KUNMING, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) — China's modernization, which is based on the country's national conditions while drawing on the outstanding achievements of human civilization, serves as a valuable example for other countries, especially those in the Global South, according to an analysis released Saturday.
The report, titled "Answers to the Questions of Our Time: The Global Significance and Practical Value of China's Intellectual Public Goods," was prepared by the Xinhua Institute of the Xinhua News Agency.
According to the report, Chinese modernization has adjusted the paradigm of global modernization and created a new form of human progress. It is a significant step beyond the theories and practices of Western-style modernization and destroys the myth that “modernization is equivalent to Westernization.”
China's modernization demonstrates that countries at relatively late stages of development can achieve development driven by domestic factors. Development paths should be shaped by the country's national conditions, culture, and historical traditions, rather than simply copying the models of others, especially Western countries.
The concept of development driven by internal factors leads to the search for ways of modernization in accordance with the realities, resource potential, cultural traditions and social structure of each country, developing institutional innovations and effective policies.
China's practice shows that developing countries should not rely on a single foreign template, but instead should combine their domestic potential with the peaceful use of external resources to find their own path forward. This approach is an important example in terms of finding a development path for countries in the Global South, whose economies remain relatively underdeveloped.
China's modernization is firmly based on independence, emphasizing a high level of self-reliance and capability in the economic and scientific fields. Through independent innovation, industrial upgrading and institutional improvement, the country has succeeded in reducing excessive dependence on external resources and securing strategic initiative in national development, according to the report.
China's experience shows that developing countries do not have to follow a path of dependence to achieve economic growth, but can instead play an active role in the global economy. This independent development path serves as a theoretical guide for countries in the Global South seeking to be free from external economic constraints.
China's modernization is firmly people-centered: development is for the people, is based on the people, and benefits the people. This approach reflects China's deep understanding of modernization as not just a tool for economic growth, but also a path to achieving people's happiness and social justice, the report says.
In pursuit of high-quality development and a bigger "pie," China attaches equal importance to the fair distribution of the "pie," focusing on employment, income distribution, education, health care, housing, elderly and child care, and ensuring equal basic public services for urban and rural areas.
This approach has made it possible to reduce interregional and social inequalities, increase the population's sense of satisfaction with economic, cultural and educational life, and maintain long-term social stability and harmony, thereby giving an internal impetus to national development and social cohesion.
China's modernization is deeply rooted in the finest cultural traditions of Chinese civilization, forming a path with distinctive characteristics. Unlike some countries that abandoned their traditions during modernization, China's modernization insists on the principle of "innovation through inheritance and inheritance through innovation", integrating ideas such as benevolence, people-orientedness and harmony into modern governance, thereby creating a unique model of coordinated material and cultural-ethical progress, the report said.
This culture-based path has not only strengthened national confidence and identity, but also provided a new paradigm for modernization for the Global South. “With diverse cultural traditions, countries in the Global South can draw on their own beautiful cultures and their development to enrich modernization with unique values, avoid cultural rupture and loss of identity, and maintain cultural vitality and civilizational subjectivity in the process of modernization,” the report emphasizes. -0-
