Beijing,
Oct. 2 (Xinhua) -- While turning 70 often signals the beginning of a person's
twilight years, for the People's Republic of China (PRC) it marks a golden age
full of hope and vigor.
The
PRC celebrated its 70th birthday on Oct. 1. China's transformation from an
agricultural society isolated from the West into the world's second-largest
economy open wide is nothing short of a miracle.
More
importantly, it has charted a new path for developing countries to modernize.
Seven
decades ago, the war-ravaged country started from scratch. Observers are
astonished at China's large-scale modernization, its reduction of the number of
people living in poverty and the sheer volume of its consumer market. Their
heads have been turned not only because of the speed of the transition but also
by the unique path taken to realize this great transformation.
Reflecting
on its past and present, and through experimentation, China has identified and
will continue down the right path -- socialism with
Chinese characteristics.
Reform
is the engine of China's miracle. There is no ready-made solution for the
development issues facing China. From creating special economic zones to
building free trade pilot zones, from carrying out family-based production
contracts to revitalizing state-owned enterprises, China has been one of the
most successful countries in piloting reforms over the past decades. Now the
reform is more in-depth and more comprehensive in economic, political, cultural,
social and ecological sectors.
The
Chinese government stresses being effective and responsive to the public
interest. Development outlines are far-sighted. For example, the five-year
plans are made to deal with comprehensive aspects that concern human development:
food, transportation, communication, environment, health and education. These
plans are a priority for the government.
Of
course these achievements could never have been realized without the leadership
of the CPC.
From
the people and for the people, the CPC has always upheld its principle of
striving for the happiness of the people and the rejuvenation of the nation.
At
a life-or-death moment, the CPC shouldered the mission of saving the nation
from existential peril. After 28 years of bloody struggle, it led the Chinese
people to overthrow the "three mountains" placed on their heads and
put an end to the semi-colonial and semi-feudal society of old China. Gone are
the days where any attempt to bully China with "fists" or "intimidation"
would succeed.
Despite
overseas doubts, misunderstandings and predictions that its survival would be
short-lived, the CPC has stunned the world with its leadership, innovative
theories and ability to unite and organize the people.
It
abolished the agricultural tax that had been in place for more than 2,600
years; it established a political system in which people are masters of their
own affairs; it did its utmost to help people shake off poverty and keep nearly
1.4 billion people well-off.
No
ruling party in the world can match the CPC's record of adhering to the truth,
versing itself in self-reform and self-purification, and turning impossibility
into certainty in the face of difficulties and challenges, again and again.
The
70-year journey was never smooth. Trials and hardships abounded. The Chinese
people dealt with floods and massive earthquakes and guarded against SARS and
financial tsunamis. Yet these twists and turns never blocked China's way
forward but made it more sober, determined and mature.
Today,
more than at any other time in history, China is closer to, more confident and
more capable of achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
However, lofty goals are never easily reached.
The
world has been undergoing tremendous changes unseen in a century. Resistant
external forces and headwinds still remain. "Zero-sum game" and
"superior civilization" mentalities, among others, are prevailing.
The
CPC will continue to lead the Chinese people to fight trade bullying,
blackmailing and hegemonism. Only the CPC can lead China to emerge as a
stronger country.
It
all started long ago, and the journey is far from over.
BRICS, China/Macau torna-se demonstração bem sucedida de "um país,
dois sistemas", diz Chui Sai
Macau, 30 set (Xinhua) -- Macau se
tornou uma demonstração bem sucedida para a implementação do princípio de
"um país, dois sistemas", disse o chefe do Executivo da Região
Administrativa Especial de Macau (RAEM), Chui Sai On, neste domingo em seu

cerca de 950 convidados de instituições do governo, grupos sociais e setores de
negócios, indústria, cultura e educação.
Chui lembrou que este ano marca o

a região se beneficiou das vantagens do rápido desenvolvimento da China e fez
uso dele para alcançar crescimento mais rápido e de qualidade.
Em seu discurso, Chui revisou os
esforços de Macau nos últimos 10 anos para promover a diversificação econômica
moderada, incluindo aproveitar as oportunidades que surgem da Iniciativa do
Cinturão e Rota e do desenvolvimento da Grande Área da Baía de Guangdong-Hong
Kong-Macau.
Ele assegurou que a atual
administração da RAEM está comprometida em apoiar a formação da nova
administração liderada pelo quinto chefe do Executivo, Ho Iat Seng, e em
garantir uma transição tranquila.
Chui pediu que todos os setores da
comunidade estendam a Ho e à nova administração seu atual apoio conforme a lei,
e defendam a tradição de Macau de ser patriótica, inclusiva, prática e
proativa.
