BEIJING, Dec. 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- An ancient Chinese sage
observed, "A man of virtue, while establishing himself and pursuing
success, also works to help others establish themselves and
succeed." There is a similar saying in Latin America which goes, "The only way to be
profitably national is to be generously universal."
These two ancient sayings were quoted by Chinese
President Xi Jinping when addressing the 31st APEC Economic
Leaders' Meeting. China welcomes
all parties to continue riding the "express train" of its
development and grow together with the Chinese economy.
Throughout the ages, to live a better life has been the longing
of humanity. To achieve common progress, it is important to adopt a
people-centered development approach.
"Bringing benefit to the people is the fundamental principle of
governance." This ancient Chinese saying profoundly reveals the
dialectical relationship between national governance and benefiting
the people.
In its fight against poverty in the new era, China always places the people front and
center and solemnly declares that "not a single poor region or
person should be left behind." With the strenuous, unified efforts
of the Communist Party of China
(CPC) and the Chinese people, China has lifted nearly 800 million people out
of poverty, and met the poverty reduction target of the UN's 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development ahead of schedule, securing a
victory in its anti-poverty battle.
If China can make it, other
developing countries can make it too. China's success in poverty alleviation
epitomizes the people-centered philosophy of the Chinese
government.
To achieve common progress, it is important to help others
succeed while seeking one's own success for the wellbeing of all
humanity. An ancient Chinese philosopher observed, "The benevolent
treat others with love, and the wise share with others benefits."
These values of mutual benefit and common prosperity are deeply
rooted in the DNA of the Chinese nation.
Based on the values of fine traditional Chinese culture,
China has always placed its own
development within the larger context of human development, aligned
the interests of the Chinese people with the common interests of
all peoples around the world, and aligned its development with
global development.
While joining hands with all countries to build a community with
a shared future for mankind, China
is committed to win-win cooperation and building a world of common
prosperity.
To achieve common progress, it is important to take concrete
actions while considering the shared interests of all countries to
support other countries in their development.
China not only pursues its own
development, but also supports and assists other developing
countries to achieve common development.
"China has been advocating a
universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization,
promoting high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, and endeavoring
to deliver on the Global Development Initiative. Our goal is to
benefit all with the opportunity of development, to diversify
development paths, to help all nations share development fruits, to
encourage common development and prosperity for all countries in
the global village, and to turn win-win into a solid
consensus," Xi said at the Conference Marking the 70th
Anniversary of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence in
June.
China also promotes the common
development of the Global South. At the 10th ministerial conference
of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum, China proposed to work with Arab countries to
put in place the "five cooperation frameworks." At the 2024 Beijing
Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, China announced 10 partnership actions for
modernization to deepen China-Africa
cooperation. At Session I of the 19th G20 Summit held in
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,
China outlined eight actions for
global development.
These actions demonstrate that China is always a doer and go-getter
working for the cause of global development.
In July, the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of
China convened its third plenary
session in Beijing, during which a
comprehensive plan for further deepening reform across the board to
advance Chinese modernization was adopted. More than 300 important
reform measures were introduced at the meeting, providing a strong
impetus for China's economic and
social development, and opening up broad prospects for the common
development of countries worldwide.
On the road to the well-being of all mankind, no country or
nation should be left behind. China remains committed to win-win cooperation
and providing new opportunities for world development with its
modernization achievements. China
stands ready to work with other countries to facilitate the
modernization of all countries featuring peaceful
development, mutually beneficial cooperation and common prosperity,
in a bid to write a new chapter in building a community with a
shared future for mankind.
