Taking 750 million people out of poverty in the last 25 years has been an amazing achievement by #China - It could not happen under Western Capitalism....
RT @ErikSolheim: China went from 80% extreme poverty in 1980 to NO extreme poverty 40 yrs later 👇🇨🇳

It is the most succesful economic development in history !

We should take joy in China’s accomplishments. Not fear from it👏

The @EPPGroup may be defending the short term financial interests of Big Agri but their poorly thought out opposition to #restorenature will do nothing to help the vast majority of Farmers....
RT @l_guillot: The EPP has been campaigning against the Nature Restoration Regulation, saying it's defending the interests of farmers in doing so.
Businesses are replying such opposition is non-sense.
