by Fatima Javed 
ISLAMABAD, Nov. 19 (Gwadar Pro) – China has achieved a lot in the past four decades (1980-2020), which took the western nations nearly four hundred years. The Chinese have been modest to acknowledge their own success, says Syed Hasan Javed, Director of Chinese Studies Center at National University of Science and Technology (NUST), Islamabad.  

 

Hasan Javed’s many books focus on China. In his recently published “China’s model of development, lessons for Pakistan”, he pointed out that the Chinese economic and development template offer a lot of useful lessons for the developing countries.     

 

Syed Hasan Javed is a retired ambassador and former Deputy head of Mission in Beijing. Hasan told Gwadar Pro that the book comprises a major portion of his lectures on “China’s development Experience” to achieve rapid modernization, prosperity and poverty alleviation.

For centuries Pakistan has been historically a bridge for China to connect with West Asia, Middle East and South Asia. With BRI and CPEC, Pak- China relationship has been elevated to a higher level. 

 

Dr. Ashfaque Hasan Khan Dean and Principal of school of social sciences and humanities NUST, says Javed’s book describes how China developed its hybrid socialist model of development, combining the socialist theory, Western management knowledge and Chinese cultural values.

 

China did in its own unique way, assimilating the global best practices. He also agreed with Ambassador’s Javed conclusion that “China learnt from the world, now it is the world’s turn to learn from China”.   

 

Pakistan being the closest friend of China must grab the opportunities, arising via CPEC. China on the other hand is very keen to help Pakistan transform its economy from a low to a high growth country on a sustained basis, Dr. Khan commented.
