Keith Bennett, vice chair of Britain's 48 Group Club and co-editor of Friends of Socialist China, has highlighted that the primary attraction of China's development model for the Global South lies in its proven success.

During an interview with CGTN at the International Forum of the Overseas Studies on Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, which opened in Beijing on Wednesday, Bennett said that more and more countries in the Global South are looking to learn from the Chinese experience and apply it, not copying it mechanically, but applying it to their own realities and their own people's sentiments.
