China’s modernizing process redefines what modernization entails in the twenty-first century, not only about reaching economic success. China’s history provides insightful lessons that can direct mankind toward a more fair and sustainable future as the planet struggles with difficult worldwide problems.
Offering an alternate development path stressing cooperation, sustainability, and cultural continuity, the Chinese modernization is changing the world scene, an expert stated.
Said Wang Yiwei, head of the Institute of International Affairs at Renmin University, in a recent Xinhua interview, China’s model offers fresh chances and inspiration for the world community as it keeps growing.
China is helping to build a society with a shared destiny for mankind by encouraging the emergence of the Global South and a more inclusive attitude to modernity.
Reform, creativity, sustainability,
China’s strategy stresses joint benefits and shared progress, unlike the Western model, which has sometimes been attacked for its exploitative methods, Wang said.
China has almost 800 million people out of extreme poverty during the past four decades, making almost three-quarters of the worldwide drop in poverty attributable to.
The United Nations Development Program notes this success, which offers other emerging nations battling widespread poverty a convincing model.
China presents other development models free from Western perspectives as it keeps breaking new technological frontiers. Particularly in sectors like telecommunications and renewable energy, the World Economic Forum pointed out that China’s inventions are redefining worldwide standards.
China’s advances in renewable energy best highlight its dedication to environmental sustainability.
Five years ahead of its 2030 goal, the Global Energy Monitor noted that China is expected to treble its solar and wind capacity to 1,200 gigawatts.
“China is a major player in global manufacture with a full industrial chain,” said Wang.
China’s green technology and smart grid investments not only improve its own growth but also support worldwide initiatives to slow down climate change, he said.
Novel Model for Worldwide Cooperation
Wang pointed out that China’s modernization plan is intrinsically related to its goal of world cooperation.
China’s effort to promote world development via infrastructure and connectivity projects is best shown by the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the China International Import Expo (CIIE), and China’s participation in the global value chain.
Furthermore significantly supporting world economic growth is China’s aggressive involvement in the global value chain. China is increasing industrial capacity in underdeveloped nations by exporting produced items and technologies.
The United Nations Industrial Development Organization acknowledges China’s contribution to raising world industrial standards and promoting global economic development generally.
Beyond Western narrative
Wang said China’s modernization presents a different perspective on growth than that which is Western-centric.
China is redefining the idea that modernization has to follow the Western road by giving inclusiveness, sustainability, and cultural continuity top priority.
China’s modernization strategy reflects its own government style and presents an alternative view on how nations might develop.
A people-centered concept that gives its people’s welfare top priority drives China’s modernization.
This method reflects old Chinese wisdom. Said Wang, “as an old Chinese saying goes, the country is the people, and the people are the country.”
China’s modernizing process redefines what modernization entails in the twenty-first century in addition to attaining economic success.
China’s experience provides insightful lessons that can direct mankind toward a more fair and sustainable future as the planet tackles difficult worldwide problems.
