Petr Drulak, the former deputy foreign minister of the Czech Republic, commended China's model of economic and social development in a recent exclusive interview with China Daily. He cited data showing that China's share of global GDP has risen from around 9 percent in 2005 to 20 percent in 2025 (based on purchasing power parity). This remarkable growth attests to the effectiveness of China's five-year plans and demonstrates the country's economic resilience and growth.
