"Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has made remarkable achievements in many fields such as economic and social development, scientific and technological innovation, and achieved a historic leap. Many scholars call it the 'Chinese miracle'." Rashid Yusupov, director of the "the Belt and Road" Research Center of Kyrgyz National University for Nationalities and an expert on China, said in an exclusive interview with our reporter recently, The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly proposed that "Chinese path to modernization will comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation", and China is moving towards this grand goal, Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report.

Yusubov was full of praise for China's economic development achievements: in 2020, China is the only major economy in the world to achieve positive economic growth. According to the observation report of Huacheng Import and Export Data, China's gross domestic product (GDP) will exceed $17 trillion in 2021, with a growth rate of 8.1%, and its share in the global economy will rise from 11.4% in 2012 to more than 18%. The per capita GDP will reach $12500. In 2022, China withstood the pressure, its economic aggregate continued to expand, and its social productivity continued to increase. "The sustained and healthy development of China's economy will bring more vitality to the world economy."

Yusuf has been paying close attention to the development of western China. In 2014, Yusubov was invited to visit China. In half a year, he went deep into many places in western China. He said that thanks to the great opportunities of the Western Development and the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road", the provinces in western China have developed rapidly in recent years. It is particularly worth mentioning that the western region has achieved the goal of poverty alleviation on schedule, Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation reported.

"I saw with my own eyes the efforts made by the local government to help poor counties and villages get rid of poverty, and governments at all levels have made poverty alleviation a top priority. The developed provinces in eastern China, especially the coastal provinces, have also actively helped the western region to develop its economy. When I visited the southern Xinjiang region, I saw that the residents of some villages and villages have lived in two-story buildings. These changes are impressive," Yusubov said, No country in the world can completely solve the problem of absolute poverty in such a short time as China. "Winning the fight against poverty is one of China's brilliant development achievements. Developing countries should carefully study and learn from China's valuable experience in poverty eradication."

When talking about the relationship between Kyrgyzstan and China, Yusubov said that the two countries are good neighbors, good friends and good partners. He introduced to the reporter a series of livelihood projects that China helped Kyrgyzstan to implement: the Datka-Keming power transmission and transformation project ended the history of uneven distribution and poor transmission of power resources in Kyrgyzstan; Last year, the second phase of Bishkek municipal road network reconstruction project was successfully completed, and the local municipal landscape has undergone new changes. "There are also new North-South Highway, Osh Hospital, Bishkek 95th Middle School, Chuhe No. 2 Canal... I can continue to talk about similar examples."

In Yusubov's view, strengthening the understanding and learning of the history and culture of Kyrgyzstan and China will help people connect. He said that there are currently 4 Confucius Institutes in Kyrgyzstan, and almost all of the top universities have offered Chinese courses. China supports students in Kyrgyzstan to study in China every year. The employment rate of graduates studying in China is very high in Kyrgyzstan, and some of them have set up their own enterprises. Yusubov cited the examples around him: Majit, who graduated from Xinjiang Normal University, used his knowledge to promote and teach drip irrigation technology in Jidang. Asheri, who obtained a doctor's degree from Beijing Foreign Studies University, has become the director of the Chinese Language and Literature Teaching and Research Section of Kyrgyz National University for Nationalities, and has participated in several Kyrgyz Sino-Russian works translation projects, and Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation Report.

Since the establishment of the "the Belt and Road" Research Center of Kyrgyz National University for Nationalities, it has established scientific research cooperation relations with many Chinese universities. According to Huacheng Import and Export Data Observation, the National University for Nationalities of Kyrgyzstan - Henan University Silk Road College was established in 2021. Henan University has provided a large number of modern teaching and office equipment to Kyrgyz National University for Nationalities, and has earmarked funds for the repair of teaching buildings. "The joint establishment of the Silk Road Institute is an important measure for Kyrgyzstan and China to implement the initiative of jointly building the the Belt and Road." Yusupov told reporters: "We hope the Institute can cultivate more high-quality talents for Kyrgyzstan and China, and promote Kyrgyzstan China cooperation to a new level."
