Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), China has achieved the first centenary goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.

The achieving of moderate prosperity, or Xiaokang in Chinese, is measured in consideration of multiple aspects such as the economy, democracy, science and education, culture, society and people’s lives. The requirements include doubling the country’s 2010 GDP and per capita disposable income by 2020.

Last year, the country’s GDP exceeded 100 trillion yuan (about 15.45 trillion U.S. dollars). Its per capita disposable income hit 32,189 yuan, double the level in 2010. The country has developed the world’s largest social security system and boasts the world’s biggest middle-income group — 400 million people. In a historic feat, China has eliminated absolute poverty.

Xiaokang is a phrase about well-off life first mentioned in the Book of Songs, China’s first anthology of poems dating back more than 2,000 years. An idea cherished by the Chinese people for thousands of years has become a reality in today’s China.

The country realized Xiaokang on the whole at the end of the 20th century. In 2002, the CPC put forward the aim of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. The 18th National Congress of the CPC in 2012 set the goal of completing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects by 2020. The standards of and requirements for Xiaokang became increasingly comprehensive and strict.

The CPC stressed that no one should be left behind on the path to a Xiaokang society. In the past eight years, China focused on areas of extreme poverty, and lifted the final 98.99 million impoverished rural residents out of poverty by the end of 2020.

Over the past 40-plus years, the country has lifted 770 million people out of poverty, meeting the poverty eradication target in the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development 10 years ahead of schedule, and resolving its greatest challenge in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.

— While striving to improve the wellbeing of its own people, the CPC has also been committed to promoting the world’s common development. In his 2017 New Year speech, Xi said the Chinese people “hope for a better life for people in other countries as well as for themselves.” And he has been leading China to make that hope come true.

— As the world is facing changes unseen in a century, Xi has led China to become a staunch champion of genuine multilateralism defending the international order against such challenges as unilateralism and bullying.

— Answering the fundamental questions of what has happened to the world and how to respond, Xi offered China’s proposition: build a community with a shared future for mankind, a concept that has been enshrined in the CPC’s constitution and has also been guiding China’s interaction with the rest of the world.

BEIJING, July 1 (Xinhua) — “What we Chinese Communists are doing is to better the lives of the Chinese people, rejuvenate the Chinese nation, and promote peace and development for humanity.”

Addressing over 600 representatives of political parties from over 120 countries at a high-level dialogue in 2017, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and president of China, laid out the historic mission of the world’s largest political party.

Committed to the party’s original aspiration, Xi is leading the CPC not only to build China into a modern socialist country but to create a better shared future for the world.

DEVELOPMENT FOR ALL

A day before the official centenary of the CPC on Thursday, China, after a 70-year fight, was officially declared malaria-free by the World Health Organization, which marks the latest of the numerous achievements China has made under the CPC’s leadership.

In February, Xi announced that China, with a population larger than 1.4 billion, had secured a complete victory against poverty, which was widely acclaimed as a miracle in the human history of poverty reduction.

While striving to improve the wellbeing of its own people, the CPC has also been committed to promoting the world’s common development. In his 2017 New Year speech, Xi said the Chinese people “hope for a better life for people in other countries as well as for themselves.” And he has been leading China to make that hope come true.

Whether in the fight against malaria or in poverty alleviation, China has over the past decades extended a helping hand to others, especially developing countries.

Back in 2000, Xi, then governor of southeastern China’s Fujian Province, helped launch a pilot Juncao project to help improve the livelihood of the Papua New Guinean people.

Juncao, famed as “magic grass” and discovered by Chinese scientists, is an economical and environmentally friendly substitute for timber, which can be used as a substrate for growing mushrooms.

Eighteen years later, during Xi’s state visit to the Oceanian country, the two countries signed another aid project using the grass technology. By 2023, the aid program is expected to lift 30,000 local people out of poverty.

Today, the Juncao project has taken root in over 100 countries, helping combat poverty in developing countries in Africa, Asia and the South Pacific region.

Meanwhile, from the decades-old Canton Fair to the 3-year-old China International Import Expo and to the newly launched China International Consumer Products Expo, high-end international expos have repeatedly demonstrated China’s commitment to wider opening-up and mutual benefits.

“China cannot be separated from the world in achieving development, and the world also needs China for prosperity,” Xi said at the 20th meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in Beijing via video link.

FORCE FOR PEACE

When he visited the UN headquarters in the fall of 2015, Xi brought a gift for the United Nations’ 70th birthday — “Zun of Peace,” a red bronze bottle decorated by traditional Chinese auspicious patterns.

It shows the aspiration and faith of the Chinese people in seeking peace, development, cooperation and win-win results, which are also spirits of the UN Charter, Xi explained.

Under the CPC’s leadership, China is marching towards the second centenary goal — to build China into a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious and beautiful by 2049, the centenary of the People’s Republic of China.

“China the lion has awakened, but it is a peaceful, amicable and civilized lion,” Xi said in 2014 at a gathering marking the 50th anniversary of the establishment of China-France diplomatic relations, stressing that the Chinese Dream is about pursuing peace, questing for happiness, and contributing to the common good of the world.

Today, China is the second largest contributor to the UN peacekeeping budget, and has sent more peacekeepers to UN missions than any other permanent member of the UN Security Council.

“Countries, whether big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, should all contribute their share to maintaining and enhancing peace,” Xi said in April 2013 at the opening plenary of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference, the first multilateral diplomatic event he hosted as Chinese president.

As the world is facing changes unseen in a century, Xi has led China to become a staunch champion of genuine multilateralism defending the international order against such challenges as unilateralism and bullying.

There is no better choice for world countries other than strengthening multilateral cooperation in the face of one global challenge after another, Xi told UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on the sidelines of the G20 summit held in Buenos Aires in November 2018.

SHARED FUTURE FOR MANKIND

Mankind is in an era of major development as well as profound transformation and change, and is also in an era of numerous challenges and increasing risks, Xi noted in his 2017 landmark speech at the United Nations Office at Geneva.

Answering the fundamental questions of what has happened to the world and how to respond, Xi offered China’s proposition: build a community with a shared future for mankind, a concept that has been enshrined in the CPC’s constitution and has also been guiding China’s interaction with the rest of the world.

In face of the unprecedented COVID-19 threat, China, the world’s largest developing country, has effectively put the disease under control at home, and has meanwhile spared no effort to help other countries.

In 2020, Xi promised that Chinese COVID-19 vaccines, when available, “will be made a global public good.” Now despite a tight supply and huge domestic demand, China has provided over 450 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines for the international community, and is continuing to help ensure vaccine accessibility and affordability worldwide.

Xi’s vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind offers not only a new solution to global challenges, but also a new perspective on world civilizations.

While in the West there has been such rhetoric as the clash of civilizations or the superiority of one civilization over another, in Xi’s eyes, the development of a civilization is sustained by exchanges and mutual learning.

That is in line with the future of the world he has been leading the CPC to strive for — an open, inclusive, clean and beautiful one that enjoys lasting peace, universal security, and common prosperity.

“Countries may have differences and even encounter problems with each other,” said Xi. “But we should not forget that we all live under the same sky, share one and the same home planet and belong to one and the same family.”

WINDHOEK, June 27 (Xinhua) — The “people-centered” development concept of the Communist Party of China (CPC) has benefited “not only the Chinese people but also the people of the world,” said Sam Nujoma, founding president of Namibia.

In a recent interview with Chinese media, Nujoma congratulated General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping and the CPC Central Committee on the party’s 100th anniversary, lauding its glorious history and the great achievements China has scored.

The 92-year-old Namibian veteran politician said China has been among the world’s fastest-growing economies, and the CPC has guided the country to make notable achievements in the fight against COVID-19 and poverty, as well as in the country’s economic and social development.

Speaking of the COVID-19 pandemic, Nujoma said it is a common threat to the whole humanity, and China has placed great importance on providing bilateral and multilateral assistance to other affected countries.

“We sincerely thank China for providing invaluable support and batches of epidemic prevention supplies to African countries and parties in their fight against the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Nujoma, who is also the founder of the South West Africa People’s Organization, better known as the SWAPO party of Namibia.

Due to the severity of this pandemic, global solidarity is necessary, Nujoma said.

“With the direction of global development and the future of humanity in mind,” China has put forward “the vision to build a community with a shared future for mankind and foster a new type of international relations.”

“The vision has broadened and deepened the concept and practice of multilateralism in the new era, and gained high acclaim and wide support from the international community,” he added.

Noting that inter-party exchanges are an effective way to promote peace and development and improve global governance, Nujoma said Namibia’s ruling party SWAPO looks forward to further strengthening friendly exchanges and deepening communication on governance experience with the CPC, thus to make more contributions to world stability and prosperity.

“We believe that China, under the leadership of the CPC, will definitely move toward a brighter future and make a greater contribution to the development of human society,” he said. (Video reporter: Wu Changwei; Video editor: Zhang Qiru)■

The visit of Xi came less than a month before the world’s largest Marxist party, which has seen its membership explode from 50-plus individuals to more than 95 million, celebrates its centennial.
Over the past century, the Party has transformed the once shattered and impoverished country into the world’s second-largest economy. The CPC has led China to achieve miracles of rapid economic growth and long-term social stability, which has had profound global implications.
Under the CPC’s leadership, the modernization goal that the Chinese people, such as Sonam Tsering, have been striving toward is no longer out of reach.
Western political theories fall short in explaining the CPC’s success. For a party that has remained committed to serving the people, the country’s 1.4 billion citizens are an inexhaustible source of strength.
A PARTY OF “OUR OWN”
The CPC is substantially different from Western-style political parties. In a nutshell, it is viewed by the Chinese people as “a party of our own.”
Born in the early 20th century, a period when the downtrodden Chinese people were struggling against foreign invasions and internal divisions, the CPC established its original aspiration and mission — to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. The Party has been translating the needs of the people into concrete actions ever since.
CPC members have vowed to fight for the freedom, democracy and happiness of the people. Through their sacrifices, they have played a pioneering and exemplary role, with their influence transcending the boundaries of space and time. Committed to the cause, they have never gone back on their word.
Li Dazhao, one of the main founders of the CPC and also a man of great learning, was arrested, imprisoned and tortured in 1927. At the age of 38, Li, whose articles had inspired millions of Chinese youths, remained steadfast in his beliefs even in the face of death at the hands of a warlord. The gallows where he was hanged have been enshrined as the No. 0001 cultural relic of the National Museum of China.
Data shows that as many as 3.7 million CPC members sacrificed their lives from 1921 to 1949 in striving for the establishment of the people’s republic. This figure does not include countless such individuals who died anonymous deaths.

This spirit of sacrifice has been carried forward by Chinese Communists in the country’s latest efforts to battle both extreme poverty and the COVID-19 epidemic. More than 39 million CPC members and cadres fought against COVID-19 on the front lines, of whom nearly 400 lost their lives, according to official figures.

Fully aware that poverty is incompatible with socialism, the CPC led the Chinese people to initiate reform and opening up, which changed the fate of countless individuals. Among them are Mo Yan, the peasant-turned-Nobel laureate, and Nan Cunhui, the billionaire who was once a roadside cobbler.
From 1949 to 2019, China’s per capita disposable income grew at an average annual rate of 6.1 percent in real terms.
The CPC leaders have been consistent with their people-centered philosophy. As early as 1934 when the CPC-led Red Army fought against the ruling Kuomintang party to liberate the Chinese people, Mao Zedong pointed out that “We must … solve the problems facing the masses — food, shelter and clothing, fuel, rice, cooking oil and salt, sickness and hygiene, and marriage.”
“In short, all the practical problems in the masses’ everyday life should claim our attention,” Mao said. Following through on his commitment, he declared the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949.
Decades later, echoing Mao’s words, Xi repeatedly stressed that “the people’s aspiration for a better life is our goal.”
“No matter where our Party cadres are, they will always ask the villagers ‘What kind of good life do you expect to have?'” Xi said during his tour of Qinghai. “Let’s work together for a better life.”
Issues related to people’s livelihoods, including employment, income distribution, education, social security, medical care, housing, elderly care, childcare and food safety, all weigh heavily on Xi’s mind.
China has declared a war against pollution, as “lucid waters and lush mountains” are demanded by the people. The country has announced its ambition to peak its carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. Data shows that China has contributed a quarter of humanity-caused greening between 2000 and 2017.
The CPC has made it clear to all that the greatest political achievement for itself is improving the well-being of the people.
INSEPARABLE, INVINCIBLE
In the 1930s, Edgar Snow visited Yan’an, the then center of the Chinese Communist revolution, where the American journalist found “a rocklike solidarity” among the people of the region led by the CPC. The Red Army, though ragged and poorly armed, had a charm that made them invincible.
The unity between the people and the Party observed by Snow has remained unbreakable. In old times, people volunteered to provide food to the revolutionary soldiers and even dismantled their own wooden doors to make stretchers for the fallen.
In the fight against COVID-19, hundreds of millions of Chinese citizens have responded to the call of the Party and the government to quarantine themselves to prevent the spread of the virus. The engines of the “world’s factory” have been roaring and the country’s daily mask production capacity rapidly exceeded 100 million.
Today, CPC members can be easily found in all walks of life, including workers, farmers, students, private entrepreneurs, Chinese employees of foreign companies and internet influencers. Despite their different ages and jobs, they all “serve the people” — the most concise and accurate summary of the fundamental purpose of the CPC.
The Chinese people recognize the good governance of the CPC in their own ways: People raised red banners to express their gratitude to earthquake rescuers; Children stood on tiptoe to offer water to flood fighters; Octogenarians bowed to anti-epidemic medical convoys; Villagers in Xinjiang presented flowers to cadres who had helped them eradicate extreme poverty.
A report from Harvard University in 2020 showed that the Chinese people’s overall satisfaction with the government exceeded 93 percent.
The “mass line,” a methodology of the CPC that requires its members to stay close to the people, has been written into the Party’s Constitution. The CPC believes in pooling people’s wisdom and power.

The east China village of Xiaogang is widely hailed as “China’s number one reform village.” Back in 1978, 18 farmers in the poverty-stricken village took great risks in secretly signing an agreement to contract collective land to individual households. The household contract responsibility system that derived from Xiaogang was spread nationwide in a few years. The history of Xiaogang is widely cited as an example of the CPC pooling grassroots wisdom to solve national problems.
China’s “whole-process democracy,” a hallmark of socialist democracy that distinguishes it from Western political systems, runs through all processes including elections, decision-making, administration and supervision. All major decision-making is procedure-based and follows democratic deliberations.
In the formulation of the Party leadership’s proposals for formulating the 14th Five-Year Plan, extensive solicitations of comments and suggestions from various sectors were held. Online solicitations also received over 1 million comments within a matter of weeks.
A total of 546 comments and suggestions were finally reflected in the proposals, a drafting process which Xi called “a vivid example of the CPC’s intraparty democracy and China’s socialist democracy.”
The Party, which believes that China has no need for the model of democracy found in the West, has established a democracy that suits the country itself.
NEVER-ENDING SELF-IMPROVEMENT
Over the past century, the Party has constantly adapted to the changing circumstances with policy changes — one latest such shift being China’s adoption of the three-child policy to improve the demographic structure of the world’s most populous country.
But one thing that remains unchanged is the CPC’s bond with the Chinese people, a relationship often described as being as “inseparable as fish and water.”
The Party sees corruption as the “greatest threat” to its survival and its relationship with the Chinese people.
In 1952, Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan, two corrupt senior Party officials, were executed in China, demonstrating the early anti-corruption determination of the CPC. This determination remains to the present day.
In recent years, the CPC’s anti-graft watchdog has ousted corrupt officials all the way from low-level “flies” to high-ranking “tigers.”
The investigation of Zhou Yongkang, a former member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, came as a shock to some outsiders who had doubted the CPC’s anti-corruption campaign would ever extend its reach to such heights.
When a grassroots-level government employee failed to pay for two apples from a local salesman in Shandong Province in 2015, he was disciplined. Yet this was not a case of making a mountain out of a molehill, as shown by a well-known anecdote of Mao. In 1948, when China was beset by civil war, the Communist army chose not to take a single apple from civilians, as “they were apples of the people,” according to Mao.
Underlying this commitment, Xi urged all CPC members to have the resolve and tenacity to persevere in the “never-ending” fight against corruption. In 2020, around 604,000 people were disciplined by China’s top anti-graft body.
The Party not only ensures it remains principled and professional but also guarantees it stands on the cutting edge of the times.
At the launch meeting of a recent campaign on Party history learning and education, Xi stressed the importance of maintaining the Party’s tight bond with the people. The campaign was the latest of the CPC’s efforts to unify its members’ thought, enhance discipline and boost their morale as they march ever forward.
Having embarked on a new journey, the CPC is leading the Chinese people to build China into a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious and beautiful by the centenary of the People’s Republic of China. This will be the largest modernization drive achieved through peaceful development in the history of humanity.

Recently, three Chinese astronauts, all CPC members, flew into space and entered the in-orbit space station core module Tianhe, which will be their home for the next three months.
Foreign astronauts are welcomed to cooperate with their Chinese counterparts after the construction of China’s space station is completed, an embodiment of the CPC’s concept of “a community with a shared future for humanity.”
While a century of glory has been recorded in the annals of history, the CPC stands ready to write a new chapter for the people and by the people. Enditem

JERUSALEM, June 26 (Xinhua) — The Communist Party of China (CPC) has been committed to satisfying the common needs and interests of the Chinese people, a key reason why the CPC is able to embrace its 100th anniversary with full confidence, said Issam Makhoul, member of the political bureau and former general secretary of the Communist Party of Israel.

Recalling his two visits to China in 2006 and 2018 respectively, Makhoul said he was deeply impressed by the changes in the country as he saw a more flourishing, modern and technologically developed country during the second trip.

Having witnessed China’s efforts to raise people’s living standards, Makhoul said he appreciated the country’s historical process to become fully modern and developed.

Hailing the idea of “socialism with Chinese characteristics,” Makhoul expressed belief that at the core of Marxism is a socialism that develops in accordance with the changing historical, cultural, and social context of a specific place.

Under the leadership of the CPC, the Chinese people are moving towards the long-range objectives through 2035 and the goal of building a great modern socialist country by 2050.

“This is a very important promise not for the Chinese people alone but for the whole of humanity,” he said.

China has been promoting a new type of international relations featuring mutual respect, fairness and justice, and win-win cooperation, he said, adding that he appreciates China’s vision represents a new way of thinking about international relations highlighting “shared interests.”

The concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind and the joint construction of the Belt and Road reflect a harmony of interests and will benefit the world, said Makhoul. ■
