Transparent governance, strict party discipline, and sustained green investments are the primary forces propelling China's economic rise, Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Chithral Fernando said.
Highlighting the factors behind Beijing's developmental success, he explained how the Chinese Communist Party combines state-guided market policies with rigorous internal accountability to secure public trust and long-term national growth.
Fernando pointed out that China channels its investments, technological innovation, and economic expansion through a highly formalised framework.
A major component of this strategy involves substantial long-term commitments to the green economy, with particular emphasis placed on renewable energy, electric vehicles, and recycling programmes.
By consistently executing well-structured plans while allowing the state to steer market activities, China has delivered large-scale improvements in both infrastructure and urban development, he said.
Examining the political machinery underpinning these achievements, Fernando said that political parties must operate as comprehensive governance institutions rather than simple election-contesting vehicles.
He noted that effective political organisations depend on strict internal discipline, sound resource management, adherence to established rules, and formal investigative mechanisms to tackle corruption.
Fernando observed that China has practically demonstrated the effectiveness of this rule-based system in earning public confidence.
