For more than 15 years, cameraman and ecologist John D. Liu has been working on his worldwide mission to green deserts and to restore biodiversity.It all started in 1995 when Liu filmed the Loess-plateau in China. He witnessed a local population who turned an area of almost the same size as The Netherlands from a dry, exhausted wasteland into one green oasis. This experience changed his life. From that moment on, Liu has been travelling all over the world to convince and inspire government leaders, policy-makers and farmers with his film material and knowledge. Liu diligently spreads the message that restoration of ecosystems is not only possible, but also economically very meaningful.Backlight accompanies Liu on his mission in Jordan and shows on the basis of Liu’s own film material that a green future is possible worldwide.Originally broadcasted by VPRO in 2012.

Despite political rhetoric to the contrary, the United States and China have enjoyed the most mutually successful economic partnership in modern history.

The Group of Seven (G7) nations include the US, Canada, the UK, Japan, Germany, France, and Italy. As emerging market economies, and especially China, have boomed, the G7's share of global GDP has dramatically fallen.

But a closer examination of the underlying economic data shows that the United States' share of global GDP has risen, especially since 2010. The US is the only G7 country to take a larger share of global GDP while China's economy rocketed higher.

How China Got Rich | Business Documentary from 2019

Over 40 years China has been transformed out of all recognition, the scale of its growth and the sheer speed of change has been astonishing. The country has seen the largest lifting of people out of poverty that has ever taken place in human history, and today China is a global force, predicted to become the world’s biggest economy in a couple of decades.

So how did an impoverished and backward communist country become an engine of global capitalism? What actually happened 40 years ago to set China on the road to prosperity?

Michael Wood talks to the people who were there; the men and women who had been sent to be ‘re-educated ‘on farms and in factories; the farmers who defied the government and broke with communism; the woman has given the very first private business certificate; and the US technical advisor sent to China by the UN to kickstart the change. He travels across the country to meet China’s highest-ranking female diplomat and the people who worked with Premier Deng Xiaoping. The film mixes these testimonies with a fascinating archive of the Chinese leader meeting President Carter in Washington and on fact-finding missions in Japan and Singapore. Interviews too with Deng’s biographer, Professor Ezra Vogel from Harvard University and Ambassador James Stapleton-Roy who lifts the lid on the intensive work behind the scenes which led to the US recognizing the People’s Republic of China in 1979.

The second part of the film looks at the results of those initiatives in today’s China, visiting high-tech global giants Tencent and Alibaba and China’s top universities Tsinghua and SUStech. We visit a high-speed rail workshop and the world’s fastest-growing container port; we interview the American lawyer who set up the first Chinese deals for multinationals including Exon Mobile and Roche Pharmaceuticals. Finally, we ask Robert Daly the Director of the Kissinger Institute on China and Ambassador Roy where they think China is heading, and if political reform will be on the agenda any time soon.

China’s decision to open up to the world 40 years ago has been called ‘the most important event of modern world history’, and it is one in which America played a crucial role. Today China is a major player, flexing its muscles on the global stage. In this film, Michael Wood tracks the beginning of their meteoric rise, looks at the extraordinary scale of present-day developments and asks both Chinese and US experts for clues to the future.

With extraordinary access to key witnesses, this timely and important film tells the story of How China Got Rich.

Super-rare LP by Dr. Ben ( December 31, 1918 – March 19, 2015), recorded in 1971.

Liner notes:
For many years, the general public and the Black Community in particular, lived in the midst of a virtual desert of non-information about ancient African history. By chance, a man or woman here and there would glimpse the dim past, discover its treasures, and understand its meaning. But today, during the period of Black Se!f-Discovery, this is changing. Today, the covers are being pulled off the past in a manner that will spark all sorts of reactions. Some will try to walk away in disbelief. Many others will find their eyes opening so wide to a new encounter with the Truth that their lives will never be the same again. Never! Your life won't be the same again either, once the needle touches these grooves. What you have in your hands is a mind blower! It is history—Black people's history, our history—revealed in rare form. Check it out for yourself: Was Moses a Black man? Did the early Christian church start in Africa? Is it true that the queen of England has African ancestors? Did Black scholars, in fact, help to create the religion of Islam? Who, indeed, first wrote and spoke the words, "Man, Know Thyself?" Check it out for yourself. The Committee for Student Rights, Inc., in response to strong public demand, produced this two-record album of a major lecture delivered by the renowned historian-philosopher, Dr. Yosef Ben-Jochannan. The Committee captured just a portion of the impact of Dr. Ben-Jochannan's speech before an overflow audience that day when the Truth of African people's glorious1iistory took them by surprise. . . . The speaker is an Ethiopia-born Black scholar who spent part of his early life in the West Indies. He has been a researcher into the past of the African race since the 1930's. His travels have taken him to four continents. The founder of Akebu-lan Book Publishing Company, Dr. Ben-Jochannan is the author of an impressive list of publications, including Black Man of the Nile, Africa-Mother of Western Civilization, African Origins of the Major Western Religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), Cul-tural Genocide in the Black Studies Curriculum, We, the Black Jews, and others. He authored summary works called, "A Chronology of the Bible," and "The Black Man's North and East Africa." Herein lies a golden opportunity for you to get "turned on" to yourself in a short time. Freeing Black people means freeing yourself, and to free yourself you must take back your mind. Knowing YOUR/OUR history is the first step in this liberation process.
