Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 2nd, by wire Title: China’s New Journey and a New Chapter of Civilization
In New Year’s China, everything is business as usual, but everything is renewed.
Beijing. University student volunteer Han Ziyi is drawing a digital painting of “Bird’s Nest”. The Beijing Winter Olympics will open here, and the thousand-year-old ancient capital has become the first “Double Olympic City” for mankind.
Shanghai. Zhang Xinyi, a lecturer at the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China, is telling the story of “the great event that opened up the world.” The world‘s largest ruling party will usher in its 20th largest, and the museum expects that the number of visitors will reach a new high by then.
Guangxi. Qinzhou Port Commodity Inspector Chen Rongzhen is inspecting a batch of “zero-tariff” fruits in Southeast Asia, which will enter thousands of households in China. The world‘s largest free trade zone officially set sail on the 1st.
Great changes are projected on ordinary people.
In 2021, history meets and is recorded in the annals of history. On July 1st of this year, the Chinese Communist Party celebrated its centennial birthday. The “two establishments” are written into the CCP’s historical resolution, which is of decisive significance for advancing the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
2022, the glory continues, reflecting the future. A century of change is intertwined with the epidemic of the century. The world is realigning its course, and a new game has been opened in the change. 1.4 billion Chinese people are united to march towards the “new coordinate” of human history.
“We have embarked on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, and we are marching with our heads high on the road to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.” President Xi Jinping said in his 2022 New Year’s message, “Let us move towards the future together!”

The Great Renaissance at the Historical Pass
In 2021, the Chinese dream will be realized in an all-round well-off society. After a century of struggle, the Chinese Communist Party has led the people to shock the world with a historic leap.
China has created the “two miracles” of rapid economic development and long-term social stability, and has increasingly approached the center of the world stage.
In 2022, it will be less than 28 years before the goal of becoming a powerful nation is achieved-this span is equivalent to the establishment of the Communist Party of China to the establishment of a new China.
The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process.
In the new year, these scenes will be unimaginable in the impoverished and weak ancient eastern country a hundred years ago:
Chinese astronauts entering their own space station will welcome the Lunar Year of the Tiger in space.
China will fully enter the orbital construction phase of the space station. British “Nature” magazine said that the completion of the Chinese space station will set a major milestone. On earth, the Chinese can also travel in outer space in the “meta universe”.

Beijing, which has been plagued by aggression and catastrophe in modern times, will unite and inspire the world with a “simple, safe, and exciting” Winter Olympics.
The 19-year-old Gu Ailing will represent China in the Winter Olympics. The American-born ski world champion has joined Chinese nationality.
The Chinese-American Gu Ailing hopes to use her experience to attract more young people, especially girls, to participate in skiing. The Winter Olympics will drive China’s “300 million people on ice and snow.”
The “Pearl of the Orient” Hong Kong celebrates its 25th anniversary of its return to the motherland. Members of the new Legislative Council of the Special Administrative Region took office. The implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law, the implementation of the new election system, and the practice of “One Country, Two Systems” have entered a new realm of stability and long-term development.
The new crown pneumonia epidemic has hit the world for two years, and China maintains its dominant position in global epidemic prevention and control. Many institutions predict that China’s economic growth rate will exceed 5% this year, which is higher than the global average.
China today is not just a super-large economy that accounts for 18% of the world‘s total economy. This country that has ushered in the great leap of “from standing up, getting rich to becoming strong” has a more complete system guarantee, a more solid material foundation, and a more active spiritual force.

China has anchored a series of goals to become a strong country: a country with manufacturing power, a country with quality, a country with science and technology, a country with culture, a country with education, a country with talents, a country with networks, a country with sports, a country with transportation…
The scene of welcoming Meng Wanzhou’s “home” is “China Red”; “national tide” has become a new consumer fashion; the injured “guard of the country and defending the border” has returned to the whole country to pay attention to the team; Chinese people dare to focus on rules, human rights, democracy, etc. Clash with power on issues and uphold the righteous way in the world…
Pride in the prosperity of the motherland and self-confidence to “view the world” has become the common mentality of Chinese people.
But self-confidence and self-improvement does not mean obsolescence and solipsism.
The People’s Literature Publishing House with a history of more than 70 years has specially opened the “Harry Potter Studio”. This year, they will introduce more series of peripheral books in different versions to serve more and more Chinese “Ha fans”.
At the end of last year, the Irish band West Side Boys sang the Chinese song “Ordinary Road” online, which quickly exceeded 100 million views. “Post-80s” fan Li Yijie said that when the world hears Chinese songs, this is the musical memory we share with fans all over the world.
The historical trend is irreversible. China has gone from humiliation and disaster to great rejuvenation, bringing peace, stability and opportunities to the world, and gaining more and more “foreign fans”.
British businessman Stephen Perry’s family witnessed the rise of China and took the “development express”; “Why is Socialism with Chinese Characteristics OK?” translated by Italian teacher Le Xiaoyue “Selling overseas, she hopes to become the “new Marco Polo”; internationally renowned investor Jim Rogers asked his daughter to learn Chinese and regarded it as the “best investment” in the 21st century…
A “Magnificent Sunrise” of a New Form of Civilization
The revival has never been so close. China has found a path to modernization that has never been taken by mankind.
Linzhi, Tibet. At an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, Internet celebrities punch in Lulang International Tourist Town, which attracts office workers who have lived in the city for a long time. There are alpine pastures, forest snow-capped mountains, blue sky and white clouds and various Tibetan-style homestays. In the warm sun, tourists chatted easily in the coffee house, and prayer flags fluttered in the wind. In the future, the Sichuan-Tibet Railway that has started construction will pass nearby. At that time, the train will cross the “roof of the world“, and the once isolated highland town will accelerate to modernization.

“Modernization” was born in the West, but China has given it new connotations. Under the guidance of the new development concept of innovation, coordination, greenness, openness, and sharing, we must walk out of the growth zone of extensive, inefficient, and ecologically damaged, and avoid capitalism. The disadvantages of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.
High-quality development is the only way.
Shenyang, an important industrial town in the Northeast. Shengu Group celebrated its 70th birthday. This state-owned enterprise produces compressors known as the “heart of industry”. Independent innovation makes it an important place in the world.
Dai Jishuang, chairman of Shengu Group, said that in order to break through the international technology monopoly, Shengu’s R&D investment has always accounted for more than 6% of the group’s revenue. This year, the group will continue to make breakthroughs in areas such as efficiency improvement and consumption reduction, energy recovery, and carbon utilization.
From the West-East Gas Pipeline to the petrochemical industry, Shengu’s compressors have accounted for 80% of the domestic market and have received considerable international orders. This is the epitome of China’s rising status in the global industrial chain.
Some institutions predict that China’s total economic output last year exceeded 110 trillion yuan. How to “make a big cake” while “dividing a good cake” is a world problem. China is committed to cracking.
From the Zhejiang official “Common Prosperity Demonstration Zone” document, we can expect such a future:
By 2025, in this coastal province, the annual disposable income of a resident will increase from 52,000 yuan in 2020 to 75,000 yuan. He (she) enjoys better protection for employment; it only takes 15 minutes to send the child to the kindergarten; the life expectancy will exceed 80 years; the income of tens of millions of Zhejiang people, including him (her), urban and rural residents The difference will be reduced to less than 1.9…
In recent years, Jiashan County, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province has embarked on a practical path of deep integration of urban and rural areas to promote common prosperity in accordance with local conditions. The picture shows an aerial view of Henggang Village, Yaozhuang Town, Jiashan County on July 12, 2021 (a drone photo).Photo by Xinhua News Agency reporter Xu Yu
Such a life is far from the end. According to the blueprint drawn by the Chinese leaders, China will basically realize socialist modernization by 2035 and will build a prosperous, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful modern socialist country by the middle of this century.
The world‘s largest population collective is moving towards modernization, which means that a series of exciting scenes will appear in the history of human development. It is predicted that the penetration rate of new self-driving cars in China will exceed 20% in 2030; more land will become national parks, where people will eat “ecological rice”; national reading and national fitness will become popular…
Chinese-style modernization brings unlimited imagination.
Guizhou. Once the province with the most impoverished population in China, it is now actively embracing “big data”-a key area of the new round of technological revolution. High-quality development has awakened the local “sleeping resources”-the warm winter and cool summer climate saves 10% to 30% of the power consumption of the data center; clean air effectively improves server life and stability; stable geological structure and cavernous karst The landform is an ideal data disaster recovery center… Apple, Microsoft and other companies have already settled in.
More small cities in China that were previously unknown in the world are ushering in development opportunities. They even enter the field of vision of international investors. In the new year, American entrepreneur Ray Hill intends to expand investment in third, fourth, and fifth-tier cities, “there are more possibilities there.”
China’s “comprehensive modernization” will not leave one person or nation behind.
Alan McFarlane, a professor at Cambridge University and author of “The Birth of the Modern World“, believes that the social civilization of Britain, the world‘s first modern country, is based on individualism, but China has been based on collective civilization since ancient times.
McFarlane called it “modernity with Chinese characteristics.”
The confidence for revival comes from the people
In 2021, U.S. current affairs commentator Aina Dunn visited China again. The dusty industrial parks and dilapidated houses in his memory are gone. People no longer worry about the half-empty sauce and vinegar bottles, but are more concerned about the environment, education, and looking forward to a better life.
The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is, in the final analysis, for the happiness of the people.
“Especially to understand the people-centered development thinking.” General Secretary Xi Jinping asked the CCP cadres in this way.
The pilot real estate tax reform implements the implementation of “housing to live without speculation”, the “three-child policy” to deal with the aging population, food security allows Chinese people to hold their jobs, the “dual carbon” road map outlines a more beautiful green hills, and the “double reduction” policy is strong Cracking down on chaos in education and training, telecommunications network fraud, chaos in “rice circle”, yin and yang contracts, etc. have been rectified…
How do socialist countries treat capital? The CCP proposes to “prevent the barbaric growth of capital” and set “traffic lights” for capital. It not only strictly prevents capital predators from recklessly acting, but also makes good use of capital to promote development-all with the people as the standard.
China’s rejuvenation is an arduous and arduous task, which is rare in the world and in history.
2022, challenges and opportunities coexist:
——Individual Western countries transfer contradictions to the outside world, increasing geo-risks, trade bullying and technological containment are “all tricks”…
——The world economy generally maintains a recovery trend, the digital economy accelerates, and cooperation on climate change is in the ascendant…
No matter how the international situation changes, China will unswervingly do its own thing.

The people are the creators of history and true heroes.
In the People’s War against the epidemic, the Chinese people responded with one hundred responses, united in a united manner, and built a strong barrier against the epidemic; 1 billion Chinese Internet users created unprecedented digital opportunities; more than 150 million market players developed and expanded, bringing the world‘s largest employment; the number of university students in the world First, provide strong talent support; the “double cycle” is accelerating, and the super-large-scale market is not afraid of technology wars, trade wars…
Lankao, Henan. An important task of the county party committee secretary Li Mingjun is to consolidate the results of poverty alleviation and ensure that the people do not return to poverty.
He went to the village almost every morning and chatted with the villagers. From seed cost-effectiveness to rural planning, he has to coordinate one by one-rural revitalization requires solid efforts.
As early as half a century ago, Jiao Yulu, then secretary of the Lankao County Party Committee, led the masses to struggle hard against sandstorms, salinity, and floods in order to overcome seemingly fatal poverty. Jiao Yulu paid his life for this.
Party members, cadres, and the masses share the joys and sorrows, share fate, and continue to struggle for a better life. This is the “political code” of China’s renaissance epic.

In the second half of this year, the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will be held. More than 95 million CCP members will further unify their thinking, gather strength, grasp the historical initiative, and hand in satisfactory answers to the people on the road to “new rushing for the exam.”
The CCP has established Comrade Xi Jinping as the core of the Party Central Committee and the core position of the entire party, and has established Xi Jinping’s guiding position in the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics. This reflects the common aspirations of the entire party, the army, and the people of all ethnic groups in the country.
Those who have the same desire up and down win. In China where the people are supreme, the leaders and the people interact with each other cordially, and the outside world is quite lamented.
“A big country is as great as a big country. The multitude of things are the affairs of thousands of households in the final analysis.” Xi Jinping said in his 2022 New Year’s message, “The people are worried, I must read them; the people’s place Hope, I will do it.”
Last year, Xi Jinping’s inspection footprints spread across the country. From the Bagui land where the spring is strong, to the “green pearl” Saihanba forest farm, from the rippling Qinghai Lake to the swaying reed-flowered Yellow River into the sea, he enters the village, enters the enterprise, observes the ecology, and asks the people’s livelihood. Sometimes, Xi Jinping will get off the car temporarily to check the crops and chat with the working fellows. Whenever I go to the homes of the masses, I often ask if there are any difficulties. He “keep in mind the words of his father and fellow villagers.”
When Xi Jinping inspected Fujian, the people warmly welcomed the leader who had worked here for 17 and a half years: “Go home often.” When Xi Jinping inspected Tsinghua University, the playground and the roadside were full of teachers and students. Everyone shouted in unison, “Hello General Secretary”, “Good Seniors”, and chanted “Long live the motherland”. In Chengde, Hebei, Xi Jinping bid farewell to the reluctant masses. More than 1.4 billion Chinese were twisted into a single strand to persevere on the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. “We will definitely be able to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.”
A foreign netizen left a message on a social platform: seeing this scenario, “I understand why China can quickly move to its proper position on the world stage”.
Home for mankind with a shared destiny
Venezuela, the other side of the earth. The 61-year-old cleaner Moscola’s New Year’s resolution is: The whole family is healthy. She never thought that her life would be so closely related to China. A few months ago, this diabetic patient and his colleagues were vaccinated with the Chinese vaccine. “Everyone feels safer.”
The vast majority of Venezuela’s new crown vaccine comes from China. Local economic and social activities have basically returned to their pre-epidemic levels.
So far, China has provided 2 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccine to the world, becoming the country that provides the most vaccines to the world.
On December 24, 2021, the second batch of COVID-19 vaccine provided by the Chinese government arrived in Nicaragua to help the local development of vaccination programs.

“We must defeat the epidemic and win this major struggle concerning the future and destiny of mankind.” Xi Jinping’s important speech at the UN General Assembly inspired the world.
Building a community with a shared future for mankind has become a clear banner leading the trend of the times and the direction of human progress. Zheng Bijian, president of the National Institute of Innovation and Development Strategy, said that this is “the latest and most important development of the global trend” in this decade.
He believes that the next 30 years may become a “critical stage for the gradual realization of a community with a shared future for mankind” on a global scale. The relationship between countries will gradually shift to the track of mutual respect, equal treatment, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation. “This is what the people want.”
New China, which restored its legal seat in the United Nations half a century ago, is now the country with the largest number of peacekeepers among the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. It is also actively maintaining and practicing true multilateralism and taking the lead in implementing the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The “Belt and Road” initiative, which aims to promote interconnectivity, has ushered in its 9th year. The China-Laos International Express train traverses the dense rainforest and has delivered more than 50,000 tons of cargo in less than one month after its opening; the Amur gas chemical project in the Russian Far East is advancing in the cold winter of minus 40 degrees; Piraeus, Greece is revitalized Sri Lanka is benefiting the local people with tens of thousands of job opportunities…

Although there are still 11 months to go before the Fifth China International Import Expo, Bei Lei, the executive curator of the National Pavilion of East Timor, has begun preparations for the exhibition. This small Southeast Asian country with an area of only 14,800 square kilometers also has a place at the CIIE-and has free use of the venue for four consecutive sessions.
From a lonely shelf at the beginning, it now occupies two standard booths, and there is also a robot barista “platform.” The performance of East Timor’s Expo is related to the income of local coffee farmers in the coming year-China’s opening door is also a door of hope.
Only when China is stable can the world be stable. In 2022, China will remain the stabilizer and power source of the world economy. Experts from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce predict that China’s contribution to world economic growth is expected to reach 20% this year.
This year, Russian President Putin is about to visit China. Under the leadership of the two heads of state, Sino-Russian relations have become “a model of cooperation between countries in the 21st century.” China and the United States are leading the way for the development of relations between the two countries. In the next 50 years, the most important thing in international relations is that China and the United States must find the right way to get along. Two systems and two roads can go hand in hand on this planet and coexist peacefully. The new type of international relations advocated by President Xi Jinping is winning the appreciation and recognition of more and more countries and people in the world.
In 2021, Chinese astronauts sent back a group of photos taken from space. From the photos, people see a beautiful blue planet. The common homeland of mankind is thriving.
In 2022, the red hot land of Ganzhou, Jiangxi Province. The New Year’s train sped out from here, along the Gan-Shen high-speed rail, which was opened before the full moon, towards Shenzhen, which rises on the coast of the South China Sea. The moral of the “road” story is that one end is the testimony of the CCP’s successful exploration of the revolutionary road, and the other end is the “Pioneer Demonstration Zone of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics” that represents China’s exploration of the future of mankind.
On a new journey, the Communist Party of China, which has gone through a glorious century, will unite and lead the people of the whole country to forge ahead and strive for greater victory and glory.
In the new era, China and the world are in the same boat, writing a new chapter in building a community with a shared future for mankind.
