BEIJING, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In an era marked by ecological challenges, development dilemmas and geopolitical dynamics are increasingly intertwined. Through a series of innovative practices, Chinese modernization offers a "green solution" to some of humanity's pressing questions of survival and development. Rooted in the wisdom of Chinese civilization and refined through Xi Jinping Thought on Ecological Civilization, this approach presents both a philosophical vision and a practical pathway toward sustainable development.
In this context, the Global Times (GT) launches the "China through a 'green' lens" series. It invites leading scholars and observers worldwide to decode the underlying logic behind China's green development and to better understand the global implications of China's green development philosophy.
In the fourth installment of the series, Zamir Ahmed Awan (Awan), the founding chair of Pakistani think tank Global Silk Route Research Alliance, told GT reporter Liu Xuandi that many countries in the Global South find the Chinese approach relatable, because it aligns with their development stage and practical needs, presenting an alternative development paradigm: greener, more balanced and better suited to the developing world.
