LI MIN/CHINA DAILY In a world where political forces change continuously, with right-wing, centrist and left-wing parties around the world contesting elections to govern their countries and major swings in the electors' preferences, the Communist Party of China, which is celebrating the centenary of its founding, stands out in stark contrast for its continuity. This is one of the most important achievements of the CPC, an institutional achievement that goes hand in hand with the social and economic achievements that it has made in its 100-year history including implementing land reforms that changed rural society and increased the incomes of the farmers, strengthening social and national cohesion, lifting about 800 million people out of extreme poverty in the last four decades, building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, comprehensively advancing rule of law and registering impressive economic growth that exceeded 100 trillion yuan ($15.
“On the journey ahead, we will remain committed to promoting peace, development, cooperation, and mutual benefit, to an independent foreign policy of peace, and to the path of peaceful development,” said Chinese President Xi Jinping at a ceremony marking the centenary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on July 1. “We will work to build a new type of international relations and a human community with a shared future, promote high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative through joint efforts, and use China’s new achievements in development to provide the world with new opportunities,” continued Xi, also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, showing the selfless aspiration and sense of responsibility of the CPC.
The Chinese Revolution of 1949 under the leadership of Mao Zedong was, of course, one of world’s greatest historic events of the 20th century, which not only liberated China and the Chinese people from feudal exploitation, but also inspired revolutions in other parts of the world. With the success of the Chinese revolution, a real surge of national liberation movements took place around the world.
