On October 23, 2022, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, who was just elected at the first plenary meeting of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and Li Qiang, Zhao Leji, Wang Huning, Cai Qi, Ding Xuexiang, and Li Xi, members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, met with Chinese and foreign journalists visiting the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

At the First Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, Xi Jinping was elected to continue serving as the General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee. He delivered a speech in front of the Chinese and foreign media, saying that "we are vigorously embarking on a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, marching towards the second century goal, and comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese style modernization".

Since he served as the General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee for 10 years, China has undergone landmark changes, with the total economic volume jumping from 54 trillion yuan to 114 trillion yuan, winning the battle against poverty on schedule, completing the historical task of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and achieving the first century goal.

As the core of the CPC Central Committee and the whole party, Xi Jinping shoulders a heavy responsibility. He united and led the whole Party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups in the country to implement the promise of the Chinese Dream made 10 years ago, vigorously promote reform, opening up and modernization, ushered in a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and led the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation into an irreversible historical process.

Robert Kuhn, an American scholar who wrote How Chinese Leaders Think, said that Xi Jinping has an objective and comprehensive understanding of China's national conditions and detailed and rational thinking about China's future. Stephen Perry, chairman of 48 group clubs in the UK, said that all the driving forces of Xi Jinping's work come from the people, which is crucial to China's development at this stage.

Samano Benchener, the former deputy general manager of EDL, who was a classmate of Xi Jinping at Beijing Bayi School, said that Xi Jinping did things not for personal gain, but for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and in this process, the world also benefited.

1、 Walking all the way from the loess land

"More than eight years later, the General Secretary's" Big Sister "call to my heart, and I feel very warm when I think about it," Shi Basan recalled. In November 2013, Xi Jinping came to Shibadong Village in Xiangxi, Hunan Province along the narrow mountain road, and walked into the village of Shiba Sanjia. Shi Basan is illiterate, has not watched TV, and does not know the General Secretary of the Party. She asked, "What's your name?" Xi Jinping took her hand and said, "I'm the people's attendant." When she learned that Shi Basan was 64 years old, Xi Jinping said, "You are the eldest sister."

In October 2021, the Yellow River estuary in Dongying, Shandong Province. Xi Jinping walked into the field, bent down to pick a pod, twirled a bunch of beans, looked at the color, put a soybean in his mouth, and chewed it carefully: "The beans grow very well." The agricultural technology director beside him sighed, "This is a move only for old farmers."

In the past 10 years, Xi Jinping has made about 100 visits to the grass-roots level, each time he would come to the masses and ask for help. He paid New Year's greetings to couriers in Hutong, talked with migrant workers at the construction site, discussed the solution to the problem of taking a taxi with "taxi brother" and "sister" in the taxi company, and praised the sanitation workers at the cleaning station as the "beautician" of the city …… These words and deeds show that the General Secretary of the Party, who came all the way from the loess land, has deep feelings for the people.

In June 1953, Xi Jinping was born into a revolutionary family. His father, Xi Zhongxun, was a proletarian revolutionary of the older generation of the Communist Party of China. Xi Jinping was deeply influenced by his father when he was young. Later, he described his father as "like an old ox, working silently for the Chinese people"; "It also encourages me to devote my whole life energy to the cause of serving the people, serving my beautiful China and the people".

On February 13, 2015, Xi Jinping visited the villagers in Liangjiahe Village, Wenanyi Town, Yanchuan County, Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province, and carried out field research on poverty alleviation in the old area. Photographed by Lan Hongguang, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency

Under the age of 16, Xi Jinping left Beijing with a sewing bag embroidered with the words "mother's heart" sewn by his mother Qixin, and went to the countryside of northern Shaanxi to join the team for seven years.

He called himself a farmer when he recalled this period of life. He stayed away from his family, slept in caves, was bitten by fleas, and ate all kinds of hardships with his fellow villagers, such as herding sheep, cutting grass, carrying dung, and pulling coal. Xi Jinping joined the Communist Party of China in Liangjiahe and served as the secretary of the Party branch of the brigade. His wish is to "let the villagers have a full meal of meat". He led the villagers to dig wells, build silt dams, build terraces and build biogas digesters. A year later, the villagers could not see the situation of fleeing from famine without enough food.

In 2013, when Xi Jinping visited Costa Rica and visited a farmer's home, he especially mentioned his experience as a farmer. "Few national leaders will be proud of being a farmer." Alberto, the son of the farmer owner, said, "Other leaders may not mention this experience, but Xi Jinping is not."

On June 3, 2013, Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan, who were on a state visit to Costa Rica, visited the Zamora family of local farmers and had cordial exchanges with them. Xinhua News Agency (photographed by Zhang Duo)

The hardships of rural life made Xi Jinping particularly cherish food. As the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), he made instructions on "waste on the tip of the tongue" many times, and requested to carry out "CD-ROM action". He repeatedly told the Chinese that their jobs should be "firmly in their own hands".

Xi Jinping said that his understanding of the word "people" came from his feelings when he cut ranks in northern Shaanxi. The idea of serving the people runs through his political career. Xi Jinping joined the General Office of the Central Military Commission as the Secretary of the Minister of National Defense after graduating from university in the late 1970s. Three years later, he took the initiative to apply for work at the grass-roots level and came to work in the impoverished Zhengding County of Hebei Province. His wife Peng Liyuan recalled that many of his classmates had gone abroad to earn money, and he did not go out without conditions, but he chose a more difficult road and chose to be a public servant of the people.

In 1989, Xi Jinping, then the secretary of Ningde Prefecture Party Committee in Fujian Province, led more than 1000 cadres of directly administered organs to the Nanji water conservancy site in Ningde County to take part in the work of clearing ditches, removing obstacles and repairing canals. Shen Jizhong

In the third year of Zhengding, Xi Jinping cycled around 25 communes and more than 220 brigades in the county. Sometimes, when he went to the countryside to investigate and just caught up with the villagers who were hoeing and thinning seedlings, Xi Jinping rolled up his sleeves and picked up a hoe to work with the villagers. He also gave the Jeep of the county party committee to reporters. He said: "Reporters are short of time and have heavy tasks. They have many places to run and have a long way to go."

After that, he went to the coastal city of Xiamen, Fujian, as the vice mayor. He bought a "Wuyi" brand bicycle and took the staff to the community street or factory for investigation. Later, Xi Jinping went to Ningde as secretary of the local Party committee. He took the cadres to the poor Xiadang Township for investigation, and when there was no way, they used knives to cut down weeds and walked there. Seeing that farmers were poor, Xi Jinping gave them his own money. He decided to build roads and hydropower stations for the villages, pointing out the way out of poverty.

In Zhengding, he ran all over the villages; In Ningde, he traveled to nine counties within three months of taking office, and then to most towns and villages; After arriving in Zhejiang, I spent more than one year traveling to 90 counties and cities across the province; In seven months in Shanghai, he has traveled all over the city's 19 districts and counties; After serving as General Secretary, he has covered 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities, as well as Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions. He repeatedly quoted Mao Zedong's famous saying that "no investigation, no right to speak" and stressed that cadres should master the "basic skills" of grassroots research.

At the end of December 2012, President Xi Jinping went to visit poor families in Fuping, Hebei Province, more than a month after he served as General Secretary. He sat cross legged on the kang, and his fellow villagers held hands to ask about their living conditions in detail. On this trip, he issued a mobilization order to the whole party and the whole country to fight against poverty. Two months before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping walked into an old and renovated community in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, and cared about the daily life of residents.

On December 30, 2012, Xi Jinping visited Tang Rongbin's elderly family in Luotuowan Village, Longquanguan Town, Fuping County, Hebei Province. Photographed by Lan Hongguang, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency

Xi Jinping worked in Fujian for 17 and a half years. In a place with beautiful scenery, his feelings for nature have been further sublimated. Once when he visited Shangqingxi in Taining County, a red carp jumped onto the bamboo raft. The linesman said that he had a good time. Xi Jinping, however, took off his shoe covers, filled them with water, put the carp in and released them at a safe place in the downstream water depth, and told his peers to "protect the environment well". As the General Secretary, he transformed the assertion that "green waters and green mountains are golden mountains" put forward by the Secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee into an unprecedented national action to build ecological civilization.

He extended the "appeal system" established in Fujian to the post of Secretary of Shanghai Municipal Party Committee. In 2007, various contradictions were highlighted in Shanghai. The problems of relocation, enterprise restructuring, rural land and collective assets distribution were all difficult problems. Xi Jinping proposed that leading cadres should pay a visit. Some people are worried about "causing trouble", but Xi Jinping is very determined, saying: "I have made a visit in Zhejiang, and I have encountered the grand scene of thousands of people, so I have nothing to fear."

Xi Jinping continued to carry forward his character of being close to the people after he worked in the Central Committee. On the eve of the Spring Festival, he always goes to people's homes to send greetings. His experience of starving and farming in the countryside in his early years may explain that he almost always lifts the lid of the pot, inspects the cellar, touches the fire wall and looks at the toilet in his fellow villagers' home. He also kept in touch with the people frequently by means of communication, from grain growers to private entrepreneurs, from primary school students in old revolutionary base areas to returned young scholars, from Ulan herders to border guards.

In 2013, he made the decision and deployment of targeted poverty alleviation, sending 255000 village teams, more than 3 million first secretaries and village cadres to the countryside to help poor farmers point-to-point. Kuhn believes that Xi Jinping's leadership and determination to fulfill the commitment to poverty alleviation are one of the main reasons for China's success in poverty alleviation.

While men often shed tears, Xi Jinping shed tears for the people. In 1966, the junior high school teacher read Jiao Yulu, the example of the county party secretary, in class, and Xi Jinping was tearful. "Later, whether I went to the countryside, went to university, joined the army, or did leadership work, the image of Comrade Jiao Yulu has always been in my mind," Xi Jinping said. He also recalled: "The moment when he said goodbye to Liangjiahe Village was the most unforgettable thing for jumping in the queue, and that time was crying in public." In 2015, Xi Jinping returned to Liangjiahe Village and paid for the purchase of "New Year goods" to pay New Year greetings to villagers.

Sharing weal and woe with the people helped Xi Jinping consolidate and deepen his ideals and beliefs when he joined the Party. He summarized it as: seeking happiness for the people and rejuvenation for the nation. In the past 10 years, he initiated five times of centralized learning and education within the Party, requiring Party members to "never forget their original intention and keep their mission in mind".

When Xi was young, his mother told him the story of Yue Fei's "devotion to the country". "The four words' loyalty to the country ', which I remember from that time to the present, is also the goal of my life," he said.

Xi Jinping is well aware of the sufferings of China a hundred years ago, describing that time as "a scene of decline and decay". In 2018, when he visited Liugong Island in Shandong Province, he boarded the fort site and pondered for a long time in the face of the Yellow Sea. At the Sino Japanese War Museum, he recited Wen Yiduo's "Song of the Seven Sons Weihaiwei" in full. This small island of less than 4 square kilometers witnessed the collapse of the Northern Navy of the Qing Dynasty, which was known as "the first in the Far East" more than a century ago. The defeat forced the Qing government to cede Taiwan and compensate Japan for huge sums of money.

Xi Jinping, the first general secretary of the CPC Central Committee born in New China, felt the pride of the Republic to "stand up" - the victory of the war against the US and aid Korea, the establishment of a relatively complete industrial system, and the creation of "two bombs and one star" …… He praised these achievements and said that "only socialism can save China and only socialism can develop China".

Xi Jinping is passionate about reform and opening up. From the relatively backward inland to the developed coastal areas, he is the leader in attracting investment, promoting foreign trade and promoting the common development of diversified ownership economies. During Xi Jinping's work in Fuzhou, it was the stage where Taiwan funded and foreign-funded enterprises were introduced most. In Zhejiang, he supported the development of private enterprises and asked people to learn the spirit of struggle of private entrepreneurs. After serving as General Secretary, Xi Jinping presided over the private enterprise symposium. He said, "Private enterprises and private entrepreneurs are our own people", "China's private economy can only grow, not weaken".

He is good at thinking from a pragmatic and long-term strategic perspective. In Fuzhou, he put forward the "3820" project, and asked that "we should do it right away and work hard". The "August 8th Strategy" proposed by him is still the guide for the development of Zhejiang Province. He has long advocated the construction of "digital Fujian" and "digital Zhejiang", and has installed an information engine for regional development. "He can always foresee the economic situation in the longer term," said Wang Jing, a private entrepreneur in Fujian.

In 2020, Xi Jinping led the drafting of the proposal of the CPC Central Committee on formulating the "14th Five Year Plan" and the long-term goals for 2035, making a systematic plan for China's long-term development. In order to make a good plan, he presided over several symposiums, listened to the opinions and suggestions of entrepreneurs, scientists, grass-roots representatives and other aspects, and instructed to conduct online consultation. Internet users actively participated, leaving more than 1 million messages, from which more than 1000 suggestions were sorted out.

Xi Jinping participated in the preparations for the World Expo during his tenure as Secretary of the CPC Shanghai Municipal Committee and Vice President of the People's Republic of China. The Shanghai World Expo, attended by 246 countries and international organizations, attracted more than 73 million visitors from home and abroad. After assuming the post of General Secretary, Xi Jinping proposed to set up the world's first national level exhibition with the theme of import - China International Import Expo. He promoted the formation of a national "exhibition matrix", including the China International Fair, the China International Trade Fair, the China International Consumer Fair and the Canton Fair, to expand opening up and meet the growing demand of Chinese consumers for a better life.

During the 10 years since Xi Jinping was appointed General Secretary, the wealth of the people has been growing. In 2021, the per capita disposable income of Chinese residents will be 35128 yuan, an increase of nearly 80% over 2012. The income ratio of urban and rural residents narrowed to 2.5:1.

In Xi Jinping's words, everything we have done is "people-oriented". In his autobiographical article "I am the son of the Loess Land", he wrote: "Love the people as your parents do, work for the interests of the people, and lead the people to a better life." After he became General Secretary in 2012, he said: "The people's desire for a better life is our goal." After he was elected General Secretary at the First Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, he said, "The people will always be our most solid support and the most powerful confidence", "We must always stay with the people through thick and thin, and we must always be in touch with the people".

Xi Jinping has a high "popularity" among the people. An old branch secretary of a mountain village gave him a thumbs up and praised him to his face: "You did a good job!" Young people drew "Caricature for people" for him online. According to the survey of Harvard Kennedy School of Government, the Chinese people are 93% satisfied with the Chinese government under the leadership of the Party. According to the report released by Edelman, a world-famous public relations consulting company, the trust of Chinese people in the government will reach 91% in 2021, ranking first in the world.

2、 Bring China to prosperity

There is an exhibit in Guangdong Shantou Port Opening Culture Exhibition Hall, which is the relevant planning map of Sun Yat sen's "General Plan for the Founding of the People's Republic of China". This blueprint of modern China's pursuit of modernization could not be implemented under the conditions at that time. Xi Jinping has stood in front of it for a long time. He sighed: "Only we Chinese Communists have realized it." In his view, all the struggles that the Communist Party of China has united and led the Chinese people for a hundred years are to build China into a modern power and realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

On January 8, 2020, the education summary conference on the theme of "never forget the original intention and remember the mission" was held in Beijing. Xi Jinping attended the meeting and delivered an important speech. Photographed by Ju Peng, reporter of Xinhua News Agency

The situation Xi Jinping faced when he took office 10 years ago was mixed with joy and sorrow. At that time, China was already the world's second largest economy and the largest manufacturing country, but the downward pressure on China's economy increased, and the economic development mode needed to be changed urgently. Resolving corruption, environmental pollution, polarization between rich and poor and other issues are all the ruling challenges facing the CPC.

Both inside and outside the Party expect Xi Jinping to bring about changes. He lived up to the expectations of all, vowed that "forging iron requires hard work", carried out the Party's self revolutionary strategic deployment and formulated and implemented the strategic policy of comprehensively and strictly governing the Party. Xi Jinping launched the largest anti-corruption struggle in the history of the Communist Party of China. He said: "What should be done should be done, and those who should be offended should be offended …… If we do not offend hundreds of corrupt elements, we will offend 1.3 billion people. "

Less than a month after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Li Chuncheng, the former deputy secretary of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, was investigated for corruption. This opened the prelude to a strong anti-corruption campaign. In the past 10 years, Zhou Yongkang, Bo Xilai, Guo Boxiong, Xu Caihou, Sun Zhengcai, Ling Jihua and other high ranking "tigers" have been defeated, as well as national ministries and commissions, top leaders of central enterprises, provincial and municipal leaders, county and township level cadres, and some seemingly insignificant "Zhima officials". Xi Jinping declared an overwhelming victory in the fight against corruption and consolidated it in an all-round way, but warned the whole party to keep a clear head and "always blow the bugle and remember that anti-corruption is always on the way".

By doing so, he ensured the purity and effectiveness of more than 96 million Party members and 4.9 million grass-roots Party organizations. Xi Jinping believes that the key to building China into a modern socialist power is to uphold and strengthen the Party's overall leadership. He visited the revolutionary hometown and red hot land, reliving the eventful years and drawing strength from the centennial history of the Party. He said that we should make the centennial party "always become the most reliable and strongest backbone of the Chinese people". He presided over the requirements of carrying forward the great spirit of building the Party, such as adhering to the truth, adhering to the ideal, fulfilling the original intention, undertaking the mission, not afraid of sacrifice, heroic struggle, being loyal to the Party and living up to the people, which were written into the Party Constitution at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

He repeatedly exhorted the whole party to learn from the lessons of the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the collapse of the Soviet Communist Party, and reiterated the necessity of building up the ideal and belief of communism, and called for strengthening the Party's discipline. Less than 20 days after assuming the post of General Secretary, he presided over the formulation of the "Eight Provisions". He directed to strengthen the verification of the report on the personal affairs of leading cadres, and standardized the business and enterprise behaviors of more than 4700 leading cadres' spouses, children and their spouses. He led the formulation and revision of a series of inner-party laws and regulations, such as the Several Guidelines for Inner Party Political Life in the New Situation, and improved the inspection system for officials. He led the establishment of the National Supervision Committee, which included everyone who held public office in the supervision.

Xi Jinping played a key role in reshaping the Party. Liu Jingbei, Vice President of China Pudong Cadre College, said that Xi Jinping has made the whole party more unified in ideology, more united in politics and more consistent in action, and the weakening, emptiness and marginalization of the party's leadership in some places and departments have been fundamentally reversed. "The overall strengthening of the Party's leadership has provided a fundamental guarantee for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."

Xi Jinping called on people to learn from heroes, and leaders formulated the Law on the Protection of Heroes and Martyrs, and established and improved the system of merit and honor recognition. He put forward the socialist core values, pointing out that patriotism is the deepest, most fundamental and most eternal. In the past 10 years, "positive energy" has become one of the most familiar words in China.

When he was the secretary of Zhengding County Party Committee, Xi Jinping was eager for talents, launched three surveys of intellectuals in the county, established Zhengding's first ever "talent account", and wrote a nationwide "talent recruitment list", attracting hundreds of professionals. After assuming the post of General Secretary, Xi Jinping established the principle of having both ability and integrity, and putting morality first. The newly revised regulations on the appointment of cadres advocate the standard of high-quality and professional cadres with "loyalty, cleanness and responsibility". Xi Jinping proposed that leading cadres should have eight skills - from being good at learning to being able to manage risks. A large number of people with firm ideals and convictions who want to do something and can do something have taken up leadership positions at all levels of the party, government and army. He emphasized that "talents are the first resource", "gather talents from all over the world and use them", and build a talent power.

He called for the vigorous development of socialist democracy, saying that the people are mainly used to solve the problems that the people need to solve, and that the kind of democracy in which the people are awakened only when they vote and enter a dormant period after the vote is formalistic. In 2019, when inspecting a street in Shanghai, he proposed that "people's democracy is a democracy in the whole process". In the past 10 years, the systems and procedures of democratic election, democratic consultation, democratic decision-making, democratic management and democratic supervision have been further established and improved.

On November 2, 2019, Xi Jinping talked cordially with Chinese and foreign residents who participated in the consultation meeting on the draft law at Gubei Citizen Center, Hongqiao Street, Changning District, Shanghai, and asked in detail about the work of soliciting opinions on the draft law.

The comprehensive rule of law promoted by Xi Jinping is a profound revolution in national governance. He proposed to basically build a country, government and society ruled by law by 2035. Xi Jinping is the first Chinese president to swear before the Constitution. He said that the Constitution has the highest legal status, legal authority and legal effect.

In the past 10 years, the National People's Congress and its Standing Committee have formulated 70 new laws and revised 238 laws. A civil code belonging to the Chinese people was born, and civil rights were better protected. The first comprehensive and systematic foreign investment legislation, the Foreign Investment Law, was implemented to promote the implementation of high-level investment liberalization and facilitation policies. For the blank area of emerging fields, data security law, personal information protection law and other laws have also been introduced. Xi Jinping promoted the rectification of the judicial team and the elimination of the black sheep. He said that he would "strive to make the people feel fair and just in every judicial case".

On March 17, 2018, the first session of the 13th National People's Congress held its fifth plenary meeting in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

With the overall strengthening of the Party's leadership, the creation of a new situation in the building of democracy and the rule of law, and the deepening of the fight against corruption, the country with a population of 1.4 billion has maintained long-term social stability, and the environment for rapid economic development has become better. Xi Jinping proposed to adapt to the new normal and promote reform across the deepwater zone. Since he served as General Secretary, he has gone to Guangdong, the forefront of reform and opening up three times, and declared that "reform and opening up is a key move that determines the fate of contemporary China". He heads the Central Committee for the Comprehensive Deepening of Reform, the Central Committee for the Comprehensive Rule of Law, the Central Cyber Security and Information Technology Commission, the Central Finance and Economics Commission, the Central Foreign Affairs Commission, the Central Audit Commission and other institutions to strengthen the Party's leadership over reform and opening up. He called for the "decisive role" of the market in resource allocation. He led the streamlining of government agencies, tax cuts for enterprises, and promoted the establishment of a new type of government business relationship.

Since the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in 2013, more than 2000 reform plans have been put forward in all aspects, including the party and state institutions, judicial system, economic system, culture, education, medical care, old-age care and other aspects. The reform goals and tasks proposed by the plenary session have been completed on schedule. The number of pilot free trade zones has increased to 21, and the whole Hainan Island has become a free trade port.

Xi Jinping put forward the new development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing. Peter Kenig, a former senior economist of the World Bank, said that the new development concept is the core of Xi Jinping's economic thought, which well describes the guiding principles of China's economic transformation. Xi Jinping proposed the supply side structural reform, led China's economy to "high-quality development", and accelerated the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic macro cycle as the main body and the domestic and international dual cycle promoting each other. In the past 10 years, the balance, coordination and sustainability of economic development have been significantly enhanced, which also gives China greater confidence and ability to overcome the risk challenges that follow.

Xi Jinping often goes to the front line of production and operation to investigate and promote economic development. Once he went to the production workshop of a domestic automobile enterprise, saw several self owned brand cars parked, and sat in to experience. Xi Jinping told researchers that "the development of new energy vehicles is the only way for China to move from a big automobile country to a powerful automobile country", and the new energy vehicle industry should "become a strong growth point". Data shows that since 2015, China's production and sales of new energy vehicles have ranked first in the world for seven consecutive years. Xi Jinping talked with village cadres about the sales of ham and liquor. During the COVID-19 epidemic, he walked into the live broadcast platform of a village and was called "the best delivery man" by netizens; Then I went to care about the export orders of plush toys from community factories. He also walked down the street to the snack bar to see varieties, talk about standards, and ask about prices.

Under his leadership, China has consolidated its position as the world's second largest economy. In the past 10 years, the gross domestic product (GDP) has doubled, accounting for 18.5% of the world economy from 11.3% in 2012. The average contribution of China's economy to world economic growth has exceeded 30%. China is the first major economy to recover positive economic growth after the outbreak of COVID-19.

In 2021, China's import and export volume will exceed $6 trillion, and its trade with the United States will grow by nearly 30% year on year, reaching $755.6 billion, a record high. According to the 2022 China Business Environment Survey Report of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, 66% of member enterprises plan to increase their investment in China this year, and China is still one of the top three investment destinations of 60% of member enterprises' recent global investment plans.

Xi Jinping repeatedly stressed that "development should be people centred". He concluded that the main contradiction in Chinese society has been transformed into "the contradiction between the people's growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development". He is concerned about the common people's "education for children, education, work, medical care for the sick, security for the elderly, housing and support for the weak". He inspected universities, middle schools, primary schools, vocational schools, nursing homes, hospitals and welfare homes, checked the recipes of the elderly, and told children to "civilize their spirit and barbarize their physique".

Xi Jinping focused on promoting the "education power". When working in Fuzhou, he also served as the president of Minjiang Vocational University, and put forward the school running policy of "not seeking the largest, but seeking the best, but seeking to adapt to social needs". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the proportion of national financial education expenditure in GDP has remained above 4% for 10 consecutive years, and education has become the largest expenditure in the general public budget.

From the implementation of the "three child" birth policy to the "double reduction" of education, from the establishment of the world's largest social security network and medical insurance network to the use of the latest version of the national medical insurance drug catalog, from the reform of the household registration system to the abolition of the labor education system, the shelter education system, from the promotion of garbage classification, clean heating, toilet revolution to the promotion of "houses are for living, not for speculation", Xi Jinping made specific instructions and deployment. The coverage of accessible facilities for 85 million disabled people also continued to increase under his promotion.

Xi Jinping officially put common prosperity on the policy agenda and stressed that this is the essential requirement of socialism. Zhejiang Province, where he once served as the secretary of the provincial Party committee, is currently taking the lead in exploring the way to achieve high-quality development and promote common prosperity for the whole country. "Gradually realizing the common prosperity of all people" was written into the Party Constitution at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

Xi Jinping said that on the road to common prosperity, one cannot fall behind; To build a modern socialist country in an all-round way, no nation can live without it. There are 56 ethnic groups in China. In the past 10 years, Xi Jinping has visited ethnic minority areas for many times, often saying that all ethnic groups "should hold together like pomegranate seeds", and should build a strong sense of the community of the Chinese nation.

In the past 10 years, China's ecological environment protection has undergone historic, turning and overall changes. The "double carbon" goal proposed by Xi Jinping shows China's ambition to participate in global climate governance. He deployed a 10-year ban on fishing in key waters of the Yangtze River basin, and established a river leader system so that every river in the country has a "health guardian". With the ecological improvement, giant pandas, Tibetan antelopes, snow leopards, etc. have all removed the "endangered" label.

Beijing once had serious air pollution. Xi Jinping once said that the first thing he did every morning was to see how the air quality was. He led China's efforts to prevent and control air, water and soil pollution. Not only has Beijing's air quality improved significantly, but the whole country has also improved. According to the research report of the Energy Policy Research Institute of the University of Chicago, China has reduced the concentration of air pollutants by about 40% between 2013 and 2020. If this trend continues, it will increase the average life expectancy of citizens by two years.

Xi Jinping recognized the key role of scientific and technological innovation very early, and devoted great enthusiasm and energy to it. In Zhengding, a former radio station employee resigned to run a factory, and developed a new type of stage lighting equipment that can automatically identify tone changes. Xi Jinping awarded him the "Self study Talent Award" printed with the words "County Party Secretary and County Chief Award", and personally helped open the market for products.

After Xi Jinping became General Secretary, he placed scientific and technological innovation at the core of the overall national development, emphasized that "science and technology are the first productive force" and "innovation is the first power", and proposed the strategic goal of building a world scientific and technological power. He presided over the collective learning of the Politburo and invited experts to teach cutting-edge scientific and technological topics such as artificial intelligence, big data, quantum technology, blockchain, etc. He inspected the space center, chip research institute and high-speed rail manufacturing and assembly workshop. He said that the key core technology is not available, cannot be bought, cannot be obtained, and must be firmly in their own hands.

According to the 2022 Global Innovation Index Report released by the World Intellectual Property Organization, China ranked 11th, up 23 places from 2012. Statistics also show that China's R&D expenditure has increased from 1 trillion yuan 10 years ago to 2.8 trillion yuan, ranking second in the world.

Xi Jinping has an indissoluble bond with the military and deep feelings for the military. He led what was called a "subversive" military reform and accelerated the building of the people's army into a world-class military. He led hundreds of senior officers to revisit Gutian, reaffirmed the "party command gun", and investigated and dealt with a number of disciplinary and illegal cases involving senior military officers. He insisted on improving the CMC chairman responsibility system, and formed a new pattern in which the CMC took charge of the general affairs, the theater of operations, and the services took charge of construction. The People's Army firmly adheres to the only fundamental standard of combat effectiveness, strengthens the command system and capacity building of joint operations, and vigorously corrects the "long-standing problems of peace".

Xi Jinping has held many military parades. He said, "If you can fight, you can stop the war." In the past 10 years, China launched two domestic aircraft carriers, officially commissioned the fifth generation fighter J-20, and equipped the DF-17 ballistic missiles in batches. China has taken the lead in hypersonic weapons development. Xi Jinping said that the people's army is confident and capable of safeguarding national sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity, providing strategic support for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and making greater contributions to world peace and development.

On December 17, 2019, Shandong, China's first domestic aircraft carrier, was delivered to the Navy at a military port in Sanya, Hainan. Xi Jinping attended the handover ceremony and boarded the ship for inspection. After the ceremony, Xi Jinping boarded the Shandong Ship to review the honor guard.

"Xi Jinping is the leader who has led China to become 'stronger'.".

Xi Jinping's talk on governing the country has collected his thoughts and practices on working hard for governance, including the overall layout of "Five in One" and the strategic layout of "Four Comprehensions", which have been published in four volumes. Xi Jinping learned the wisdom of governance from China's excellent traditional culture. He said that "governing a big country is like cooking a small dish", pointing out that facing the future of the country and the destiny of the nation, it is more necessary to have a strong sense of historical mission and responsibility, and grasp the heat of governing the country. He said that "the foundation of the world lies in the country, and the foundation of the country lies in the home", which means that every family is good, the country can be good, and the nation can be good.

At the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era was officially established as the guiding ideology of the Communist Party of China. Following Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of "Three Represents" and the Scientific Outlook on Development, this thought was written into the Party Constitution and the Constitution to guide China's various undertakings in the new era and new journey.

David Ferguson, an expert on the revision of the English version of Xi Jinping's Talk on Governance, said that Xi Jinping's ideas covered all fields, from poverty alleviation to pollution prevention and control to the "Belt and Road", and were implemented into action at all levels, promoting China's historic changes in the past 10 years.

The Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee in 2016 clearly defined Xi Jinping's position as the core of the CPC Central Committee and the whole party.

Xi Jinping said: "The core of the Party Central Committee and the core of the whole Party is my responsibility. I will use my life energy and all my life to repay the trust of the Party and the people. I will devote myself to the future, go through fire and water, and never refuse to die."

Five years later, the Resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the Significant Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party's Centennial Struggle adopted at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China pointed out that the Party established Comrade Xi Jinping as the core of the Party Central Committee and the core position of the whole Party, and established the guiding position of Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, reflecting the common aspiration of the whole Party, the whole army, and the people of all ethnic groups, It is of decisive significance for the development of the cause of the Party and the country in the new era and for promoting the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The Twentieth National Congress of the Communist Party of China believes that it is precisely because of the establishment of Comrade Xi Jinping's core position in the Party Central Committee and the core position of the whole Party, and the establishment of the guiding position of Xi Jinping's thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, that the Party has effectively solved the prominent contradictions and problems that affect the long-term governance of the Party, the long-term stability of the country, and the well-being of the people, and has eliminated the serious hidden dangers within the Party, the country, and the military, To fundamentally ensure that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process.

The theorists believe that Xi Jinping has scientifically answered the questions of China, the world, the people and the times, and further mapped out a new picture of China's future development. Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is contemporary Chinese Marxism, Marxism for the 21st century, the essence of the times of Chinese culture and Chinese spirit, and has realized a new leap in the sinicization and modernization of Marxism.

Every cadre and party member in China is learning and practicing Xi Jinping's socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era. There are also many scholars studying it internationally. Volcker Chapk, honorary chairman of the Prussian Association in Berlin, Germany, said that when he read Xi Jinping on Governance, he felt that it was full of fascinating ideas. The modernization of China led by Xi Jinping is different from that of the West. One day people will realize that China's road will lead mankind to a better future.

3、 Turn danger into opportunity and be firm and tender

People admire Xi Jinping's perseverance, courage and tenacity. He never flinches in the face of difficulties; For the sake of his ideal, he will never give up.

People who have worked with him think he has a strong power. He has experienced many tests and is experienced in dealing with them. During his tenure in Fujian, Zhejiang and Shanghai, he led the response to several strong typhoons. He stayed up almost all night directing the transfer of the masses, minimizing casualties and property losses. Colleagues think that when facing the crisis, he "calmly responded" and "lifted the weight as lightly as possible".

As Vice President of the country, Xi Jinping once took charge of the preparations for the Beijing Olympic Games and the Paralympic Games. His work was under multiple pressures: the Wenchuan earthquake, the "March 14" violence in Lhasa, and the torch relay was blocked by anti China forces. But in the end, the Beijing Olympic Games became one of the most successful Olympic Games in history. Fourteen years later, the Beijing Winter Olympic Games and the Winter Paralympic Games suffered from COVID-19, and some western countries made so-called "diplomatic boycotts". However, Xi Jinping led China to dedicate a simple, safe and wonderful event to the world.

China, entering a new era, is facing a severe and complex international situation and the enormous risks and challenges that follow. Xi Jinping stressed that "we must be prepared for a great struggle with many new historical characteristics" - when he presided over the drafting of the report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), he explicitly asked to add this assertion.

He repeatedly warned: "The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation cannot be achieved easily by beating the gong and drums. To realize the great dream, we must carry out a great struggle. On the way forward, the risks and tests we face will only become more and more complex, and even encounter unimaginable waves."

During the Yemeni crisis in 2015, he resolutely instructed to send aircraft and ships to evacuate Chinese nationals. Later, the evacuation was adapted into a film, which triggered a patriotic upsurge. That year, the Chinese stock market went up and down, and the financial market fluctuated. Xi Jinping took a series of measures to curb panic and avoid a systemic risk.

The situation in Hong Kong once became very serious. The anti China turmoil Hong Kong forces linked with external hostile forces, launched illegal "occupying China" and street riots, in the name of striving for "democracy", split the country and subverted the regime, with the intention of turning Hong Kong into a bridgehead for the implementation of the "color revolution". President Xi Jinping has launched a series of "combination fists" that address both the symptoms and the root causes, including formulating and implementing the Hong Kong National Security Law, improving the electoral system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, implementing the overall governance power of the central government, implementing the principle of "patriots governing Hong Kong", and pushing Hong Kong into a new stage from chaos to governance to governance and prosperity.

On July 1, 2022, at the General Assembly to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland and the inauguration of the sixth government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Xi Jinping said that there is no reason to change such a good system as "one country, two systems", and it must be adhered to for a long time.

In 2015, Xi Jinping met with Ma Ying jeou in Singapore, the first meeting between leaders across the Taiwan Straits since 1949. After the Democratic Progressive Party came to power in 2016, it stubbornly pursued the "Taiwan independence" split, and cross-strait relations encountered a countercurrent. Xi Jinping put forward an overall strategy to solve the Taiwan issue in the new era, proposed a series of measures such as exploring the "two systems" Taiwan plan, and firmly grasped the leading and initiative of cross-strait relations. He stressed: "We will strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification with the utmost sincerity and effort, but we will never promise to give up the use of force and reserve the option of taking all necessary measures."

In August this year, President of the House of Representatives Pelosi of the United States Congress insisted on a visit to Taiwan in spite of China's solemn warning, and tensions in the Taiwan Strait escalated. The PLA carried out unprecedented joint exercises and training in the sea and air space around Taiwan Island, which formed a strong deterrent to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and the US Taiwan collusion and provocation. The one China principle has become a broader international consensus.

Whenever a major natural disaster occurs, Xi Jinping gives instructions at the first time, asking for full rescue to ensure the safety of people's lives and property. He went to the disaster scene many times to visit the masses and command disaster relief. In 2018, China established the Emergency Management Department. Xi Jinping said: "An important aspect of measuring the success and superiority of a country's system is to see whether it can command all sides and organize all sides to jointly respond to major risks and challenges." In the past 10 years, China's natural disasters have been rescued in a timely manner, and the speed and quality of post disaster recovery and reconstruction work are second to none in the world.

Xi Jinping worked hard all day and night. He once publicly disclosed his experience of "staying up at night". It was January 24, 2020, the 30th day of the Lunar New Year, the most important reunion day of the Chinese people in the year, but Wuhan suffered an unprecedented COVID-19 epidemic. Xi Jinping stayed up all night, and the next day he convened a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee to study the prevention and control of the epidemic. Prior to this, Xi Jinping made a key decision to control the flow of people and external channels in Hubei Province and Wuhan City.

On March 10, 2020, at the critical moment of epidemic prevention and control, Xi Jinping went to the front line of Wuhan epidemic resistance for investigation. He went to the centralized treatment point - Huoshen Mountain Hospital to greet the patients. He went to the community to investigate the epidemic prevention and control and the living security of the masses, and especially warned that people in Wuhan like to eat live fish, and should organize more supply if conditions permit.

On the day when Wuhan was officially "unsealed", Xi Jinping wrote back to all community workers in the East Lake New Town Community, and wrote at the beginning: "I have always been concerned about the cadres and the masses of Wuhan since I came back from Wuhan." On that day, many Wuhan residents went to the balcony to sing "My Motherland and I" spontaneously.

Xi Jinping described the fight against the epidemic as a war. China took the lead in controlling the epidemic worldwide and resumed production. The epidemic prevention and control has entered the normalization stage. Xi Jinping led the implementation of the general policy of "dynamic zeroing", keeping China's infection rate and mortality rate at a very low level. In 2022, Xi Jinping deployed to win the "Great Shanghai Defense War".

Xi Jinping said that China has a large population base. If we adopt prevention and control policies such as "collective immunization" and "lying flat", the consequences will be unimaginable. "It is better to temporarily affect the economic development than to harm the lives and health of the people, especially the elderly and children. If the general ledger is calculated, our epidemic prevention measures are the most economical and effective." A research report published by the British journal Nature Medicine in May this year said that if China gave up "dynamic zero clearing", It is possible to add 112 million confirmed cases in just a few months, resulting in more than 1.5 million deaths.

On March 10, 2020, Xi Jinping went to Wuhan, Hubei Province to investigate the prevention and control of COVID-19. This is Xi Jinping's greeting and condolence to the residents who live in isolation at home during his visit to the East Lake New Town community (block photo).

Handling the Sino US relationship, the most complex and important bilateral relationship in the world at present, is one of the topics Xi Jinping has devoted the most effort in the past 10 years. In March 2018, then President Trump of the United States signed a memorandum to impose tariffs on goods imported from China on a large scale, restrict Chinese enterprises from investing in mergers and acquisitions in the United States, and launch a trade war. Under the leadership of Xi Jinping, China responded with the principle and attitude of "not willing to fight, not afraid to fight, and having to fight when necessary".

Xi Jinping met with Trump in Buenos Aires and Osaka and pointed out that China and the United States should not fall into the trap of so-called conflict and confrontation, and cooperation is the best choice for both sides. He had three telephone conversations and video meetings with the current President of the United States, Joe Biden, and proposed that China and the United States should respect each other, coexist peacefully, and cooperate for win-win results. He told the United States to respect China's core interests and act cautiously.

In the face of external pressure, Xi Jinping stressed that we should "unswervingly do our own thing". China has continued to promote reform and opening up, while vigorously fighting back with various reciprocal measures, actively advocating multilateralism in the international community, promoting economic globalization, and building consensus and strong forces against unilateralism and trade protectionism.

Xi Jinping has always fought uncompromisingly against formalism and bureaucracy. From the very beginning of his work, he hated these two problems. He once criticized the example of poverty alleviation work, saying that some poverty-stricken areas did not carry out investigation and research on the development of industries. Instead, they made decisions by patting their heads. Last year, they let poverty-stricken households raise chickens. This year, they let poverty-stricken households raise sheep. Next year, they will let poverty-stricken households grow medicinal herbs. Poverty alleviation projects are seriously disconnected from the industrial needs of poverty-stricken households.

On November 3, 2013, Xi Jinping had a conversation with a family member in Shi Ba, a Miao villager in Shibadong Village, Huayuan County, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, Hunan Province. Photographed by Lan Hongguang, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency

Xi Jinping warned the leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels to enhance our viability, competitiveness, development and sustainability in all kinds of predictable and unpredictable storms and rough seas, so as to ensure that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will not be delayed or even interrupted.

"All the achievements of the Party and the people have been achieved through struggle." At the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the content of carrying forward the spirit of struggle and strengthening the ability of struggle was written into the Party Constitution.

In March 2019, Xi Jinping held a meeting at the same time at random with President Fico of the House of Representatives of Dali. Fico asked Xi Jinping a question: "When you were elected President of China, what was your mood?" Xi Jinping said: "Such a large country has very heavy responsibilities and arduous work. I will be selfless and not responsible for the people. I am willing to be selfless and contribute to China's development.", It is a tradition and a spirit of Chinese people with lofty ideals. It is determined to make all sacrifices for the collective ideal, without considering any personal interests.

Xi Jinping is firm and full of tenderness. In the past 10 years, he has repeatedly replied to the American people, including middle school students and primary school students. Xi Jinping said that he hoped they would act as ambassadors of friendship between the Chinese and American people.

Xi Jinping has long served in Fujian and Zhejiang across the sea from Taiwan. People who have worked with him for a long time say that he is "a close friend of Taiwanese businessmen and compatriots". There was a Taiwanese businessman who invested in Xiamen. Due to various reasons, he was in debt and had a hard time. Xi Jinping has held discussions with this Taiwanese businessman many times to help him solve problems. Taiwanese businessmen were moved to say that Xi Jinping's concern made him "unforgettable all his life".

Xi Jinping is also tolerant of different opinions and even criticisms. When he was appointed secretary of the county party committee, Xi Jinping received a letter of criticism from a young man in the countryside, saying that the county party committee focused on commodity production in four aspects. Instead of being angry, Xi Jinping said with a smile, "This guy seems to be a bit competent and basically has the right ideas. If he can't make it right, he is still a man of his own ability." "I will send someone to investigate. If this young man is really good, we will ask him to come out to grasp the commodity production in the village." After becoming the general secretary, Xi Jinping stressed that senior cadres in the party should attach importance to democratic decision-making, In the process of brewing and discussion, one can speak freely, criticize or even oppose, and the speaker is innocent.

In 1983, Xi Jinping, then the secretary of the Zhengding County Party Committee in Hebei Province, temporarily set a table on the street to listen to people's opinions. Shen Jizhong

Xi Jinping likes to make friends with intellectuals and literary artists. When he was an educated youth, Xi Jinping lived in a cave with Lu Yao, who had not yet written The Ordinary World. They talked all night about literature and life. He also forged a deep friendship with Jia Dashan, a writer in Zhengding County. In 1985, Xi Jinping was transferred to Fujian. When they were about to break up, Xi Jinping and Jia Dashan both shed tears of excitement. They were reluctant to say goodbye.

Xi Jinping said that intellectuals are the precious wealth of the country. He corresponded with old professors and artists, and went to colleges and universities to communicate with intellectuals many times. At Peking University, he talked with Tang Yijie, an octogenarian philosopher, about the compilation of Ru Zang. Xi Jinping presided over the symposium on literary and art work, and shook hands with writers and artists after the symposium.

Xi Jinping devoted himself to heavy work with extraordinary energy. He took part in labor when he was young and laid a good foundation. This "sports fan" is interested in football, ice hockey, mountain climbing, swimming, boxing and so on. He still takes time to swim for more than 1000 meters each time. He also learned from the fierce sports competitions the rules to deal with challenges. "The charm of sports competitions, especially football matches, lies in unpredictability." He asked economic work to learn from high-level football matches, not only about personal skills, but also to form a whole from top to bottom.

4、 Make the world more closely connected

When Xi Jinping was young, he became interested in the richness of the world and the diversity of human beings. When he went to the countryside in northern Shaanxi, he read a lot of world famous works, and once he went 30 miles to borrow a copy of Faust. He read Shakespeare's plays and kept thinking about the universal human problem of "survival or destruction". He read Capital three times under the kerosene lamp in the cave and wrote down 18 books of reading notes. He exclaimed: "Marxism is broad and profound. In the final analysis, it is just one sentence, seeking liberation for mankind."

These thoughts were integrated into the concept of "a community with a shared future for mankind" that he put forward decades later. He said: "Human beings live in the same global village, in the same time and space where history and reality meet, and increasingly become a community of shared destiny."

He praised the diversity of human civilization and said that we should let the world's civilized gardens compete with each other. He said that without diversity, there would be no human civilization. The Chinese Dream is the dream of the Chinese people to pursue happiness, and it is also closely linked to the beautiful dreams of people in other countries. He pointed out that the Communist Party of China is concerned about the future and destiny of mankind and wants to "make progress for mankind and seek common ground for the world".

In 1979, Xi Jinping accompanied Geng Biao, who was also Vice Premier of the State Council, to visit Northern Europe. In Norway, he visited the families of ordinary people and was deeply impressed by Norway's developed welfare society. In 1985, Xi Jinping, the secretary of Zhengding County Party Committee, went to the United States to investigate agriculture. He lives in a local family, sleeps in the landlord's son's bedroom, and accompanies the Star Trek dolls. Recalling that experience, he said that a striking impression is that the Chinese and American people share a lot of common language and can fully become good friends and partners for mutually beneficial cooperation.

Xi Jinping visited the United States eight times. A foreign student who received him in the 1990s recalled that in some professional introductions, Xi Jinping kept records from beginning to end and was particularly fond of asking questions. In the following years, the student received greeting cards from Xi Jinping every Spring Festival. Xi Jinping is the first Chinese national leader to watch the NBA game in the United States. During his visit to Cuba, he also made a special trip to the trestle where Hemingway wrote The Old Man and the Sea and the bars he often went to, to experience the spiritual world and field atmosphere of the American writer when he wrote.

Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin have met about 40 times since 2013, leading the bilateral relations to mature, tenacious and stable development and developing a comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for the new era. The trade volume between China and Russia increased from 88.1 billion US dollars in 2012 to 146.8 billion US dollars in 2021. The two countries have cooperated in the construction of major energy projects such as the China Russia east line natural gas pipeline, Tianwan and Xudabao nuclear power stations, and also launched cooperation with international lunar research stations.

Xi Jinping advocates building a new model of major country relations. China has gone beyond the old thinking of confrontation and alliance to build a global partnership network. Xi Jinping said that the body has entered the 21st century, while the mind is still stuck in the old era of cold war thinking and zero sum game.

China has the most neighbors in the world. Xi Jinping said that "good neighbors don't change". He has visited almost all the surrounding countries and proposed to deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with the surrounding countries according to the concept of affinity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness, and strive to make their own development better benefit the surrounding countries.

Xi Jinping attaches importance to the continuation of traditional friendship with developing countries. His first trip since he was elected President of the two countries included Africa. In 2013, his 30 minute speech at the Nyerere International Convention Center in Tanzania won 30 applause. He was very concerned about the development of Africa, the place of origin of mankind, and said that Africa was a "continent full of vitality and hope".

Xi Jinping attended three summits and ministerial meetings of the Forum on China Africa Cooperation and announced China Africa practical cooperation initiatives such as the "ten major cooperation plans", "eight major actions" and "nine projects". According to a survey released by a foundation in South Africa in 2022, in the eyes of African youth, China has become the most influential foreign country on the African continent.

Xi Jinping called on the emerging economies represented by the BRICS countries to adhere to openness and innovation and promote the recovery of the world economy. In 2020, he announced the establishment of the BRICS New Industrial Revolution Partnership Innovation Base in Xiamen.

China has joined hands with Pakistan, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam and other countries to build a bilateral community of common destiny, and reached important consensus with relevant parties on building a community of common destiny in neighboring countries, the Asia Pacific, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, China ASEAN, China Africa, China Arab States, China Latin America, China and the Pacific island countries, actively promoting cyberspace, nuclear security, oceans, health, people and nature Community building in global development and other fields. A multi-dimensional and three-dimensional practice system of a community with a shared future for mankind is increasingly improved.

The concept of a community with a shared future for mankind has been enshrined in the Party Constitution and the Constitution, as well as in important documents of international organizations and multilateral mechanisms such as the United Nations. Peter Thomson, President of the 71st United Nations General Assembly, said that building a community with a shared future for mankind is "the only future for mankind on this planet".

Convinced that mankind should work together, Xi Jinping came to Davos, Switzerland, in 2017 and became the first Chinese head of state to attend the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum. He said, "It is impossible and not in line with the historical trend to return the sea of the world economy to an isolated small lake and river." He called for joint efforts to promote global development.

On January 17, 2017, Xi Jinping attended the opening ceremony of the 2017 Annual Conference of the World Economic Forum at the International Conference Center in Davos, Switzerland, and delivered a keynote speech entitled "Sharing the responsibilities of the times and promoting global development". Photographed by Lan Hongguang, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency

The day after his speech in Davos, Xi Jinping came to the UN headquarters in Geneva. He issued the "question of the world" that was later hotly discussed by people - "The world today is full of uncertainty, and people are both expecting and confused about the future. What's wrong with the world and what should we do?"

In his view, although the destinies of all countries in the world are more closely linked than ever before, the human society is faced with serious challenges in tackling deficits, trust deficits, development deficits and peace deficits.

To solve the "four major deficits", China advocates peaceful ways to deal with differences and resolve disputes through dialogue and consultation; We will build a global partnership for development so that more and more equitable development achievements will benefit every country and every person; Remove barriers that hinder the free flow of production factors and promote the construction of an open world economy; Replace conflict with dialogue, replace coercion with consultation, and replace zero sum with win-win; Abandon ideological lineaments and unite to promote world peace and development; We will build a new type of international relations featuring mutual respect, fairness and justice, and win-win cooperation.

The concept of global governance advocated by Xi Jinping goes beyond the old "world view" of the law of the jungle and winner takes all behind the changes of the international order over the centuries, and clarifies the dialectical relationship between changes and changes in the global governance system: on the one hand, the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter and the banner of multilateralism cannot change; On the other hand, it is necessary to strengthen international coordination to deal with increasing global challenges and threats, and to reflect the international political reality of the collective rise of developing countries through the practice of joint consultation, joint construction and sharing.

Xi Jinping always said, "China's development cannot be separated from the world, and the world's development also needs China.". He likes to use a variety of metaphors to vividly illustrate the relationship between China and the world. For example, China is a "peaceful, amiable and civilized lion", a "big man" rather than a "Mephisto". As a leader who has experienced poverty, Xi Jinping famously said, "Try not to let any country fall behind". He welcomed all countries to "take the train of China's development".

Xi Jinping said that China has always been a builder of world peace; Only when everyone cherishes and maintains peace, and everyone remembers the painful lessons of war, can peace be hopeful. He and then Greek President Pavlopoulos visited the Acropolis Museum in Athens, and discussed the similarities and differences between Athena's thoughts on war and peace and the Chinese idiom "Stop fighting and fight" before the relief of "Meditating Athena".

China is the largest peacekeeping force among the permanent members of the UN Security Council, and China's "Blue Helmets" have become the key force in UN peacekeeping. After the Ukrainian crisis, Xi Jinping made the first call with leaders of relevant countries to promote peace. He also actively promoted the settlement of the Palestinian Israeli conflict, the situation on the Korean Peninsula, the Afghan issue and other regional hotspot issues. When visiting France, Xi Jinping went to the Allied landing site in the Normandy Campaign, talked to his peers about the disaster brought by the war to the relevant countries and people, and bowed his head and pondered for a long time. He once said: "War is a mirror, which can make people better understand the value of peace."

The COVID-19 epidemic is raging around the world. Xi Jinping has intensively carried out "cloud diplomacy". Since 2021 alone, there have been more than 100 diplomatic activities by telephone, letters, videos and other means. The international anti epidemic "cloud conference" during the epidemic period includes the special summit of G20 leaders on coping with COVID-19, the video conference of the World Health Assembly, and the special summit of China Africa solidarity anti epidemic.

On March 26, 2020, Xi Jinping attended the G20 Special Summit on Coping with COVID-19 in Beijing and delivered an important speech entitled "Jointly fight against epidemic and overcome difficulties". Photographed by Xinhua News Agency reporter Li Xueren

Xi Jinping directed to provide anti epidemic materials to more than 150 countries and send vaccines independently developed by China to all parts of the world as a global public product. A larger international public product is the "Belt and Road" initiative proposed by Xi Jinping. About three quarters of the world's countries have signed cooperation documents with China to jointly build the "Belt and Road". The "Belt and Road" has become a popular platform for international cooperation in the world today.

China has become an important factor influencing changes in the world's political and economic landscape. Some initiatives and measures to deal with global issues have been effectively promoted thanks to the strong promotion of Xi Jinping. Ban Ki moon, the former Secretary General of the United Nations, recalled that in 2016 Xi Jinping invited him and then President Obama to visit Hangzhou. On the day before the G20 Summit, the leaders of China and the United States submitted to him the ratification instrument of the Paris Agreement on climate change. "If it had not been for President Xi Jinping's initiative, we would not have reached the Paris Agreement now," Ban Ki moon said.

Xi Jinping said that China has the ability and responsibility to play a greater role in global affairs. He put forward the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom for all mankind. After the outbreak of the epidemic, he successively put forward the global development initiative and the global security initiative, which has gathered the greatest consensus for creating a better world in the post epidemic era. These two initiatives have integrated development and security, adhered to the concept of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, and called for strengthening cooperation in poverty reduction, food security, epidemic prevention and vaccine, financing for development, climate change and green development, industrialization, digital economy, connectivity and other fields, and accelerated the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which has received positive responses from more than 100 countries.

UN Secretary General Guterres highly appreciates the foresight and sagacity of Xi Jinping's global development initiative. He said that this initiative is of great significance in boosting international development cooperation and implementing the 2030 Agenda, and will help the world move towards a more sustainable and inclusive future.

"China plays a leading role in building a world of shared destiny." Martin Alblau, an academician of the British Academy of Social Sciences, said, "This kind of leadership is not reflected in military affairs, but in moral and value aspects." Pakistani President Alvey said that, as President Xi Jinping conveyed, the world needs better cooperation Deeper mutual understanding and wider peace.

5、 Open up new forms of human civilization

"Our understanding of time is based on hundreds and thousands of years." Xi Jinping once expressed his view of time in this way; He also quoted the famous saying of German writer Lessing that "history should not be the burden of memory, but the enlightenment of reason" to explain his attitude towards history.

Xi Jinping, who has loved reading history books since his youth, believes that thinking about problems and making decisions should have a historical perspective. He has repeatedly stressed that the Party is committed to the great cause of the Chinese nation, to the lofty cause of peace and development of mankind, and to "strengthen historical confidence and enhance historical initiative".

Xi Jinping called the excellent traditional Chinese culture "the root and soul of the Chinese nation". He led the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to carry out collective learning on the project of deepening the exploration of the origin of Chinese civilization, and quoted Mao Zedong as saying: "From Confucius to Sun Yat sen, we should sum up and inherit this precious heritage." Before the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping wrote a preface for the "Renaissance Library", entitled "Steadily Moving Forward on the Road to Revival", and put forward: "Compile history and establish a code.", Preserve history and enlighten wisdom.

Han Youde, the former director of the China Research Institute of the Korean Central Daily, said that under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the self-confidence of the Chinese people has significantly improved. Xi Jinping summarized "confidence" into four aspects, namely, road confidence, theoretical confidence, institutional confidence and cultural confidence. "More fundamental, broader and deeper" is cultural confidence.

In the past 10 years, Xi Jinping has entered the Confucius Mansion in Qufu, Shandong Province, Yuelu Academy in Changsha, Hunan Province, Zhuxi Garden in Wuyi Mountain, Fujian Province and other places. "If there is no five thousand years of Chinese civilization, where is the Chinese characteristics? If there is no Chinese characteristics, how can we have such a successful socialist road with Chinese characteristics today?" he sighed. At the same time, he pointed out that the "theory of civilization conflict" should be solved with the integration of civilization exchanges, and the common values of all mankind contained in the Chinese civilization should be promoted. Xi Jinping advocates the development path of human civilization featuring mutual respect, solidarity, and coexistence.

Martin Jacques, a British scholar, said that China is not just a nation state, it is a civilized country - if you can't understand this, you can't really understand any problems about China.

The Chinese style modernization led by Xi Jinping is considered to be creating a new form of human civilization. Xi Jinping summarized the Chinese style modernization into five aspects, namely, the modernization of a huge population, the modernization of common prosperity for all people, the modernization of coordinated material and spiritual civilization, the modernization of harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and the modernization of taking the path of peaceful development. Chinese style modernization not only has the common characteristics of modernization in all countries, but also has Chinese characteristics based on its own national conditions.

"The modernization we are promoting is a socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China. We must adhere to the Chinese style modernization to promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We must neither follow the old closed and rigid path nor take the wrong path of changing the flag. We must adhere to putting the development of the country and the nation on the basis of our own strength and firmly hold the destiny of China's development and progress in our own hands." Xi Jinping said.

Chinese and foreign scholars have explored the characteristics of Chinese style modernization from all angles and levels, including taking the people as the center rather than being ruled by capital, pursuing Marx's "free and comprehensive development of human beings", inheriting and developing 5000 years of Chinese civilization, and focusing on absorbing all the outstanding achievements of civilization created by human beings, adhering to peaceful development and common progress, Promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Chinese modernization is committed to solving many problems in the development of human society and providing Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions for human exploration of a better social system.

According to the development picture outlined by Xi Jinping, by 2035, China, the world's largest developing country, will basically achieve modernization, which means that for the first time in human history, the population of more than one billion people will be modernized as a whole. China has made great achievements in the process of world modernization in its own unique way, which is the greatest contribution of the Communist Party of China to the cause of human progress.

At that time, China's per capita GDP reached the level of moderately developed countries, and China will enter the forefront of innovative countries. After reaching the peak, its carbon emissions will be stable. The total length of the world's most extensive high-speed rail system has nearly doubled, and cities with more than 500000 people have access to high-speed rail. At present, the size of the middle-income group in China exceeds 400 million people. According to the standards of the United Nations, the Chinese people have entered a stage of relative prosperity. By 2035, the proportion of middle-income groups will increase significantly, and more substantial progress will be made in the comprehensive development of people and the common prosperity of all people.

From the disastrous years of "civilization dust" to the creation of a new form of human civilization, the process of Chinese style modernization has not only made more than 1.4 billion Chinese proud and ended the "end of history" theory, but also provided new choices for countries and peoples in the world who both want to accelerate development and maintain their independence.

On the desk of Humphrey Mosi, director of China Research Center of Dar es Salaam University in Tanzania, Xi Jinping Talks about Governance and Governance and other works are very eye-catching. "China's development story tells us that poverty and backwardness can be overcome, and African countries can also achieve prosperity and development by finding the right path."

Luo Siyi, a China expert who once served as the Director of the Economic and Commercial Policy Office in London, UK, said that China has improved the well-being of the largest number of people at the fastest speed in human history, not only benefiting itself but also others, which is its greatest achievement. "Who doesn't want to witness history? Who doesn't want to learn from it?"

A great socialist country that combines the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality and excellent traditional Chinese culture is standing in the east of the world. This means that world socialism, which has been born for more than 500 years and experienced a tortuous course of development, has not been sentenced to failure in the clamour of encirclement and suppression, but has radiated strong vitality in the hands of the Chinese Communists in the new era.

Ten years ago, Xi Jinping, who just took over the baton of history and served as General Secretary, said to Chinese and foreign journalists, "The great trust of all Party comrades and the expectations of the people of all ethnic groups in the country are a great inspiration for us to do a good job, and also a great responsibility on our shoulders."

After being elected as General Secretary at the First Plenary Session of the Twentieth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping said that Chinese style modernization is a great and arduous undertaking. "It is great only because it is arduous, and it is more glorious only because it is arduous." "We must remember the nature and purpose of the Party, remember our mission and responsibility, scrupulously abide by our duties, work diligently, and never fail to live up to the great trust of the Party and the people.".

A new journey has begun to advance the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese style modernization, and to build a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, inclusiveness, cleanness and beauty with the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind. "The path is long and obstructed, and the line will reach."
