Addressing the NZ Institute of International Affairs in November 2022, Ambassador Dr Wang Xiaolong said “China’s choice for values, social system and path to modernity is made by our own people, based on our own history, culture and realities. All these choices have proven to be suitable and effective to solve China’s problems and meet the needs of the Chinese people”
In this interview by Mike Smith of the New Zealand Fabian Society, Ambassador Wang expands on the concept of Chinese values, emphasising the importance of the collective over the individual, as well as the importance of individual responsibility. We also learn that Ambassador Wang is a keen hiker! Well worth a listen.
