The people's congress system and the system of multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the CPC play a pivotal role in the structure of China's political systems, and they are important factors for the full operation of people's democracy. China holds the "two sessions" (the National People's Congress session and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee session) every spring. People from all walks of life and people from all walks of life gather in the capital, including compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, to discuss state affairs, find common points and draw a comprehensive picture of national development. This year's sessions captured the world's attention. In the face of multiple challenges such as the rapid development of the global formation, the difficulty of global economic recovery, and the spread of the Corona virus pandemic, China's economic and social development has broken through the waves, and the diplomacy of the great country with Chinese characteristics has continued to break new ground, which increases certainty and stability in the turbulent international environment.
Brings the Chinese update
An important inspiration for developing countries
China, with a population of more than 1.4 billion, is advancing towards complete modernization, an unprecedented achievement in human history. Chinese-style modernization solved many problems in the development of human society and told the world that “modernization ≠ westernization” and brought important inspirations to the world, especially to developing countries:
First, independence and taking the initiative — Chinese modernization is consolidating the same pattern on Chinese soil, rooted in Chinese culture, and in line with Chinese reality. China's successful development comprehensively demonstrates that all countries have the right and ability to choose their own development path and take their own destiny into their own hands.
Secondly, people above all – Chinese-style modernization is the modernization of common prosperity for all people. Serving a few countries and people is not modernization, and gross polarization between rich and poor is not modernization. All people are entitled to equal development and pursuit of happiness.
Third, peaceful development – Chinese modernization is different from Western modernization. It is not achieved by war, colonization and plunder, but by adhering to peace, development, cooperation and win-win.
Fourth, openness and tolerance – it is important to respect the path of modernization taken by all countries in line with their national conditions, communicate, benefit and complement each other.
Fifth, Struggle in Solidarity – through them, mobilizing the mighty unifying force that drives us into entrepreneurship and encourages us to implement the broad outlines non-stop. If China is in a state of conflicts between parties like some countries, which does not fulfill its promises and changes its policies at its own whim, then the outlines will be far-fetched illusions hanging in the air, no matter how beautiful they look.
"High-quality development" provides a Chinese model for all countries in economic and social development.
High-quality development is the first task of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. China has always grasped, measured and promoted economic and social development with the new development idea of innovation, green coordination, openness and sharing.
The Government Business Report for the year 2023 presented the main expected objectives such as a growth of the domestic product at a rate of 5%, job creation for about 12 million people in cities and towns, an increase in consumer prices at a rate of 3%, and a balance between the growth of population income and economic growth mainly, maintaining the volume of production of food grains At more than 650 trillion tons…. There are not only "quantity" requirements, but prominence in the pursuit of "quality" as well, and this is a vivid explanation of high-quality development. In addition, China's deep opening to the outside world has continuously improved the quality of development and increased its efficiency. Although China was affected by the coronavirus pandemic last year, the import and export volume of countries along the "Belt and Road" increased by 19.4% over last year, and China remains the world's largest merchandise trade country. Meanwhile, China has achieved remarkable results in green development, and visible improvement in air, water, soil, etc. Last year, the annual average concentration of particulate matter (PM2.5) in more than 339 cities decreased by 3.3%. Good results have been achieved in comprehensive river basin management, wetland restoration and desertification control. China has also actively participated in the global biodiversity construction and proposed many innovative ideas, providing a valuable reference in the green development of other countries. China will unswervingly promote high-quality development, inject new vitality and new impetus into the global economy through its own development, and create more New opportunities for the world.
China contributes wisdom and solutions to safeguard peace and promote common development of the world
China will always take the world as a whole into consideration, actively participate in the process of global governance and shoulder its international responsibility. In these ten years, President Xi Jinping has made a series of important initiatives and calls in succession, including the establishment of a community with a shared future for mankind, cooperation in building the "Belt and Road", the global development initiative, the global security initiative, and the global civilizations initiative. The central idea of all these concepts is That all countries depend on each other, humanity shares one future, and the international community must unite and cooperate. Solidarity and cooperation contribute to defeating the coronavirus pandemic, confronting climate change, filling the deficit in peace, security, development and governance, and building an open, inclusive, clean and beautiful world in which lasting peace, global security and common prosperity prevail.
Over the ten years since the launch of the "Belt and Road" initiative, China has always been working to transform it from vision to reality, which has achieved practical results in favor of development in different countries, provided tangible benefits for people's livelihood, paved a wide path for common development, and contributed to stimulating investment with a value of nearly one trillion dollars. American, establishing more than 3,000 cooperation projects, providing 420,000 job opportunities for the bordering countries, and lifting about 40 million people out of poverty. This year, China will host the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, which will definitely achieve fruitful results and better benefit the people of all countries.
Finally, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs officially issued the concept document on the Global Security Initiative, which clarifies the central concepts and principles of the initiative. The Chinese solutions also present the views of the most prominent international security concerns at the present time, which embodies the Chinese responsibility in maintaining world peace and its determination to protect global security. And that China put forward the initiative, it has practiced and implemented it, and pushed for translating its spirit into reality. During the two-session period, the three parties China, Saudi Arabia and Iran reached an agreement and issued a joint tripartite statement, and Saudi Arabia and Iran agreed to resume diplomatic relations between them under China's hosting and sponsorship, which is a new successful example of global security initiative practice and shows China's prominent position and responsibility in promoting security and stability in the world. The Middle East and cooperation with the countries of the region to achieve development and prosperity and push for solidarity and self-strengthening.
Xi Jinping was unanimously elected President of the People's Republic of China and Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the People's Republic of China, inspiring hundreds of millions of Chinese citizens to join forces and move towards new goals. We look forward to working with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the new march to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, to share development wisdom and experiences with each other, to link joint construction in the Belt and Road Initiative to Vision 2030 more deeply, and to develop comprehensive strategic partnership relations based on the principles of equality, mutual benefit, cooperation and win-win. And make new contributions to promoting peace, stability, development and prosperity of the world.
