BEIJING: Nearly 96 percent of respondents to a recent global survey on China’s development were impressed by the Asian country’s achievements over the past decade.
Nearly 60 percent of the respondents were mostly impressed by China’s “economic development” and “progress in science and technology” in recent years, according to the survey conducted by Xinhua News Agency, with the participation of 1,200 respondents from over 60 countries, most of whom were academics and professionals of politics, social science and business.
A total of 83.1 percent believe that the vitality and potential of the Chinese economy will be a continued source of confidence and strength for the world economy, showed the survey results.
“China’s path to modernization,” “Global Development Initiatives,” “Human community with a shared future” and “Humanity’s shared values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom” are among the many concepts and initiatives that China promotes in both state governance and global interactions that the respondents would like to know more about, according to the survey. Meanwhile, respondents are mostly attracted by such keywords as “Higher-standard open economy,” “Digital China (initiative),” “Smart cities” and “Rural revitalization,” which China has highlighted in its development blueprint.
Eduardo Roldan, former Consul General of Mexico in Hong Kong of China, agreed with the results, particularly the part on China’s achievement over the last decade. He said that he was amazed by the artificial intelligence projects run by Chinese universities during his last visit in 2019.
