The document discusses the Beijing Consensus model of development as an alternative to the Washington Consensus model. It summarizes the key aspects of the Beijing Consensus, which include allowing developing countries self-determination without requirements for reforms or elections, providing foreign aid without strings attached, and emphasizing economic growth and social stability over democracy. The Beijing Consensus appeals to many developing nations and has influenced the strategies of multinational companies operating in China.

Editor's Notes
- Ramo, Joshua Cooper. The Beijing Consensus, Foreign Policy Center, 2004, Page 3
- The BC prescribes slow gradual reform, that allows the current regime to maintain stability, security and order. This is a favourable environment for business to operate under. In fact, in some ways is superior to fledgling democracies which are volatile and unstable in transition.
- Based on the current status, the United states is still the world leader: USA outranks China on Correlates of War index, but China's capacity for cyber warfare may allow them to leapfrog USA in next war.Although China's economy is growing faster, is more stable, and more liquid. The US is still the undisputed leader in GDP, and the largest economic engine in the world today. China has the largest population in the world, has just surpassed the US in OECD education rating, and has the world's largest online community and growing. Average age in China is younger than the US. Average income is still very low in relation to the US, but is growing.US diplomatic power is unrivaled and although China's influence with institutions is growing, they will not rival the US in diplomatic power in near future US softpower is in decline. Perhaps due to some resentment of the world leader. China ranks just behind US in PIPA rating poll. As we will show, China has much more appeal with developing nations. The BC could be a key component to Chinese soft power against the US and the WAC. The US is more willing to act abroad than China. China has recently become more active in international affairs, and the US is perhaps been too active, leading to a negative opinion of the US in many developing countries. US is and will remain the power in this area for the forseeable future.
- With China’s strength for cyber and economic war, economic growth and growing influence and soft power, we expect that China will overtake the US as the overall world leader – assuming present trends continue. The last bastions of US power will be diplomatic, and their willingness to act. According to Modelski, this willingness to act would prove to be the final death knell of the declining leader in that, they would expend what little resources they have left trying to preserve their empire.
- Important to ask what lessons the China model or BC do have for developing nations? Perhaps the most important lesson is that there is another way from the hegemonic order that is the WAC. When the IMF tells a country that they must sell their state-owned companies, the nation could respond: Why should we do that, China didn’t? It is not realistic to believe that there is one way for all nations to develop, whether that is the WAC, the BC or some mixture of the two.
