Mao Ning

Asked to comment on a recent article by Yanis Varoufakis, an economist and Greece's former finance minister, published on Project Syndicate, which pointed out that in order to hide their own failures, Western elites fabricated a false narrative that "China has cheated its way to prosperity," and that the reasons for China's economic success should be viewed from a more objective perspective, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Thursday that "I have also read this article. It is indeed well-reasoned, objective, and rational. I recommend everyone read it."

China's success is not accidental, nor is it achieved through "cheating." It is a reflection of the strength of China's system and the success of the Chinese path, Chinese philosophy, and Chinese model, the spokesperson stressed.
