Physical observation and practical experience tell the real story. If anyone wants to know factual mechanics of growth in China, a quality trip is a dire need of hour.

I feel myself fortunate to have journeyed various parts of China especially northeast areas and Beijing. Applying the doctrine of seeing is believing, I got apprised in true sense that China’s development is not a cosmetic one rather an outcome of long and strenuous struggle made by all successive governments.

12-day tour that encompassed visits of Changchun, capital of Jilin province and Harbin, Daoli district, Heilongjiang province and Beijing, helped me to witness how various institutions, departments and people have been working hand in hand to take ongoing economic and social revolution to new heights.  Instead of focusing on individual progress and protectionism, they have been concentrating on global and shared destiny.

Playing a crucial role to sensitize world about what are the dynamism of progress, China Radio International Online put together ten foreign experts in a shape of delegation to which I represented Pakistan as senior journalist. Delegation included Mr. Maxhun Peka from Albania, Mr. Yury Tavrovskiy from Russia, Mr. Romeo Orlandi from Italy, Mr. Yasir Habib Khan from Pakistan, Mr. Gregory Heller from France, Mr. Nikolay Marinov from Balgaria, Mr. Pham Khuong Duy from Vietnam, Mr. Jose Marquitos Ferreira from Portugal and Mr. Duggy Day from UK.

Highlights of visit were production line of Jeifang J6 truck, Hongqi exhibition hall at FAW group, 11^th China-Northeast Asia Expo, Jilin Animation Institute, Changchun Beihu science park and information office of the People’s government of Jilin province, Stalin Avenue, Cultural Avenue Park, panorama of pigeons and flying kites, Chinese cuisine, Central Avenue (a Western style boisterous corridor of Harbin), Bund Harbin Qunli Wetland, wisdom community, home community health service center, Harbin innovative financial Industry park, Changling lake as Longjiang leisure vacation and Asia’s first large aircraft dismantling Base.

On opening ceremony of “Foreign opinion leaders’ trip to Beijing at Yongding gate tower, we are also bestowed awards of China-friendly Netizen 2017. We, later also visited national new media industrial base in Daxing district, starlight studio, Beujing Kaku Cartoon Satellite channel, Beijing famous fashion park 751 D-park, Chinese traditional Beijing Opera and national museum.

My conclusion is that China has a robust potential to assume the charge of a responsible world power.  It knows very well how to team up with every country across the globe to achieve set targets of shared economy, socio-political boom, peace and stability, agriculture & industrial revolution, cultural & heritage modernization and high-tech innovation in all spheres of life.

Every country is being provided level playing field to make a turnaround irrespective of political system, religion and geo-political status.  There will be no exaggeration if it is claimed that China has found the secret of progress which pivoted on the theme of work together, grow together and succeed together.

As China continues to reforms in economy, industrialization, agriculture, infrastructure development welcoming tech savvy innovation, seamless progress is in full swing. With uplifting the lives of people and upgrading far flung areas brimming with mega structures, bullet trains and better eco-system, I believe that china is raising the bars for others.

In the end, I want to pay homage to Wang Wenjun, vice president of CRI, Gao Lianzhong, vice president of CRIOnline, Jiang Baoning, vice director of online review bureau, cyberspace administration of China, Izhang Jinlin, director of information office of people’s government of Beijing Municipality and other government officials and CRIOnline people who made enlightening tour successful. Mr. Gao Lianzhong, Ms Xue Mei, Huan Yang and Ms. Gaofei are among those Chinese friends who will be remembered forever.
