HANGZHOU, Nov. 20-- In just decades, China has lept to the world's second-largest economy with long-term social stability, a manifestation of the effectiveness and success of the country's governance system. In the economic field and beyond, China's unique governance system has shown strong vitality and huge strength. China can continuously improve itself and also learn from others and is attracting more people from the international community to analyze its global significance. A forum held in eastern China's Zhejiang Province offers an opportunity for foreign experts to communicate with their Chinese counterparts as they observed grassroots reality to gain better understanding of China's governance system. Many are deeply impressed with China's coordinated development of economy, society and environment as well as the improved administrative efficiency. The effective and successful governance system has global significance in terms of institutional designs and governance experience. The world's largest developing country can truly offer wisdom to the governance of the world in many aspects, ranging from politics, economy and culture to science, education, public health, environment and poverty reduction. China did not copy the Western governance system, but established its own based on its national conditions. Each country has the right to choose its own political system and development path. The Western path is not the only answer. Many developing countries with similar backgrounds as China can draw on the experience in their pursuit of prosperity. |
