Chongqing's Path to Modernization: A Model for the World
On April 21, a notable event unfolded in Chongqing, emphasizing the city's role in China's modernization journey aligned with Xi Jinping's ideals. Themed 'Stories of the CPC: Achievements of Chongqing in Practicing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era,' this gathering attracted more than 200 participants, including political dignitaries from over 50 countries, diplomats stationed in China, and international business leaders.
At the center of the event were discussions surrounding Chongqing's transformative journey and how it encapsulates the essence of Chinese-style modernization. Various activities punctuated the briefing, including an Economic and Trade Promotion Meeting, a Themed Dialogue Session, and a visit to the Minzhucun community. These engagements were designed to showcase not only the economic prowess of Chongqing but also the burgeoning innovative spirit rooted in social governance and community development.
Six CPC members shared their personal narratives, shedding light on significant advancements in areas such as intelligent manufacturing, urban governance, and rural revitalization. Their stories painted a vivid picture of innovation and dedication, emphasizing how local initiatives contribute to the broader narrative of national development.
Among the stories shared, Lyu Sixiang, a dedicated train driver at the China Railway Chengdu Group, narrated his experiences, revealing the human side of modernization. His passion resonated with international guests like Anna Cordi from Germany, who expressed her admiration for the platform that allowed workers to share their experiences at such an influential event. Cordi emphasized the role of the China Railway Express in redefining global trade routes, linking China with Europe in unprecedented ways.
Julian Mordarski, the Editor-in-Chief of Poland's Dziennik Trybuna, highlighted how Chongqing serves as a living example of a smart city. By showcasing effective urban systems and technological integration, he expressed interest in future collaborations that could help Poland develop similar smart city efficiencies. His observations underscored the event's capacity to foster international dialogue and exchange of ideas grounded in practical experience.
In addition to personal stories, the event featured insights from experts. John Ross, who serves as the Director of Economic and Business Policy for London's Mayor and is a Senior Fellow at the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies in Renmin University, provided a comparative analysis of Chongqing and major world cities like London. He pointed out the stark contrasts, particularly in transportation systems and educational outreach, suggesting that while cities like London and New York thrive as financial hubs, Chongqing is carving out its identity as a global manufacturing powerhouse. Ross also emphasized the opportunity Chongqing has to enhance its international reach, suggesting that effective marketing should leverage the city's intrinsic strengths instead of a generalized approach.
The event exemplified the blend of political wisdom and grassroots innovation that defines Chongqing's modernization strategies. Participants left with a newfound appreciation for how local stories contribute to a global narrative of development.
