The world’s second largest economic entity, technologically advanced, prosperous, beautiful, etc., are the world’s impressions of China today. However, before achieving the achievements it has today, China has gone through a difficult journey of nation-building from scratch after the founding of the People’s Republic of China under the leadership of the Communist Party of China.
As the world’s largest political party, the Communist Party of China has gone through a valiant struggle for 105 years and has steered the Chinese ship for 77 years.
Currently, the Communist Party of China has been leading the Chinese people towards prosperity for all through Chinese-style modernization.
From the beginning of the century to the middle of the 20th century, China was plagued by foreign wars and civil wars. It can be said that the founding of New China or the People’s Republic of China in 1949 It is the beginning of building a nation from scratch.
Although China is one of the oldest civilizations in the East and has been very brilliant in history, in terms of modern development, China started decades later than the West.
However, it took China just over 30 years after the launch of the reform and opening-up policy to surpass other countries, including major economic powers, and overtake the United States to become the second largest economic entity in the world. More importantly, it took China just over 40 years that is, in 2021 China announced to the whole world that all people below the extreme poverty line had been lifted out of extreme poverty, which is an unprecedented event in the history of China and the world.
From just over 50 party members when the party was first founded to over one hundred million party members today, the growth and development of the Communist Party of China over the past 105 years has highlighted the meaning of the Chinese political proverb that “only by gaining the support of the people can one exercise power.” The Communist Party of China has led and united the people of all ethnic groups, defeated the aggressors, overcome the stagnation of resource scarcity, carried out reform and opening up, built national strength, and strengthened international cooperation, and has become the anchor of global peace and security and the engine of world economic growth.
“Everything comes from the people, everything is for the people, everything must rely on the people” has been the motto of all generations of leaders of the Communist Party of China.
In the great journey of restoring the great glory of the Chinese nation, the Communist Party of China has led the people of all ethnic groups to take energetic and firm steps, achieving the first “century-long goal” of building a society in which the people enjoy a well-off life in all respects on the occasion of the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.
In particular, China is currently moving towards achieving the second “Centennial Goal of Struggle”, which is divided into two stages. The first stage is to achieve the construction of China as a modern socialist country by 2035, and the second stage is to achieve the construction of a strong socialist country that is prosperous, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful by 2049.
From Mao Zedong’s “Serving the People” to “Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era”, from the founding of the Party to the present, the Communist Party of China has adhered to its objective of “putting the people first”, that is, conducting politics to serve the interests of the people. If one were to ask why the Communist Party of China has been able to achieve such great success today and become a model of a socialist country? The answer lies in the “people,” as Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, said: “The people give me the role, and I must place the people in the highest position in my heart.”
Based on China’s success under the wise leadership of the Communist Party of China, it can be clearly understood that the Communist Party of China, which has existed for more than a hundred years and has not changed its essence, color, or character, will certainly be able to build a modern and strong China and make more important contributions to the prosperity and common development of the world.
