Chinese Modernization: A New Model for Global Development

A new report from Xinhua Institute, a think tank of China's Xinhua News Agency, highlights Chinese-style modernization as a unique development model offering valuable lessons for other nations, particularly those in the "Global South." The report argues that this model transcends traditional Western frameworks and provides an alternative path to development.

Key Features of the Chinese Modernization Model:

• Beyond the Western Paradigm: The report, titled "Answering Questions of Our Times: The Global Significance and Practical Value of Chinese Public Intellectual Products," asserts that Chinese-style modernization "has reshaped the traditional model of global modernization." It refutes the idea that modernization is synonymous with Westernization.

• Internally Driven Development: The Chinese model emphasizes achieving internally driven development. Its development paths are rooted in each country's unique national circumstances, cultural traditions, and history, rather than merely imitating external models. This approach empowers developing nations to build their future on their own terms.
