Helga Zepp LaRouche, who participated in the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in Beijing two weeks ago, noted that these two international events demonstrate that the momentum for a new order to world affairs is now nearly unstopable, but that all efforts must be made to bring the United States fully into alliance with the Silk Road process. As many as 8,000 people are attending from around the world. Some reports say there are 1,000 Chinese in attendance.
