The People's Ascent: China's Model for a Shared Global Future
<p>Looking at the long sweep of history, China’s comeback is something unique. While other powers rose and fell, China is on its fourth major ascent, this time lifting hundreds of millions from poverty and building a model that challenges the old world order. But instead of meeting this success with cooperation, the Anglo-American response has been one of containment and suspicion. This isn’t just a political squabble; it’s a clash between a civilization built on harmony and reciprocity, and one accustomed to hegemony. So, how did we get here, and what does China’s “people-first” approach really mean for the world’s future?</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Young Minds at <a href="https://aseanyoungminds.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">aseanyoungminds.substack.com/subscribe</a>

Xinjiang Eyes Wide Open: Khmer Dub
<p><strong>Xinjiang Excitement</strong></p><p><strong>Xinjiang is at the centre of ongoing accusations against China -- claims of massive human rights abuses and even genocide, particularly targeting the Uygur population. Sinophobia has various sources, triggers, and motives, and the narrative surrounding China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region plays a major role in shaping perceptions.</strong></p><p>What I find truly absurd is the eagerness to condemn so-called genocide in Xinjiang while turning a blind eye to what is happening in Palestine. Fact-checkers and so-styled truth-verifiers operate with a clear agenda, often acting to meet the requirements of Western grants.</p><p>Xinjiang is an incredible destination for anyone who prefers to experience a place firsthand, different from the interpretations of fact-checkers or NGOs who have never set foot there. This region has a remarkable tourism story to tell: in the first nine months of 2024, it welcomed an astounding 250 million visitors!</p><p>I hope I don't come across as an arrogant representative of developed Europe or, to put it bluntly, the West. I'll admit that I was initially caught up in the Western narrative myself. I expected to find a remote, desolate area which is essentially "the middle of nowhere." This assumption wasn't rooted in ignorance, but rather in preconceived notions.</p><p>However, during my first visit to China, I was struck by its diversity and depth. I quickly realized that even a lifetime wouldn't be enough to fully appreciate all its richness and nuances. Whenever I mentioned to my Chinese hosts that my next stop was Urumqi, they would light up and say, "Ah, that's such a different place! Expect to see new things!" And they were absolutely right -- it was unlike anything I had ever experienced!</p><p>Like a modern-day Marco Polo or Sinbad the Sailor, though traveling by plane in the 21st century, I was excited for a "different" experience in Urumqi. What I discovered, however, was more of a continuation of the familiar China, but with a surprising twist. The real surprise came from the scents, colors, and sounds that reminded me of my homeland. It was an unexpected and fascinating blend!</p><p>As I boarded the flight to Urumqi, I noticed just as many passengers as I had seen on the flight from Frankfurt to Beijing. "Ah," I thought, "after all, this is China!" When we landed at Urumqi's airport, I was amazed by how modern and bustling it was compared to Skopje's modest terminal. Urumqi had spacious, functional facilities for both domestic and international flights.</p><p>The bus ride to the hotel took place at night, providing me with a glimpse of the illuminated city, massive boulevards with four to six lanes in each direction, towering skyscrapers, brightly lit intersections, and iconic landmarks.</p><p>Another striking impression was the seemingly endless construction -- buildings going up everywhere, with no end in sight! The city is clearly booming. We later witnessed the fruits of this economic growth during our visit to the China Energy Group and an electric car factory.</p><p>During our free time, we ventured out to explore the city on our own. I'll save the story of Urumqi's phenomenal museum for another time -- it was so rich and exciting that it even evoked memories of Balkan history, where civilizations, cultures, ethnicities, and languages intersect in a beautiful tapestry.</p><p>One thing I'll emphasize is this: while the EU promotes the slogan "unity in diversity," China embraces the philosophy of "harmony in diversity." This approach has successfully created a soft, seamless mosaic -- not through domination but by integrating everyone into the vibrant fabric of Chinese society.</p><p>At times, I genuinely felt at home -- whether through the intricate embroidery patterns, the carpets and crafts, or the traditional music and food. Xinjiang's natural beauty is hard to capture in words, with its breathtaking blend of mountain ranges, rivers, lakes, and deserts. Yet, every now and then, I would spot familiar elements that reminded me of home -- like Radika, Lake Ohrid (which has its own "Heavenly Lake," Tianchi), the peaks of Korab and Sar Mountain, or the horses of Mavrovo.</p><p>This region has been serving as a crossroads for various peoples and cultures. It lies at a central point of the ancient Silk Road. Today, the modern Belt and Road Initiative follows these same routes but with cutting-edge infrastructure for connection.</p><p>It's heartwarming to realize that many musical instruments, traditional costumes, and more have traveled from this place to reach us. This experience underscores the idea that the world is both vast and small, and that we, too, are a part of it.</p><p>I'm not claiming to be an expert on China or its complexities. But my experiences have turned me into a modest and curious explorer -- someone eager to learn more, not just about China, but also about the connections between our civilizations and the potential for collaboration in creating a peaceful world.</p><p>We often hear that we stand on "opposite sides," even unfriendly ones. However, it's essential for us to set aside stereotypes and explore every opportunity for closer cooperation across various fields. There's so much to learn from these people, not only about them but also about ourselves as part of the global community.</p><p>I hope I shall return to China. I want to write about the Grand Bazaar in Urumqi, the fascinating stories in the museum, and how they helped me better understand the complexities of the Balkans, where diverse influences have intersected and continue to shape the lives of our ancestors, contemporaries, and future generations.</p><p>It's true that China faces internal challenges, but not all stem from ethnic or religious diversity. Many arise from far more complex historical and external influences, issues we know all too well from personal experience. Yet, China addresses these challenges through investments, compromises, diplomacy, gentleness, and relentless development.</p><p>In just a few days in Xinjiang, I gathered countless stories, inspired by the rich cultural tapestry and intellectual challenges I encountered. It was worth the exhaustion and effort.</p><p>As for the critics, they can keep complaining. If I have the chance again, especially now as I navigate life's final stretch, I would gladly return and experience the "most notorious" places for myself. No one else will define who my friends are or are not.</p><p>For now, China feels like a warm and familiar place -- it even smells like home, reminiscent of the bread from the Grand Bazaar in Urumqi.</p><p>Biljana Vankovska is a professor of international relations and peace studies at the Institute for Security, Defense, and Peace, Faculty of Philosophy, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in North Macedonia.</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202501/20/WS678da932a310a2ab06ea7f89.html">https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202501/20/WS678da932a310a2ab06ea7f89.html</a></p><p></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Young Minds at <a href="https://aseanyoungminds.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">aseanyoungminds.substack.com/subscribe</a>
