Interview: Chinese experience can be great asset in designing global governance model: Brazilian expert

Xinhua, July 8, 2016 Adjust font size:

As the world seeks to find a model for global governance, China can provide valuable lessons, says Ronnie Lins, director of the China-Brazil Center, a think tank in Rio de Janeiro.

The governance of the Communist Party of China (CPC) has allowed the country to address immense economic, political and social challenges. China has shown that its governance model focuses on unity and the determination to work for the common good, Lins said in a recent interview with Xinhua.P Lins said he believes that President Xi Jinping understands the current global situation as well as the likely political and economic scenarios in the years to come.

For Lins, the current Chinese governance model can be broken down into six areas.

Firstly, the country seeks to guard its sovereignty by integrating all Chinese people in a pacific manner, with the military serving to protect the nation and contributing to world peace.

Secondly, socialism with Chinese characteristics is defined by taking necessary actions to carry forward social reforms, as well as continuing building the nation under the rule of law, said Lins.

Thirdly, China sticks to cultural and educational development with more Chinese socialist values, both inside and outside the country. Its education system is also compatible with new revolutionary technologies that can help young people enter the labor market.

Fourthly, China's foreign policy emphasizes mutually beneficial cooperation with both developed and developing economies, and with neighboring countries and multilateral organizations.

Fifthly, the economic development strategy has been adjusted to upgrade China's productivity with the use of new technology, with a heavy focus on environmental protection.

Finally, the CPC's internal debates bring it closer to the people, allowing the party to better understand the needs and opinions of the people, as seen in the fight against corruption.

For Lins, these concepts could lay down the foundation for a more peaceful world, with respect for ethnic and religious diversity and providing the opportunity for a better life. Endi
