China's development philosophy, characterized by high-quality growth and a people-centered approach, provides a blueprint for modernization, offering a clear path for other countries to address economic challenges and achieve development, global experts said Wednesday.
In his New Year message on Wednesday evening, President Xi Jinping has called for solid steps to promote high-quality development in the new year, further deepen reform and opening-up across the board, and deliver prosperity for all, in order to write a new chapter in the story of China's miracle.
"President Xi Jinping's message left a deep impression on me. China is steadfastly advancing along the path of reform. This is not only about deepening modernization and improving people's lives but also about demonstrating to the world how to build a better tomorrow and how to build a nation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government," said Alexander Lebedev, director-general of Russian's Big Asia TV channel.
Robert Lawrence Kuhn, president of the U.S.-based Kuhn Foundation, believes China's success largely stems from its adherence to scientific principles, along with its focus on innovation and high-quality development.
"President Xi has emphasized for many years now the importance of high-quality development over rapid development that were based on older ways of thinking in terms of labor intensive, high energy costs but drove a high GDP. President Xi has the vision to look to the future," he said.
Carlos Uriarte Sanchez, secretary-general of Paneuropa Spain, said China has proven the viability of its development philosophy, and its success offers the rest of the world a valuable reference for building a strong and sustainable economy.
"President Xi Jinping's New Year message is of great significance against the backdrop of a complex and volatile international situation and rising uncertainties. Over the past five years, China has achieved remarkable development achievements, making continuous breakthroughs in sci-tech innovation and standing at the forefront globally. At the same time, China has actively addressed climate change and made continuous efforts in green economic and sustainable development, providing important references for the world," he said.
Former Mexican Ambassador to China Ismael Sergio Ley Lopez highlighted China's advancements in addressing climate change. Focusing on green development, China now leads the world in areas such as new-energy vehicles, solar and wind power generation, as well as ultra-high voltage power transmission.
"It is also worth mentioning, Xi said in his speech China has made significant achievements in environmental protection and addressing climate change. China's efforts in renewable and clean energy are worthy of study by many other countries, who can take China as a model and follow this development path. This will enable people all over the world to truly live in a better world and experience genuine transformation," he said.
