Chinese governance needs non-Western lens, says professor

Nie Huihua, a professor at Renmin University of China, argues that understanding China's governance and innovation requires moving beyond Western-centric economic frameworks. He suggests that China's system, characterized by top-down accountability and a blend of formal and informal institutions, differs significantly from Western bottom-up electoral models. Nie highlights the importance of informal mechanisms and collectivist cultural values in East Asian countries, contrasting them with the Western emphasis on individualism and formal rule of law. AI
