The glorious achievements made by China during the past 70 years indicate that to conduct continuous self-revolution while promoting social revolution is what distinguishes the CPC from other political parties, and also the key to the Party's remarkable governance for the people.

Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has delivered a satisfactory anti-corruption performance through hard work. In the past, there were rumors about China's political system in the Western world, but after the 18th CPC National Congress, they have been gradually losing influence.

China's anti-corruption achievements are comparable with the country’s colossal contribution to poverty reduction, foreign media commented. Facts speak louder than words. In today's world, no country has cracked down on corruption as ruthlessly and effectively as China has, and no country has done a better job than China in maintaining the overall stability of the society while fighting corruption.

Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. The practice of the past 70 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially since the reform and opening up, is indisputable proof that socialism with Chinese characteristics is the only path leading to development and progress in China. This is an unshakable conclusion drawn by the Party and the people from history and reality.

Socialism with Chinese characteristics does not drop from the sky, and it must be carried through. Some people and some forces in the world are unwilling to see China become strong. Since the beginning of reform and opening up, especially after the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, they never stopped singing the blue over China and constantly played up the "China collapse theory."

However, China did not fall down. Instead, its overall national strength has increased, and the people’s living standards have continuously improved.

Some people blamed China's development problems on the system, saying China will solve its problems by copying the Western political systems.

However, as some developing countries and regions carried out the "color revolution" according to the Western model, they saw not economic development, political stability, and social progress, but political turmoil, social division, and chaos.

These facts confirm the correctness of the Chinese road and profoundly indicate that people must neither retrace their steps to the rigidity and isolation of the past nor take the wrong turn by changing their nature and abandoning their system.

Brilliant thoughts illuminate the journey of a nation toward revival and generate the power to influence the world. In recent years, the book "Xi Jinping: The Governance of China" became a bestseller in many countries and has been read by many foreign politicians.

Former French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin said that the book expounds on China's major choices and clearly shows China's ambition and development direction. Countries with different social systems and different stages of development can get inspiration from this book about their own development and world progress. This is the charm of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.

With decades of hard work, socialism with Chinese characteristics has crossed the threshold into a new era. This is a new historic juncture in China’s development, according to the report delivered at the 19th National Congress of the CPC.

After 70 years, China's development has entered a new historical era, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has shown a bright future that has never been seen before.

We must recognize that the fundamental dimension of the Chinese context—that our country is still and will long remain in the primary stage of socialism has not changed. China’s international status as the world’s largest developing country has not changed.

China’s GDP per capita is still in the middle of the world, and there is still a distance from high-income countries. The problem of uneven development between urban and rural areas still exists. Though China has made significant progress in the realm of technology, it is still weak in many technologies.

We must be completely clear about this fundamental dimension of our national context and start from reality. We must fully implement the Party’s basic theory, line, and policy.

We must also recognize that the principal contradiction facing Chinese society is the contradiction between unbalanced and inadequate development, and the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life. This has put forward many new demands on the work of the Party and the state. We must regard as our goal the people’s aspirations to live a better life.

We must see that the Chinese nation has ushered in the best period of development in history. The economy continues to grow and is transitioning from a phase of rapid growth to a stage of high-quality development. The country's economic strength has leaped to the first echelon of the world.

Besides, the policies adopted by the Party and the government have responded to people's wishes. The development of the country has aroused the cultural confidence of the whole nation. Chinese culture has become more open and inclusive, making the nation more united.

Chinese society is full of vitality, and the industrious and intelligent Chinese people have generated tremendous creative energy. The people's livelihood continues to improve, and moderately prosperous society in all respects will be built. China has won wide respect from the international community, and its international influence is increasing day by day. The confidence and morale of the Chinese people are at a historic high.

For a party which fights for the eternal wellbeing of the Chinese nation, the centenary only ushers in the prime of life. This is the oath of the 100-year-old Party to stay true to its original aspiration and dedicated to its mission.

The CPC members are always advancing on the road, and the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is going to come true.
