We are not at the end of the COVID-19 crisis, and maybe not even at the end of the beginning. But it is not too soon to build the strategies that will foster broad-based growth.As the world considers how to navigate the post-COVID-19 reality, the only certainty is that the future will be different, or at least not what it used to be. But then, the future is always different, and always uncertain. The past is less so. Considering the lessons of history can help business leaders and policy makers figure out how to manage the challenging years ahead, and we have an article in our Feature Story section on this topic.The aviation industry is one of the safest industries in the world, and this is due to the impressive professionals behind the scene. In Tianjin, we have the opportunity to be trained in the best worldwide aviation techniques, thanks to companies like Delight Aerospace Technology, which is based in Tianjin.The demand for skilled technicians in aviation, manufacturing, welding, energy, and other industries is outpacing the number of those entering these career fields. China and the rest of the world need men and women to develop technical trade skills for today and for the future. Delight Aerospace, together with its new partners, is proud to teach these skills.We talked with Jason Jia (Jia Yong Chen), GM of Reignwood Aviation Technic Co. Ltd. and at the same time, we got the inputs of David Liu, Project Manager of Delight Aerospace Technology Ltd and Zhang Li Wei, Vice General Manager of GYA Technic, and got to know more details about the collaboration between these important players in the aviation industry in China.In other news, China’s economy is already on track to recoup its COVID-19-induced losses by the end of the year, and it is doing so faster than any other major world economy. The recent strong rally in equity and property prices will also make policymakers think twice about large-scale stimulus which may disproportionately benefit the financial assets market, leading to a wider gap between the real economy and capital markets.We dedicate our Last Words section to artist Gurm. She looks forward to returning soon to Tianjin, the city she has called home for the past 21 years, and to the studio that she set up there a few months before she embarked on her fateful “10-day trip” with her family back in February 2020. Until then, she is determined to continue to stay positive and productive.
