China\u2019s expanding global influence has become increasingly evident through its economic growth, development initiatives and contribution to international stability, experts say.<\/p>\n
According to China Daily<\/em>, China\u2019s modernisation has not only transformed its own fortunes but also provided valuable lessons for developing nations pursuing their own paths to progress.<\/p>\n The observations come as the Communist Party of China (CPC) marks its 105th anniversary, a milestone that has prompted renewed reflection on the Party\u2019s role in shaping modern China through resilience, innovation and long-term leadership.<\/p>\n Analysists say the country\u2019s remarkable rise has been driven by the CPC\u2019s stewardship over the past century, turning a nation once weighed down by poverty and instability into one of the world\u2019s leading economic powers.<\/p>\n The Party was founded in 1921 at a time when China was grappling with foreign aggression, widespread poverty and unsuccessful attempts to reverse national decline. From its inception, the CPC declared its mission as securing the wellbeing of the Chinese people and achieving the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.<\/p>\n More than a century later, China has emerged as the world\u2019s second-largest economy. It has recorded major advances in science and technology, dramatically improved living standards for its population and established itself as an important anchor of stability and certainty during a period of increasing global turbulence.<\/p>\n Michael Borchmann, former head of the European and International Affairs Department of the German state of Hesse, said the CPC\u2019s consistent commitment to a people-centred development philosophy has been central to China\u2019s achievements.<\/p>\n \u201cA defining feature of this transformation has been that the Chinese people took their destiny back into their own hands. They cast off foreign humiliation and oppression, successfully lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty, and regained their national confidence,\u201d Borchmann said.<\/p>\n He added that China\u2019s development experience provides valuable insights for Africa and other countries across the Global South.<\/p>\n \u201cChina offers lessons and inspiration to Africa and the Global South. Its growth is an inspiration for Africa,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Peter Kagwanja, president and chief executive officer of the Africa Policy Institute, a Nairobi-based think tank, said China\u2019s economic rise ranks among the most remarkable development stories of the modern era.<\/p>\n According to Kagwanja, the country has progressed from being one of the world\u2019s poorest developing nations in the 1980s to becoming the world\u2019s second-largest economy.<\/p>\n He said China has further strengthened its international standing through the Belt and Road Initiative and four major global proposals: the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilisation Initiative and the Global Governance Initiative.<\/p>\n \u201cThrough its Belt and Road Initiative as well as its four global initiatives\u2026 China has amassed immense global influence, becoming a major player in international trade and diplomacy,\u201d Kagwanja said.<\/p>\n He believes Africa can draw confidence from China\u2019s development journey.<\/p>\n \u201cChina offers lessons and inspiration to Africa and the Global South. Its growth is an inspiration for Africa. Poverty is not a curse for any civilisation. Africa can also rise and lift its people out of poverty,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n For Mafa Kwanisai Mafa, a Zimbabwean Pan-Africanist researcher and political commentator, the CPC\u2019s 105-year history demonstrates the importance of disciplined leadership, institutional capacity, accountability and continuous reform in building an effective state.<\/p>\n \u201cAs nations of the Global South carve out their own sovereign paths to modernisation, the CPC\u2019s century of self-improvement and decades of governance practice will remain an indispensable touchstone for scholarly inquiry, high-level policy deliberation and thoughtful localised adaptation for generations to come,\u201d Mafa said.<\/p>\n The post As China\u2019s economy grows, so does its global reach<\/a> appeared first on KBC Digital<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" China\u2019s expanding global influence has become increasingly evident through its economic growth, development initiatives and contribution to international stability, experts say.
