone is born, from the first breath of air in this world, Ask for it from the earth. And everyone should know that any resource on the earth is by no means infinite, inexhaustible, and inexhaustible. Although we were taught this in primary school, we should be clear that this argument is just that. Relatively speaking, it is by no means true. The so-called infinity is only relative to a certain number of people. Once the population exceeds a certain limit, this infinity becomes empty talk. According to statistics from various countries around the world, the limit of the population that the earth can support. It’s 15 billion!”

Lin Feng took a breath.

"When you hear this number, you may still feel that it is still far away from this number. After all, the earth is only a little over 6.5 billion, less than 7 billion, and still far away from 15 billion. But in fact "Is the population that the earth can support really 15 billion?" Lin Feng shook his head, "It's simply impossible. According to today's economic development, the maximum number of people that the earth can support is 8 billion!"

8 billion? Why is there so much missing? Regarding the population load of 15 billion, many people know and are very clear that this is a number that is recognized by various countries and was arrived at by scientists after detailed statistics a long time ago. Why was half of it missing when it came to Lin Feng's mouth? Who is right and who is wrong?

"Why do I say that the Earth can only bear 8 billion people? This is not my nonsense or alarmist talk. It is a number obtained after a detailed evaluation by my team. How did I get this number? It is a number calculated based on the earth resource statistics provided by various countries, minus the average daily resource consumption of the current population. Ladies and gentlemen, the Earth can bear 15 billion people. That was the conclusion drawn more than a decade ago, and the per capita resource consumption at that time was far from what it is today. More than a decade ago, the per capita resource consumption was less than half of what it is now. Now, there are more countries developing, such as China. The changes in the past decade or so are huge, not only in the economy, but more in the demand for resources." Lin Feng said in a deep voice, "China has a population of 1.3 billion. If all Chinese people reach the American living standard, then the Earth's resources will be in a huge vacuum in the short term, and resource consumption will be aggravated, and may even cause a shortage of resources." Lin Feng looked serious.

"The so-called China threat theory, to a certain extent, is also a resource crisis caused by the intensified demand for resources after China's economic development. After all, the total amount of resources is only so much. If I consume more, you will have less. What's more, it is not just China that wants to develop and live like the United States, but also India, which is also a populous country. And don't the people of Africa want to live a good life? Everyone wants to live a good life, but there are only so many resources on the earth, what should we do?" Lin Feng asked.

Everyone thought of a word-war.

War has always been a struggle for resources. It is normal to fight for resources. If resources are sufficient, it is difficult to start a war. But if resources are insufficient, a war will break out at any sign.

Is the third world war inevitable in the future? A shadow passed through everyone's heart. According to Lin Feng, the rise of developing countries will intensify the consumption of resources, so war will inevitably break out. This is inevitable. Anyone who has studied history can easily draw this conclusion. In fact, everything that has happened in the world has proved Lin Feng's inference.

Is the future of this world, like a science fiction movie, going to be destroyed by a world war?
