Experience the vivid practice of Chinese path to modernization
2026-01-08
Modernization is a universal pursuit of countries around the world. From poverty alleviation to green development, from technological innovation to the development of new quality productive forces and the exploration of new economic growth points, China provides opportunities for the development of other countries while promoting its own high-quality development. Many foreign media reporters come to work, live or visit China to experience the vivid practice of Chinese path to modernization. Recently, three foreign media reporters were interviewed by our reporter, sharing their experiences and feelings in China. Fernando Morales, a Spanish journalist - "Here, we always insist that everything is for the people and everything depends on the people" At the Panorama Cinema of the CPC History Exhibition Hall in Beijing, Fernando Morales, a journalist of the Spanish "Global World", was deeply shocked by the immersive film showing the scene of the Long March. I feel like I am immersed in this great historical process, "Morales said." China has never forgotten where it came from. Here, we always adhere to the principle of everything for the people and everything relying on the people. "In the past year, Morales visited cities such as Beijing, Hangzhou, and Chongqing. In Beijing, a new energy vehicle from BYD Experience Store not only has automatic parking and turning in place, but also has emergency floating function; In Hangzhou, the latest achievements of artificial intelligence in science and technology parks have moved from laboratories to daily applications; In Chongqing, the Hongya Cave built along the mountain shines brightly with neon lights at night... Morales said, "Any scene posted on social media will become a hot topic, but for Chinese people, it is a daily life." Morales believes that long-term institutional design and efficient implementation make China's development sustainable and holistic. When promoting the implementation of a policy, the Chinese government first considers whether the people need it and whether it benefits future generations. When he visited Xinjiang with the delegation in June 2025, he learned that a local county had built a 160 kilometer long drinking water pipeline in 2009, which solved the drinking water problem for hundreds of thousands of people in less than a year. Through top-level design and long-term planning, China's development is not limited to a certain city or region, but touches every corner, "said Morales. In August 2025, Morales attended a training course for Spanish media professionals in Beijing. Morales learned that in addition to convenient and developed public transportation, the Chinese government also encourages people to purchase new energy vehicles through policies. I have seen the government's genuine efforts in improving air quality, "Morales said. Environmental issues concern all humanity, and China's actions not only improve its own environment, but also benefit the world. Morales stated that China is an "open and sincere partner for cooperation". China's development experience is not only its own, but also provides reference for other countries in the global South. "The biggest enlightenment of Chinese path to modernization is to let the fruits of development benefit the people and share opportunities with the world. This is real prosperity," Morales said. Brazilian journalist Rafael Enrique Zerberto - "Scientific governance that combines theory and practice turns the impossible into reality." In China for more than 10 years, Brazilian journalist Rafael Enrique Zerberto has visited many places and praised China's "systematic planning": policies are interrelated, breakthroughs in various fields are driving overall progress. He believes that Chinese path to modernization is not only a development path belonging to China, but also a mirror, reflecting the development choices of countries in the global South, providing rich enlightenment for other countries, "scientific governance combining theory and practice, turning the impossible into reality". In Inner Mongolia, Zerberto witnessed afforestation blocking the progress of the desert, and abandoned coal mines transforming into ecological parks. There is a viewpoint in American culture that economic interests cannot override environmental protection, because without the environment, life cannot survive. This is similar to China's concept that green mountains and clear waters are as valuable as mountains of gold and silver. Zerberto believes that China's ecological governance achievements not only bring benefits to its own people, but also provide important reference for other countries in the global South. "China's development experience shows that only by taking the path of green development can we embrace the true future. Zerberto has visited rural China multiple times to interview and report on poverty alleviation and comprehensive rural revitalization. In the tea producing area of Xianfeng County, Hubei Province, the picturesque tea trees and scenery of the mountains attract tourists and promote the revitalization of the local industry. He wrote in the report, "People here used to have difficulty even eating enough, but now they can consume and entertain at night. This transformation is more touching than data." Zerberto believes that the transformation of Xianfeng County proves that the poverty alleviation path based on local economic development is sustainable. What impressed Zerberto even more was China's exploration in the digital economy and technological empowerment. He noticed that e-commerce has opened up sales channels for agricultural products, and the combination of rural tourism and cultural creativity has led to more and more young people returning to their hometowns. In China, poverty alleviation is not only about increasing income, but also about strengthening guarantees for education, healthcare, and housing, "said Zerberto. The Chinese government emphasizes" two assurances and three guarantees "and insists that poverty-stricken individuals will not return to poverty. The Chinese government also focuses on "spiritual poverty alleviation", allowing the masses to gain confidence through hard work and truly master the key to changing their destiny. Lesotho journalist Motaba Chuniane said, "China uses its own experience to assist African countries in their modernization process." During my visit to China, I deeply admire the achievements of local areas in agricultural modernization, green industries, intelligent manufacturing, and other fields. At the same time, I also hope to introduce these advanced development experiences to Lesotho. ”Motaba Cunyani, a reporter from Lesotho National News Agency, said in an interview with our reporter. From August to December 2024, Chuniane and nearly a hundred journalists from over 80 countries came to China to conduct in-depth interviews and reports in fields, factories, and workshops. The experience of investigating the ice and snow economy in Jilin, investigating photovoltaic desertification control in Ningxia, and participating in the Beijing summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation of the Forum on China Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) left a deep impression on Chuniane. She said that this trip deepened her understanding of China and gave her more thoughts on the path of modernization. Chuniane said, for example, that in the Tengger Desert, the local people use solar energy resources to develop photovoltaic industry, and also pave grass squares under photovoltaic panels to achieve wind prevention, sand fixation and vegetation restoration. The combination of new energy development and ecological governance is very enlightening. In Jilin, the local government has utilized ice and snow resources to develop tourism and create new economic growth points. Lesotho is one of the few countries in southern Africa with snowfall and ski resorts. She hopes to tell the story of China's development of the ice and snow industry to Lesotho readers through her own reporting. Visiting the China Academy of Agricultural Mechanization Science located in Beijing, Chuniannei gained a firsthand understanding of China's advanced agricultural development technology and modern agricultural machinery and equipment. Improving agricultural efficiency and achieving agricultural modernization are important development directions for Lesotho, and there is broad cooperation space between Lesotho and China in areas such as agricultural mechanization and agricultural technology exchange. She introduced that in April 2025, the Confucius Institute for Agricultural Technology at the National University of Lesotho will be officially unveiled, providing Chinese education while combining local characteristics to carry out agricultural technology training. She said, "China has always been able to accurately grasp the development needs of African countries and provide targeted assistance to them." "China continues to cultivate new business models, shape new scenarios, and stimulate new services. Digital payment and e-commerce platforms bring more convenient life, the ice and snow economy promotes the development of characteristic tourism, the popularity of electric vehicles enables people to live a greener life, and the rapid development of artificial intelligence improves production efficiency... Chinese path to modernization is reflected in all aspects, so that everyone can benefit from it. ”Churniane said, "What is more impressive is that China has used its own experience to help African countries in their modernization process, provided broad markets for African products through various measures, and has also actively carried out cooperation in industrialization, agricultural modernization, talent training and other fields. In my opinion, this is the unique charm of Chinese path to modernization." (La News Agency)
