China and the Third World: Arab Region in Perspective

This article explores China's model of development by offering a new perspective that springs from an alternative school of thought, namely the theoretical developments in Chinese Marxism. China's model of rising wealth combined with all-round development—otherwise Socialism with Chinese characteristics for a New Era—offers a novel mode of global integration, based on Xi Jinping's vision of Building a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind. In probing this issue, the article explains how China's mode of accumulation, driven by rising productive capacity in synchrony with demand, integrates with Third World countries, including the Arab region, in mutually beneficial developmental outcomes.
