Although geopolitical changes triggered by political incidents such as the USSR＇s disintegration have played a significant role, the geographical shift of world industrialization has first and foremost been caused by the tipping of the balance of international economic and industrial development. China＇s rise has become a massive engine driving this Eastward transition. Due to its impressive rapidity, China＇s industrialization is often referred to as ＂compressed industrialization ＂： completion of a long journey in a very short period of time. Chinese industrialization also features many distinctive characteristics that contrast with those of many other countries. Currently, China is in a critical stage of industrial development, moving towards world-class advanced manufacturing. Industrialization is a historic period of economic and social restructuring that is often accompanied by various structural imbalances. It is essentially a process of civilization＇s progress. China＇s industrialization is in many ways consistent with Western industrial and technological development, but remains subject to the profound influence of Chinese civilization. China＇s industrialization features unique differences that are deeply rooted in its institutional systems. After 30years of brilliant achievements, reform of China＇s economic andpolitical systems has once again come into the spotlight of public attention.展开更多

The core Asian Model is pragmatic adoption of best international practices regardless of origin, organized around the central less of Asian successes and gives priority to economic growth at the expense of geopolitical, political and ideological goals. Given the economic imperative, the model establishes priority rankings： agriculture first, then light industry, heavy industry, domestic politics, and international politics. The Asian Model＇s economic strategy includes critical components： international opening; domestic economic marketization; rapid incrementalism rather than shock therapy in pursuing those goals; and competition. In all the Asian miracles including China, successfill economic reform has been accompanied by parallel incremental political reforms. In addition to emulating the Asian model, China has added distinctive strategies, including most notably the use of a ＂ One, Two＂ approach -- one country, two systems; one sector, two systems; one company, two systems; and so forth. China has refined the art of managing a country on an efficient business organizational model, and of using ＂social globalization＂ to expose its government, business and student elites to best practices all over the world.展开更多

Moscow has effectively sacrificed the goals of modernization and development for the sake of geopolitical ambitions. The question about the price of Russia＇s revisionist enterprise is relevant for many states that are not satisfied with the unfair and often discriminating rules of the world order, first of all China. Russia hopes to inspire other states dissatisfied with the ＂unipolar＂ world order to challenge the West more boldly, but the result of its assault on the prin- ciples of nonintervention and territorial integrity might work in the opposite way. The states of East Asia could take a good measure of the risk inherent to embarking on the course of projecting power at the expense of modernization and become even more committed than before to upholding their unique prosperity-producing peace. China has a vested interest in Russian internal stability and must be worried by the prospect of a post-Putin crisis.展开更多
