Liu Haixing: What's the Global Significance of China's Governance Model & Philosophy?
The article by the chief of the CPC's International Liaison Department sheds light on the Party's view of systems and ideological competition with the West.
Here are the key reports and articles from the People’s Daily’s edition on Thursday, January 08, 2026.
Page 1: There’s another Zhong Caiping commentary today; this one basically makes the case that China’s economy has been strong and resilient through 2025, despite the challenges, and the credit goes to Xi Jinping’s leadership.
It says:
“The Chinese economy has always grown amidst the baptism of wind and rain, and strengthened through the endurance of trials. In 2025, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, we have consistently responded to the uncertainties of the international environment with the certainty of high-quality development, unswervingly managed our own affairs well, and strengthened our internal capabilities to cope with external challenges, thereby promoting the effective qualitative improvement and reasonable quantitative growth of the Chinese economy.
Facing a turbulent international environment, we have responded calmly and pressed forward despite the pressure. Since the beginning of last year, the US has successively used the so-called ‘fentanyl issue’ and ‘reciprocal tariffs’ as excuses to impose multiple rounds of tariff suppression against us, with the added tariff rates reaching 145% at one point. Under the unified deployment of the Party Central Committee, we persisted in a ‘two-pronged approach’. 中国经济,从来都是在风雨洗礼中成长,在历经考验中壮大。2025年,在以习近平同志为核心的党中央坚强领导下,我们始终以高质量发展的确定性应对国际环境的不确定性,坚定不移办好自己的事,以苦练内功来应对外部挑战,推动中国经济实现质的有效提升和量的合理增长。面对风高浪急的国际环境,我们沉着应对,顶压前行。去年初以来,美国政府先后以所谓“芬太尼问题”“对等关税”为由,对我轮番升级多轮关税打压,加征的关税税率一度达到145%。我们在党中央的统一部署下,坚持“两手抓”。
On one hand, we struck back tit-for-tat. Aiming at US bullying behaviour, we launched a ‘combination blow’ of five rounds of tariff and non-tariff countermeasures, forcing the US to take the initiative to seek negotiations. After multiple rounds of talks between the two sides, especially after the Busan meeting between the two heads of state, a ‘pause button’ was pressed on the China-US tariff war and trade war, and China-US economic and trade relations experienced a phased easing. On the other hand, we actively promoted a ‘breakout’ for foreign trade. By implementing an export diversification strategy, in the first 11 months of 2025, exports to ASEAN and the EU grew by 14.6% and 8.9%, respectively, and exports to BRI countries grew by 11.3%. Although exports of goods to the US fell by 18.3% year-on-year, total exports calculated in US dollars still grew by 5.4%, effectively resisting the impact of the tariff and trade wars. 一方面,针锋相对地予以还击。针对美国霸凌行径,打出5轮关税和非关税反制的“组合拳”,迫使美国主动提出与我谈判。双方经过多轮会谈,特别是两国元首釜山会晤后,中美关税战、贸易战按下“暂停键”,中美经贸关系出现了阶段性缓和。另一方面,积极推动外贸“突围”。通过实施出口多元化战略,2025年前11个月,对东盟、欧盟出口分别增长14.6%和8.9%,对共建“一带一路”国家出口增长11.3%。尽管对美货物贸易出口同比下降18.3%,但以美元计价的全部出口仍增长5.4%,有效抵御了关税战、贸易战的冲击.
Practice has fully proven that China’s economic foundation is solid and its resilience strong, fully capable of withstanding major tests of high winds and surging waves, and even tempestuous seas.
Facing arduous and heavy tasks in domestic reform, development, and stability, we have implemented more proactive and effective macroeconomic policies, focused on stabilizing employment, enterprises, markets, and expectations, and promoted the economy to develop in a new and better direction. Economic performance has remained stable while making progress. Full-year economic growth in 2025 is expected to be around 5%, continuing to rank among the forefront of the world’s major economies. Total economic output will reach 140 trillion yuan, successfully completing the main targets and tasks for economic and social development for the year. 实践充分证明,中国经济底盘坚实、韧性强劲,完全能够经受住风高浪急甚至惊涛骇浪的重大考验。面对艰巨繁重的国内改革发展稳定任务,我们实施更加积极有为的宏观政策,着力稳就业、稳企业、稳市场、稳预期,推动经济向新向优发展。经济运行稳中有进。2025年全年经济增长预计在5%左右,继续位居世界主要经济体前列,经济总量将达到140万亿元,顺利完成全年经济社会发展主要目标任务.
The industrial structure has been continuously optimised. In the first 11 months of 2025, the added value of equipment manufacturing and high-tech manufacturing above a designated size grew by 9.3% and 9.2%, respectively, which was 3.3 and 3.2 percentage points faster than the growth of industrial added value above a designated size. The added value of equipment manufacturing and high-tech manufacturing accounted for 36.4% and 16.7% of industry above a designated size, respectively, an increase of 2.7 and 1.6 percentage points over 2020. The industrial structure continues to upgrade and improve, helping us gain an advantage in the reconstruction of the global industrial chain. 产业结构不断优化。2025年前11个月,规模以上装备制造业和高技术制造业增加值分别增长9.3%和9.2%,快于规上工业增加值3.3和3.2个百分点。装备制造业增加值和高技术制造业增加值占规上工业的比重分别达到36.4%、16.7%,比2020年提高2.7和1.6个百分点。产业结构向新向优持续攀升,助力我们在全球产业链重构中占得先机.
Innovative achievements are emerging in large numbers. The more the US seeks to contain and suppress us, the more it stimulates our capacity for independent innovation. The ‘chokepoint’ list is getting shorter, while the list of independently controllable technologies is getting longer. In the first eleven months of 2025, China’s exports of high-technology products performed impressively. Among them, integrated circuit exports reached 1.29 trillion yuan, an increase of 25.6%. China’s research, development, and application in areas such as AI, biomedicine, and robotics are at the global forefront, becoming new highlights emerging after the ‘new three items’. Chinese products such as the game Black Myth: Wukong and Labubu dolls have sparked wave after wave of ‘China fever’ internationally. 创新成果大量涌出。美国越是遏制打压,越是激发我们的自主创新能力。“卡脖子”清单越来越短,自主可控清单越来越长。2025年前11个月,我国高技术产品出口表现亮眼。其中,集成电路出口1.29万亿元,增长25.6%。我国人工智能、生物医药、机器人等研发应用走在全球前列,成为继“新三样”后涌现出的新亮点。《黑神话:悟空》游戏、拉布布玩偶等中国产品在国际上掀起一波又一波“中国热”.
The reform and opening-up process has taken new strides. The Private Economy Promotion Law has been introduced and implemented, the negative list for market access has been further shortened, comprehensive measures have been taken to rectify ‘involution-style’ competition, a unified national market is being built, and comprehensive reforms are being deepened. The scope of countries applicable for unilateral visa-free policy to China has been expanded, the Hainan Free Trade Port began island-wide ‘customs closure’ operations, and independent and unilateral opening-up are progressing in an orderly manner, steadily expanding high-level opening-up to the outside world. The American magazine The Diplomat recently published an article stating that the rise of China’s electric vehicle industry is a vivid case of openness defeating protectionism. 改革开放迈出新步伐。出台实施民营经济促进法,进一步缩减市场准入负面清单,综合整治“内卷式”竞争,建设全国统一大市场,全面深化改革向纵深推进。扩大来华单方面免签政策适用国家范围,海南自由贸易港全岛封关运作,自主开放、单边开放有序推进,高水平对外开放稳步扩大。美国《外交家》杂志不久前发文称,中国电动汽车产业的崛起之路就是开放战胜保护主义的生动案例.
The quality of the ecological environment has significantly improved. Energy use is cleaner, with China building the world’s largest renewable energy system, where one out of every three kilowatt-hours of electricity consumed comes from green energy. Pollution control has yielded remarkable results; in the first eleven months of 2025, PM2.5 concentrations in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region fell to 31 micrograms per cubic meter, a decrease of 54% compared with ten years ago. China leads the world in afforestation, contributing a quarter of the world’s newly-added green areas. China’s achievements in ecological environment construction have been highly recognised both domestically and internationally. 生态环境质量明显改善。“用能”更加清洁,建成全球最大的可再生能源体系,每用3度电中就有1度是绿电。“治污”成效显著,2025年前11个月京津冀空气中PM2.5浓度降至31微克/立方米,比10年前下降54%。“扩绿”领先世界,我国贡献了全球1/4的新增绿化面积。中国生态环境建设成就得到国内外高度认同.
Livelihood protection has become more robust. The achievements of poverty alleviation have been continuously consolidated and expanded, winning widespread international praise. Social security spending as a share of GDP has doubled from 4% in 2012 to about 8% today, roughly comparable to the level of upper-middle-income countries, and continues to grow at a relatively fast pace. Average life expectancy reached 79 years, comparable to the US. In 2024, China recorded 0.44 homicide cases per 100,000 people, with a case-solving rate of 99.94%; ‘Safe China’ has become a bright national business card. China has built the world’s largest education, medical, and social security systems, the level of basic public services has been continuously improved, and the common prosperity of all people is steadily advancing. 民生保障更加有力。脱贫攻坚成果持续巩固拓展,赢得世界普遍赞誉。社会保障支出占GDP比重已由2012年的4%翻倍至现在的约8%,与中高收入国家水平大体相当,且保持持续较快增长。人均预期寿命达到79岁,与美国相当。2024年我国每10万人命案发生数0.44起,破案率为99.94%,“平安中国”成为亮丽的国家名片。我国已建成世界规模最大的教育、医疗和社会保障体系,基本公共服务水平不断提升,全体人民共同富裕稳步推进.
Looking at the economic operation in the fourth quarter of 2025, many indicators such as prices, profitability, and expectations have significantly improved; positive factors are still accumulating and increasing, and the positive momentum of China’s economic development towards a new and improved stage will continue. In November 2025, the CPI growth rate rose for three consecutive months, and the decline in the PPI generally narrowed after August; in the first 11 months, the profits of industrial enterprises above a designated size increased by 0.1% year-on-year, with the cumulative growth rate maintaining growth for four consecutive months; as a leading index, the Manufacturing PMI was 50.1% in December, up 0.9 percentage points from November, returning to the expansion zone for the first time in 8 months, and the non-manufacturing business activity index also returned to the expansion zone after one month. 从2025年四季度经济运行情况看,价格、效益、预期等诸多指标明显改善,积极因素还在积累增多,中国经济向新向优发展的良好势头仍将持续。2025年11月,居民消费价格指数涨幅连续3个月回升,工业生产者出厂价格自8月份之后降幅总体收窄;前11个月,规模以上工业企业利润同比增长0.1%,累计增速连续4个月保持增长;作为先行指数的制造业采购经理指数,12月份为50.1%,比11月上升0.9个百分点,时隔8个月再度升至扩张区间,非制造业商务活动指数时隔1个月也回升至扩张区间.
The fundamental reason why the Chinese economy has been able to withstand pressure and move forward towards new and better prospects lies in General Secretary Xi Jinping’s leadership and the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee. This is our greatest confidence and strongest foundation for overcoming all difficulties and obstacles. As long as the entire nation remains closely united around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, the giant ship of the Chinese economy will surely ride the waves and sail steadily towards a bright future. “千磨万击还坚劲,任尔东西南北风。”中国经济之所以能够顶压前行、向新向好,根本在于习近平总书记领航掌舵和党中央集中统一领导,这是我们战胜一切艰难险阻的最大信心和最大底气。只要全国人民紧密团结在以习近平同志为核心的党中央周围,中国经济这艘巨轮就一定能够乘风破浪、行稳致远.
As we head into the next CCDI plenary, today there’s a preview piece, which stresses the importance of political supervision. It argues that:
“Since 2025, the CCDI and the National Supervisory Commission, along with discipline inspection and supervision organs at all levels, have deeply studied and implemented Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, especially General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important thoughts on Party building and self-revolution. They have continuously promoted the concretization, precision, and normalisation of political supervision, driving the entire Party to profoundly understand the decisive significance of the ‘Two Establishments’, enhance the four consciousnesses, strengthen the four self-confidences, and achieve the two safeguards, thereby forming a positive situation of concerted efforts to implement the major decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee.” 2025年以来,中央纪委国家监委和各级纪检监察机关深入学习贯彻习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想特别是习近平总书记关于党的建设的重要思想、关于党的自我革命的重要思想,持续推进政治监督具体化、精准化、常态化,推动全党深刻领悟“两个确立”的决定性意义,增强“四个意识”、坚定“四个自信”、做到“两个维护”,形成齐心协力落实党中央重大决策部署的良好局面.
One of the key arguments made is that political supervision implied aligning supervision efforts with the implementation of the Central Committee’s major decisions, such as Hainan FTP customs closure, successfully concluding the tasks related to the 14th FYP, environmental protection, innovation, etc.
Page 2: There’s a report on Liu Guozhong’s visit to Henan. He stressed the importance of efforts to strengthen wheat field management to ensure the stable supply of agricultural products and provide strong support for a good start to the 15th FYP. Xinhua says:
“During his tour, Liu visited the counties of Anyang and Neihuang, where he went to the crop fields and agricultural service centers to gain firsthand understanding of winter wheat seedling conditions, cold and drought prevention, and the supply of agricultural materials. He stated that although the national winter wheat sowing area remains stable, seedling conditions in some regions are weak. He urged close monitoring of seedling conditions and soil moisture and effective prevention against cold waves and droughts. He also visited vegetable planting bases and agricultural product wholesale markets to learn about the supply of ‘vegetable basket’ products. Liu stressed that the period around the Spring Festival is a peak consumption season for such products, calling for better price monitoring and information release for vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, milk and aquatic products.”
Page 3: A couple of reports to note. First, Minister of Public Security Wang Xiaohong met with Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi, Pakistan’s Minister for Interior and Narcotics Control. Xinhua says:
“Wang said that China stands ready to work with Pakistan to thoroughly implement the important consensus of the two countries’ leaders, strengthen exchanges at all levels, and crack down on terrorism as well as on telecommunications and online fraud. He added that China is willing to work with Pakistan to deepen cooperation in personnel, projects, institution security and law enforcement capacity building, so as to jointly tackle risks and challenges of all kinds, uphold the two countries’ national security and social stability, and contribute to building an even closer China-Pakistan community with a shared future in the new era. Naqvi said Pakistan is ready to deepen law enforcement and security cooperation with China, and will take further measures to protect the safety of Chinese personnel, projects and institutions in Pakistan.”
Other reports inform that “Pakistan is establishing a ‘special protection unit’ in the capital Islamabad to further enhance the security of Chinese nationals and joint development projects.” Naqvi also reportedly has welcomed Chinese assistance in combating cybercrimes, saying that Pakistan wants to benefit from the expertise of Chinese institutions to strengthen the National Cyber Crimes Investigation Agency. Both sides also discussed Islamabad–Beijing sister-city cooperation and agreed on a joint strategy to improve the training and professional capacity of police and security personnel through enhanced exchange of experience and information.
Next, in what is an annual tradition, the Chinese foreign minister will visit the African countries of Ethiopia, Somalia, Tanzania and Lesotho upon invitation from Jan. 7 to 12. He will also attend the launching ceremony of the China-Africa Year of People-to-People Exchanges at the African Union headquarters,
Finally, China has taken a series of economic steps targeting Japan. First, the Ministry of Commerce announced on Wednesday that it has initiated an anti-dumping investigation into imports of dichlorosilane originating from Japan. Dichlorosilane is primarily used in the production of various types of chips. The anti-dumping probe will look at dichlorosilane imported from Japan between July 1, 2024 and June 30, 2025. It will also investigate any damage done to the Chinese dichlorosilane industry between Jan. 1, 2022 and June 30, 2025.
Second, the Ministry has also announced prohibition on the export of all dual-use items to Japanese military users, for Japan’s military use, and for any other end-users and end-use purposes that help enhance Japan’s military capabilities. The ministry said that the decision was essentially owing to Sanae Takaichi’s remarks on Taiwan.
Finally, we have this exchange from an earlier MFA press conference that’s been published:
CCTV: It’s reported that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi held a New Year’s press conference where she said challenges to a free and open international order based on the rule of law are gaining momentum. She mentioned that in the “Indo-Pacific,” China and the DPRK are increasing military power, and the cooperation between China and Russia and the cooperation between Russia and the DPRK have been enhanced. Takaichi also noted that in order to respond appropriately to the rapid changes in the security environment and with strong determination to protect Japan’s independence and peace as well as the lives and livelihood of the Japanese people, the country will proceed with discussions with the aim of revising the three national security documents by the end of this year. What’s China’s comment?
Mao Ning: According to Japanese media reports, major adjustments to the three national security documents include increasing defense spending, revising the three non-nuclear principles, lifting restrictions on arms export and developing offensive military capability. It reflects the dangerous trend of Japan “remilitarizing” itself faster, which is bound to undermine regional peace and stability. The international community must stay on high alert. With the aim of preventing the revival of Japanese militarism, a series of instruments with legal effect under international law, including the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation, clearly require Japan to be “completely disarmed” and not to maintain such industries as “would enable her to re-arm for war.” Japan’s Constitution also made strict restrictions on the country’s military forces, the right of belligerency and the right to war. However, in recent years, right-wing forces in Japan have been expediting military buildup and gradually breaking free from postwar norms such as the exclusively defense-oriented principle and a series of international rules, which constitutes a challenge to the postwar international order. The right-wing forces time and again used disguises and fabricated false narratives, and kept shifting focus, provoking its neighbors, creating troubles and stirring up tensions. They even pretended to be “threatened” and caught in a dead end. In fact, they are using “survival” and “defense” as an excuse to tie the Japanese people to the war chariot to serve their hidden agenda. What’s the difference between their practice and what the Japanese militarists did in the last century? The painful lessons of history remind us that Japanese right-wing forces’ “remilitarization” attempt has posed a threat to regional and world peace and tranquility. China and all peace-loving countries and people in the world should never allow Japanese right-wing forces to turn back the wheel of history or allow the revival of militarism.
Page 9: There’s an article by ILD chief Liu Haixing on the global significance of the Chinese path, Chinese governance, and Chinese philosophical reasoning/principles to the international community.
My Note: This is an extremely significant article. It provides a window into how the Party leadership conceives of the world and great power competition. Liu frames global politics primarily as an ideological and systemic contest, not merely a geopolitical or economic one. He is unambiguous in arguing that a competition between governance systems is already underway. Any lingering assumption that Beijing has no interest in promoting its governance model abroad should be laid to rest. Liu identifies concrete development domains where Chinese practices are gaining appeal, but goes further to claim that the CPC system itself is emerging as an attractive political model, highlighting the centrality of the Party core, the logic of self-revolution and inner-party discipline, and the advantages of economic planning. Taken together, the article signals a more confident and outward-facing ideological posture, in which China is no longer merely defending its system, but presenting it as a viable alternative for others.
He writes:
General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: ‘China to a development path that conforms to its national conditions’, and ‘the Communist Party of China, uniting and leading the Chinese people, has forged a path of modernisation that both develops itself and benefits the world’. Our Party has continuously deepened its understanding of the laws of Communist Party governance, the laws of socialist construction, and the laws of human social development. Focusing on major issues of the times such as theoretical innovation in scientific socialism, modernisation construction, and world peace and development, it has actively explored and opened up the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, successfully forged the Chinese path to modernisation, created a new form of human civilisation, and firmly followed the correct path of peaceful development for humankind, enabling the historical significance and contemporary value of the China path to be continuously manifested. 习近平总书记指出:“中国坚持走符合本国国情的发展道路”“中国共产党团结带领中国人民,走出了一条既发展自身又造福世界的现代化之路”。我们党不断深化对共产党执政规律、社会主义建设规律、人类社会发展规律的认识,围绕科学社会主义理论创新、现代化建设、世界和平发展等重大时代课题积极探索,开辟了中国特色社会主义道路,成功走出中国式现代化道路,创造了人类文明新形态,并坚定走和平发展的人间正道,使中国之路的历史意义和时代价值持续彰显.
The path of socialism with Chinese characteristics has propelled the world socialist movement to a new stage. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: ‘Marxism is a continuously developing and open theory; only through localization can it take root, and only through adaptation to the times can it be full of vitality’. Our Party adheres to combining the basic principles of Marxism with China’s specific realities and with China’s excellent traditional culture. In addressing new challenges of the times and meeting new practical requirements, we have continuously enriched and improved the Party’s theoretical system, forming the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and promoting national prosperity, national rejuvenation, and people’s happiness, demonstrating the truth power of Marxism and the practical power of socialism. In the current context of frequent systemic crises erupting in capitalism, the success of socialism with Chinese characteristics has encouraged Marxist parties in various countries to jointly promote theoretical and practical innovation, continuously strengthening the influence and appeal of socialism, and bringing about further major changes that are favourable to socialism in the historical evolution and contest between the two ideologies and two social systems of socialism and capitalism on a global scale. Some foreign political parties have highly praised the role of socialism with Chinese characteristics as a mainstay of the world socialist movement in the 21st century, and generally believe that Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era ‘is the Marxism of our era’ and ‘has made original contributions to enriching the treasury of Marxist thought.’ The path of socialism with Chinese characteristics pioneered by the Communist Party of China not only effectively guides the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics toward continuous success, but also inspires progressive forces in all countries to unite and cooperate, struggle together, and jointly create a bright socialist future.” 中国特色社会主义道路将世界社会主义运动推向新阶段。习近平总书记指出:“马克思主义是不断发展的开放的理论,本土化才能落地生根,时代化才能充满生机。”我们党坚持把马克思主义基本原理同中国具体实际相结合、同中华优秀传统文化相结合,在应对时代新课题、实践新要求中不断丰富完善党的理论体系,形成中国特色社会主义道路,推动实现国家富强、民族复兴和人民幸福,彰显了马克思主义的真理力量和社会主义的实践伟力。在资本主义系统性危机频繁爆发的当下,中国特色社会主义的成功带动各国马克思主义政党共同推动理论和实践创新,使社会主义影响力感召力不断增强,使世界范围内社会主义和资本主义两种意识形态、两种社会制度的历史演进及其较量进一步发生有利于社会主义的重大转变。国外一些政党高度评价中国特色社会主义在21世纪世界社会主义运动中的中流砥柱作用,普遍认为习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想“是我们这个时代的马克思主义”“为丰富马克思主义思想宝库作出原创性贡献”,中国共产党开创的中国特色社会主义道路不仅有效指引中国特色社会主义事业不断取得成功,更激励着各国进步力量团结协作、共同奋斗,共同创造社会主义的美好未来.
The Chinese path to modernisation has opened up a new path to modernization for developing countries. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: ‘what we pursue is not a modernization that benefits China alone, but rather the hope of achieving modernization together with all countries, including the vast number of developing countries’. Our Party, closely following changes in the global and domestic situation, has implemented the new development philosophy, built a new development paradigm, and promoted high-quality development, leading more than 1.4 billion Chinese people to march confidently towards modernization. This has driven the overall strength of developing countries to continuously grow and promoted the most significant and progressive changes in the balance of international power since modern times. Our Party persists in pioneering and innovating, closely focusing on the goals and tasks of comprehensively building a socialist modernised country. Through comprehensively deepening reform and opening up to the outside world, it has forged a distinctive Chinese path to modernisation and created a new form of human civilisation. The Chinese path to modernisation has broken the ‘Western-centric’ logic that equates ‘modernisation equals to Westernisation’, setting an example and providing an entirely new option for the vast number of developing countries to move independently and autonomously toward modernisation. Many political parties and leaders of developing countries have stated that the Chinese path to modernisation is not only dedicated to its own development but also provides important public goods to the world, greatly encouraging developing countries to explore modernisation paths that suit their national conditions with confidence and determination. Many foreign political parties, especially those in developing countries, are vying to learn from and draw on the development experience of the Chinese path to modernisation. They are creatively applying this experience to their own national conditions in areas such as infrastructure construction, poverty alleviation, and industrial cultivation and upgrading, achieving good results. 中国式现代化道路为发展中国家开辟新的现代化路径。习近平总书记指出:“我们追求的不是中国独善其身的现代化,而是期待同广大发展中国家在内的各国一道,共同实现现代化。”我们党紧紧围绕世情国情变化,贯彻新发展理念、构建新发展格局、推动高质量发展,带领14亿多中国人民昂首迈向现代化,带动发展中国家整体实力不断壮大,推动国际力量对比发生近代以来最具进步意义的重大变化。我们党坚持开拓创新,紧紧围绕全面建设社会主义现代化国家目标任务,在全面深化改革和对外开放中走出一条富有特色的中国式现代化道路,创造了人类文明新形态。中国式现代化道路打破了“现代化=西方化”的“西方中心主义”逻辑,为广大发展中国家独立自主迈向现代化树立典范、提供全新选择。许多发展中国家的政党政要表示,中国式现代化不仅致力于自身发展,也为世界提供了重要公共产品,极大鼓舞了发展中国家探索符合本国国情的现代化道路的信心和决心。许多国外政党特别是发展中国家政党竞相学习借鉴中国式现代化道路的发展经验,在基础设施建设、脱贫减贫、产业培育升级等方面结合本国国情进行创造性实践,取得良好成效.
Adhering to the path of peaceful development gathers strength for promoting world peace and advancing common development. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: ‘we will never take the old road of colonial plunder, nor will we take the crooked road that a strong country must seek hegemony; rather, we will take the correct path of peaceful development for humankind’. For a long time, China has always persisted in concentrating on construction and single-mindedly pursuing development, and in the process of adhering to the path of peaceful development, it has become the largest contributor to global development and the greatest builder of world peace. Especially at a time when geopolitical conflicts are intensifying and protectionism and unilateralism are on the rise, China has firmly acted as a force for peace, a force for stability, and a force for progress in the world, continuously injecting certainty into a world of turbulence and transformation. In the face of a shortage of global ideological public goods, General Secretary Xi Jinping, with a view to safeguarding the fundamental interests of all mankind, creatively proposed a series of new ideas and initiatives, including the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, the initiative of jointly building the Belt and Road, and the four major global initiatives. These profoundly answer the question of the times of ‘what kind of world to build and how to build this world’ and not only point out the direction forward for positive interaction between China and the world, but also contribute ideological public goods for countries to jointly respond to changes of the times, continuously attracting and uniting more international forces to walk hand-in-hand on the path of peaceful development. China’s image as a major country that values trustworthiness, cherishes friendship, upholds justice, and abides by moral principles has won high praise from the international community. The concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind has been written into multiple UN resolutions as well as various bilateral and multilateral documents; the family of jointly building the Belt and Road has come to include three quarters of the world’s countries; the four major global initiatives have received support from more than 100 countries and international organizations. Chinese concepts and Chinese initiatives are being advanced in depth and continuously put into practice on a global scale. Many countries and political parties have expressed their firm stance of standing on the right side of history with China, highly appreciating and thanking China for its important contributions to world prosperity and stability, and looking forward to further strengthening the alignment of development strategies with the implementation of China’s 15th FYP to jointly build a better world. 坚持走和平发展道路为推动世界和平、促进共同发展凝聚力量。习近平总书记指出:“我们绝不走殖民掠夺的老路,也绝不走国强必霸的歪路,而是走和平发展的人间正道。”长期以来,中国始终坚持聚精会神搞建设、一心一意谋发展,在坚持和平发展道路的进程中成为全球发展最大贡献者、世界和平最大建设者。特别是在地缘政治冲突加剧,保护主义、单边主义抬头的当下,中国坚定做世界的和平力量、稳定力量、进步力量,不断为动荡变革的世界注入确定性。面对全球思想公共产品匮乏的情况,习近平总书记着眼维护全人类根本利益,创造性提出构建人类命运共同体理念、共建“一带一路”倡议、四大全球倡议等一系列新理念新倡议,深刻回答了“建设一个什么样的世界、怎样建设这个世界”的时代课题,既为中国与世界良性互动指明前进方向,更为各国共同应对时代变局贡献思想公共产品,不断吸引团结更多国际力量在和平发展道路上携手同行。中国讲信义、重情义、扬正义、守道义的大国形象得到国际社会高度评价。构建人类命运共同体理念被写入多份联合国决议及各种双边和多边文件,共建“一带一路”大家庭已包括全球3/4国家,四大全球倡议得到100多个国家和国际组织支持,中国理念中国倡议正在全球范围得到深度推进、持续践行。许多国家和政党表达了与中国一道站在历史正确一边的坚定立场,高度赞赏并感谢中国为世界繁荣稳定作出的重要贡献,期待以中国“十五五”规划实施为契机,进一步加强发展战略对接,共同建设更加美好的世界.
In the second section, Liu outlines the unique insights that China’s governance provides for political party governance around the world. He writes:
“Since the new era, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, the modernisation process of China’s national governance system and governance capacity has continuously advanced, effectively ensuring China’s economic development and social stability. The effectiveness of the CPC’s governance is now universally recognised. Chinese governance provides inspiration and lessons for political parties around the world facing problems such as political polarisation, economic stagnation, and livelihood challenges, helping them overcome difficulties, seek effective governance, and solve the challenges of party governance to achieve national prosperity and effective governance.” 新时代以来,在以习近平同志为核心的党中央坚强领导下,我国国家治理体系和治理能力现代化进程不断推进,有力确保中国经济发展、社会稳定,中国共产党的治理效能举世公认。中国之治给世界上那些面临政治极化、经济停滞、民生艰难等问题的政党摆脱困境、求治图强,破解政党治理难题、实现党兴国治提供了启示和借鉴.
Give full play to the Party’s role as the core of leadership. Unswervingly giving full play to the Party’s core role of exercising overall leadership and coordinating all sides is the foundation of China’s governance, and the key to ensuring the correct direction of the path and achieving both development and stability. From continuously addressing the problems of unbalanced and inadequate development to successfully responding to the turbulent challenges of the external environment, our Party has united and led the entire Party and the people of all ethnic groups across the country, constantly opening up a new situation in comprehensively advancing the building of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation through Chinese-style modernisation. Practice has repeatedly proven that General Secretary Xi Jinping, as the core of the Party Central Committee and the core of the entire Party, has consistently played a decisive role in setting the banner and charting the direction.
By contrast, looking at the governance dilemmas currently faced by some foreign political parties, the endless stream of challenges is often accompanied by a loss of directionThese parties are gradually realising that strengthening the Party’s centralised and unified leadership and highlighting the crucial role of the leadership core are key to solving problems and consolidating strength. Only by avoiding political parties falling into chaos amid multiple and diverse demands can the coherence and effectiveness of policy implementation be ensured. In recent years, in exchanges between our Party and foreign political parties on experiences in governing the country, ‘party leadership’ and ‘core role’ have become frequently mentioned terms used by foreign counterparts, and are also key points they hope to learn from. Many of them have stated that, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, the CPC has continuously enhanced its capacity to manage and govern the Party, demonstrating strong cohesion, organisational capacity, and capacity for action. This stands in sharp contrast to some foreign political parties that devote their main energies to elections, engage in mutual attacks between parties in order to win, and form factions within parties, leading to a situation of fragmentation. The Communist Party of China’s tightly knit organizational system is an important ‘code’ that enables China to continuously formulate and successively implement five-year plans. Uniting and leading the entire nation to strive together around the goals of the “15th Five-Year Plan” will certainly make it possible to continuously achieve new and greater accomplishments. 发挥党的领导核心作用。坚定不移发挥党总揽全局、协调各方的领导核心作用,是中国之治的根基,是确保道路方向正确、实现发展与稳定并重的关键所在。从不断破解发展不平衡不充分难题到成功应对外部环境的风高浪急挑战,我们党团结带领全党全国各族人民,不断开创以中国式现代化全面推进强国建设、民族复兴伟业新局面。实践反复印证,习近平总书记作为党中央的核心、全党的核心,始终发挥着举旗定向的决定性作用。反观一些国外政党当前面临的治理困境,层出不穷的挑战往往伴随着方向迷失。这些政党逐渐意识到,加强党的集中统一领导、突出领导核心的关键作用,是破解难题、凝聚力量的关键所在。只有避免政党在多元诉求中陷入混乱,才能确保政策执行的连贯性和有效性。在近年来我们党同国外政党的治国理政经验交流中,“党的领导”“核心作用”成为外方提及的高频词,也是他们希望学习借鉴的关键点。他们中的许多人表示,在以习近平同志为核心的中共中央坚强领导下,中国共产党持续提升管党治党能力,展现出强大凝聚力、组织力、行动力,这与国外一些政党把主要精力投入选举,为了胜选在政党间相互攻讦、在党内拉帮结派,进而导致一盘散沙的局面形成鲜明对比。中国共产党严密的组织体系是中国能够连续制定并接续实施五年规划的重要“密码”。团结带领全国人民围绕“十五五”规划目标共同奋斗,一定能够不断取得新的更大成就。
Uphold the value orientation of putting the people first. Putting the people first is the fundamental stance of Marxism, the distinctive hallmark of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and the core essence of Chinese modernisation. Our Party’s continuous efforts to promote the step-by-step advancement of socialist modernisation have consistently demonstrated a ‘people-centered’ approach. This advanced governance model of putting the people first permeates the entire process of formulating and implementing the 15th FYP and a series of policies. The outstanding achievements in China’s economic and social development powerfully demonstrate that only by consistently making the realization, maintenance, and development of the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people the starting point and ultimate goal of all work can we ensure that we seize the historical initiative in a century of profound changes and remain invincible in increasingly fierce and complex competition.
In today’s world, the party politics of many countries have fallen into a chaotic game of polarisation and fragmentation, and quite a few political parties lack a sense of responsibility in reflecting on social rifts and people’s livelihood difficulties. Some traditional mainstream parties have lost their ‘original aspirations’, departed from the nature and purpose with which they were founded, and focus only on catering to temporary radical propositions, using ‘emotional votes’ to gain political advantage. They find it difficult to propose effective policy propositions for problems such as economic weakness, social injustice, and governance failures, and are unable to integrate the demands of different interest groups, becoming alienated from the masses and gradually losing their ruling positions; some foreign political parties, in order to compete for votes, play the ‘people’s card’, unrealistically proposing ‘eating tomorrow’s grain today’ (寅吃卯粮)–style welfare policies and economic development policies that cannot be implemented. Although these may win voter support in the short term, they sacrifice long-term development. In essence, they still safeguard the private interests of a small number of interest groups rather than the fundamental interests of the broad masses of the people. This is fundamentally different from our Party’s adherence to putting the people first. Putting the people first, as the core value content for understanding China’s governance, replaces the logic of capital with the logic of the people, thoroughly transcending erroneous ideas such as ‘private interest first’ and ‘the supremacy of capital’, and provides answers for political parties around the world to resolve development and governance challenges. 坚持人民至上的价值取向。人民至上是马克思主义的根本立场,是习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的鲜明底色,也是中国式现代化的核心要义。我们党不断推动社会主义现代化阶梯式递进的过程始终彰显“以人民为中心”。人民至上的先进治理模式贯穿“十五五”规划以及一系列政策的制定和实施全过程。中国经济社会发展取得的突出成效,有力证明只有始终把实现好、维护好、发展好最广大人民根本利益作为一切工作的出发点和落脚点,才能确保在百年变局中赢得历史主动,确保在日趋激烈的复杂博弈中立于不败之地。当今世界,多国政党政治陷入极化、碎片化的混乱博弈,不少政党对社会撕裂、民生困顿缺乏富有责任感的思考。一些传统主流政党丢掉“初心”,背离政党创立时的性质宗旨,只顾迎合一时的激进主张,利用“情绪选票”赢得政治优势,对经济乏力、社会不公、治理失效等问题难以提出行之有效的政策主张,无法整合不同利益群体的诉求,与民众离心离德,逐步丧失执政地位;还有的国外政党为争取选票打“人民牌”,不切实际地提出“寅吃卯粮”式的福利政策和无法落地的经济发展政策,虽在短期内赚取选民支持,却牺牲长远发展。其本质仍是维护少数利益集团私利而非广大人民根本利益,这同我们党坚持人民至上有本质区别。人民至上作为理解中国之治的核心价值内涵,以人民逻辑取代资本逻辑,彻底超越“私利至上”“资本至上”等错误理念,为世界各国政党破解发展和治理难题提供了答案.
Carry forward the spiritual quality of self-revolution. Our Party has always persisted in promoting the Party’s self-revolution with the tenacity and perseverance of ‘always being on the road’, continuously obtaining new results and experiences in managing and governing the Party, and providing useful references and lessons for political parties in the world regarding Party management and governance. Under the impact of the rapid development of AI and the trends of conservatism and extremism, the underlying logic and operating models of world party politics face profound challenges. Some countries’ political parties blindly rely on the checks-and-balances mechanism of Western ‘separation of powers’, failing to break out of the historical cycle of rise and fall, and sinking deeply into the quagmire of frequent government turnovers and intensifying partisan strife. Since the new era, our Party, with the resolute spirit that ‘to forge iron, one must be strong oneself’, has deeply advanced comprehensive and strict Party governance, breaking ground by formulating and implementing the 8-point central regulations, leading from example at the top, establishing credibility through concrete action, and persevering over the long term. This has not only brought about a complete renewal in Party conduct and government conduct but has also continuously strengthened the Party’s cohesion and struggle capacity. It has not only profoundly transformed China, but has also burnished the ‘golden business card’ of the Communist Party of China’s experience in managing and governing the Party on the world stage of political parties.
Many political parties and political leaders in various countries sincerely admire General Secretary Xi Jinping’s sense of mission and responsibility of ‘offending thousands or millions, but not failing 1.4 billion’, and highly praise the great courage and political wisdom of our Party’s self-revolution. They believe that the experience of the Communist Party of China of using comprehensive and strict Party governance to solve the global puzzle of party self-supervision and provide a fundamental guarantee for economic and social development is extremely valuable, and they urgently hope to strengthen anti-corruption exchanges and international cooperation with our Party. Many political parties and leaders of other countries are also very interested in the in-depth study and education on implementing the spirit of the Central Committee’s 8-point regulations conducted by our Party, and earnestly express their desire to learn from our Party’s governance wisdom of using small breakthroughs in improving work style to promote the overall improvement of Party building and governance. 弘扬自我革命的精神品质。我们党始终坚持以永远在路上的坚韧执着推进党的自我革命,不断取得管党治党新成果新经验,为世界政党提供管党治党的有益参考和借鉴。在人工智能迅速发展以及保守主义、极端主义思潮冲击下,世界政党政治底层逻辑和运行模式面临深刻挑战,一些国家政党盲目信赖西方“三权分立”的制衡机制,未能跳出历史周期率,深陷政府频繁更迭、党派纷争激化的泥潭。新时代以来,我们党以打铁必须自身硬的勇毅精神深入推进全面从严治党,从制定和落实中央八项规定开局破题,以上率下、徙木立信、久久为功,不仅推动党风政风焕然一新,而且持续增强党的凝聚力战斗力;不仅深刻改变了中国,而且在世界政党舞台上擦亮了中国共产党管党治党经验的“金色名片”。许多国家政党政要对习近平总书记“得罪千百人、不负十四亿”的使命担当由衷钦佩,对我们党自我革命的伟大勇气与政治智慧高度赞许,认为中国共产党以全面从严治党破解政党自我监督这一世界性难题并为经济社会发展提供根本保障的经验十分宝贵,迫切希望同我们党加强反腐败交流和国际合作。不少国家政党政要还十分关注我们党开展的深入贯彻中央八项规定精神学习教育,殷切提出要学习借鉴我们党从作风建设小切口破题推动管党治党水平整体提升的治理智慧.
Formulate scientific plans that focus on the long term. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: ‘scientifically formulating and successively implementing FYPs is an important experience of our Party’s governance of the country, and is also an important political advantage of socialism with Chinese characteristics.’ After World War II, some countries also attempted to formulate economic plans or programs, but overall the scientific soundness and applicability of these countries’ plans were insufficient, their implementation effects were unimpressive, or they were abandoned halfway. Looking across the world, only China has formulated and implemented five-year plans in the most sustained and successful manner, thereby creating two miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability, which are rare in the postwar international community. Our Party scientifically formulates phased development goals, clarifies key tasks and policy orientations, and effectively coordinates development resources and forces. This not only continuously enhances China’s strength, but also releases the dividends of China’s development, bringing tangible and perceptible opportunities to the world. An increasing number of political parties around the world attach importance to studying and drawing lessons from China’s long-term scientific planning. Political parties in the ‘Global South’, in particular, pay close attention to how the CPC leads the scientific formulation and successive implementation of five-year plans, and believe that China’s ability to translate long-term development goals step-by-step into tangible achievements is admirable. Many foreign political parties and leaders have said that understanding the five-year plans formulated by the CPC is a ‘guidebook’ to understanding the governance logic of the Communist Party of China and the developmental trajectory of Chinese-style modernisation. 制定着眼长远的科学规划。习近平总书记指出:“科学制定和接续实施五年规划,是我们党治国理政一条重要经验,也是中国特色社会主义一个重要政治优势。”二战后,一些国家也曾尝试制定经济计划或规划,但总的看这些国家规划的科学性、适用性不足,执行效果不彰或半途而废。放眼世界,只有中国制定和执行五年规划最持久最成功,由此创造出战后国际社会罕见的经济快速发展和社会长期稳定两大奇迹。我们党科学制定阶段性发展目标,明确重点任务和政策导向,有效统筹发展资源和力量,不仅持续提升中国力量,更释放中国发展红利,给世界带来可知可感的机遇。世界上越来越多的政党重视研究、借鉴中国着眼长远的科学规划,特别是“全球南方”国家政党十分关注中国共产党如何领导科学制定和接续实施五年规划,认为中国将长远发展目标一步一步转化为现实成就的能力令人钦佩。不少国外政党政要表示,理解中国共产党制定的五年规划,是读懂中国共产党治理逻辑、中国式现代化发展走向的“攻略”.
In the final section of the article, Liu talks about the need for China to go on a discourse offensive, explaining the guiding role of Chinese wisdom in the progress of human civilisation. He argues that:
“General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: ‘Our theoretical innovation is based on practical experience, not empty speculation while sitting in an ivory tower. We must persist in discovering truth and developing truth in practice.” Chinese philosophical reasoning (中国之理) is the theoretical source of the Chinese path and Chinese governance. It is the crystallisation of the sinicization and modernisation of Marxism and the creative transformation and innovative development of China’s fine traditional culture. It not only guides China’s practice, but also provides Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions for addressing the common problems facing today’s world. Under new circumstances, we must focus on summarising, refining, and explaining Chinese philosophical reasoning well to the outside world, promoting a close connection and mutual integration of learning, understanding, implementing, and disseminating Chinese philosophical reasoning. 习近平总书记指出:“我们推进理论创新是实践基础上的理论创新,而不是坐在象牙塔内的空想,必须坚持在实践中发现真理、发展真理”。中国之理是中国之路和中国之治的理论源头,是马克思主义中国化时代化、中华优秀传统文化创造性转化和创新性发展的结晶,既指导中国实践又为解决当今世界共同问题提供中国智慧和中国方案。新形势下,我们要着力总结提炼并对外讲好中国之理,推动学习好、领悟好、贯彻好、传播好中国之理紧密衔接、相互贯通.
Explain well the global significance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is the comprehensive culmination of Chinese philosophical reasoning; it has not only historically transformed China but also provides important inspiration for countries in solving their domestic development problems and responding to global challenges. More and more countries have come to realize that, in a world marked by intertwined turbulence and turmoil, having a strong leadership core is of great significance. They admire General Secretary Xi Jinping’s leadership capacity, influence, and appeal as a world-class leader, and ‘looking east’ and ‘learning from the Communist Party of China’ has become a trend in the world. Many political parties in Global South countries attach importance to studying and learning from Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, integrating it into their parties theories and practices, and transforming it into practical policies for their countries’ economic and social development. Some Western political parties are also increasingly interested in and deepening their understanding of the governance wisdom and development experience embodied in Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. We must fully grasp this historical opportunity and respond to the needs of the international community to continuously deepen and solidify the international dissemination of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. 讲好习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的世界意义。习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想是中国之理的集大成者,不仅历史性改变中国,也为各国解决国内发展难题和应对全球性挑战提供重要启示。越来越多的国家意识到,在变乱交织的世界拥有坚强领导核心具有重要意义,钦佩习近平总书记作为世界级领袖的领导力、影响力、感召力,国际社会向东看、向中国共产党学蔚然成风。不少“全球南方”国家政党重视学习借鉴习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想,已将其融入政党建设的理论和实践,并转化为所在国经济社会发展的实招实策。一些西方国家政党对习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想蕴含的治理智慧、发展经验的兴趣日益浓厚,理解不断加深。我们要充分把握历史机遇、顺应国际社会需求,推进习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的国际传播不断走深走实.
Explain well the contemporary value of China’s excellent traditional culture. China’s excellent traditional culture is the civilisational gene of Chinese philosophical reasoning. Since the 18th Party Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping has profoundly grasped the historical experience of the sinicization and modernisation of Marxism and the laws governing the development of Chinese civilisation, promoting the mutual compatibility and mutual enrichment of Marxism and China’s fine traditional culture. Sinicized Marxism possesses distinct Chinese characteristics, style, and spirit, fundamentally due to the nourishment of excellent traditional Chinese culture. The more national something is, the more universal it becomes; only by consistently grounding ourselves in our own long-standing cultural roots can we scientifically determine our historical position, gain deep insight into global trends, and calmly respond to risks and challenges. In today’s world of intertwined turbulence and turmoil, the fine qualities in China’s traditional culture, such as embracing the world, valuing harmony, striving for self-improvement, honoring trust and cultivating amity (胸怀天下、崇尚和谐、自强不息、讲信修睦), have regained their charm, especially forming a sharp contrast with some foreign behaviours of self-supremacism, wanton bullying, and perfidy. We must base ourselves on the great practices of the new era and use internationally accepted discourse to explain well our Party’s creative transformation and innovative development of China’s excellent traditional culture, so that the international community can more easily understand and accept the profound and enduring civilisational foundation behind China’s path and China’s governance, and continuously enhance the communicative power and influence of Chinese civilisation. 讲好中华优秀传统文化的时代价值。中华优秀传统文化是中国之理的文明基因。党的十八大以来,习近平总书记深刻把握马克思主义中国化时代化历史经验和中华文明发展规律,推动马克思主义与中华优秀传统文化彼此契合、互相成就。中国化的马克思主义具有鲜明的中国特色、中国风格、中国气派,根本上是由于中华优秀传统文化的滋养。越是民族的就越是世界的,只有始终立足我们自身悠久的文化根脉,才能科学标定历史方位,深刻认识世界大势,从容应对风险挑战。在变乱交织的当今世界,中华优秀传统文化中胸怀天下、崇尚和谐、自强不息、讲信修睦等优良品格重新焕发出魅力,特别是与国外一些唯我独尊、肆意霸凌、背信弃义的行为形成鲜明对比。我们要立足新时代伟大实践,用国际通行话语讲好我们党对中华优秀传统文化的创造性转化、创新性发展,让国际社会更易理解和接受中国之路、中国之治背后深沉持久的文明基底,不断增强中华文明的传播力影响力.
Explain well the world outlook of the CPC. Building a community with a shared future for mankind is an important concept of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, especially Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy. It is our Party’s sincere proposition and long-standing historical aspiration, grounded in Marxist truth and oriented toward the world and the future. Our Party strives not only for the happiness of the Chinese people and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, but also for the progress of humanity and a world of great harmony. Our Party’s global vision and commitment to the world are determined by its advanced nature, a characteristic it has possessed since its inception. The concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind grasps the historical laws of human social development, plans joint solutions to global challenges, pioneers new thinking in international relations, leads new directions in global governance, creates new forms of international interaction, and continuously attracts and unites the peoples of all countries to jointly build a better world. Our Party firmly believes that only when the world is good can China be good, and when China is good, the world will be even better. In today’s world, the more people who identify with this concept, the more conducive it will be to world peace and development, and it will inevitably also benefit Chinese-style modernisation and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We must clearly explain the noble intentions, realistic possibilities, and practical paths of the CPC in building a community with a shared future for mankind, further consolidating the immense power of all countries to jointly promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and creating a favourable external environment for Chinese-style modernisation. 讲好中国共产党的世界观。构建人类命运共同体是习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想特别是习近平外交思想的重要理念,是我们党秉持马克思主义真理,面向世界和未来的真诚主张和历史夙愿。我们党既为中国人民谋幸福、为中华民族谋复兴,也为人类谋进步、为世界谋大同。我们党的世界眼光、天下情怀是由我们党的先进性本质决定的,从诞生之日起就须臾不离。构建人类命运共同体把握人类社会发展的历史规律,谋划应对全球性挑战的共同方案,开创性确立国际关系新思路,引领全球治理新方向,打造国际交往新形态,不断吸引团结世界各国人民共建美好世界。我们党坚信,世界好,中国才会好;中国好,世界会更好。当今世界,对这一理念认同的人越多,就越有利于世界的和平与发展,也必然有利于中国式现代化和中华民族伟大复兴。我们要讲清中国共产党与世界一道构建人类命运共同体的美好初衷、现实可能、实践路径,进一步凝聚世界各国共同推动构建人类命运共同体的磅礴伟力,为中国式现代化营造良好外部环境.
On this new journey, the Party’s external work will consistently be guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, particularly Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy and General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions on the Party’s external work. Focusing on the main goals and key tasks of economic and social development during the 15th FYP period, we will firmly grasp the ‘three important’ positionings, i.e., that the Party’s external work is an important front of the Party, an important component of the nation’s overall diplomacy, and an important manifestation of major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics. Under the centralised and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, we will exert our unique features and advantages, continuously consolidate the global network of political party partnerships, deeply tell the world significance of the path of China, the governance of China, and the Chinese philosophical reasoning, and make greater contributions to realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and promoting the cause of human progress. 新征程上,党的对外工作将始终坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想特别是习近平外交思想以及习近平总书记关于党的对外工作的重要论述为指导,着眼“十五五”时期经济社会发展的主要目标和重点任务,牢牢把握党的对外工作是党的一条重要战线、国家总体外交的重要组成部分、中国特色大国外交的重要体现这“三个重要”定位,在党中央集中统一领导下发挥好特色和优势,不断夯实全球政党伙伴关系网络,深入讲好中国之路、中国之治、中国之理的世界意义,为实现中华民族伟大复兴、促进人类进步事业作出更大贡献.
