The development mode of each country can and should be unique

Klaus Roland, World Bank country director for China, has said that “there is no single development model that works anywhere and everywhere.”

In my opinion, the so-called development model here should be the road to Global Civilization and even Great Civilization based on sustainable development. Although human beings can establish this common goal, due to different conditions, the journey for each country certainly cannot be the same. In particular, before the realization of the Great Civilization, the current form of government and political parties in a given country will inevitably affect their development model. Moreover, the governance models of different countries and regions supported by different ideologies are also diverse. Therefore, every country can only create and determine its own development model according to its history, culture, and level of development. To offer an analogy, if all the countries on Earth each sent a team to climb to the top of Mount Qomolangma (i.e., Mt. Everest) starting from home, each team would have to take a different route because of their different starting points, and would also encounter different geographical, traffic, and climatic conditions. Add to this the different levels of physical strength and ability of each team member, and it is clear that for each country the way and the time required to reach the summit will be different.

However, although this truth is quite simple, modern people often find it difficult to understand or tolerate different development modes. This often makes these differences the root cause of conflicts, and even of wars.

Of course, a successful path towards development needs to constantly sum up experience and lessons, and can only become a model (including institutions) to others after multiple amendments and improvements. But, first of all, it needs to be running well in its country of origin, where people feel happy, satisfied and proud, then it will naturally attract people in other countries who long to imitate its success. In other words, it will become a model and be gradually popularized. Thus, the first measure of success is whether a country’s survival and development mode come to be recognized as successful by the majority of its own citizens. With this in mind, all countries should first work to improve themselves and only then begin to concern themselves with how to help improve conditions elsewhere.

It is worth emphasizing that although the transformation of civilization is global, which helps all humanity (for just as Frederick Engels said, “the Communist revolution will be more than a revolution of one country”), different development models are needed. It will be necessary for pioneers of different development modes to create demonstration projects or prototypes (in which democracy has its own model in different countries) to promote mutual learning, through reference to various models, each of which rethinks their own social system, in order to carry out the institutional reform with the times. But these “forerunner” countries should never try to impose a “unified version” based on their
