International scholars gathered in Beijing this week to discuss the global impact of China's governance strategies at the International Forum of Overseas Studies on Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. The November 13 event saw experts from Africa, Europe, and Latin America analyze China's approach to development, security, and cross-cultural cooperation.
Participants emphasized the relevance of China's Global Development Initiative and Global Security Initiative in addressing contemporary challenges. A researcher from Kenya noted: 'The people-centered governance model demonstrates how systemic planning can align with sustainable growth objectives.' European analysts highlighted the Global Civilization Initiative's role in fostering intercultural dialogue.
Discussions particularly focused on China's emphasis on shared growth and respect for national sovereignty in international relations. Latin American delegates pointed to increasing South-South cooperation under these frameworks as evidence of their practical application.
