Editor's note:

  85 years ago, American journalist and author Edgar Snow wrote a book Red Star Over China after observing the arduous struggle of the Chinese Communists, which caused a sensation among Western readers.

In the vicissitudes of life in 1985, the red star in Snow's writings not only illuminated China, but also impressed the world with the shining light of the East.

On the occasion of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, in order to let history illuminate the future and let the world understand China better, China News Network launched a series of reports on "Why Red Stars Shine in China", inviting celebrities, expert think tanks and overseas Chinese to discuss China Ten Years of great changes, looking forward to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the future development of China.

  Bo Xiwen, former director of the European and International Affairs Department of the German state of Hesse, has been observing China's development for a long time.

He said that China has achieved fruitful development in the past ten years.

China has put forward the concept of "community with a shared future for mankind", which conforms to the common interests of all mankind.

He noted that even in the current period of the new crown epidemic, China is still thriving among the world's major economies.

Talking about the upcoming 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Bo Xiwen said that China is on the right development path and hoped that China will continue to follow this path.
