Martin Jacques is a senior researcher at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. More than a decade ago, Jacques accurately predicted that China would continue to consolidate its economic strength along a unique development path different from that of the West.

Since the early days of his administration, President Xi Jinping has proposed the "Chinese Dream". Martin Jacques believes that the "Chinese Dream" is the dedication of the Chinese people through an era to get rid of poverty, improve their lives, and change China's global status.

In the eyes of Martin Jacques, the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative is a wonderful initiative, unique in modern history. With the development of time, the concept has been continuously concretized, like a natural process of continuous growth and evolution. No other initiative has such "viability".

According to Martin Jacques, it is a happy thing to be a Chinese now. The whole country is becoming more and more confident, people's living standards are steadily improving, and China is becoming more and more important to the world.Editor/Ma Xue
