China's Decade-Long Yangtze River Fishing Ban Reverses 70 Years of Decline | Happy Eco News
Yangtze River fishing ban recovery demonstrates fish biomass doubling and 13% diversity increase within five years as China's unprecedented 10-year moratorium on commercial fishing reverses 70 years of biodiversity decline with a US$3 billion fisher transition program.

If China was a democratic country then perhaps you could say the roles of the cold war had somehow reversed, with China being the obvious technological leader in the world, while the USA tries desperately to hold on to its empire, and relevance through naked aggression.
But going to an english-language chinese news site and seeing talk of spacewalks and space stations really drives home how history has kind of flipped.

China expects up to 287 GW of new PV capacity additions in 2026
China’s PV industry expects 238 GW to 287 GW of domestic capacity additions in 2026 as it pivots away from volume-led growth after a loss-making year driven by overcapacity and sharp price declines. The shift follows rapid expansion in 2021-25 that lifted cumulative capacity above 1.2 TW, annual additions beyond 300 GW and exports over $180 billion.
