Zhang Weiwei, Dean of the China Research Institute of Fudan University, said that the rise of China is a combination of the four industrial revolutions and has successfully broken through the "periphery-center" dependency system model. China's success has not only benefited from the so-called "advantages" such as the market economy and foreign direct investment, but more importantly, China has found a correct and suitable path to modernization. China implements the "election + selection" system of selecting and appointing talents politically, and socialist market economy economically. This is a mixed economic model.
