International Experience and Chinese Characteristics
As a new comer striving for modernization, China is badly in need of drawing experience from international practice. At the same time, China must rely on itself to address and resolve problems arising in the process of her peaceful rise. In other words, China"s modernization must bear its own unique characteristics.
For instance, with regard to energy issues, China is working hard to blaze a trail in energy conservation so as to shape up a China-style energy-saving approach. Currently, the American per capita annual consumption of oil is 25 barrels, while that for China is no more than a barrel and a half. Should the Chinese ignore their national conditions and indulge themselves in the wildest "American Dream", the nation"s desperate energy demands will undoubtedly bring heavy burden and endless trouble both to the Chinese people and the humankind as a whole.
Similarly, over the matter of migration of superfluous rural labor force to the city, China is sure to gradually find out the way towards urbanization stamped with Chinese characteristics. At present, China has a labor force of more than 500 million in the countryside, about 200 million of whom are expected to be migrated to the urban areas in the coming two decades. In this matter, we simply cannot afford to dream the "European dream". In modern history, Europe has seen altogether over 60 million people depart for every corner of the world to establish colonies overseas, thereby changing the map of the world. For the Chinese people in the first half of the 21st century, however, they can only tackle this formidable universal problem within its own land, first by carefully coordinating urban and rural development and secondly, by providing guided and orderly flow of redundant rural labor force between the countryside and the city without loss of their lands.

International Practice versus China"s Own Way
As a late-starter in modernization endeavor, China is in dire need of international experience./China needs to draw on best practices worldwide as it seeks to accelerate its ongoing modernization drive./Global experiences are essential for China, a late-starter in its push for modernization./China has to draw on what the world has to offer in its aggressive push for modernization. That said/Having said that/That being said, as China seeks a peaceful rise, it has to meet emerging challenges and identify viable solutions in ways that reflect its national reality. In other words, China must modernize itself in its own way.
(Globally, China has a lot to learn as a late-starter in its push for modernization. Yet domestically, China has to come up with its own solutions to problems that emerge along the way towards peaceful rise. In other words, China"s modernization drive/program must carry Chinese features/go the Chinese way.)
For instance, China promises to/is set to/is on track to find out/identify/embrace an innovative way/(blaze a new trail) to be energy-conserving/consume less and produce more in agriculture, to be energy-conserving in the Chinese way. Americans consume 25 barrels of oil per person per year, as against a mere 1.5 barrels for their Chinese counterparts. In this connection, should the Chinese fancy an American lifestyle irrespective of China"s actualities on the ground, subsequent upsurges in demand for oil and other energy sources would mean/entail hefty/overwhelming/crushing burdens and untold trouble on China itself and the wider humanity/overwhelm availability and take a far-reaching toll on not only China itself but the broader global community.
When it comes to the transfer of surplus rural labor/When it comes to how we go about accommodating surplus rural labor, China is set to follow an urbanization path typical of its own. At this point, China is home to over 500 million rural laborers, and 20 years from now, roughly over 200 million farmers need to seek off-farm jobs. China can"t blindly copy/replicate the European way to accommodate such a massive influx of rural labor into cities. In early modern Europe, over 60 million Europeans left home to build colonies elsewhere across the world. And they changed the face of the world map as a result. In China"s case, however, we have to balance urban-rural development and facilitate the movement of rural laborers between farm work and urban jobs while keeping their farmland intact/banning or stamping out land expropriation/deprivation. That is how we go about addressing/crashing this most daunting conundrum within China"s own territory in the first half of the new century.
