As nations grapple with unprecedented global challenges in 2025, international attention turns to China's evolving governance framework as a potential blueprint for collaborative development. A recent Beijing forum organized by CGTN brought together leading scholars to analyze how Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is influencing worldwide approaches to shared crises.
Panelists emphasized China's growing role in fostering multilateral solutions through platforms like the Belt and Road Initiative and Global Development Initiative. 'What makes China's approach unique is its emphasis on mutual benefit rather than zero-sum competition,' noted Dr. Li Wei, a political economist at Peking University. The discussion highlighted increased international interest in studying Chinese governance models, particularly in balancing economic growth with social stability.
Key themes included the importance of civilizational dialogue in addressing climate change and technological disruption. South African scholar Thandiwe Mbeki observed: '2025 marks a turning point where Global South nations are actively engaging with Chinese development paradigms while maintaining cultural specificity.'
The forum concluded with consensus on the need for adaptable governance systems that combine local wisdom with international cooperation. As cross-border challenges intensify, China's emphasis on 'building a community with a shared future for mankind' continues gaining traction in global policy discussions.
