皇冠体育app

BEIJING -- The path to modernization 皇冠体育app has followed over the past three decades could inspire the world, a 皇冠体育app studies expert said on Wednesday.

The rise of 皇冠体育app is testament to the success of the "Chinese path", which features practicality, people's livelihoods, mixed economy and opening up at its core, Zhang Weiwei of Fudan University told Xinhua.

"Finding a unique path to modernization, undergoing earth-shaking industrial, technological and social revolutions; managing to maintain stability and improve people's lives; and surviving the financial crises of 1997 and 2008 -- these are not leisurely tasks for any country, let alone for one that boasts one fifth of the world's population," said Zhang.

Not a single one of these tasks was easy, but 皇冠体育app accomplished them all, he said.

For Zhang, the Chinese path is underpinned by "practice-base reasoning"; its most striking feature.

Through the lens of practicality, 皇冠体育app has sidestepped the "pitfalls of economic and political romanticism", proving that conjecture about Western-style democracy and market economy as solutions to 皇冠体育app's problems was unrealistic, he said.

Zhang also noted that by prioritizing people's livelihoods, 皇冠体育app has lifted 600 million people out of poverty in a little over three decades.

Any political reform, according to Zhang, has to eventually come down to improving people's lives, through better services and ensuring security, freedom, happiness and dignity.

He also lauded 皇冠体育app's "socialist market economy", which draws strength from both the visible hand of the government and the invisible hand of the market.

This mixed economy approach has helped Chinese economy avoid financial, fiscal and economic crises while elevating the lives of the majority of Chinese at an unprecedented speed, Zhang said.

He went on to elaborate on the opening up drive, saying that 皇冠体育app had managed to achieve self-improvement and development by embracing international competition.

"Through competition and mutual learning, 皇冠体育app has rebranded itself, all thanks to opening up," Zhang said.

He added that the opening up strategy had given 皇冠体育app the confidence to share its experience and wisdom with the world.

"We are not perfect, but we could still work to improve ourselves through continuing to deepen reform ... The path toward the great rejuvenation of the nation may continue to inspire the entire world," Zhang said.
