Cutting through an overload of information to get to the heart of the story.
This is the point.
Humanities' values versus American values.
Which way to go?
On September the 23rd, US President Donald Trump delivered an one-hour...
speech to the UN General Assembly, during which he gave himself a big pat on the back,
blasted the UN as a failure, criticized European allies on immigration and energy,
attacked China's windmills, and called climate change the greatest con job in the world.
His remarks were a stark contrast from those delivered by Chinese Premier Li Chang.
Li hailed the United Nations as the world's quote-unquote most universal,
representative and authoritative intergovernmental organization,
which plays an irreplaceable key role in global governance.
Li said that China is ready to work together with the United Nations and the world for peace and shared security.
