You’ve heard of the American Dream, but what is the modern Chinese Dream?
Wu Jianmin, president of the China Foreign Affairs University, says:
“the Chinese Dream aims to create equal opportunities for people from all walks of life. . . . Wu said that the Chinese Dream has three distinctive characteristics. The first is the unprecedented scale “of a vast nation with a population of 1.3 billion rushing forward at such dazzling speed.” The second is its wide scope, which covers all aspects of society, the economy, politics and technology. The third is that China shares its dream with the world. “The Chinese Dream belongs to both China and the world and that is to build a harmonious world in which China shares its development and opportunities with the whole world,” he said.
It seems China’s soundbites are evolving to be as comfortingly vacuous as Western politicians!
In 2004, China attracted FDI of US$526 billion, six and 10 times that of Japan and the ROK. “Though China opened up its economy much later than them, it is now much more open than them,” he said.
Yeah, go go China!
