"Have the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China", "Have the remarkable advantages of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics", "Have a solid foundation for sustained and rapid development and accumulation", "Have a long-term stable social environment" and "Have the spiritual strength of self-confidence and self-improvement".
This profound analysis not only answers why we are successful in the new era, but also reveals how we can continue to be successful in the future.
Facing the future, no matter how the international situation changes, we must strengthen our confidence to walk our own way and do our own affairs well, promote high-quality development without stopping, and take a sense of responsibility of "always rest assured" to seize high-level safety and not relax. , to prevent all kinds of "black swan" and "gray rhino" incidents from happening.

Dangerous shoals, heading for a more magnificent future!
