Speaking on World Insight, four guests from different regions shared their opinions on the so-called "Chinese Model." When asked whether there is a "Chinese Model," Martin Jacques, a Senior Fellow at the Department of Politics and International Studies at Cambridge University, also the author of the book “When China Rules the World,” said yes.

“We can now talk in terms of a Chinese Model, not a model everyone should copy, but a model that offer possibilities and solutions, I think this is an extraordinary development, its worth remembering."

Fu Jun, the Academic Dean of the Institute of South-South Cooperation and Development, shared his comprehension of the "Chinese Model." He said, “there are two dimensions to the concept of 'Chinese Model', one is sort of the connection between global vision and local conditions.  We have opened up our system, this is the global vision, but the ideas we learn from the rest of the world.  We also combine the ideas with the local condition.  This is very important.  This is a combination of both theory and practice. There is another dimension to the 'Chinese Model,' if you see the two axes, one is the state, one is the market, and to be fair to the 'Chinese Model' is so far the state dimension continues to be permanent, relative to the market dimension."

He also said this model make sense to China because China is moving from a state-dominated system to a market-oriented system, the state still plays an important role and this is still important for developed countries.

Peter Kagwanja, the Chief Executive of the Africa Policy Institute and a former adviser to the Kenyan Government, gave his thought, " I think the highlight of the 'Chinese Model' to Africa is the development of peace, they emphasize the development must take place in the text of peace. I think that's a good idea."

Joel Rubin, the President of the Washington Strategy Group and a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, said, " the 'Chinese Model' for me is one of a self-confidence and of an engaging [engagement] in the world and a modern path. It is one that does offer help, but also there are also significant risks."
