The European magazine “Modern Diplomacy” recently published a commentary article titled “China 2025: Driving Global Economic Growth, Innovation and Sustainable Development”. The article focuses on China’s economic performance in 2024, is optimistic about China’s development prospects in 2025, and points out that China’s development momentum will have a profound impact on the world’s economic, technological and ecological landscape, creating opportunities for common development for the world.
The article points out that China’s economy will recover strongly in 2024, with its GDP expected to exceed 130 trillion yuan. This growth momentum not only consolidates China’s position as a global economic stabilizer, but also demonstrates the resilience and strong adaptability of the Chinese economy. China’s economic achievements are of great significance to countries that have close ties with China in the fields of investment and trade. China’s development path from traditional industry-driven to innovative industry-driven provides a model for economies around the world seeking sustainable development. China has adopted a proactive policy to effectively respond to the dual challenges caused by internal economic structural adjustment and external environmental uncertainty. This approach has not only boosted the confidence of global investors, but also further magnified China’s key role in stabilizing the global economy in the current turbulent times.
The article believes that China’s progress in technology is expected to reshape the global innovation landscape. “China’s breakthroughs in cutting-edge fields such as artificial intelligence, integrated circuits and quantum communications show that it is transforming from a technology user to a global innovation leader.” China’s self-reliance in key technology fields has dual significance. From a domestic perspective, China is able to resist the threat of geopolitical tensions to the supply chain; from an international perspective, China has promoted the expansion of the global innovation frontier. The article gives an example that China’s production and sales of new energy vehicles will exceed 10 million in 2024, fully demonstrating China’s ability to rapidly expand the scale of advanced technology production and its potential to accelerate the world’s process of getting rid of fossil fuels. At the same time, by setting a benchmark in the field of green transportation, China helps to formulate global new energy technology standards and promote healthy global technology competition.
When it comes to sustainable development, the article emphasizes that China’s commitment to ecological protection is clearly reflected in its booming new energy industry, which has a transformative impact on global sustainable development. The article states that China’s leadership in promoting the development and application of green technologies has significantly enhanced its constructive role in addressing climate change. China’s success in coordinating economic growth and sustainable development goals shows that this model may also apply to other emerging economies. As countries struggle to cope with the dual missions of development and decarbonization, China undoubtedly provides a path for implementing an economic development strategy that takes into account the ecological environment.
The article also mentioned that although China has made a series of impressive development achievements, there are still challenges on the road ahead. At present, China is facing the pressure caused by the uncertainty of the global environment and the complexity of economic transformation and upgrading. Overcoming related obstacles requires not only domestic policy support but also international cooperation. For the world, China’s experience and lessons in coping with challenges are of great reference value.
The article ends with an optimistic outlook for China’s economic growth and innovative development in 2025, and predicts that China’s achievements will have a chain reaction around the world. “Promoting world economic growth, technological innovation and sustainable development is not only China’s vision, but also a global priority.” The article calls on the international community to strengthen cooperation with China and work together to build a common future, saying “this is both an opportunity and a responsibility.”
