Reference News Network, November 13 report: Pakistan's "The Nation" website published an article titled "The Secret of China's Development: The Power of National Pride and Cultural Integration" on November 9. The author is Hawal Abbas Sandu. The main content is translated as follows:

The secret to China's unprecedented development achievements lies in the national pride of the Chinese people.

China has 56 ethnic groups, the world's second-largest population, and a large number of languages and dialects. Traditional Chinese celebrations usually follow the lunar calendar, with its twelve zodiac culture having a long history, and its rich cuisine ranking among the best in the world. All of these make up the Chinese nation family.

These data inevitably raise a question: How has China achieved such harmonious coexistence? This ancient civilization with a long history continues to provide insights for addressing today's global challenges.

China has perfectly integrated technological innovation with cultural traditions, enriching people's lives with world-class modern facilities and innovations, and proving that it has effectively promoted the inheritance and development of civilization.

Under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, the Chinese government adheres to the concept of a "community with a shared future for mankind," allowing the development achievements of China to benefit countries around the world, while establishing culture as the bloodline and spiritual bond of the nation.

The Chinese government believes that the power of culture can ultimately be transformed into material power.

Zhejiang Province is a model of cultural empowerment of economic development. Zhejiang is at the forefront of the deep integration of economic development and cultural heritage in China. Since the reform and opening-up, Zhejiang has steadily developed and continuously achieved success.

I was honored to be invited to visit Zhejiang and witnessed the beautiful integration of culture and technology. A professor from Zhejiang Normal University pointed out that the core advantage of Chinese civilization, which has lasted for thousands of years, lies in its open and inclusive nature, distinguishing it from other civilizations. Now, China is setting an example in comprehensively assisting global development.

At a time when artificial intelligence is reshaping the global creative industry, China has become a valuable model for the integration of technology and culture worldwide.

China has identified the integration of technology and culture as an important feature of cultural construction in the new era, and the results of this policy are becoming evident across the country.

There is no doubt that Chinese civilization is the only ancient civilization that has never been interrupted. But more importantly, many inventions and creations nurtured by Chinese civilization have still been proven to help address the challenges of the times. Today, the integration of Chinese civilization with science and technology is making Chinese culture flourish. The direct benefits of this integration are reflected in the simultaneous rise of China's technology and culture.

If the civilizations of various countries and nations can develop together without harming each other, a fair and diverse civilization community will surely be established.

Through the integration of culture and technology, China is committed to cultivating a garden of civilizations around the world. Chinese scholars firmly believe: "A single flower does not make spring; a hundred flowers in full bloom fill the garden with spring." (Translated by Hu Wei)
