Scholars make remarks on compilation of Xi's speeches marking 70th anniversary of PRC founding
By Meng Xiangfu, Zhao Bing, People's Daily
A compilation of Chinese President Xi Jinping's speeches marking the
70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC) was
recently published by the Foreign Languages Press in both Chinese and English,
and distributed at home and abroad.
The book collects three speeches of Xi, namely the speeches at a grand
rally and a reception to celebrate the 70th founding anniversary of the PRC,
and the speech at a presentation ceremony of the national medals and honorary
titles of the PRC.
"In his speeches, President Xi expounded China's ‘marvel-of-the-world’
development achievements made under the strong leadership of the Communist
Party of China (CPC)," said Song Shiming, professor with the Party School
of the Central Committee of CPC (China National School of Administration).
"On the one hand, China is eliminating absolute poverty, and the
ultimate reason for such achievement is that China's state power belongs to the
people; on the other hand, China has greatly improved its comprehensive national
strength, like what President Xi has put forward: no force can ever shake the
status of China, or stop the Chinese people and nation from marching forward.
Reviewing history is for expecting a
better future, while summarizing past achievements is for accumulating power to
march forward. Xin Ming, professor with the Party School of the Central Committee of
CPC believes that Xi's speeches offer fundamental rules for China to
consolidate and further its development achievements as his remarks are a
multi-level and multi-perspective summary of China's successful experiences.
"All of the three speeches have one focus - how to make the great
China greater. Standing at a newer and higher starting point as China
celebrates the 70th anniversary of its founding, we need to summarize
experiences and keep moving forward toward the two centenary goals," Xin
said.
The reasons for China's historic
achievements and transformation in the past 70 years lie in the Party
leadership and its adherence to the socialist path.
After the founding of the PRC, the CPC
united the people and led them in completing socialist revolution, establishing
socialism as China's basic system, and advancing socialist construction, said
Luo Pinghan, professor with the Party School of the Central Committee of CPC.
This completed the broadest and most
profound social transformation in the history of the Chinese nation and created
the fundamental political conditions and the institutional foundation for
achieving all development and progress in China today, Luo noted, thus was made
a great transition: The Chinese nation reversed its fate from the continuous
decline in modern times to steady progress toward prosperity and strength.
"Peace" is a high-frequency
word in Xi's three speeches. Song believes that China, having always
safeguarded world peace, will unswervingly follow the path of peaceful
development. China's development was achieved in a peaceful environment, and
has in return greatly strengthened the peace-loving power across the world,
Song remarked.
People are China's solid foundation and its
main source of confidence to govern. Xi's request to ensure that the people
maintain their principal position in the country reflected the people-oriented
governance philosophy.
"Since the 18th CPC National
Congress, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has
focused on people's livelihood and steadfastly promoted poverty alleviation.
Such efforts to eradicate the root causes for poverty are the best example of
the people-oriented philosophy," Luo said.
China has never been so close to the
center of the world stage with increasingly improving international influence.
It is participating in, contributing to and leading the promotion of world
peace.
Peace is embedded in China's adherence
to the principle of "peaceful reunification and one country, two
systems", as well as its following of a path of peaceful development.
Scholars agree that China's development
in the past 70 years is a hard-won achievement, and the Chinese people will surely
love and cherish the current peaceful environment and work with other countries
to build a community with a shared future for mankind and a better world.
