"Economic and social development in China picked up since the country began implementing its reform and opening-up policy more than 40 years ago, and China has ever since achieved high growth rates. China has succeeded in achieving comprehensive development."

The expert said China has been seeking development partners abroad after achieving development success at home.

He said the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is the core of China's policy of seeking common development via economic cooperation and win-win partnerships.

"The results of BRI-related cooperation are positive despite the smear campaigns by countries led by the United States.
All countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative warmly welcome the China-proposed initiative, as it contributes to the development processes within these nations.
China's economic approach looks at the world from a different perspective. It does not strive to become 'a superpower,' but seeks global cooperation and joint development."
