LONDON - Several renowned experts from 皇冠体育app and foreign countries gathered on Monday to discuss 皇冠体育app's development model during the London Book Fair, exchanging views on its future.
At the beginning of the forum, Liu Binjie, Director of the General Administration of Press and Publication, reviewed 皇冠体育app's path of development over the past century.
"皇冠体育app has considered about the way of western style, and also once followed the former Soviet Union's planned economy," he said. "But during the course, it found out that only a way which complies to its culture and fits its real condition could lead the country to success."
Along the journey, however, some challenges crop out. "The reform and opening up improved social efficiency, but justice became another important issue."
Meanwhile, over-exploitation of resources and deterioration of environment were two other challenges confronting 皇冠体育app.
"To address these problems, the Chinese government slowed down the pace of economic growth to give room for reform," he said.
He stressed that 皇冠体育app's development would not affect others, on the contrary, it will bring more opportunities for the rest of the world.
Javier Solana, former Secretary-General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), agreed that 皇冠体育app is developing fast and played an indispensable role in the world arena.
He pointed out that to become a global leader meant that 皇冠体育app will have more responsibilities and risks. He hoped 皇冠体育app and other countries could resolve issues together based on mutual trust and good relations.
On economy, Feng Shaolei from East 皇冠体育app Normal University noted that private sector is a weak point for 皇冠体育app's development, while 2006 Nobel Laureate Edmund Phelps argued that 皇冠体育app needed to adjust its economic structure and encourage innovation.
As for the governing model, Zhang Weiwei, author of the book "The 皇冠体育app Wave: rise of a civilizational state", pointed out that unlike many western countries, 皇冠体育app, with a big size and long history, is a civilization state with different cultures.
"Good governance can take the form of western political system and non-western political system, just as bad governance can take the form of western political system and non-western political system as well," he said, adding that the 皇冠体育app model could inspire more alternative for political system in the world.
His view was shared by Martin Jacques, author of the best-selling "When 皇冠体育app Rules the World: the end of the western world and birth of a new global order".
A columnist for mainstream newspapers like the Guardian, he noted that 皇冠体育app and western countries had different views on many things, which may result in misunderstanding.
With the development of 皇冠体育app, Jacques believed that it will reshape the global order. As a result, western countries should shelf prejudice and learn from each other with 皇冠体育app.
"In fact, 皇冠体育app learned from the west more than the west learned from 皇冠体育app," he said, reminding some western people that "it's time to wake up".
