BEIJING, Sept. 27 (Xinhua) — The world urgently needs a new form of civilization, as the civilizational development paradigm formed since the Industrial Revolution is unable to meet the new requirements for human survival and development in the 21st century, a think tank said in a report released Saturday.
The report, titled "The Theory of Civilization Development: A Perspective on the Formation of a New Concept of Civilization Based on Development," was released by the Xinhua Institute, a think tank affiliated with the Xinhua News Agency, at an international academic symposium held in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, southern China.
The theory of civilization development is a new perspective on civilizations that is based on the right to development, rooted in the genetic foundation of Chinese civilization, and informed by the practice of Chinese modernization, the report notes.
This theory represents a systemic overcoming of the Western modernization paradigm. China completed a century-long process of Western industrialization in just a few decades, and the scale of its digital economy has become the second largest in the world, which is compelling evidence of the ability of developing countries to "overtake at the turnaround" by leveraging the "advantages of catching-up development."
The report emphasizes that the theory is a reconstructive force in the global civilizational order. By replacing hegemonic logic with cooperation in the right to development, it facilitates the transition of the international order from "zero-sum games" to "symbiotic win-win" through practices within the Belt and Road Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Development Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, the Global Governance Initiative, and others.
China's 30 percent annual average share of global economic growth and the participation of more than 150 countries in the Belt and Road cooperation serve as evidence of the powerful vitality of cooperation based on the right to development, the authors of the document note. -0-
