Grasp the direction of progress in the great trend, pattern and history

  The long river of time is running, and the wheel of history is rolling forward.

  In 2021, a landmark year in the history of the party and the country will surely go down in history. The celebration of the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was grandly held, and the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader solemnly declared that a well-off society had been built in an all-round way on the land of China. The heroic declaration of taking history as a mirror and creating the future highlights the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s mission of seeking happiness for the people, rejuvenation for the nation, progress for mankind and harmony for the world.

  In 2021, the global epidemic situation has experienced ups and downs, and the changes in the past 100 years have accelerated, and the world is at the crossroads of history. Should we proceed from the common well-being of mankind, devote ourselves to unity and cooperation, advocate openness and win-win, and practice equality and respect, or should we regain the cold war mentality, provoke division and opposition, and create group confrontation? The game and contest between two orientations and two major trends have a profound impact on the future of mankind.

  Cross the sea, and you will show your true colors. Over the past year, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, China’s diplomacy as a big country with characteristics has closely followed the main line of serving national rejuvenation and promoting human progress, learned experience and wisdom from the party’s century-long struggle, grasped the direction of progress in the great trend, great pattern and great history, held high the banner of building a community of human destiny, made innovations in the great changes of the world, turned crises into opportunities in the world chaos, and courageously advanced in struggle and cooperation.

  Insist on building a stable and balanced relationship between major powers.

  "A big country should look like a big country and show more responsibility." Chairman of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out at the opening ceremony of the 2021 annual meeting of Boao Forum for Asia.

  Great powers have an important influence on international relations and bear special responsibilities for world peace and stability. How big countries get along with each other largely determines the future and destiny of mankind. It is in the common interest of the international community for big countries to respect each other, coexist peacefully and win-win results.

  The world has entered a period of turbulent change, and the instability and uncertainty have increased significantly. The Chairman of the Supreme Leader acted as the head of a big country and promoted the construction of a framework for relations between big countries with overall stability and balanced development.

  The year 2021 marks the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Sino-Russian Good-Neighborly Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation, which is of special significance to Sino-Russian relations.

  This year, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader met with President Putin for four times, maintained close strategic communication, and led China-Russia comprehensive strategic cooperation to a new height in the new era. Sino-Russian relations have withstood all kinds of storms and shown new vitality. The two heads of state formally announced the extension of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation, highlighting the firm determination of the two sides to rely on each other’s strategies, opportunities for development and global partners. The two sides firmly supported each other on issues involving each other’s core interests and defended their national dignity and the common interests of the two countries.

  This year, China-Russia all-round pragmatic cooperation showed great political advantages and opportunity advantages. On May 19th, with the "start-up" instruction issued by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader and the "start-up" instruction issued by President Putin, the first tank of cement was poured at the construction site of Units 7 and 8 of Tianwan Nuclear Power Station and Units 3 and 4 of Xudabao Nuclear Power Station, and the largest nuclear energy cooperation project between China and Russia officially started. This is the epitome of Sino-Russian cooperation that is not capped and grounded. The bilateral trade volume exceeded the $100 billion mark for the first time in the first three quarters, and it is expected to reach a new high in the whole year; The two countries officially launched the project of building an international lunar research station, and space cooperation entered a new stage; The Sino-Russian Year of Science and Technology Innovation was successfully concluded, and the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" and the Eurasian Economic Union progressed smoothly … … The two sides share development opportunities, and the cooperation cake is getting bigger and bigger.

  "The more turbulent the world is, the more necessary it is for China and Russia to strengthen strategic cooperation." The comprehensive strategic cooperation between China and Russia in the new era has become an important ballast stone for maintaining world peace and stability. The two countries actively demonstrate the role of big countries, unite the international community to fight the epidemic, and jointly oppose the use of the epidemic and virus traceability to engage in stigma and politicization; The two countries expounded the correct connotations of democracy and human rights and jointly opposed interference in other countries’ internal affairs under the guise of "democracy" and "human rights"; The two countries jointly support and practice true multilateralism, jointly safeguard regional peace, security and stability, and become the mainstay of safeguarding international fairness and justice and promoting world peace and development.

  Sino-Russian relations, which are in the best period of history, reflect a high degree of strategic mutual trust, set an example of mutual benefit and win-win on the basis of non-interference in each other’s internal affairs and mutual respect for each other’s interests, and set an example of new international relations.

  2021 is the 50th anniversary of the "Ping-Pong Diplomacy" between China and the United States. How the two countries can answer the question of "whether they can handle their relations well" is highly concerned by the international community.

  Fifty years ago, China and the United States "promoted the big ball with small balls" and melted the hard ice that had been isolated from each other for more than 20 years. At the World Table Tennis Championships in Houston in November this year, Chinese and American table tennis delegations teamed up to play in the mixed doubles competition, and then continued the "table tennis love".

  "In the past 50 years, one of the most important events in international relations was the restoration and development of Sino-US relations, which benefited the two countries and the world. In the next 50 years, the most important thing in international relations is that China and the United States must find the right way to get along. " The supreme leader’s eyes look to the future from the depths of history.

  Sino-US relations are not a multiple-choice question about whether to do well, but a compulsory question about how to do well. The last administration of the United States went against the trend and carried out extremely wrong anti-China policies, which seriously harmed China’s interests and led to unprecedented difficulties in Sino-US relations. In 2021, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader should make two phone calls with President Biden and hold the first video meeting in the history of the first US dollar. Chairman of the Supreme Leader comprehensively expounded China’s principled position on Sino-US relations, clearly put forward a strategic framework of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation, and steered the healthy and stable development of bilateral relations.

  "History is fair. What a politician does, whether it is right or wrong, must be recorded in history." In the video meeting of the first dollar of China and the United States on November 16, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader expressed the great historical view and strong sense of responsibility of the leaders of big countries.

  China’s thinking of answering the question of the century is clear and firm — —

  "At present, the international community faces many common problems. China and the United States should show a big picture, shoulder great responsibilities, persist in looking forward and moving forward, and show strategic courage and political courage to push Sino-US relations back to the correct track of stable development as soon as possible, so as to better benefit the two peoples and the people of all countries in the world." "China and the United States are two giant ships sailing in the sea. We should stabilize the rudder so that the two giant ships of China and the United States can move forward together against the wind and waves, without yawing, stalling or colliding." From putting forward the "three principles" that China and the United States should adhere to in getting along with each other in the new era to the "four priorities" that China and the United States should focus on promoting, China has shown enough sincerity and expects the United States and China to move in the opposite direction and push the relations between the two countries back to the correct track of healthy and stable development. Both heads of state stressed the importance of Sino-US relations, opposed a "new cold war" and agreed that China and the United States should not be in conflict and confrontation.

  If you combine, it will benefit both sides, but if you fight, it will hurt both sides. This is the most important experience and lesson drawn from the exchanges between China and the United States for more than half a century, and the future history will surely continue to prove this truth. It is hoped that the US will earnestly implement the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, abide by the spirit of Three Joint Communiqués, live up to its promises, win the trust of others, and jointly explore with China the peaceful coexistence of two great powers with different systems, cultures and stages of development on this planet, so as to benefit the two countries and the people of the world.

  2021 is the 10th anniversary of the China-Europe train. There are 73 running routes that reach 175 cities in 23 countries in Europe, and the endless "steel camel team" connects China and Europe closely.

  The agreement on geographical indications between China and Europe came into effect, and landmark projects such as Piraeus Port, Hungary-Serbia Railway, and Peleshac Bridge were steadily promoted, and the integration of economic interests between China and Europe continued to deepen.

  "More than ever, the world needs mutual respect and sincere cooperation, not suspicion of opposition and zero-sum game. I hope that China and Europe will expand consensus and cooperation and play an important role in properly coping with global challenges. " On April 16th and July 5th, in less than three months, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader held two video summits with French and German leaders, proposing that in developing China-EU relations, we should adhere to correct mutual understanding, expand mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation, safeguard true multilateralism, and persist in building a stable and balanced relationship between major powers. We hope that the EU will play more active roles in international affairs, truly embody strategic autonomy, and jointly safeguard world peace, stability, development and prosperity. The leaders of the two countries said that EU-China relations are very important, the two sides have a lot of consensus, and there are many areas for cooperation. They should respect each other, reduce differences through strengthening dialogue, and are willing to continue to promote cooperation with China in a pragmatic manner.

  This year, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader presided over the China — Leaders of Central and Eastern European countries delivered a keynote speech at the summit, telephoned leaders of Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Finland and other countries, firmly grasped the general direction and main tone of the development of China-EU relations from a strategic perspective, promoted communication, coordination and cooperation between China and the EU, and actively built four partnerships of peace, growth, reform and civilization between China and the EU.

  As two major powers, two major markets and two major civilizations in the world, what China and Europe advocate, oppose and cooperate is of world significance. This is also the heart of the Supreme Leader Chairman — — When talking to French President Macron on the phone, he pointed out that the current international situation is changing rapidly, and our timely communication and coordination on major issues is conducive to steering Sino-French relations and injecting more stability into the world situation; On the phone with German Chancellor Scholz, he pointed out that both China and Germany are big countries with important influence, and the good development of bilateral relations is not only in the fundamental interests of the two countries and their peoples, but also conducive to world peace and stability; On the phone with Michel, President of the European Council, he pointed out that the EU and member States are welcome to actively participate in global development initiatives and work together with China and other countries to help developing countries realize the UN’s 2030 sustainable development agenda … …

  The greatness of a big country lies not in its size, size and fist, but in its breadth of mind, pattern and responsibility. The Chairman of the Supreme Leader has always viewed the relations between major powers from a strategic and long-term perspective, and has always planned the relations between major powers from the perspective of safeguarding global common interests, promoting peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation among major powers on the basis of mutual respect, and making important contributions to coping with global challenges, defending world peace, promoting global development and maintaining a just and rational international order.

  March forward firmly on the bright road of good-neighborliness, friendship and win-win cooperation.

  On December 3rd, with the departure instruction issued by Chairman Supreme Leader and Laos president Tong Lun, the trains of Fuxing Hulk in Kunming Station in China and Lancang in Vientiane Station in Laos started slowly, and the whole line of China-Laos Railway with a total length of 1,035 kilometers was opened for operation.

  Co-construction of China-Laos Railway is an important decision made by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader together with the Lao leaders, and it is a vivid portrayal of China’s adherence to the diplomatic concept of being sincere and accommodating neighboring countries and building a community of neighboring destiny. China-Laos Railway is a connecting road and a development road, which not only makes Laos change from a "land locked country" to a "land linked country" and makes the dream of the Lao people come true, but also becomes an accelerator for regional interconnection and a new engine for economic cooperation.

  The surrounding area is the base of China’s development and prosperity. Maintaining regional peace and stability and achieving common and sustainable development is a common task for China and neighboring countries.

  In 2021, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader made more than 30 calls and calls with leaders of neighboring countries, and attended a series of bilateral and multilateral activities, which promoted the awareness of the surrounding community of destiny to be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and promoted the deepening and deepening of bilateral and multilateral relations.

  "China will unswervingly take ASEAN as its neighboring diplomatic priority, unswervingly support ASEAN unity and ASEAN community building, unswervingly support ASEAN’s central position in the regional structure, and unswervingly support ASEAN to play a greater role in regional and international affairs." In China — At the 30th anniversary summit of ASEAN’s dialogue relations, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader summed up the valuable experience of ASEAN cooperation in China and put forward five suggestions on building a peaceful, peaceful, prosperous, beautiful and friendly home. China-ASEAN relations have been upgraded to a comprehensive strategic partnership, setting a new milestone in the history of bilateral relations, and building a closer China — The ASEAN destiny community has injected new impetus.

  "We should hold high ‘ Shanghai spirit ’ Banner, grasp the direction of development in the historical trend of democratization of international relations, promote its own development in the grand pattern of common development of mankind, build a closer community of destiny of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and make greater contributions to lasting peace and common prosperity in the world. " On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader profoundly summed up the "Shanghai Cooperation Experience" of promoting political mutual trust, safeguarding security and stability, seeking common prosperity and development, and sharing international morality, and clearly put forward the "China Plan" of taking the road of unity and cooperation, sharing safety and security, opening up and accommodating, learning from each other, and fairness and justice, in order to promote the SCO organizations in a wider scope, in a wider field and at a deeper level.

  "Kindness and kindness are the treasures of the country." General Secretary of the Supreme Leader maintained close communication with Kim Jong-un, General Secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea, which led the steady development of China-DPRK relations and added new connotations to the traditional friendship between the two countries. Next year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea, and bilateral relations are facing new opportunities for deepening development. Chairman Supreme Leader and South Korean President Moon Jae in jointly announced the official launch of the China-South Korea Cultural Exchange Year. Next year will also usher in the 50th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan. At the request of the Supreme Leader, President kishida fumio telephoned Japanese Prime Minister, reached an important consensus on building Sino-Japanese relations that meet the requirements of the new era, and pushed bilateral relations to overcome interference and achieve healthy and stable development.

  "Those who plan for righteousness will win, and those who do things for the people will succeed." In the face of frequent variation in Covid-19, China joined hands with neighboring countries to fight the epidemic, and composed a song of unity of mutual help. "The more difficult it is, the more it shows the friendship and unity between China and China." "vaccine is the main force to help Cambodia build an immune barrier." "When people are in trouble, China first helped Mongolia to fight the epidemic and restore its economy, and expressed heartfelt thanks for this." "This is the first batch of COVID-19 vaccines that the Philippines has welcomed, thanks to the China government" … … The people of neighboring countries are full of affectionate words, which shows their approval and recognition of China’s construction of a community of human destiny.

  China pursues an open strategy of mutual benefit and win-win, strengthens and expands mutually beneficial cooperation with neighboring countries in all directions, and constantly brings development opportunities to all parties in the region through its own development. China complied with the general trend of regional cooperation and took the lead in ratifying the Agreement on Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership. On January 1st next year, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement will come into effect. The official launch of this free trade zone with the largest population, the largest membership structure and the greatest development potential in the world will greatly release the economic and trade vitality of the Asia-Pacific region. China proposes to start the construction of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area Version 3.0 as soon as possible, and is willing to import more high-quality products from ASEAN countries, promote the joint construction of the "Belt and Road", cooperate with the India-Pacific prospect put forward by ASEAN, and build a high-quality development demonstration zone for the "Belt and Road" international capacity cooperation, which will surely effectively promote regional countries to build a prosperous and beautiful home.

  Those who meet with their hearts become long-lasting. Looking forward to the future, China will continue to overcome difficulties and seek common development with regional countries, jointly safeguard regional peace and stability, constantly expand the cake of common interests, share cooperation opportunities and development achievements, and forge ahead firmly on the bright road of good neighborliness, friendship and win-win cooperation.

  Always be a reliable friend and sincere partner of developing countries.

  In today’s world, the rise of emerging market countries and developing countries in groups has promoted historic changes in the balance of international power. However, the COVID-19 epidemic has brought unprecedented impacts and tests to developing countries, and unilateralism, protectionism and hegemonism are on the rise, seriously threatening international fairness and justice.

  The vast number of developing countries are China’s natural allies in international affairs, and China has always been committed to doing a good job in solidarity and cooperation with developing countries. In 2021, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader telephoned the leaders of developing countries such as Asia, Africa, Latin America and Pacific island countries for more than 30 times, attended the opening ceremony of the eighth ministerial conference of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation by video and delivered a keynote speech to China — The Third Ministerial Meeting of the Forum of the Latin American Community delivered a video address to the Fifth China — Congratulatory letter from the Arab Expo, effectively promoting China and developing countries to work together for common development.

  Unity and cooperation have been the main theme of China-Africa diplomatic relations for 65 years. At the opening ceremony of the 8th Ministerial Conference of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, 55 flags of China, 53 countries that have diplomatic relations with Africa and the African Union were lined up. Chairman of the Supreme Leader summed up and refined the spirit of China-Africa friendly cooperation of "sincere friendship, equal treatment, mutual benefit and common development, upholding justice, defending justice, adapting to the times, openness and tolerance", and put forward important proposals on building a community of destiny between China and Africa in the new era, proposing that China will work closely with African countries to jointly implement health care, poverty alleviation and benefiting farmers, trade promotion, investment-driven, digital innovation, green development, capacity building, humanities exchanges and so on. "For a long time, China has respected Africa’s independence, sovereignty and culture, sincerely supported Africa’s development, adhered to multilateralism in the international arena and safeguarded the interests of developing countries." Senegalese President Salle speaks the voice of African friends.

  China and China have proved that peaceful development, fairness and justice, and win-win cooperation are the right path in the world. The 5th China — The Arab Expo has signed 277 contracts, with planned investment and trade totaling 156.67 billion yuan, which has effectively promoted China-Arab cooperation to a higher level; The Third Ministerial Meeting of the China-Latin America Forum focused on development issues and worked out a road map for cooperation in the next three years. Building the "Belt and Road" with high quality has become more practical in Latin America, and China-Latin America relations have taken new steps in building a new era of equality, mutual benefit, innovation, openness and benefiting the people. China has resumed diplomatic relations with Nicaragua and more and more friends are seeking common cooperation and development. China for the first time — The Foreign Ministers’ Meeting of the Pacific Island Countries has achieved important achievements such as building an emergency material reserve, a cooperation center for poverty alleviation and development, and a cooperation center for tackling climate change, and has made positive progress towards building a community of destiny between China and the Pacific island countries.

  Vaccine, witness China’s role in helping developing countries overcome the epidemic. On March 20th, local time, the third batch of vaccines provided by China to Colombia arrived in Bogota, the capital of Colombia. President Duke, who is on a field trip, held a special ceremony to broadcast a video speech by the Chairman of the Supreme Leader to the whole country, thanking "the Chairman of the Supreme Leader and the brotherly people of China for their deep friendship to the Colombian people and their important support for Colombia’s fight against the epidemic". Only 5% of the population in low-income countries are fully vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine, and the "immune gap" has become the biggest obstacle to the global victory over the epidemic. China keeps its promise and promises, and not only provides vaccines to other countries throughout the year, but also carries out cooperative production, providing timely assistance to developing countries in fighting the epidemic.

  Fungi and grass witness the friendship between China and the vast number of developing countries across mountains and seas. On September 2nd, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader sent a congratulatory letter to the 20th anniversary of mushroom grass foreign aid and the international cooperation forum for sustainable development, saying that mushroom grass technology should become a "happy grass" for the benefit of people in developing countries. Twenty years ago, the Supreme Leader personally pushed China’s first demonstration base of foreign aid fungus and grass technology to be built in Papua New Guinea, which opened the prelude to international cooperation in fungus and grass technology. Today, this technology has been extended to more than 100 countries around the world, making an important contribution to eliminating poverty and improving people’s livelihood. Foreign friends sincerely praised: "The mushroom grass project is a microcosm of China’s great achievements in getting rid of poverty and a gift from China to the world."

  "Overcome the development gap between developed and developing countries and jointly promote the development and prosperity of all countries", "Promote the accessibility and affordability of vaccines in developing countries", "Vigorously support the green and low-carbon development of energy in developing countries" and "enhance the representation and voice of developing countries in international affairs" … … The Chairman of the Supreme Leader spoke out for the developing countries on a series of multilateral occasions, fully demonstrating China’s firm determination to always stand with the developing countries and always be their reliable friend and sincere partner.

  With sincerity as the background, the correct concept of justice and interests as the guide, and unity and cooperation as the direction, the road for China and developing countries to move forward hand in hand will surely become wider and wider.

  Let the torch of multilateralism light the way forward for mankind.

  The times we live in are full of challenges and hopes. Only by facing up to the most grand and important problems in the world today and using will, ability and action to solve the problems of the times can mankind overcome challenges and usher in hope.

  The COVID-19 epidemic has profoundly changed human society. The recovery momentum of the world economy is very unstable, and the prospects are very uncertain; The problem of fairness has become increasingly prominent, the gap between North and South has further intensified, and the cause of sustainable development is facing severe risks; With the increasing global challenges, it is urgent to improve and strengthen global governance; Ideological prejudice has escalated, and the voice of peaceful coexistence and mutual benefit and win-win has become stronger.

  "The problems in the world are complicated, and the way to solve them is to maintain and practice multilateralism and promote the building of a community of human destiny." On January 25th, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader attended the World Economic Forum’s "Davos Agenda" dialogue by video, profoundly expounded the essence of multilateralism, and clearly pointed out that we should adhere to openness and tolerance and not engage in isolation and exclusion; We must adhere to the international laws as the basis and not be self-centered; We should persist in consultation and cooperation and not engage in conflict and confrontation; We should keep pace with the times and not be complacent. China advocated a clear idea of jointly creating a better future for mankind in order to conform to the era of great development and great change.

  Throughout the year of China’s multilateral diplomacy, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader reiterated the importance of maintaining true multilateralism again and again, cleared up the ideological fog, defined the principles and directions for improving and strengthening global governance, and showed the role of a big country at a critical moment.

  Different from individual countries that engage in "clique" and "group politics" under the guise of "multilateralism", China advocates joint efforts, joint construction and sharing, and advocates equal rights, equal opportunities and equal rules, and all countries participate in global governance together. The Chairman of the Supreme Leader sets the tone for true multilateralism: the essence of multilateralism is that international affairs are discussed and handled by all, and the future and destiny of the world are jointly controlled by all countries. Chairman of the Supreme Leader gave a clear framework for multilateralism: there is only one system in the world, that is, the international system with the United Nations at its core. There is only one order, and that is the international order based on international law. There is only one set of rules, that is, the basic norms of international relations based on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter.

  Different from individual countries who hold cold war and hegemonic thinking and try to put their own interests above international rules, China emphasizes openness, tolerance and keeping pace with the times, so that multilateralism can truly serve the interests of all mankind. In view of the reality, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader profoundly pointed out that international rules can only be jointly formulated by the 193 Member States of the United Nations, and cannot be decided by individual countries or groups of countries. International rules should be observed by all 193 Member States of the United Nations, and there are no exceptions and there should be no exceptions. Looking forward to the future, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader clearly pointed out that multilateralism in the 21st century should be innovative and future-oriented. It should not only adhere to the core values and basic principles of multilateralism, but also reform and improve the global governance system on the basis of extensive consultations and consensus-building, based on the changes in the world structure, focusing on meeting the needs of global challenges.

  As representatives of emerging market countries and developing countries, BRICS countries are committed to promoting world economic recovery, improving global economic governance and promoting democratization of international relations, and have become an important force in international relations and an active builder of the international system. At the 13th meeting of BRICS leaders, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader put forward five initiatives, namely, to help each other in the same boat, strengthen public health cooperation, to be fair and accessible, to strengthen international cooperation on vaccines, to be mutually beneficial and win-win, to strengthen economic cooperation, to be fair and just, to strengthen political and security cooperation, to learn from each other, and to strengthen humanities exchanges and cooperation, so as to push the pragmatic cooperation of BRICS towards a higher quality. All parties reaffirm their support for multilateralism and the basic norms of international relations, oppose unilateralism and hegemonism, and advocate that all countries respect each other’s independence, sovereignty and equality. They will strengthen communication and coordination on major international and regional issues, work together to cope with climate change, and promote the building of a community of human destiny.

  This year marks the 50th anniversary of the restoration of the legitimate seat of New China in the United Nations, as well as the 30th anniversary of China’s accession to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation and the 20th anniversary of its accession to the World Trade Organization. Important historical nodes record the solid steps of China’s stepping onto the multilateral stage and making new contributions to global governance.

  On October 25th, a commemorative meeting was held to commemorate the 50th anniversary of People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s resumption of its lawful seat in the United Nations. In the golden hall of the Great Hall of the People, the lights are bright and flowers are blooming. National Flag of the People’s Republic of China and the United Nations flag complement each other, and the flag array composed of the flags of the United Nations Member States is magnificent. "The 50 years since New China resumed its legitimate seat in the United Nations have been 50 years of peaceful development and benefit for mankind in China." Chairman of the Supreme Leader pointed out that in the past 50 years, the people of China have always been United and cooperated with the people of other countries in the world, safeguarding international fairness and justice and making great contributions to world peace and development; Over the past 50 years, the people of China have always maintained the authority and status of the United Nations, practiced multilateralism, and the cooperation between China and the United Nations has been deepening.

  China and the United Nations have been working together for 50 years, and a very important experience is that we should always adhere to the ideals of the United Nations, unswervingly follow the road of multilateralism, and sincerely contribute to world peace and development. In this year, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader put forward major ideas such as jointly building a community of human and natural life and a community of global development destiny, constantly expanding the rich connotation of the community of human destiny and constantly promoting the true concept of multilateralism to take root. UN Secretary-General Guterres thanked China for always adhering to multilateralism, supporting the work of the United Nations, and playing an important role and making great contributions to promoting world peace and development.

  Xiao Zhi governs affairs, and great wisdom governs the system. China will always be a builder of world peace, a contributor to global development, a defender of international order, and a provider of public goods. It will continue to work with other countries in the world, unite under the banner of the United Nations, promote the building of a community of human destiny, and let the torch of multilateralism light the way forward for mankind.

  Set an example and provide more public goods for the international community.

  American scholar kindleberger pointed out that in order to develop and stabilize the world economy, some responsible big countries should take the initiative to provide public goods, thus providing support for a stable international system. However, with the increasing tendency of some traditional big countries to take care of the domestic market, people are worried about whether the world will fall into the "Gindelberg trap" of insufficient supply of international public goods.

  "Big countries should set an example and provide more public goods." The Chairman of the Supreme Leader made it clear when he was on the phone with UN Secretary-General Guterres. In his important speech at the general debate of the 76th UN General Assembly, the Chairman of the Supreme Leader emphasized that China has always been a "provider of public goods" and "will continue to provide new opportunities for the world with the new development of China".

  "We believe that as long as it is beneficial to all mankind, China should be duty-bound to do it and do it well." This is China’s firm commitment, but also China’s practical action. From economic and infrastructure products, to environmental and social products, to institutional and conceptual products, China tries its best to provide the world with international public goods without any political conditions, constantly adding vitality, motivation and determination to global development, and demonstrating China’s wisdom, strength and responsibility.

  This year, the "traditional" public products provided by China were very popular.

  Pursuing development, advocating win-win situation and conveying hope can overcome difficulties in building the "Belt and Road". The annual report released by the 2021 annual meeting of Boao Forum for Asia pointed out that in the face of the epidemic test, the related projects of building the "Belt and Road" continued to advance, and there were many highlights of cooperation results. Trade and investment grew against the trend and became a bright color in the haze of the epidemic.

  In the first 10 months of this year, the trade volume of goods between China and the partners who jointly built the "Belt and Road" increased by 23% against the trend, and the freight volume of China-Europe trains ran out of acceleration. So far, 145 countries and 32 international organizations have signed more than 200 cooperation documents with China to jointly build the Belt and Road Initiative. The "Belt and Road" is becoming a "rich road" that benefits the world and a "happy road" that benefits the people.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader stressed at the third symposium on the construction of the Belt and Road: "Through joint construction ‘ Belt and Road ’ It has improved the opening level of various regions in China, expanded the field of opening up to the outside world, promoted institutional opening up, built a wide circle of friends, explored new ways to promote common development, and achieved mutual benefit and win-win results. "

  From proposing to build a closer health partnership, a closer interconnected partnership, a closer green development partnership, and a closer open and inclusive partnership, to emphasizing deepening political mutual trust, deepening interconnection, deepening trade smoothness, deepening financial intermediation, and deepening humanities exchanges, and building the "Belt and Road" with high quality has achieved solid and heavy achievements, and it is moving towards the goal of high standards, sustainability, and benefiting people’s livelihood.

  "Since joining the World Trade Organization, China has continuously expanded its opening up, which has activated the surging spring tide of China’s development and a pool of spring water in the world economy." Chairman of the Supreme Leader said in his keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the 4th China International Import Expo.

  China International Import Expo(CIIE), the world’s first national exhibition with the theme of import, has become more and more popular in the past four years.

In the important year of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), it is of special significance to observe the relationship between China and the world from the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s century-old historical experience.

  A just cause should be pursued for the common good. The reason why the Communist Party of China (CPC) has gained true friends and good friends all over the world is because in the past 100 years, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has worked hard for the happiness of the people of China, the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the progress of mankind, and the great harmony of the world, and has profoundly changed the trend and pattern of world development through unremitting efforts.

  From "China should make great contributions to mankind" to "the overall strength of the country will be greater, and more things can be done for mankind", and then to "the people of China should not only live a good life for themselves, but also pursue the great harmony in the world", the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s feelings for the world are getting deeper and deeper because of the development and growth of itself and China.

  The Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee adopted the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Resolution on the Great Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party’s Hundred Years’ Struggle, which regards "keeping in mind the world" as one of the precious historical experiences accumulated by the Party’s hundred years’ struggle. It is a summary of the Party’s correct understanding and handling of the relationship with the outside world from the great trend of human development, the great pattern of world changes and the great history of China’s development, and an important declaration that the Party continues to contribute wisdom and strength to the progress of human civilization.

  The Communist Party of China (CPC), with the world in mind, has been expanding and deepening the circle of friends of political parties. The Communist Party of China (CPC) has deepened its contacts with the ruling parties in socialist countries, strengthened its relations with political parties in neighboring countries, enriched its contacts with political parties in developing countries, gradually matured its institutionalized contacts with political parties in major countries, made new breakthroughs in its contacts with emerging political parties, and actively promoted the establishment of a new type of political party relationship featuring seeking common ground while reserving differences, mutual respect and mutual learning. "Under the leadership of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, today’s the Communist Party of China (CPC) has become the largest political force in the world and played a more important role in the international arena." Snopkov, the first deputy prime minister of the Belarusian government, sincerely praised him.

On July 6th, in the Golden Hall of the Great Hall of the People, the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the World Summit of Political Party Leaders kicked off. On the giant screen with a length of 34 meters and a height of 6 meters, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader is "in the same box" with the leaders of more than 500 political parties and organizations in more than 160 countries. "As an important force to promote human progress, political parties should anchor the correct direction and shoulder the historical responsibility of seeking happiness for the people and progress for mankind." The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader proposed that political parties in all countries should shoulder the responsibility of leading the way, building consensus, promoting development, strengthening cooperation and improving governance.

  "the Communist Party of China (CPC) is doing these things because the Communist Party of China (CPC) is a political party that seeks happiness for the people of China and is also a political party that strives to promote the cause of human progress." On June 21st, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader wrote in a reply to the overseas students in Peking University. This also answers why the Communist Party of China (CPC) can create a century-old glory with world significance, and why China can uphold the concept of a community of human destiny and devote itself to building a world of lasting peace, universal security, common prosperity, openness, tolerance, cleanliness and beauty.

  Advance in the logic of historical progress and develop in the trend of the times.

  History is always advancing, and the world can’t return to the past. Every choice we make and every action we take today will determine the future of the world.

  History will surely remember that China will build a well-off society in an all-round way in 2021 and start a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. The world pays more attention to how China, which is approaching the center of the world stage, will handle its relations with the outside world.

  In the future, the background color will be laid in this landmark year.

  "China has started a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way. We will base ourselves on the new development stage, implement the new development concept, build a new development pattern, build a new open economic system with a higher level, create a more attractive business environment, and promote high-quality joint construction ‘ Belt and Road ’ To achieve a higher level of mutual benefit and win-win with the world and Asia-Pacific countries. "

  "Our goal is grand and simple. In the final analysis, it is to make all people in China live a good life." "China people’s yearning for a better life is the greatest endogenous driving force for China’s development and an inevitable historical trend. Whoever wants to stop this historical trend, the people of China will not agree, and they can’t stop it at all."

  … … … …

  The Chairman of the Supreme Leader told the story of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the story of China and the idea of China with deep affection, showing the world that no matter how the international situation changes, China has always put its own development in the coordinate system of human development, always combined the interests of the people of China with the common interests of people of all countries, and always linked the Chinese dream with the dreams of people of all countries in the world, bringing new hopes and opportunities to the world and making new and greater contributions to promoting the building of a community of human destiny. At the same time, China will unswervingly safeguard its sovereignty, security and development interests.

  On the new journey, China will stick to the road of peaceful development. If a country or a nation wants to revitalize, it must advance in the logic of historical progress and develop in the trend of the times. China will always hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation and win-win, and pursue an independent foreign policy of peace. It will not only develop itself through safeguarding world peace, but also safeguard world peace through its own development. Advocating peace does not mean being weak. The people of China are people who advocate justice and are not afraid of violence, and the Chinese nation is a nation with strong national pride and self-confidence. The people of China have never bullied, oppressed or enslaved the people of other countries, and will never allow any foreign forces to bully, oppress or enslave us.

  On the new journey, China will stick to the road of reform and opening up. "China’s determination to expand high-level opening-up will not change, nor will its determination to share development opportunities with the world, nor will its determination to promote economic globalization in a more open, inclusive, inclusive, balanced and win-win direction." At the opening ceremony of the 4th China International Import Expo(CIIE), the words of the Chairman of the Supreme Leader were sonorous. Opening wider to the outside world does not mean losing yourself. No nation or country in human history can achieve strength and rejuvenation by relying on external forces, copying foreign models and following others. China actively learns from all the beneficial achievements of human civilization, and at the same time will continue to adhere to independence, put the development of the country and the nation on the basis of its own strength, and insist that the affairs of China must be advocated and handled by the people of China themselves.

  On the new journey, China will stick to the road of multilateralism. There is only one earth for mankind, and there is only one common future for mankind. Whether dealing with the current crisis or creating a better future, mankind needs to help each other in the same boat, unite and cooperate. China will continue to firmly practice true multilateralism, safeguard the international system with the United Nations at the core, the international order based on international law and the basic norms of international relations based on the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, uphold the concept of seeking common development, building and sharing, explore cooperation ideas and innovative cooperation modes with other countries, and constantly enrich the practice of multilateralism under the new situation. To maintain multilateralism, we must resolutely oppose unilateralism. China will continue to work with other countries to jointly oppose all acts of unilateralism in the name of multilateralism, jointly oppose hegemonism and power politics, and resolutely safeguard international fairness and justice.

  Today’s China is not only China in China, but also China in Asia and China in the world. China in the future will embrace the world with a more open attitude, contribute to the world with more dynamic civilization achievements, and continue to create the great historical time of the Chinese nation in the great time history of mankind.

  The mountain has a ridge, and the house is solid because of the beam. Looking back on the coming year of 2021, under the guidance of the Supreme Leader, the diplomacy of China as a big country with characteristics in the new era has been comprehensively promoted, and building a community of human destiny has become a clear banner leading the trend of the times and the direction of human progress, showing strong international influence, appeal and shaping power. One China concept after another, one China plan after another, and one China action after another have effectively pushed the world’s unprecedented great changes to evolve in a direction conducive to the progress of human civilization.

  China has always stood on the right side of history, on the side of human progress, on the side of international fairness and justice, and on the side of developing countries. In the new era and new journey, China will work with all peace-loving countries and people to write a new chapter of win-win cooperation.
