Dr. Huiyao Wang's commentary is, as always, thoughtful, positive, and inspiring. His own work is a testimony to the adaptable, resilient, and highly intelligent Chinese spirit. Perhaps the one and most important element in the rapid progression of the People's Republic of China has been the removal or attenuation of the external forces which have consistently and deliberately impeded its development. The current Mongols have been subdued and made largely irrelevant as Dr. Wang points out. Now we may witness the long overdue fruits of true global collaboration.

More external forces biting their nails at the opportunity to further impede Zhongguó's development are already growing significantly and dangerously, in my opinion, though.

The progress Zhongguó has made is truly impressive, particularly in the spirit of the excess-moderating reforms since President Xi Jinping rose to the leadership of the government in 2012, but it seems to me that a lot remains to be done, not only internally, but also to respond to the re-emerging external threat (exactly the same as almost 200 years ago).

I wish Zhongguó the best of luck in the coming years.
