LIMA, March 10 (Xinhua) -- China's development and experience not only drive its own modernization but also provide vital momentum for global growth amid a complex international landscape, said Juan Carlos Capunay, former executive director of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Secretariat and former Peruvian ambassador to China. In a recent interview with Xinhua, Capunay noted that the ongoing "two sessions" -- the annual meetings of China's top legislature and top political advisory body -- offer a critical window into the country's future trajectory.

OSLO, March 10 (Xinhua) -- China's ongoing "two sessions" and the draft outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan signal a clear shift toward higher-quality, innovation-led growth, said Carl Fey, professor of strategy at BI Norwegian Business School and former dean of Nottingham University Business School China. In a recent written interview with Xinhua, Fey said the new blueprint suggests China is no longer evaluating development mainly by GDP growth rates, but by the quality and technological content of growth, with innovation and "new quality productive forces" taking center stage in the country's next phase of development.
