China"s development has never been a "threat" to anyone but the source of growth advancing common development of all countries. What really creates "shocks" to the world has never been the innovation of Chinese companies and efficiency of Chinese industrial capacity, but protectionist moves of setting up barriers, decoupling and severing industrial and supply chains, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Friday.
The remarks were made when he was asked to comment on that recently, some Western media and think tanks are peddling "China Shock 2.0," saying that China is achieving fast development in high-tech sectors such as renewable energy and AI and relies on foreign markets to absorb its overcapacity, thus reducing the market share of developed countries and sending more serious shock waves to the global economy compared with the era of traditional manufacture industry.
Meanwhile, foreign commentators also said that China Shock 2.0 argument ignores the genuine innovation occurring within the Chinese industrial ecosystem and that Chinese export is the exact booster of the global economy that is needed in the turbulent period and more indispensable than ever.
Lin said that from the world"s factory to the world"s market and innovation powerhouse, China"s development is achieved through strong performance driven by innovation and brings tangible cooperation opportunities and space to the world.
