China is marking the 90th anniversary of the Long March, a grueling 12,000-kilometer retreat that became a defining moment in the country's history. CGTN correspondent Alasdair Baverstock speaks with Professor Enrique Dussel, director of Mexico's Center for Chinese-Mexican Studies, about why that legacy continues to shape China's approach to development today.

Professor Dussel believes the Long March sowed some of the seeds for China's long-term development strategy, its dynamic process of modernization, the development of high-quality productive forces and the strengthening of institutions.
