China is taking a leading role in the crucial processes of globalization and multilateral development, ensuring all nations can advance collectively, said a Swedish expert.
Hussein Askary, vice president of the Belt and Road Institute in Sweden, made the comments in an exclusive interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN) after China held the third plenary session of the 20th Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee in Beijing from July 15 to 18.
The plenary session emphasized that amid complex international and domestic circumstances, a new round of scientific and technological revolutions, industrial transformations, and evolving public expectations, the CPC must consciously prioritize reform more prominently. This entails comprehensive deepening of reforms closely aligned with advancing Chinese modernization.
To support the achievement of this goal, a communique and a resolution on further deepening reform comprehensively to advance Chinese modernization was adopted at the session. According to Askary, the move indicates that China is willing to bring the recent success of its high-quality development model to the world.
"The communique mentions the fact that China will pursue the high-quality Belt and Road Initiative and cooperation through that. And this means that China's relationship to other countries in the Belt and Road, in the Global South will shift to a higher quality of development. For example, industrialization that China today will be exporting technology, know-how and capital for other nations. I have good examples from Africa, for example from its neighborhood where China is using its own leverage -- scientific, technological and high-quality development -- to other nations," the expert said.
"So, in a way that in this new multipolar world, China is becoming like what is called a 'primus inter pares,' the first among equals where China is leading a process of globalization and multilateral development where all nations can rise together," he added.
