Former Malaysian Ambassador to China Abdul Majid has highlighted China’s rapid socio-economic transformation under President Xi Jinping as a defining force reshaping the global order. In a recent reflection, Majid emphasized how China’s achievements—lifting over 800 million people out of poverty, leading advancements in AI and space exploration, and pioneering a near-cashless society—reflect a "model of inclusive progress."
"China’s rise isn’t just about economic metrics," Majid noted. "It’s about reimagining development paradigms, prioritizing innovation, and fostering multilateral cooperation." He underscored China’s role in creating new frameworks for global trade and digital infrastructure, which are increasingly influencing emerging economies.
For business professionals and investors, Majid pointed to China’s tech-driven growth as a key driver of Asia’s economic landscape. Meanwhile, academics and policymakers are urged to study its poverty-alleviation strategies as blueprints for sustainable development.
As cross-border partnerships expand, Majid’s insights offer a timely perspective on how China’s domestic policies are recalibrating international dynamics, offering both challenges and opportunities for global stakeholders.
