How did one nation lift over 800 million people out of poverty, surge ahead in artificial intelligence and space exploration, and build a near-cashless society in just a few decades? Former Malaysian Ambassador to China, Abdul Majid, sheds light on China’s remarkable transformation under President Xi Jinping’s leadership.
A Leap Forward
Speaking at a recent forum, Abdul Majid highlighted how China’s rapid development has not only reshaped its own destiny but is also influencing the global landscape. “China’s rise is unprecedented in modern history,” he said. “The speed and scale at which it has modernized is something the world has never seen before.”
Technological Advances
China’s advancements in technology have been particularly noteworthy. The country has become a leader in artificial intelligence, investing heavily in research and development. Its achievements in space exploration, including landing on the far side of the moon, have positioned China as a formidable player in the space race.
Economic Transformation
Abdul Majid pointed out that China’s economic policies have lifted millions out of poverty. “The government’s focus on sustainable development and innovation has transformed the livelihoods of its people,” he noted. The shift towards a digital economy has also led to a near-cashless society, with mobile payments becoming the norm.
Global Impact
According to the former ambassador, China’s development is redefining the global order. “China is not just shaping its own future but is offering a new model for development for the rest of the world,” he said. “Its initiatives like the Belt and Road are enhancing connectivity and economic integration across continents.”
Looking Ahead
As China continues to evolve, Abdul Majid believes that understanding its trajectory is crucial for other nations. “Engaging with China offers lessons in development, technology, and governance,” he concluded.
