Chinese Economic Daily Launches Spanish Edition on Xi Jinping’s Economic Thought in Chile

On May 14, the Spanish edition of the book “Collection of Studies on Xi Jinping’s Economic Thought” was presented at the Intercontinental Hotel in Santiago. This publication aims to provide Spanish-speaking audiences with insights into the theoretical, methodological, and practical foundations of China’s economic model in the new era.

The event featured the participation of the Chinese Ambassador to Chile, Niu Qingbao, along with former Chilean ambassadors to China, Fernando Reyes Matta and Luis Schmidt. It aimed to strengthen academic, diplomatic, and economic dialogue between China and Latin America.

The conference was organized by the Chinese Economic Daily, a media outlet founded on January 1, 1983, amid China’s comprehensive Reform and Opening. Over four decades later, the newspaper has established itself as China’s leading economic publication and a key platform for understanding the productive, technological, and commercial transformations of the Asian giant.

According to information provided by the organizers, the publication has a circulation of over 1.3 million copies and a global audience exceeding 325 million followers. However, its role extends beyond merely informing; it serves as a bridge for media cooperation, academic exchange, and international relations through high-level forums, global exchanges, and economic analysis spaces.

Chinese Economic Daily: A Window to Understand China’s Development

The Chinese Economic Daily serves as a strategic window for those seeking to comprehend China’s economic landscape beyond superficial metrics. In other words, it is not just about evaluating growth rates, foreign trade, or investment, but understanding how China integrates planning, innovation, territorial development, and industrial policy.

Alongside the newspaper, the China Economic News Website operates as a nationally focused digital platform sponsored by the publication itself. Its work centers on interpreting macroeconomic policies, tracking industrial trends, and publishing relevant data to facilitate understanding of the country’s economic evolution.

The platform includes sections on political news, public policy publications, finance, science and technology, energy, and digital economy. It also reports on key indicators such as industrial added value and foreign trade scale, in addition to regional processes like the growth of the Yangtze River Delta and industrial cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

A Work for Dialogue with Latin America

The Spanish edition of the “Collection of Studies on Xi Jinping’s Economic Thought,” edited by Zheng Qingdong, was presented as a landmark for academic dialogue between China and Latin America.

This is the first time that Spanish-speaking readers have access to an authorized compilation of studies on Xi Jinping’s economic thought. The work covers central elements of contemporary Chinese model, emphasizing planning, innovation, sustainability, and political leadership.

In the Latin American context, this discussion is quite significant. The region faces persistent structural challenges: inequality, dependence on raw materials, technological gaps, the need for industrialization, and environmental urgencies. Therefore, understanding other developmental experiences can raise useful questions for universities, research centers, public institutions, and comparative research spaces.

The book launch in Chile, therefore, had not only an editorial significance but also opened a dialogue about cooperation, experience exchange, and new ways to think about development from the Global South.

In this context, the event organized by the Chinese Economic Daily reinforces an underlying idea: understanding the Chinese economy is no longer a distant matter reserved for specialists. For Chile and Latin America, it is part of a strategic conversation regarding present and future developmental pathways.
