Trip to Shenyang 8 - 12 September 2024

 

Mukden Palace (Forbidden City Shenyang) 9th Sept 2024 

I have just finished an extremely rewarding and interesting visit to Shenyang China this past week. It was a business cum leisure trip of 5 days of which 1 day was spent at the Canta Technology factory touring the factory as well as attending the full day convention highlighting the technology of O2 enhancement in everyday life and also in reversing aging.

I was grateful to be asked onstage as a new distributor to give my views on the product and I am glad to report that this is product of the future.

The era of living past 100 years is upon us and if we are mindful of what we eat, do proper exercise and get adequate sleep, it is highly possible for many in our midst to live to be a centenarian.

The only downside is making sure we have enough to live meaningful and purposeful lives which not only enrich, but uplift as many of the people around our spheres of influence. 

Mukden Palace was the abode of the 2nd Qing Emperor who ruled for 14 years in Shenyang. He was the 2nd Emperor of the late Jin and early Qing Dynasty. This was the period of the Manchu, and the magnificent architecture displays designs of that era. His son, subsequently moved the entire royal family to Beijing in 1645. The Palace was then left empty and only used as a regional holiday home. The entire Qing Dynasty lasted only 19 short years, from 1626 till 1645.

 The Royal Throne. 

My takeaway from this China trip ? China is very much on the ascendency, the technology of the cars, the equipment, the infrastructure and telecommunications leads me to believe, that the rest of the world needs to 

a) acknowledge that China is leading the world in many sectors

b) Soft power from China will always be the front and centre of their influence.

We should not be ostriches hiding our heads in the sand. Instead, we  we should embrace their desire to be accepted globally as an economic power while using their advanced research and technological prowess can help solve many of the worlds current problems.

While we are now in  a multi polar world, the rest of the world would benefit from China's contribution rather than stifle its growth through prohibitive tariffs and exhibiting blatant protectionistic behavior.
