July 1 this year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. At the beginning of its founding in 1921, the Communist Party of China had only more than 50 party members. After a century of development, the Communist Party of China has 92 million party members, leading the Chinese people to build a poor and white New China into the second largest economy in the world, accounting for 17% of the world economy, and contributing more than 30 consecutive years to world economic growth. %, the per capita GDP has gone from more than US$20 at the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China to more than US$10,000 today, and the gap in development with high-income countries has been narrowing. It has achieved rapid economic miracles and world-renowned economic and social development achievements. I would like to take this opportunity to highlight a few points to friends from the consular district.
1. The historical achievements of the Communist Party of China
The Communist Party of China was born under the background of the Chinese nation’s internal and external troubles and unprecedented social crisis. Generations of Communists, represented by Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao, and Xi Jinping, led the Chinese people to search from top to bottom and blaze a path of development that suits China’s national conditions. In 1949, the Communist Party of China led the Chinese people to establish the People’s Republic of China, which completely ended the history of the semi-colonial and semi-feudal society of old China, and realized China’s leap from feudal autocracy for thousands of years to people’s democracy. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the Communist Party of China led the Chinese people to complete the socialist revolution, established the basic socialist system, and promoted socialist construction, laying the fundamental political prerequisite and institutional foundation for all development and progress in contemporary China. The great new revolution of reform and opening up in 1978 has greatly liberated and developed social productive forces, markedly improved people’s living standards, and markedly increased their overall national strength, realizing the great leap of the Chinese people from standing up to becoming prosperous and strong. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, China has achieved a series of new and important achievements, basically achieving the goal of building a well-off society in all respects, and contributing Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to human problems. , Formed Xi Jinping’s thoughts on socialism with Chinese characteristics in a new era, and socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era.
2. The Chinese Communist Party’s Sentiment for the People
In the course of a century of history, the Communist Party of China has relied closely on the people, insisted on putting the people at the center, persisting in seeking happiness for the people, crossing hurdles after another, and winning one after another. As the most populous developing country in the world, China has been plagued by poverty for a long time. The Communist Party of China unites and leads the Chinese people to fight poverty with unwavering, unyielding faith and will. Since 2012, 98.99 million rural poor people have been lifted out of poverty under China’s current standards, 832 poor counties have all been lifted, and 128,000 poor villages have all been listed. The overall regional poverty has been resolved, and the arduous task of eliminating absolute poverty has been completed. In February 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping solemnly declared that China’s fight against poverty has won an overall victory. After the fight against poverty, the income and welfare of the poor have increased substantially, which not only met their basic survival needs, but also laid the foundation for subsequent development.
In the battle against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, people of all ethnic groups across the country have worked stubbornly. Major strategic results have been achieved in epidemic prevention and control, and China’s domestic epidemic situation has been effectively controlled. Recently, China has accelerated its vaccination work. As of June 19, it has received more than 1 billion doses, of which more than 560 million doses in the past month; 7 vaccines have been put into use, and 21 vaccines have entered clinical trials. In the face of a major test of the epidemic, the Chinese Communist Party has protected the people’s lives and health to the utmost extent.
3. Responsibilities of the Communist Party of China
The Communist Party of China adheres to an independent foreign policy of peace, adheres to the path of peaceful development, and adheres to the open strategy of mutual benefit and win-win results. In international affairs, uphold the correct view of justice and profit, oppose hegemonism and power politics, maintain world peace, promote human progress, promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and promote the building of a harmonious world of lasting peace and common prosperity. On the basis of the five principles of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence, develop China’s relations with all countries in the world.
China actively participates in mediation hotspot issues. It is the second largest contributor to UN dues and peacekeeping expenses. It is also the country that sends the most peacekeepers among the permanent members of the Security Council. Over the past seven years since China proposed the “Belt and Road” initiative, it has signed 205 documents for the joint construction of the “Belt and Road” with 140 countries and 31 international organizations. The total trade volume of goods with partner countries has exceeded US$7.8 trillion. The state’s direct investment exceeded 110 billion U.S. dollars, which played an important role in promoting local people’s employment and economic development. Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, China has provided strong support for countries to respond to the epidemic. In 2020, China exported 224.2 billion masks to the world, which is equivalent to providing nearly 40 masks for everyone outside of China. With its large population and tight supply of vaccines, China has provided more than 350 million doses of vaccines to the international community, including vaccine assistance to more than 80 countries and export of vaccines to more than 40 countries. “Made in China” and “China Aid” are injecting continuous impetus into global epidemic prevention and control.
According to the international and domestic situation and China’s development conditions, the Communist Party of China has set a long-term goal for 2035, which is to basically realize socialist modernization and build a socialist modernized power by 2050. At present, under the guidance of the new development concept, China is deeply advancing its high-level opening up to the outside world. This will provide countries around the world with greater market space and create more development opportunities!
