Alexander Lomanov, chief researcher at Russia's Primakov Institute of World Economy and International Relations, discussed the relevance of adapting Marxism to the Chinese context, highlighting how China's success derives from blending its unique culture with select Western influences. He pointed out that while the Global South can gain insights from China's journey, imitation isn't feasible. Lomanov also criticized rising Western exclusivity, asserting that true progress relies on renewed globalization for shared prosperity.
