Li Junru, former vice-president of the Party School of the CPC Central Committee, said that China's governance has shown developing countries that Western ideas for political systems are not the only way to achieve modernization, adding that the experiences that China can share with others include the socialist market economic system, the employment system, the inclusive social security system and poverty alleviation system.

"We created our way for modernization featuring Chinese characteristics, which led the nation to build a social system and governance different from the Western one," he said. "It can also be shared by other countries, especially the developing ones."

China's distinguishing governance that delivered shared welfare to people is also appreciated around the world.

"In Britain, we make the rather simplistic distinction between central and local government, but that serves unfortunately to push people's initiatives into a third sector or civil society seen as distinct from government," said Martin Albrow, a fellow of the British Academy of Social Sciences.

"Social governance in China is rooted in a centuries' old culture where government is integral to people's relationships with each other," he said. 

Jiri Paroubek, former prime minister of the Czech Republic, said that China's sociopolitical model is attractive to developing countries.

"The West has understood the Washington consensus to mean that any successful development of a state is possible only under the conditions that it accepts Western ideas of political systems - this has worked in Japan and South Korea - but for many developing countries, the Chinese model of economic development and social politics is, and surely will be, one worth following," he said.
