Hi, "They may very well have begun in China--these 25years of comparative global peace, which we have been enjoying and for which we have all paid so much in changed perceptions,priorities,and actions. " What's the meaning of the sentence? I think you may see the meaning more clearly if I put the sentence into a more normal word order.
