  1. The ozone layer is recovering well, thanks to efforts started in 1978 with an agreement between US, Canada, and Norway. It became more global in 1989 when the Montreal Protocol took effect.

    Today, “This progress should be celebrated as a timely reminder of what can be achieved when the international community works together to address global environmental challenges...”

    Ahem, climate change, anyone?

    Anyone???

  2. If we depend on other countries, it's not healthy either. We have a history with foreign entities: the British, the Japanese, and the Portuguese; they colonized us and exploited us for resources. Then, China's presence encroaches into our EEZ. Philippine politicians are claiming Sabah. It seems to me that we have no one to trust, not even ourselves. It seems to me that it's best for the government to just go with the flow, enjoy the world, maintain our stability, and engage in politics and democracy while doing what is best at the moment, including being friends with both China and the US, Australia, and the countries you mentioned. Yes, better training with them than doing nothing. We are a relatively new country, lacking in many resources, knowledge, and ideologies, and we have been exploited. The local politicians are also corrupt. We just do what we are capable of at the moment, being ourselves.

  7. The Chinese political model is another variation of politics in the world, much like the diversity found among humans and genders. It is usually respected because its representatives choose to be respected and enforce that respect. Preventing or sanctioning Chinese trading activities or disparaging a political party solely for its wrongdoings is a controlling activity, and for me, it represents a form of modern authoritarianism. Democracy around the world can coexist with monarchy and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

  8. We have god-like technology yet struggle with the global cooperation needed for survival (climate, pandemics, WMDs). We argue for focusing on common ground NOW. Future generations depend on our choices today.
