Zepp-LaRouche to Global Times: ‘We Are Currently in the Most Dangerous Period in History Ever’

Dec. 29—On Dec. 26, China’s Global Times published an article by Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche, titled, “BRI Offers Opportunities for All Nations in the Second Decade of Growth.” The article was assembled by the editors based on a recent exclusive Global Times interview with Zepp-LaRouche.

Zepp-LaRouche describes how China’s innovation-driven economic policy has fostered an era of high quality development in many nations of the Global South, during the just concluded first decade of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

However, she warns, "We are currently in the most dangerous period in history ever, because some forces in the West cannot reconcile themselves with the fact that the unipolar world has been replaced already with a multipolar order.

“In any case, the China-proposed initiative, with the ultimate aim of building a community with a shared future for mankind, is one of the global cooperation platforms on the table to overcome the geopolitical divide in the world. It is also a natural and essential way to bring infrastructure development into all corners of the world as a precondition for industrialization.”
