For Jeffrey Sachs, one of the world s leading experts in the fight against poverty, China s declaration on Thursday of complete victory in eradicating extreme poverty should inspire the whole world.
President Xi Jinping announced the victory at a gathering in Beijing to mark the country s achievements in poverty reduction and honor its model poverty fighters. Over the past eight years, the final 98.99 million impoverished rural residents living under the country s poverty line have bid farewell to poverty.
Gravity May Play a Tiny But Important Role in The Microworld of Particle Physics
21 FEBRUARY 2021
Launch yourself from a great enough height and it won t take long to see which would win in a battle between gravity and the forces that bind solid ground.
Gravity s relative weakness, at least compared to the strength of electromagnetism and the nuclear forces, appears to limits its power to phenomena on the vast scales of planets and galaxies.
For this reason, together with the challenge of marrying general relativity with quantum physics, physicists tend to hand-wave gravity s role in the formation of particles by fudging it with a rather arbitrary correction factor.

This book puts the trade war between the United States and China in historical context. Exploring the dynamics of isolation and internal reform from a Chinese perspective, the author draws upon valuable insights from China s years of isolation prior to the famous Nixon-Mao summit. Advocating internal reform as a more productive strategy than conflict with other powers, this powerful argument for globalization with Chinese characteristics will be of interest to scholars of China, economists, and political scientists.
