China, for its part, always advises other developing countries to explore suitable development models for themselves rather than duplicate the Chinese model, he added. China is only one of the rapidly emerging developing countries in the world today. Despite its rising international profile, Pang believes that China will not change its policies of upholding justice in the international community and not interfering in other countries' internal affairs. Unlike some Western countries, China does not attach "political strings" to its foreign assistance, Pang said. It would not pressure other countries to use its concepts or development model, he said.

"China should first of all do well in handling its own affairs-maintaining political and social stability and economic development, and developing good relations with all other countries," he said.

It is unreasonable to regard China as the only option to address the current financial crisis, Pang said. In his view, the problem, which originated in the West, requires a concerted effort by the international community, especially Western countries. Chen believes China's sound economic growth is a major contribution to world financial stability.
