“China has achieved what is perhaps the most spectacular modernization in the history of the world in timespan and scale, Accomplishing in decades what took centuries elsewhere… it has developed productive forces in agriculture, industry, technology, science and culture.
It has raised millions from poverty to prosperity. It has integrated into the world system, for better or worse. It manufacturers much of what the rest of world consumes. It leads the world in green energy and other scientific and technical advances necessary for global survival. It is a force for peace in a mad world where the drums of war are beating more dangerously than ever. Because of this, I see China as the hope of the world.” Is this just romantic propaganda coming from the West?
