ideological battle and politics of cultural reaction. Such a reactive status quo has no intellectual
appeal to attract and inspire beyond its borders.

So, if for China the XIX was a “century of humiliation”, XX “century of emancipation”, should
it be that the XXI gets labeled as a “century of imitation”?
(The BRI is what the most attribute as an instrument of the Chinese planetary posture. Chinese
leaders promised massive infrastructure projects all around by burning trillions of dollars. Still,
numbers are more moderate. As the 2019 The II BRI Summit has shown (and the forthcoming
BRI Summit of November 2020 may confirm), so far, Chinese companies had invested USD
90 billion worldwide. Seems, neither People’s Republic is as rich as many (wish to) think nor
it will be able to finance its promised projects without seeking for a global private capital. Such
a capital –if ever – will not flow without conditionalities. The Asian Infrastructure Investment
Bank (AIIB) and the BRICS or ‘New Development’ – Bank have some $150 billion at hand,
and the Silk Road Infrastructure Fund (SRIF) has up to $40 billion. Chinese state and semi-
private companies can access – according to the OECD estimates – just another $600 billion
(much of it tight) from the home, state-controlled financial sector. That means that China runs
short on the BRI deliveries worldwide. Ergo, either bad news to the (BRI) world or the
conditionalities’ constrained China.)
How to behave in the world in which economy is made to service trade (as it is defined by the
Sino-American high priests of globalization), while (preservation of domestic jobs and) trade
increasingly constitutes a significant part of the big power’s national security strategy? And,
how to define (and measure) the existential threat: by inferiority of ideological narrative – like
during the Cold War; or by a size of a lagging gap in total manufacturing output – like in the
Cold War aftermath. Or something third? Perhaps a return to an inclusive growth.
If our civilizational course is still the same – the self-realization of mankind; than the
deglobalization would be a final price to pay for re-humanization of labor and overall planetary
greening. Are we there yet?

Promise of the Schumann Resonance
Earlier in this text, we already elaborated on imperial fictions and frictions: Empires and
superpowers create their own realities, as they are not bound to ‘situation on ground’. For them,
the main question is never what they can but what they want in international conduct.
For sure, there is no intellectual appeal in a growth without well-being, education that does not
translate into fair opportunity, lives without dignity, liberalization without personal freedom.
Greening international relations along with a greening of social fabrics and its economy
(including the shift to blue and white, sea and wind, energy) – geopolitical and environmental
understanding, de-acidification and relaxation is that missing, third, way for tomorrow.

This necessitates both at once: less confrontation over the art-of-day technology and their de-
monopolized redistribution as well as the resolute work on the so-called Tesla-ian
implosive/fusion-holistic systems. That would include the free-transfer non-Hertzian energy
technologies (able to avoid life in electromagnetic technologically generated soup of
unbearable radiation toxicity, actually able to de-toxicate our troposphere from dangerous
fields, waves and frequencies emittance - drawing us closer to Schumann resonance); carbon-
sequestration; antigravity and self-navigational solutions; bioinformatics and nanorobotics.
