Summary

This chapter summarizes the characteristics of the Chinese development approach, dubbed as coevolutionary pragmatism. It has three intertwined components: unwavering targets to promote sustainable economic development, comprehensive transformation toward a market economy and industrialization, and flexible approaches to coordinate multiple aspects and interact with partners during the transformation. It is the interaction, mutual adaptation, and consensus formation that count for advancing market economy and industrialization. Paradoxically, the lack of a defined model turns out to be the key to China’s success, as it allows diverse practices and flexible adjustments. Therefore, as an alternative to the Western model, China presents a different perspective to understand and promote development rather than a rivalry model. Actually, China and Africa’s shift from pursuing traditional values to striving for development is an integral part of the compelling global capitalism. This revelation of the nature of China-Africa coevolution can help people reflect on the destination of global development.
