The journal Qiushi has published an important article by General Secretary Xi Jinping titled “Speech at the Meeting Between the Standing Committee of the 20th CPC Central Political Bureau and Chinese and Foreign Journalists.”

　　BEIJING, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) — The 22nd issue of the journal Qiushi, to be published on November 16, will feature an important article by Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the People’s Republic of China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, entitled “Speech at the Meeting Between the Standing Committee of the 20th CPC Central Political Bureau and Domestic and Foreign Journalists.”

　　The article emphasizes that, through the concerted efforts of the entire Party and all the people of China, we have, as scheduled, built a moderately prosperous society in all respects and achieved the First Centenary Goal. Today, we are confidently embarking on a new journey toward fully building a modern socialist country, marching forward toward the Second Centenary Goal, and advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in an all-round way through Chinese-style modernization.

　　The article points out that, on the new journey ahead, we must always maintain a spirited and vigorous mindset. The comprehensive building of a modern socialist country embodies the time-honored aspirations and expectations of the Chinese nation, and is the fruit of the Chinese people’s hard work and sweat. Chinese‑style modernization is the outcome of the long‑term practice and exploration of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people; it is both a great and arduous undertaking. We must work tirelessly and shoulder our responsibilities, advancing the sinicization and contemporary adaptation of Marxism with an even stronger sense of historical initiative, continuously writing new chapters in socialism with Chinese characteristics for the new era, and striving to realize the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation. On this new journey, we must steadfastly uphold the principle of putting the people first and relying entirely on the people. Along the path forward, whether faced with high winds and rough seas or towering waves, the people will always be our most solid support and our greatest source of confidence. We must remain in step with the people through thick and thin, share their hearts and minds, anticipate their needs, act on their expectations, and constantly turn the people’s aspirations for a better life into reality. On this new journey, we must unswervingly advance the Party’s self‑revolution. Only a Party that has weathered countless vicissitudes yet remains true to its original aspiration can ensure enduring prosperity; only a Party that, having achieved great splendor, continues to courageously engage in self‑revolution can remain invincible. In the face of new challenges and tests on this new journey, we must remain highly vigilant, forever maintaining the clarity and prudence of those who are still taking the exam, and pressing ahead without pause in comprehensively strengthening Party governance. In this way, our century‑old Party will continue to radiate vibrant vitality through self‑revolution, remaining the most reliable and resolute backbone of the Chinese people. On this new journey, we must always promote the common values of all humanity. We have consistently held that the future and destiny of humankind should be grasped and determined by the peoples of all countries. Together with the peoples of all nations, we will champion the common values of peace, development, equity, justice, democracy, and freedom, safeguard world peace, advance global development, and continue to build a community with a shared future for mankind.

　　The article points out that China’s development is inseparable from the world, and the world’s development, in turn, depends on China. With strong economic resilience, ample potential, and considerable policy flexibility, China’s fundamental outlook for long-term growth remains unchanged. China’s door of opening-up will only open wider. We will unswervingly deepen reform and opening-up across the board, steadfastly promote high-quality development, and, through our own development, create more opportunities for the world.

　　The article emphasizes that the new journey is a long march filled with glory and dreams. The blueprint has been drawn, and the clarion call has sounded. We must press forward with unwavering determination and bold resolve, striving to create an even brighter future.
