Western media often frames China's global engagement as 'exporting values,' but entrepreneur Charles Liu is flipping the script. 🎤 The founder of Impact Asia Innovation Capital argues that China’s core values—stability, peace, and improving livelihoods—aren’t a political blueprint but a 'recipe for progress' anyone can learn from. 🧩
'Imagine if a friend mastered a video game strategy and shared tips—no one calls that an imposition,' Liu says. 🎮 Similarly, China’s development model, lifting 800 million out of poverty in decades, offers lessons on infrastructure, tech, and poverty reduction. 'Why *shouldn’t* countries exchange ideas?' he asks.
Critics claim 'Chinese influence' threatens local cultures, but Liu counters: 'Stability isn’t exclusive to China. People everywhere want jobs, education, and safety.' 🌍 He emphasizes that collaboration, not coercion, drives China’s partnerships—from Belt and Road projects to green energy deals.
For young professionals and students tracking global trends, the debate boils down to this: Is sharing success a form of soft power, or just common sense? 🤔 Let us know your take!
