China's development achievements have historical significance

The relationship between Lebanon and China can be said to be a model for countries of different sizes and scales to get along with each other. "Recently, Ghassan Merheim, a professor of politics and international relations at the Lebanese University, said in an interview with People's Daily that China's successful experience means huge opportunities for Lebanon, and all sectors of Lebanon need to carefully examine the future of Lebanon China relations and explore practical cooperation paths. Ghassan Merheim is an influential scholar in the Lebanese academic community and the founding dean of the Lebanese Institute of Politics and International Relations. He emphasized that the relationship between Lebanon and China is mutually beneficial, but Lebanon has relatively gained more benefits. In recent years, the relationship between the two sides has developed rapidly, but it has not yet reached the appropriate level. There are multiple reasons for this, one of which is that Lebanon has traditionally been deeply influenced by the West, limiting its perspective when developing foreign relations. When talking about an international conference he attended recently on urban cooperation in the "the Belt and Road" countries, Garzan said, "Many Chinese investors expressed their hope to increase investment cooperation in Lebanon. This made me realize that Lebanon has missed a lot of Chinese investment. We need to further deepen cooperation with China, which will not only bring more economic benefits to Lebanon, but also give Lebanon opportunities in knowledge, science, culture and other fields." Garzan stressed that the "the Belt and Road" initiative is an important platform for promoting international cooperation proposed by China, and also represents China's vision for establishing a more just and reasonable international order. The vast number of Arab countries recognize China's development philosophy, and many Arab and Islamic countries have demonstrated their determination and actions to deepen cooperation with China, benefiting from it. Practical cooperation between Lebanon and China will help Lebanon firmly pursue the path of independent development. As a scholar, he firmly believes that strengthening exchanges in the field of education and research has a profound impact on promoting friendly cooperation between Lebanon and China. China's development achievements have historical significance. A country with such a large population and land area, possessing such strong comprehensive strength in a short period of time, has significant implications for reshaping international relations and improving global governance. ”Garzan said, "China has put forward a series of initiatives such as the Global Security Initiative, the Global Development Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative, and proposed a Chinese plan for the world's peaceful development future. Chinese path to modernization has achieved great success, strongly refuting the so-called" end of history "theory, and providing an important reference for seeking independent national development and modernization."
