Mr. Rifkin argued that the Digital Europe transition will revolutionize every commercial sector, disrupt the workings of virtually every industry, bring with it unprecedented new economic opportunities, put millions of people back to work, and create a more sustainable post-carbon society to mitigate climate change.

China's New Richest Man Says His Success is Inspired by Jeremy Rifkin's Vision of a Third Industrial Revolution
In his new book, China's New Energy Revolution, Li Hejun, now China's richest man, says he was "deeply moved [by the] powerful set of coordinates" that Jeremy Rifkin lays out in his book, The Third Industrial Revolution, regarding the conceptualization and deployment of a digitalized Third Industrial Revolution infrastructure. In the preface to his book, Li Hejun writes "I was deeply moved by the author's insights. Reflecting upon my experience working in the new energy sector in the past 20 years, and especially in the PV industry in recent years, I found Rifkin's thesis very convincing." Li Hejun's company, Hanergy, is a leading thin-film solar power company in the world. Hejun envisions the installation of solar and other renewable energies in every community, allowing millions of people and thousands of businesses to produce their own energy and share surpluses with others on a digitalized Energy Internet stretching across China. Hejun's mission is to transform China into a sustainable post-carbon Third Industrial Revolution economy powered by renewable energies.
Mr. Rifkin's Third Industrial Revolution vision has also been embraced by the new Chinese leadership. In December 2011, Premier Li Keqiang announced that he had read Mr. Rifkin's Third Industrial Revolution book with great interest and had asked the appropriate government agencies to pay close attention to the central themes in preparing China's plan to usher-in an ecological civilization. Vice Premier Wang Yang has also endorsed Mr. Rifkin's Third Industrial Revolution economic development model.
