Beyond Emissions: Decoding China''s Green Development Model as a Blueprint for the Global South
At the Boao Forum for Asia 2026, China presented its green development model not merely as a domestic policy but as a potential pathway for other developing nations. This analysis moves beyond the surface discussion to examine the core economic logic of integrating ecological protection with growth, questioning its scalability and the underlying supply chain and geopolitical implications. We explore whether this model represents a genuine paradigm shift for sustainable industrialization or a strategic tool for soft power, and what its adoption would mean for global green technology markets and resource dependencies.
