Global socialists gather in Beijing to explore development paths #CGTN

Can socialism offer fresh solutions to today’s global challenges?

In Beijing, the 15th World Socialism Forum gathered nearly 90 delegates from 35 countries, a rare dialogue platform for global socialist thinkers at a moment of historic change.

Amid shifting power dynamics and calls for fairer global governance, participants say China’s modernization offers a new form of development distinct from the Western model. They also highlight the growing international relevance of ideas such as socialism with Chinese characteristics, and their potential to inspire new thinking across the Global South.
