Answer 1

Answer:

a. experimenting with policies that are compatible with a state’s political structure and experience rather than with economic liberalism.

Explanation:

The Beijing Consensus reflects a new approach to development based on China's model of economic growth. It is a non-liberal, state-driven view of development, in which development is seen as a process of structural transformation of society and cannot be confused or replaced by market economic policies. Thus, the central objective of the Beijing Consensus Chinese Development Policies is to create a development policy based on the experience of the state, within that country's political conformation, in order to link economic development to social and human development.
