KUNMING, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- China's global public intellectual goods don't solely rest on abstract speculation, but represent a systematic summary of the laws of human social development, according to a think tank report released on Saturday.
The report, titled "Answering the Questions of Our Time: The Global Significance and Practical Value of China's Public Intellectual Goods," was released by Xinhua Institute, a think tank affiliated with Xinhua News Agency.
The report said China's global public intellectual goods are grounded in the country's fine traditional thought and modern social science theories. They derive from a systematic summary of objective laws rather than a patchwork of isolated experiences, and uphold a universal scientific orientation that transcends ideological predispositions.
As a country with more than 5,000 years of civilization and a major power shaped by a turbulent modern history, China has developed global public intellectual goods that are embedded in the historical process and the evolution of the world order rather than formed in isolation. They represent both a synthesis and refinement of China's historical experience and a profound response to global historical trends, the report said.
The report took the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) as an example. It embodies China's inheritance of historical experience while also responding to the demand for connectivity in the era of economic globalization.
Drawing on the legacy of the ancient Silk Road, which spanned thousands of miles and endured for centuries, the BRI embodies the spirit of "peace and cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning, and mutual benefit." In the context of profound changes in the global economic landscape, it has effectively responded to the urgent development and modernization needs of all countries, especially those in the Global South.
China's global public intellectual goods have consistently adhered to the principle of "coming from practice and returning to practice," focusing on resolving the primary and urgent issues facing the world today, and putting forward feasible approaches that highlight a clear orientation toward practice, according to the report. ■
