and trials. This has helped ensure that the Party and the country thrive and enjoy
lasting stability.
With regard to upholding the policy of One Country, Two Systems and
promoting national reunification, the Central Committee has adopted a series of
measures to address both symptoms and root causes of relevant issues and
resolutely implemented the principle that Hong Kong and Macao should be
governed by patriots. These moves have helped to restore order in Hong Kong and
ensure a turn for the better in the region. All this has laid a solid foundation for
advancing law-based governance in Hong Kong and Macao and for securing
steady and continued success of the One Country, Two Systems policy. We uphold
the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus. We firmly oppose separatist
activities seeking “Taiwan independence.” We firmly oppose foreign interference.
We have maintained the initiative and ability to steer cross-Strait relations.
With regard to foreign affairs, we have advanced major-country diplomacy
with Chinese characteristics on all fronts. The concept of a human community with
a shared future has become a banner leading trends of the times and human
progress. China has broken new ground in its diplomatic endeavors amid
profound global changes and turned crises into opportunities amid complex
situations on the international stage. These efforts have resulted in a marked
increase in China’s international influence, appeal, and power to shape. Through
tenacious struggle, the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people have
shown the world that the Chinese nation has achieved the tremendous
transformation from standing up and growing prosperous to becoming strong.
At the session, the historical significance of the Party’s endeavors over the past
century was highlighted as follows:
They have fundamentally transformed the future of the Chinese people, who
have been freed from bullying, oppression, and subjugation, become the masters of
the country, of society, and of their own fate, and are now seeing their aspirations
for a better life become a reality.
They have opened up the right path for achieving rejuvenation of the Chinese
nation, enabling China to complete a process of industrialization that took
developed countries several centuries in the space of mere decades, and bringing
about the two miracles of rapid economic growth and enduring social stability.
