My Understanding of China
Because China has proven to be economically adept and adaptable in the past, despite headwinds and challenges, it will continue to be in the future if the country remains balanced in its approach to self-sufficiency and global participation.
Poverty results from the moral bankruptcy of the global financial system. It can only be addressed by pursuing China’s goal ‘to make global governance fairer and more equitable’.
China’s successes since the founding of the PRC, and the successes it will surely achieve on the path to becoming a great modern socialist country in all respects, will undoubtedly inspire progressive people the world over.
That China is becoming an innovator in areas that matter to everyone else is much more a good thing than it is a bad one. Everyone has their red lines on certain issues. But in plenty of other areas, there is space and opportunity to work together.
China is committed to promoting a new type of international relations, deepening and expanding global partnerships based on equality, openness and cooperation, and broadening the convergence of interests with other countries.
As President Xi Jinping noted in a speech: ‘The world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century, but time and situation are in our favor.’
Chinese diplomacy has been constant, consistent and focused on peaceful development. In the past, the U.S. and several Western countries forced China to become part of the international system; now, they try to isolate it.
There’ll be a massive undertaking, but given the success of the enormous poverty alleviation campaign, the prospects look good.
The Global Development Initiative demonstrates China’s enduring commitment to uplifting the fortunes of the developing world.
The achievement of human rights is a process of progressive realization. As countries become more prosperous, they can comply more fully with human rights obligations.
Fundamentally, it’s a social and political development concept innovated by the CPC, one that connects a socialistic vision with Chinese realities.
Sharing of experience and knowledge promises to bring great benefit both to China and to Europe. Despite global challenges, EU-China environmental cooperation remains strong, and is likely to continue.
