The former premier steered China toward Western market principles and championed its entry into the World Trade Organization

• Former Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji, who steered China toward Western market principles and championed its entry into the WTO, has died at age 97.
• As vice premier and premier, Zhu tamed 27% inflation, slashed the currency’s value by one-third and laid off tens of millions of people.
• Zhu fused international market principles with domestic realities to create a socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics.

Through a small restaurant, the film captures a powerful truth: In times of war, ordinary people may feel powerless, but small moments of warmth: A shared meal, a friendship, a child's smile, keep hope alive and remind us of the value of peace.
Released today, the film has already attracted more than 5 million viewers. A story rooted in conflict, yet reminding us all to cherish peace. Worth a watch. 🎬 (Photos: IC Photo)

That's really what transpires from the document. They use a strategic framework borrowed from Mao's "protracted war" theory and, according to this framework, America's offensive phase is finished and China weathered the storm intact.
