What strategies do countries in the Middle East have to deal with the unsustainability of oil for a long time?

For details, please refer to the negative textbook on South Pacific Island Countries - Nauru.

In the island country of Nauru, due to the discovery of a large amount of phosphate rock and the abandoned basic industries, the citizens are unwilling to make progress despite high welfare.

Faced with the reality that the phosphate mines will be mined out after more than ten years, the Nauru government has also thought of many countermeasures, such as the Nauru Building, the transformation of the financial industry, etc. It seems beautiful and rational, right?

Bart, the reality is cruel. Comfort and enjoyment have destroyed all of this. The Nauru Tower plan has been aborted. Nauru’s banks have also become a haven for money laundering in the region and have been blacklisted by many countries.

Nauru, which was finally on the verge of bankruptcy, sold its national sovereignty to the Australian government. Today, Nauruans live a shabby life.

Born in sorrow and dying in happiness.

Fortunately, we Chinese have many people but few resources, so we have developed a fine tradition of careful budgeting. Otherwise, we may have been divided up many times.

After oil is exhausted or eliminated by new energy sources, the following situations will probably occur:

1. Rich nobles immigrate overseas and become self-reliant. Or stay and watch your life as a king gradually turn into that of a village chief.

2. People’s welfare has been greatly reduced. Protest, protest, protest again. Why was it that yesterday I was eating a Manchu-Han banquet and today I was braised in soybean sauce?

3. The national debt rose to the point of deficit, and civil strife continued. The government that came to power resisted resolving the conflicts, and the real Arab Spring was staged in a revolving door.

4. Many years later, people in various countries gradually accepted the reality and began to work on economic transformation in a down-to-earth manner.

Of course, my point of view is pessimistic. Arabia’s various achievements since ancient times were not due to down-to-earth production. In the old days, they were economic and cultural second-tier dealers and profiteers, euphemistically called media for cultural communication. Later, he discovered oil and became a wealthy man with a lot of money and stupidity. There are a few sober people but they cannot represent the entire blindly obedient social consciousness.

Perhaps they are the only group of people on earth who do not want artificial sun to be realized.
