China Is Capable of Building an Ideal Type of Society

The four-decades long exchanges with Chinese scholars has provided me with a fresh perspective.Reading history makes me feel that the talents of the historical Chinese who created the country’s glorious ancient civilization are still being carried on today,and have become the foundation enabling China to build an ideal type of society.Indeed,China regards “becoming developed” as its ultimate goal and “reform and growth” as its guideline.The progress of artificial intelligence would not remove its own weakness of democracy.On the contrary,as the technology grows mature,it might steer development of socialism in a favourable direction.

中国有建设理想型社会的能力

前言2021年10月14-15日,中国社会科学院主办的主题为“中国式现代化新道路”首届“学术中国”国际高峰论坛在北京召开,我有幸作为外国研究者的代表之一通过在线方式作15分钟的发言。我事先将演讲的录像寄给了主办方,主办方似乎认为相比分学科演讲来说,这一录像更适合放到主旨演讲的部分,所以在14日中午的开幕式上,主办方发布了4位研究者的致辞录像,我的发言也在其中。
