Study in China taught lesson that unity can be found in opposites

As a young psychiatrist, Bertrand Piccard traveled around China for three weeks in 1992, learning about qigong, a traditional Chinese health and exercise system, and the Chinese philosophy of Taoism.

He learned from Taoism that one can find unity in opposites. For example, clean technology can protect the environment as well as stimulate the economy.
