Some foreign scholars noted that China"s first-half economic growth underscores the country"s substantial contribution to the global economy and the opportunities it brings, which stands in sharp contrast to the "China Shock 2.0" narrative peddled by some Western media that portrays the country"s rise in high-tech sectors as a new wave of disruption to the world economy.

　　"China"s consistent focus on innovation, the integration of AI into everyday life, high-quality development, green transformation and greater openness will continue to provide strong positive momentum for the global economy," Khalid Taimur Akram, executive director of Pakistan Research Center for a Community with Shared Future, told the Global Times. He also stressed that China"s high-quality, competitively priced products have long been a key factor in making advanced technologies more accessible and easing the global inflationary pressure.

　　At a time when the global economy faces numerous uncertainties, China"s steadfast commitment to long-term development and international cooperation will continue to make a meaningful contribution to global economic stability and shared prosperity, he said.
