China's development is a great cause that belongs to the progress of all mankind

  Guo Jiping

  Modernization embodies human's yearning for a happy life and condenses the diligent pursuit of development and revitalization of all countries.

  On November 29, 2012, shortly after the conclusion of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping and the new Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee came to the National Museum to visit the exhibition "Road to Rejuvenation".

A picture, a chart, a real object, a video... The magnificent struggle of the Chinese people in modern times is vividly remembered, and the magnificent picture of the Chinese nation's rejuvenation is slowly unfolding.

  Looking back at the past, General Secretary Xi Jinping is full of pride: "I firmly believe that by the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way will definitely be achieved, and by the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the goal of building a modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious will certainly be achieved. If it is realized, the dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will surely be realized.”

  Time goes by, witnessing historical changes.

The loud and heroic declaration has turned into a strenuous stride forward, and it has become a visible and tangible development achievement.

In the land of China, the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way has been achieved as scheduled, and the cause of the party and the country has made historic achievements and undergone historic changes.

The new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way has begun.

  Marx said: "What a nation does as a nation is what they do for human society." The brilliant achievements and bright prospects of Chinese-style modernization show the world that there is no such thing as one in the world. There is no one-size-fits-all modernization standard in the modernization model.

  Focusing on the new journey, China will unswervingly follow its own path and unswervingly do its own affairs well. It will surely write a new glorious chapter of Chinese-style modernization, and will surely contribute more Chinese wisdom, Chinese solutions, and solutions to major human problems. Chinese power.

(1) "Created a new form of human civilization"

  In November 2021, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China deliberated and passed the "Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party's Centennial Struggle".

  The achievements and contributions of the Communist Party of China are not only historical, but also worldwide.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Our party led the people not only to create the two miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability that are rare in the world, but also successfully walked out of the Chinese-style modernization path and created a new form of human civilization."

  Since modern times, modernization has become a significant symbol of the development and progress of human civilization.

However, how to define development and progress and how to achieve development and progress is an open proposition that needs to be constantly reviewed with the evolution of the times.

  In the new era, China makes a pioneering answer to the "question of modernization": abandoning the modernization of the West centered on capital, polarized modernization, modernization of materialistic expansion, and modernization of foreign expansion and plundering, and is determined to realize the modernization of a huge population and all the people. The modernization of common prosperity, the modernization in which material civilization and spiritual civilization are coordinated, the modernization in which man and nature coexist in harmony, and the modernization in which the path of peaceful development is taken.

  British historian Toynbee once predicted: "If China can blaze a new trail in social and economic strategic choices, then it will prove itself capable of providing the world with gifts that both China and the world need." Today, China's successful promotion and expansion of Chinese-style modernization has long gone beyond the scope of one country and has far-reaching global significance.

  Chinese-style modernization completely rewrites the modernized world map.

  "Our world's largest developing country has achieved modernization, which means that more Chinese people than all developed countries combined will enter the ranks of modernization, and its impact will be worldwide." China's thinking on modernization in the new era, Never out of the world dimension.

  After 10 years of struggle, the "world influence" of Chinese-style modernization is being presented to the world in a more intuitive way——

  In 2021, China's GDP will reach 114.4 trillion yuan, accounting for more than 18% of the world economy;

  The urbanization rate exceeds 60%, and the middle-income group exceeds 400 million people, making it the country with the largest middle-income group in the world;

  Build the world's largest social security system, with basic medical insurance covering 1.36 billion people and basic pension insurance covering more than 1 billion people;

  The battle against poverty has won an overall victory, and the poverty reduction goal of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has been achieved 10 years ahead of schedule...

  In almost all development indicators, China, with a population of more than 1.4 billion, needs to make more efforts than other countries for every step forward, and the changes it brings to the world are not comparable to other countries.

  Compared with the "serial" modernization process of industrialization, urbanization, agricultural modernization, and informatization in Western countries, Chinese-style modernization has the characteristics of "parallel" mode, and it has taken several decades to go through hundreds of years or even in Western developed countries. Hundreds of years of development.

  Throughout the post-World War II world history, many developing countries have fallen into development dilemmas by copying the old Western modernization path when they are looking for their own development path.

Because of this, China is regarded by more countries as the world's largest laboratory for economic and social change, providing inspiration for the development and revitalization of various countries.

  Chinese-style modernization expands the way for mankind to modernize.

  Only by looking at the present with the long lens of history and the world with the wide-angle lens of development can we truly understand the deep impact of Chinese-style modernization on the progress of human civilization.

  When Western countries took the lead in boarding the train of modernization, and when Western powers opened the door to "the rest of the world" with their powerful ships and cannons, the so-called "modernization is Westernization" myth began to spread.

  However, frequent financial crises, severe economic recessions, intensified polarization, and prominent social contradictions... Some Western countries that once led the world in modernization development are also facing many development and governance problems.

The necessity and urgency of developing countries to independently explore their own modernization path are more prominent.

  Looking at the long history, looking at the laws of development, and based on the land of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping is at the helm of Chinese-style modernization.

  The direction determines the road, and the road determines the destiny.

The dream of a well-off society will come true, the society will be harmonious, the people will be happy, and the cause of modernization will continue to advance to a new level.

The extraordinary achievements of Chinese-style modernization have not only made the Chinese people full of confidence in their own development path, but also made the Chinese wisdom of "persisting on their own path" valued by more countries.

  Leaders of political parties in many countries said that China has created "two miracles", ending the "end of history" with indisputable facts, and providing a new reference for developing countries to independently explore a development path that suits their national conditions.

  Chinese-style modernization makes scientific socialism full of vigor and vitality.

  The Chinese Communist Party and World Marxist Political Parties Forum held not long ago attracted representatives from more than 100 Marxist political parties, left-wing political parties and political organizations from more than 70 countries.

The participants expressed a common feeling - the success of China in the new era is also the success of scientific socialism.

  In his congratulatory letter to the forum, Díaz-Canel, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the State, pointed out that China's achievements are an inspiration and spur to other countries, and provide important experience for the world's socialist countries.

  It has developed from a poor and two white country to the second largest economy in the world, from a backward agricultural country to the world's largest manufacturing country, from insufficient food and clothing to an all-round well-off... The great development of Chinese-style modernization has made scientific socialism the most populous in the world. of countries successfully blazed the right path with a high degree of realism and feasibility.

  Why the Communist Party of China can, and why socialism with Chinese characteristics is so good, in the final analysis, is Marxism.

Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is contemporary Chinese Marxism, 21st century Marxism, and the essence of Chinese culture and Chinese spirit. Send a strong voice of the times to the international community.

  "Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the creative application and development of Marxism in China. "Xi Jinping: The Governance of the Country" embodies the essence of the Communist Party of China." At a book report held by the Chinese Cultural Center in Berlin, German scholar Addo Fei's reading and sharing attracted many listeners.

Somma Pholsena, Vice Chairman of the Lao National Assembly, read the fourth volume of "Xi Jinping: The Governance of the Country" for the first time, hoping to apply the experience of governance and administration learned from it to the national construction of Laos.

  History is like a tide, and the road is like a pillar.

On the new journey, China will surely make greater contributions to the progress of human civilization and the development of world socialism, so that this just and promising cause will shine even more dazzlingly.

(2) "The 'bigger of the country' is the happy life of the people"

  On November 15, 2012, flowers were in full bloom in the East Hall of the Great Hall of the People.

The newly elected member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the 18th CPC Central Committee met with Chinese and foreign journalists for the first time here.

  "The people's yearning for a better life is our goal." General Secretary Xi Jinping's solemn declaration expresses the original aspiration of a century-old party and anchors the value direction of Chinese-style modernization.

  The greatness of the world is based on Li Yuan.

The new era is a great era that belongs to every Chinese.

The little changes in the daily life of all Chinese people have converged into a surging wave of Chinese-style modernization, which has opened up a new realm of people-centeredness for the modernization of mankind.

  ——“Only by adhering to the people-centered development thinking, insisting that development is for the people, development depends on the people, and development results are shared by the people, can we have a correct concept of development and modernization.”

  On April 25, 2021, in Maozhushan Village, Caiwan Town, Quanzhou County, Guilin City, Guangxi, a special guest came to the house of Wang Deli, a villager.

  "General Secretary, you are usually so busy and come to see us. Thank you very much."

  "I am busy with these things. The 'bigger of the country' is the happy life of the people."

  "The greatness of a great country also has the weight of a great country. In the final analysis, there are thousands of things that matter to thousands of households." In the new era, China has educated children, learned and taught, worked with income, and received medical treatment for illnesses. Support the old, live there, support the weak and continue to work hard——

  In 2021, the gross enrollment rate of higher education will reach 57.8%, and the average life expectancy will reach 78.2 years; from 2012 to 2021, the per capita disposable income of national residents will increase from 16,510 yuan to 35,128 yuan, and the average annual growth rate will outperform the economic growth rate; In 2021, the Engel coefficient of national residents will be 29.8%, reaching the standard of abundance defined by the United Nations...

  Today, China is promoting the great cause of Chinese-style modernization by doing a good job of "doing things for thousands of households".

  Former Polish Deputy Prime Minister Gerzegorz Kovodko concluded from China's practice: "The Chinese Communist Party's adherence to the people-centered development philosophy and the support of the people are the keys to China's continuous development achievements."

  ——“We can’t wait for the realization of modernization to solve the problem of common prosperity, but we must always take meeting the people’s new expectations for a better life as the starting point and end point of development, and solve this problem continuously and gradually in the process of realizing modernization. ."

  Looking around the world, the problem of income inequality is prominent, the rich and the poor are divided in some countries, and the middle class has collapsed, leading to social tearing, political polarization, and populism. The lessons are very profound.

  The way to govern a country starts with enriching the people.

Chinese-style modernization is socialist modernization, and common prosperity has been the goal of struggle from the very beginning.

  In the depths of the Taihang Mountains, where the weather is cold and the ground is frozen, I visit and console the people in need against the wind and snow; in the middle of Gansu, where "barrenness and suffering are the best in the world", I go around the nine bends and eighteen bends and enter the farmhouse; Going deep into the hinterland of Daliangshan... Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in order to win the battle against poverty, General Secretary Xi Jinping has traveled all over the country in 14 concentrated and contiguous destitute areas and inspected more than 20 impoverished villages.

  In the new era, China puts the gradual realization of common prosperity for all its people in a more important position, promotes coordinated regional development, takes effective measures to ensure and improve people's livelihood, win the battle against poverty, and build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, creating favorable conditions for promoting common prosperity.

Now, it has reached the historical stage of solidly promoting common prosperity.

  The new picture guides new actions: By the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan", solid steps will be taken for the common prosperity of all the people, and the gap between residents' income and actual consumption levels will gradually narrow; by 2035, the common prosperity of all the people will achieve more substantial progress By the middle of this century, the common prosperity of all people will be basically achieved, and the gap between residents' income and actual consumption levels will be narrowed to a reasonable range.

  The common prosperity pursued by Chinese-style modernization has a richer connotation: to enrich the material and spiritual life of the people.

  In the Chinese New Year of the Year of the Tiger in Renyin, Beijing writes the legend of "The City of Double Olympics".

From the simple and agile "A Snowflake" and "Micro Torch", to the "Bing Dun Dun" and "Snow Rong Rong", the world has seen a different China through the Beijing Winter Olympics: more confident and more calm , more open.

  "Spirit is the soul of a nation's long-term survival. Only when it reaches a certain height can the nation stand firm and move forward bravely in the torrent of history." Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has always The future of the country and the destiny of the nation should be grasped from the height of the construction of spiritual civilization.

  Establish and improve the party and national meritorious honor system, set up a martyr's day, promote the construction of a great learning country, increase the protection of cultural heritage, and improve the public cultural service system... 10 years in the new era, it is the Chinese spirit, Chinese values, and Chinese power. 10 years of meteorology.

  International observers sighed that the current high spirit of the Chinese people is not only due to the achievements of economic development, but also because of the profound cultural accumulation and the sense of historical mission of "finding one's own place in the world".

  —— "The environment is people's livelihood, the green mountains are beautiful, and the blue sky is happiness. We must protect the ecological environment like protecting our eyes, and treat the ecological environment like life."

  In December 2012, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly expounded on the construction of ecological civilization in the process of modernization when he inspected Guangdong: "We will build a modern country and take the old road of the United States and Europe.

  Chinese-style modernization cannot "follow the old road", not only because conditions do not allow it, but also because the people do not agree.

Entering the new era, the main contradiction in Chinese society has transformed, and the people are eagerly looking forward to clean air, clean water, and beautiful mountains and rivers.

  The construction of ecological civilization is incorporated into the "five-in-one" overall layout of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Adhering to the harmonious coexistence of man and nature has become an integral part of the basic strategy for upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Green has become an important aspect of the new development concept. Pollution prevention and control has become an important battle in the tough battle, and the word "beauty" has been written into the goal of building a modern socialist country... Over the past 10 years, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has taken a far-sighted view and has made unprecedented efforts to build ecological civilization, and China's ecological and environmental protection has occurred. The historic, turning and overall changes have changed the world's outdated impression of China's development.

  General Secretary Xi Jinping personally promoted the implementation of the overall plan and long-term strategy - in the Aershan forest area of ​​Inner Mongolia, he encouraged everyone to "contribute to the country by planting trees and watching forests now"; in Guilin, Guangxi, he emphasized that we must take good care of Guilin's landscape; In Qinghai Sanjiangyuan, it was warned that the "China Water Tower" could not be exchanged for a temporary GDP...

  September 22, 2020, a historic moment in global climate governance.

President Xi Jinping solemnly declared to the world China's green development ambitions on the United Nations platform: "China will increase its nationally determined contribution, adopt more powerful policies and measures, strive to peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030, and strive to achieve the goal by 2060. carbon neutral."

  People live up to the green hills, and the green hills will certainly live up to people.

Today, the successful experience of China's ecological civilization construction is playing a greater role in building a clean and beautiful world.

According to John Cobb Jr., an academician of the National Academy of Humanities, "China has brought light of hope to the construction of global ecological civilization."

(3) "A political development path of socialism with Chinese characteristics"

  Political civilization is an important dimension of the development of human society, and it is the proper meaning of modernization.

  On November 2, 2019, when General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the Gubei Civic Center, Hongqiao Street, Changning District, Shanghai, a unique consultation meeting on draft laws was in progress.

"We are following a path of socialist political development with Chinese characteristics, and people's democracy is a democracy in the whole process." General Secretary Xi Jinping's earnest words expressed the characteristics and true meaning of China's socialist democratic politics.

  Democracy is the common value of all mankind.

How to effectively implement democracy?

How to ensure the benign interaction between democratic development, political stability and social progress?

This is a key issue that cannot be avoided by the modernization of all countries.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has deepened its understanding of the laws of democratic political development in China, put forward the major concept of people's democracy in the whole process, and vigorously promoted it. Development contributes Chinese wisdom.

  ——“We must connect all aspects of democratic election, democratic consultation, democratic decision-making, democratic management, and democratic supervision, continuously develop people’s democracy throughout the process, and better ensure that the people are the masters of the country.”

  To evaluate the quality of a country's democracy, it depends not only on institutional procedures, but also on participation in practice.

China's whole-process people's democracy has realized the unity of process democracy and outcome democracy, procedural democracy and substantive democracy, direct democracy and indirect democracy, people's democracy and the will of the state. The truest and most functional socialist democracy.

  Looking forward to the prospect of a country's democracy, the key is to see whether it conforms to the country's national conditions and whether it has the support of the people.

The whole process of people's democracy in China is rooted in the vast land of China. It absorbs the cultural nutrients accumulated by the Chinese nation's long struggle and learns from the outstanding achievements of human civilization. It is in line with China's national conditions and has been sincerely supported by the people. It has a solid practical foundation and broad prospects for development.

  The flower of democracy in China is blooming brilliantly, adding vitality to the garden of world civilization.

  "Chinese democracy is deeply rooted in the land of China, so it has its own vitality." Jiang E Vallory, honorary academician of the French Academy of Sciences emphasized, "History and facts tell us that every democracy is built on a certain society, Everything based on economic and cultural foundations must go through a process of gradual development and improvement.”

  ——“Democracy is not a decoration, it is not used for decoration, but to solve the problems that the people need to solve.”

  In recent years, discussions in the international community around the effectiveness of democracy have grown.

In some countries, democratic practice tends to be "sloganized" and "formalized".

The people are awakened only when they vote, and go into hibernation after voting. They only listen to hype slogans during elections, and they have no right to speak after the election. They are favored when canvassing votes, and they are left out after the election.

  The alienation of democracy and the disorder of governance give birth to deep thinking about the relationship between democracy and national governance.

More international people have noticed that China's development of people's democracy throughout the process has significantly improved governance efficiency and consolidated development forces.

  Noyan Rona, Chief Representative of the Shanghai Representative Office of the Turkish Guarantee Bank, has personal experience and unique observations on the whole process of people's democracy in China.

Since settling in Shanghai in 1996, Lorna has participated in many forums where the government asks the people for advice.

"Listen carefully, do it carefully, and give feedback seriously." He summed up the Chinese government's approach to handling the opinions of the masses with "three seriousness".

In Lona's view, China's democracy focuses on brainstorming, building consensus, and promoting implementation, thus making people's lives and the country better.

  "China's democratic system ensures that people's needs and concerns are responded to in a timely and effective manner." Tan Zheli, a senior researcher at the Mbeki Institute for African Leadership at the University of South Africa, believes that China's democratic system is an important reason for China's remarkable governance.

  ——“There are many ways to achieve democracy, and it is impossible to be the same. To measure the world’s colorful political systems with a single yardstick, and to examine the colorful political civilization of mankind with a monotonous eye, is itself undemocratic.”

  Some Western countries have long regarded democracy as their own "patent", and they often point fingers and interfere in other countries in the name of "democracy".

Only by breaking this deliberately created "democratic monopoly" can the vast majority of developing countries find their own democratic development path.

  Today, the whole process of people's democracy in China is showing vigor and vitality. The more than 1.4 billion Chinese people, who account for nearly one-fifth of the world's population, have truly become masters of the country. This proves the diversity of democracy's realization methods and strongly encourages developing countries to independently explore democratic development. confidence in the road.

  Jabala, a columnist in Egypt's Al-Ayramid, said, "China's whole process of people's democracy has provided inspiration for the social governance of other countries, and enriched and developed human political civilization."

  How to deal with the diversity of world civilization tests the wisdom and pattern of a country.

China actively advocates a broad-minded understanding of different civilizations' understanding of the connotation of value, respects the exploration of the path of value realization by the people of different countries, and concretely and realistically reflects the common values ​​of all mankind in the practice of realizing the interests of their own people.

  Be tolerant to diversity, tolerance is a virtue.

According to Severino Cabral, director of the Asia-Pacific-China Institute in Brazil, China has shown the world that different civilizations can live in harmony through exchanges and provided a model for the world.

(4) "A blueprint is drawn to the end"

  Those who are good at games seek the situation, and those who are good at governing seek the overall situation.

Strategic issues are the fundamental issues of a political party and a country.

  In recent years, it has been difficult for the world economy to get rid of the "feeling of weakness", and the development of many countries is stagnant.

Under the same complex and severe situation, China has withstood many risks and tests, achieved the great achievement of "stunning the world", demonstrated the development trend of "the scenery is unique here", and steadily moved towards the goal of modernization.

Among them, the strategic vision of the helm is extremely critical.

  Firmly anchor the century-old dream and draw a strategic path for the realization of modernization as scheduled.

  From the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it is the historical convergence period of the "two centenary goals".

Based on a special historical stage, only with forward-looking thinking can we lead the giant ship China to a bright future.

  The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a strategic arrangement for the realization of the second centenary goal in two stages, and proposed to basically achieve socialist modernization by 2035, and to build my country into a prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious, and beautiful modern socialist country by the middle of this century. .

  During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the first five years of the new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way will begin.

The "14th Five-Year Plan" outlines a roadmap for a good start and a good start for the "Second Centenary", and clarifies the long-term goal of basically realizing socialist modernization in 2035 from 9 aspects.

  With a clear and definite direction of progress and a steady pace of progress, China's development is unique.

  In the eyes of international people who pay attention to China, the certainty of China's development and progress is highly related to the strategic vision of Chinese leaders——

  "President Xi has a very long-term strategic vision, and he can directly hit the key points and key points every time." Former French Prime Minister Raffarin said.

  Russian expert Olga Migunova emphasized that President Xi Jinping leads the Chinese Communist Party and makes decisions entirely around the interests of the people—often long-term, years to decades ahead, and “draws a blueprint to the end.”

  Systematically grasp the overall situation of development and provide scientific guidance for the coordinated advancement of modernization.

  Modernization covers all aspects of the development of human society.

Chinese-style modernization is determined to promote the coordinated development of material civilization, political civilization, spiritual civilization, social civilization, and ecological civilization.

  Put forward the goals of building a strong country in science and technology, manufacturing, quality, network, transportation, digital China, and building a strong culture, education, talent, sports, and healthy China.

  Adhere to the people-centered development idea, and promote the all-round development of people and the common prosperity of all people to achieve more obvious and substantive progress;

  It is proposed to base on a new development stage, implement new development concepts, build a new development pattern, promote high-quality development, and coordinate development and safety...

  10年来,习近平总书记提出的治国理政新理念新思想新战略,引领中国式现代化不断推进,也为人类现代化事业拓宽了视野和路径。

  印度尼赫鲁大学中国和东南亚研究中心教授狄伯杰指出,习近平总书记为中国未来发展描绘的蓝图,既有宏图大略,又具可操作性,展示了大国方略和气魄。

  始终发扬斗争精神,为实现民族复兴凝聚强大力量。

  “我国作为一个人口众多和超大市场规模的社会主义国家,在迈向现代化的历史进程中,必然要承受其他国家都不曾遇到的各种压力和严峻挑战。”习近平总书记始终强调要常怀忧患意识。

  10年来,中国发展遭遇的风险挑战风高浪急,有时甚至是惊涛骇浪,各种风险挑战接踵而至,其复杂性严峻性前所未有。唯有发扬斗争精神,敢于斗争、善于斗争,才能不断推动中国式现代化向着既定目标迈进。

  我们党以“得罪千百人、不负十四亿”的使命担当,推动反腐败斗争取得压倒性胜利并全面巩固;

  我们党领导人民坚决打赢疫情防控的人民战争、总体战、阻击战,统筹推进疫情防控和经济社会发展工作取得积极成效……

  志不求易者成,事不避难者进。审视中国走过的非凡10年,国际社会对中国实现复兴梦想的历史必然性有了更深刻认识。

(五)“坚定不移走和平发展道路”

  地球村里,各国命运紧密相联,没有一个国家能孤立依靠自己的力量实现现代化梦想。

  6月22日,金砖国家工商论坛在北京举行。习近平主席在开幕式上发表主旨演讲,用富有哲理的话语道出中国与各国携手开创未来的真诚意愿——

  “历史长河时而风平浪静,时而波涛汹涌,但总会奔涌向前。尽管国际形势风云变幻,但开放发展的历史大势不会变,携手合作、共迎挑战的愿望也不会变。我们要不畏浮云遮望眼,准确认识历史发展规律,不为一时一事所惑,不为风险所惧,勇敢面对挑战,向着构建人类命运共同体的目标勇毅前行。”

  回顾世界近代史,“国强必霸”似乎是现代化难以摆脱的一道魔咒,西方大国的发家史就是一部后发国家的血泪史,给世界带来了无尽灾难。21世纪的今天,向着现代化强国迈进的中国将如何与世界相处,引起各方广泛关注,被视为本世纪国际关系的最重要课题。

  “什么是当今世界的潮流?答案只有一个,那就是和平、发展、合作、共赢。中国不认同‘国强必霸’的陈旧逻辑。当今世界,殖民主义、霸权主义的老路还能走得通吗?答案是否定的。不仅走不通,而且一定会碰得头破血流。只有和平发展道路可以走得通。所以,中国将坚定不移走和平发展道路。”赓续中华民族和合文化和大同理想,把握国际秩序和时代潮流的深刻变化,新时代中国对各国关切的“中国之问”给出坚定回答。

  党的十八大以来,习近平总书记提出推动构建人类命运共同体、建设新型国际关系、弘扬全人类共同价值等重大理念,提出共建“一带一路”重大倡议,始终在中国与世界各国良性互动、互利共赢中擘画与推进中国式现代化事业,坚信“世界好,中国才能好;中国好,世界才更好”。

  今天,历史长河卷起新的汹涌波涛,地缘紧张、经济低迷、发展分化、疫情蔓延等全球性挑战交织显现,国际社会对中国作用的期待更加强烈。

  ——“去年,我在联合国大会上提出全球发展倡议,呼吁国际社会关注发展中国家面临的紧迫问题。这个倡议是向全世界开放的公共产品,旨在对接联合国2030年可持续发展议程,推动全球共同发展。中国愿同各方携手合作,共同推进倡议落地,努力不让任何一个国家掉队。”

  疫情严重冲击世界经济复苏,造成南北发展鸿沟拉大,发展合作动能减弱。直面这一突出挑战,全球发展倡议推动国际社会聚焦发展问题,加大国际发展合作投入,重振全球发展伙伴关系。

  紧密结合广大发展中国家需求,全球发展倡议重点推进减贫、粮食安全、抗疫和疫苗、发展筹资、气候变化和绿色发展、工业化、数字经济、互联互通等领域合作,为破解发展不平衡不充分提供了“路线图”,为推进联合国2030年可持续发展议程提供了“加速器”。

  聚焦共识,切中肯綮,应者云集。

  全球发展倡议一经提出就得到国际社会积极响应,被写入多份国际会议成果文件、联合声明及中国同有关国家双边合作文件,100多个国家和包括联合国在内的多个国际组织对倡议表达积极支持。联合国秘书长古特雷斯指出,全球发展倡议对促进全球平等和平衡可持续发展具有重要积极意义,联合国完全支持,愿同中方就此加强合作。

  今年6月,全球发展高层对话会成功举行,标志着全球发展倡议开始落地生根。创设“全球发展和南南合作基金”、加大对中国—联合国和平与发展基金的投入、成立全球发展促进中心、建立全球发展知识网络……习近平主席在对话会上就落实全球发展倡议宣布一系列务实举措。

  中国提供的国际公共产品之所以广受欢迎,不仅是因为理念科学先进,更在于高度重视执行落地,与一些国家口惠而实不至的做法形成鲜明对比。阿尔巴尼亚全球化研究所执行主任马塞拉·穆萨贝卢的评价很有代表性:“全球发展倡议是一个以行动为导向的倡议……它将鼓励不同国家加强合作,包括推进南南合作以实现共同发展。”

  ——“前不久,我提出全球安全倡议,倡导坚持共同、综合、合作、可持续的安全观,立足人类是不可分割的安全共同体,走出一条对话而不对抗、结伴而不结盟、共赢而非零和的新型安全之路。”

  冷战思维、阵营对抗、强权政治抬头,严重威胁世界和平与安全。乌克兰危机的爆发,让本来就充满不确定性的国际局势变得更加复杂动荡,和平与发展的时代主题面临着严峻挑战。

  解决问题的方案,不可能是曾经制造问题的旧思维。全球安全倡议直面世界之变,摒弃零和博弈、阵营对抗的过时观念,在坚持共同、综合、合作、可持续的安全观基础上,进一步推动构建均衡、有效、可持续的安全架构,为消弭国际冲突根源、实现世界长治久安提供了新方向。

  凡益之道,与时偕行,八方响应。

  印尼总统佐科访华,中印尼两国元首会晤联合新闻声明写道:“双方将致力于强化多边主义。印尼重视全球安全倡议,愿同中方共同通过对话和外交途径维护和平与稳定。”

  巴基斯坦总理夏巴兹强调:“全球发展倡议和全球安全倡议契合国际社会普遍期待,必将为地区和世界和平稳定与发展繁荣发挥重要作用。”

  德国外交部国务秘书米夏埃利斯表示:“德方高度关注中方提出的全球安全倡议,愿同中方携手努力,共同应对全球性挑战”……

  风急浪高之时,更当和衷共济。当前,世界百年未有之大变局加速演进,世界之变、时代之变、历史之变的特征更加明显。关键时刻,中国致力于引领各国团结合作、共渡难关,让国际社会清楚看到,究竟谁才是推动历史进步的正义力量。

  (六)“中国共产党具有无比坚强的领导力、组织力、执行力”

  在变乱交织的国际形势下,审视中国式现代化实现的跨越,更显极不寻常、极不平凡。

  2021年2月20日,党史学习教育动员大会在北京召开。特殊历史节点,回首峥嵘岁月,习近平总书记的话语振奋人心:“当今世界,要说哪个政党、哪个国家、哪个民族能够自信的话,那中国共产党、中华人民共和国、中华民族是最有理由自信的!”

  10年奋进,10年辉煌,中华民族迎来了从站起来、富起来到强起来的伟大飞跃,实现中华民族伟大复兴进入了不可逆转的历史进程,这是今日“中国自信”的底气所在。

  相较于一些国家陷于政治失序、经济低迷、社会纷乱,中国式现代化展现出的确定性更显不易。正因为此,“向东看”渐成国际潮流,解码“中国之治”成为全球热门话题。

  ——“江山就是人民,人民就是江山。”

  近年来,与中国共产党民意支持率相关的调查研究频频见诸国际媒体报道。

  哈佛大学的民调显示,中国民众对党和政府的支持率长期保持在90%以上。全球知名公关咨询公司爱德曼发布的报告显示,2021年中国民众对政府信任度高达91%,蝉联全球第一。

  突如其来的新冠肺炎疫情,对于任何一个国家都是一场治理能力大考。中国统筹经济发展和疫情防控取得世界上最好的成果。解读中国成功经验时,“信任”成为关键词。

  亲历武汉抗疫过程的黎巴嫩友人阿德汉·赛义德撰写了《坚定——一个外国人的武汉日记》一书,与世界分享自己的亲身观察:“疫情已经持续两年多,为什么中国人民能始终坚持团结抗疫?因为他们信任中国党和政府。”德国《每日镜报》的文章指出,中国人民对中央政府的危机管理充满信心,所以中国政府采取的措施能快速产生效果。

  人心向背是最大的政治。如何得到人民的支持,是各国执政党面临的永恒课题。中国共产党交出的优异答卷,诠释了一个人民政党的生命力。正是因为始终得到人民的拥护和支持,中国共产党才能在中华大地上创造人间奇迹。

  ——“中国特色社会主义有很多特点和特征,但最本质的特征是坚持中国共产党领导。”

  战疫情、斗洪峰,反贫困、建小康,稳经济、促发展,化危机、应变局……10年来,中国共产党带领中国人民不畏风险、勇毅前行。“事实充分证明,中国共产党具有无比坚强的领导力、组织力、执行力,是团结带领人民攻坚克难、开拓前进最可靠的领导力量。”习近平总书记的铿锵话语,道出世界的共同感受。

  今天,为了近距离观察世界第一大党,越来越多外国代表团前往中国基层一线调研,越来越多国际观察人士将视线聚焦普通中国共产党党员。

  2020年9月22日,拉美16个国家70多个政党和政党组织的200余位领导人收看了一场特殊的全球直播——以“决战脱贫攻坚”为主题的贵州惠水县委常委会会议。巴拿马民革党总书记冈萨雷斯在观看会议就当地佛手瓜产销问题进行科学决策的整个过程后,对媒体坦言“这是非常生动的一课”,帮助他找到了中国取得巨大成就的原因。

  美国库恩基金会主席罗伯特·库恩把中国扶贫工作称为“21世纪最伟大的世界故事之一”。他说:“最让我感动的是那些默默奉献的年轻党员干部,他们可能原本在省会城市工作,在各自岗位上正崭露头角,但却选择到偏远村庄工作,目标就是帮助贫困村民脱贫。”

  “拥有坚强意志”“崇尚无私奉献”“对事业充满信念”……国际视线里,中国共产党的形象正变得更加具体多元。

  “自我革命”,世界读懂新时代中国共产党的另一个关键词。10年来,中国共产党推进全面从严治党的坚定决心、顽强意志、有力行动,即使在整部人类政治史上也属罕见。有国际媒体在评论新时代中国反腐成绩时写道,这是“足以同在中国这样一个世界上人口最多的国家解决温饱问题、极大消除贫困相提并论的一个巨大贡献”。

  ——“我们靠团结奋斗创造了辉煌历史,还要靠团结奋斗开辟美好未来。”

  孙中山先生的《建国方略》被称为近代中国谋求现代化的第一份蓝图。2020年10月,正在广东考察的习近平总书记走进汕头开埠文化陈列馆,在《建国方略》相关规划图前驻足凝视,感慨地说:“只有我们中国共产党人实现了。”

  百年巨变,沧海桑田。今天,中华民族正阔步走在通向现代化强国梦想的康庄大道上,前所未有地接近实现复兴目标。回看走过的路、比较别人的路、远眺前行的路,中国人民有充分的理由昂扬振奋,也有充分的理由憧憬未来。

  伟大的时代之所以伟大,就在于它为身处其中的每一个人都提供了追求梦想、实现梦想的无限机遇。今日之中国,正是一个洋溢着“未来感”的国度。为明天打拼、为梦想奋斗,“一起向未来”的社会心态是民心民意的真实写照,折射出人民对国家前景的高度信心。

  在与中国年轻人的交流中,保加利亚共产党中央委员会第一书记阿列克桑达尔·帕乌诺夫感受到中国人民对美好生活的热切向往。他说,“在中国共产党带领下,中国人民积极投身经济社会建设的大潮,我想这就是中国发展奇迹的秘诀。”

  “黄金时代,不在我们背后,乃在我们面前;不在过去,乃在将来。”

  2022,一个注定被历史标注的特殊年份。即将召开的党的二十大,将对全面建成社会主义现代化强国两步走战略安排进行宏观展望,重点部署未来5年的战略任务和重大举措。

  其作始也简,其将毕也必巨。当我国成为世界上第一个不是走资本主义道路,而是走社会主义道路成功建成的现代化强国时,我们党领导人民在中国进行的伟大社会革命将更加充分地展示出其世界意义、历史意义。

  The more than 1.4 billion Chinese people have always anchored their goals and unswervingly walked along the bright road of socialism with Chinese characteristics. While developing themselves and benefiting the world, they will surely be able to create a new era on the new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. Brilliant, make new and greater contributions to the progress of all mankind!
