On December 20, the annual Global Times forum, titled "The World Can Trust China: New Path, New Opportunities," took place in Beijing. Forum participants discussed the role of a forward-looking state and the importance of its predictability for the global community.
Wu Xinbo, Dean of the Institute of International Studies at Fudan University, noted that China's development is a process of constant exploration. While this process has not been without challenges, China has demonstrated clarity of purpose and a high level of execution, allowing it to determine the development directions of future industries and trends in international cooperation, thereby earning increasing trust worldwide.
Wu Xinbo emphasized that this year, the international community has been particularly vocal in comparing China and the United States. During his conversations with American officials, he noted that their assessments of China primarily boil down to three aspects.
First, China has clear goals and directions for the next five years, strong executive capacity, and everything proposed can be achieved. In contrast, US policy often fluctuates due to changes in ruling parties, making it difficult to maintain continuity in long-term planning.
Second, successes in projects like DeepSeek have shown many Americans that China not only has manufacturing superiority, but is also capable of making technological breakthroughs and driving economic development through the large-scale commercial application of advanced technologies.
Third, in the area of new energy, many Americans, especially Democrats, believe that China is already at the forefront of global development, while the United States lags behind. They believe the energy sector is tied to a country's competitiveness and economic status. This is precisely why some Americans are concerned, and in some cases even envious, of China.
When comparing China and the United States, Wu Xinbo believes that many in American society not only find it difficult to judge the trend for the next five years, but they are even worried about the political, economic and social situation in the next three years.
Furthermore, since Trump's rise to power, some aspects of the US policy have become regressive, including a focus on unilateralism, the promotion of protectionist tariffs, and an increased emphasis on traditional energy. This has led many abroad to believe that the US is making a strategic mistake in choosing its national development path.
