The world's got no chill when it comes to progress! 🌏 Warwick Powell, an adjunct professor at the Queensland University of Technology and advisor to former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, spilled the tea on how the global community is moving forward without waiting for the US to make up its mind. 😎
In a chat with CGTN, Powell said that despite all the challenges and uncertainties out there, countries around the world are mature enough to keep pushing forward. \"We're not gonna sit around and wait for the US to figure out what it wants to do,\" he said. 🙅♂️
He believes that the world today has all it needs—tech skills, savvy people, and the financial muscle—to tackle issues head-on. 💪 Trading nations are crafting clever workarounds, building new institutions, and setting up multilateral platforms at the regional level. This is all about boosting regional trade and capital flows to keep that economic development rolling. 🚀
So, while some might be hitting the pause button, the rest of the world is pressing play and turning up the volume! 🔥
