"Zhejiang offers an excellent window into China’s economic and social development," David W. Ferguson wrote in his new book.

Born in the UK, Ferguson is a writer and editor with Foreign Languages Press and a recipient of the Chinese Government Friendship Award. Having lived in China for 19 years, Ferguson has carefully observed and developed an in-depth understanding of the country. In 2023, he visited a broad range of locations in Zhejiang, to look for the secrets of development of this pioneer province in China. His new book, China's Development in the New Era - the Zhejiang Experience, was published recently.

Starting Jan 15, Zhejiang International Communication Center, in collaboration with Foreign Languages Press, is to launch a new program, Decode China: David Ferguson's Storytelling, inviting Ferguson to share his ideas about China's development. Stay tuned.
