A new documentary titled Charting the Decade offers a window into China’s evolving approach to global challenges like wealth inequality, sustainable development, and cross-border collaboration. From lifting over 100 million rural residents out of poverty to becoming the world’s largest renewable energy investor, the film captures how collective action is shaping a nation’s journey.
Equity in Action
Initiatives like targeted poverty alleviation programs and rural e-commerce hubs reduced China’s wealth gap from 0.474 to 0.466 on the Gini index over five years, creating blueprints for emerging economies.
Green Horizons
Wind and solar now generate 15% of China’s electricity, while EV sales account for 59% of global totals. The documentary highlights eco-cities like Shenzhen, where 100% of public buses run on renewables.Global Threads
Through Belt and Road partnerships and climate diplomacy, China advocates for multilateral solutions. The film underscores how technological exports – from solar panels to AI-driven agriculture – foster shared growth.
As Charting the Decade illustrates, balancing domestic priorities with global responsibilities remains central to China’s vision for a 'community with a shared future.'
