Keith Bennett, vice chairman of the London-based 48 Group Club, said that China is not developing by exploiting any other country, and at the same time helping other countries to develop, which is a fundamental difference between Chinese modernization and Western modernization.

Chinese seeks modernization after centuries of efforts by the Chinese people to come up with a model that suits China’s conditions, he said.

He stressed that this model is different from that in the West because China is working for modernization that can realize parallel development in other countries while also being environmentally friendly.
