China News Agency reporter: On the centennial of the Chinese Communist Party, how do you evaluate the Chinese Communist Party’s ability to govern?

Dong Jianhua:

At the historical moment of the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China, we need to have a review, a closer look, and a prospect: looking back at the disasters and disasters of our nation when the CCP founded the party a hundred years ago; looking closely at today’s 1.4 billion compatriots who have worked tirelessly to create miracles in the world ; Looking forward to the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 2049, what glory the Chinese people will create with one heart!

My confidence comes not only from the unity and struggle of the Chinese people, but also from the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China.

　　"Facts" are the best commentators. Only by looking at China's development objectively from a historical perspective can we correctly evaluate the Chinese Communist Party's ability to govern.

What was China like a hundred years ago?

Poverty and weakness, and great powers waiting around, the dignified great power of China has become the "sick man of East Asia."

After the founding of the Communist Party of China, it has gone through thousands of miles and thousands of hardships, leading several generations of Chinese people through a difficult and tortuous road.

　　Facts speak louder than words, and the whole world is there for all to see: The Chinese Communist Party has led the most populous country on the earth, from being poor to a well-off society, and lifting 800 million people out of poverty; the country has been broken by mountains and rivers, and has developed into the world’s second largest economy and the world’s largest manufacturing industry A large country, the largest country in trade in goods, and the largest country in foreign exchange reserves.

According to surveys conducted by polling agencies in Western countries, the Chinese people's support for the government continues to exceed 90%.

These iron and steel facts are the most objective evaluation of the Chinese Communist Party's ability to govern.

　　Over the past four decades, China has also achieved sustainable economic development, sustainable social stability, and sustainable political system construction.

The three "sustainable" results are that people's lives are getting better and better every day.

Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the leadership of the Party Central Committee with Xi Jinping at its core, 1.4 billion people have been united in one mind, constantly striving for self-improvement, and moving forward toward the goals of national prosperity, national rejuvenation, and people's happiness.

Practice has proved that the leadership of the Communist Party of China is an indispensable force for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

A reporter from China News Service: You once said in an interview with our agency that you felt that "The ruling party of the Communist Party of China is always listening to the voices of the people, knowing that what you are doing is for the people. This is a very successful one Matter", can you elaborate on this view in more detail?

Dong Jianhua: The

Communist Party of China was founded 100 years ago for the people. The founding of New China clearly meant a "people's republic".

The original intention is not forgotten. Today, one hundred years later, President Xi Jinping’s governance philosophy is to "gover for the people", and we must always put the interests of the people in mind and put the first place in all work.

Everyone often sees on television that every time there is an earthquake, flood, or the new crown epidemic, Communist Party members always rush to the front, and officials at all levels always take the lead.

These are news fragments that can be seen, and more of an invisible governance philosophy, that is, before the implementation of every policy, the welfare of the people is the first consideration.

　　The historical mission of the Communist Party to "rule for the people" is everlasting.

Every era always has its own unique challenges and opportunities, and every generation also has their commitments and expectations.

The Communist Party of China is constantly overcoming challenges, creating opportunities, and improving people's lives.

This requires scientific research and judgment ability, extraordinary planning ability, flexible overall planning ability, comprehensive organization ability, and efficient execution ability.

The success of our country's "Five-Year Plan" and the results of the fight against the new crown epidemic reflect the overall governance capabilities of the ruling party and prove the tremendous advantages of the Chinese system.

The "Governance for the People" under the leadership of the Communist Party is not a campaign slogan in Western elections, but a program of action to fight wholeheartedly.

　　I have the honor to participate in the work of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference for a long time and I have a deep understanding of this.

The greatest advantage of China's CPPCC system is that under the unified leadership of the CCP, the wisdom and strength of all walks of life and strata of society can be gathered to the greatest extent to promote the country's "incremental development."

The system design of deliberative democracy has enabled China to move forward firmly on the basis of its national conditions and development needs, towards the great goal of national rejuvenation.

Reporter from China News Service: The Chinese Communist Party has also encountered twists and turns in its long-term governance. How do you evaluate the CCP’s ability to step out of the twists and turns and strive to achieve national prosperity?

Dong Jianhua:

The Communist Party of China is one of the political parties that have been in power for the longest time in the world. It has not copied others in its entirety. It has never blindly imitated it. Instead, it combines China's actual conditions and continuously explores to find a socialist road that suits China's national conditions.

A century-old party can be prosperous and vigorous, and it is hard to come by.

According to my observation, there are two main points in the key.

　　The Communist Party of China is a vibrant party that constantly learns, constantly improves itself, and keeps moving forward.

Since the founding of the party in 1921, the Communist Party has seen many twists and turns on the road of leading the revolution and even governance, but it can always rely on its own mechanism to set things right and break new paths.

Historical practice has proved that the CCP has extraordinary self-correction capabilities and institutional innovation capabilities.

　　The Communist Party of China is also an open political party with "all rivers meeting the sea, tolerance is great".

The Communist Party of China was led by the working class in the early days of its founding. It was based on the alliance of workers and peasants. Now it absorbs all ethnic groups and sectors, and represents the interests of the entire Chinese people.

This open and inclusive spirit has enabled the CCP to get rid of the narrow interest concepts of Western parties and lead the entire nation from standing up, getting rich, and getting stronger.

　　And to be more beautiful, NASA has also reported that China has made the world's first contribution to the global greening process.

Our country will become more and more beautiful, the beauty of civilization and the beauty of soul.

China News Service: In recent years, Hong Kong has encountered unprecedented challenges. How do you view these challenges?

Will this affect Hong Kong's important international position and the stability and long-term development of "One Country, Two Systems"?

Tung Chee-hwa: A

series of turmoil in Hong Kong in recent years has had a great impact on the rule of law and people's livelihood, and has also exacerbated social tearing.

However, it can be seen that apart from the deep-rooted social contradictions of Hong Kong’s microclimate, it is also inseparable from the global climate of geopolitical changes in the new era. The hidden dangers left by the British Hong Kong government and the intervention of external forces have made Hong Kong’s challenges in the past two years beyond the SAR. The processing power of the government.

If it were not for the central government to clear the source and act decisively, Hong Kong might face a deteriorating crisis.

　　At the critical moment of right and wrong, the central government is determined to maintain the "one country, two systems" constitutional order, based on the concept of governing for the people, and based on the purpose of safeguarding the well-being of Hong Kong citizens, making research, judgments and deployments from a strategic and overall perspective.

First, the National Security Law is used to stop violence and chaos, and then through the improvement of the electoral system, to ensure that patriots rule Hong Kong, which provides a solid foundation for Hong Kong's long-term stability and enables Hong Kong to embark on a road from chaos to governance, from governance to prosperity.

　　"One country, two systems" gives Hong Kong the most powerful institutional advantage. It not only protects Hong Kong's capitalist system, safeguards its status as an international financial center and an international business center, but also allows Hong Kong to catch the national economic express, fully integrate into the development of the Greater Bay Area, and integrate into the development of the country. The overall situation is to expand the prospects of a science and technology center, and complement and coordinate development with the mainland's advantages.

With such advantages, I have full confidence in Hong Kong.

The international community will eventually understand that the Hong Kong issue is purely China's internal affairs, and respect and appreciate the necessary measures and good intentions of the Chinese government for the stability and long-term development of "One Country, Two Systems".

Reporter from China News Service: On the centenary of the Communist Party of China, what are your expectations for the youth of Hong Kong and what are your messages?

Dong Jianhua:

The history of the past 100 years has fully demonstrated a truth. Our country has developed from poverty and weakness to harmony and stability, and the country is strong and the people are prosperous. This is the result of the struggle of the Chinese Communist Party leading the people of the whole country.

　　In the past, young people in Hong Kong always "looked up" to the West unconsciously, and did not have a thorough understanding of their own national culture and national development.

Now, I want to borrow the words of President Xi to tell the young people in Hong Kong that China can already "look up at the world."

Young people should look up, look at the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland, look at the historical achievements of an all-round well-off, look at the perseverance epic of fighting the epidemic, look at the Martian photos of "Tianwen No. 1", look at the 1.4 billion people The ordinary and moving Chinese dream.

　　The hundred-year journey has been magnificent and everlasting.

From looking up to the world, what a humble request is, what an exciting struggle behind it, what a great leap, and what an exciting achievement.

Today's young people should be proud to be participants, contributors and fulfillers of the Chinese Dream in their positions.
