Features: This book adopts selected international cases to analyze the approach of western leapfrog development from a comparative perspective, emphasizing inspiration rather than imitation. During the research process, the author was deeply impressed by the many common experiences in international cases. For example, leapfrog development must be supported by a sound legal environment, highly developed education, and a stable and harmonious social environment. These principles have become widely recognized, but not everyone can think about them from the perspective of challenges or even crises. If we understand these principles in the context of international cases, they become vivid lessons. From the perspective of decision-makers in western leapfrog development, these principles would, as Hegel said, reach a state of "weathered wisdom." Western leapfrog development carries a heavy historical mission, is highly practical, and spans a vast scope. Regardless of how hard the author tries, it is inevitable to overlook some aspects. Since western leapfrog development is a dynamic process, only a cross-sectional view at a specific point in time can be presented here.
