Brilliant prospects for Chinese nation

CHINA’S socialist system demonstrates great strength and vitality, President Xi Jinping said yesterday, and the Chinese people and the Chinese nation embrace brilliant prospects.

“Our Party shows strong, firm and vibrant leadership,” Xi said at the closing session of the Party’s 19th National Congress.

“Living in such a great era, we are all the more confident and proud, and also feel the heavy weight of responsibility upon us,” Xi told delegates.

It has been 96 years since the Party was founded, 68 years since the People’s Republic of China was established, and 39 years since reform and opening-up began.

The Party has united and led the Chinese people and the Chinese nation in ending “once and for all” the miserable plight of old China, which had been bullied by foreign aggressors following the Opium War of 1840, and in walking completely out of poverty and weakness, Xi said.

He said the congress was one of “remaining true to our original aspiration and our mission, holding high our banner, and forging ahead in solidarity.”

Xi called on delegates to study, observe, apply and uphold the constitution, and closely follow the Central Committee in thinking, political orientation and actions.

“In our Party, each and every one of us must always breathe the same breath as the people, share the same future, and stay truly connected to them,” he said.

“The aspirations of the people to live a better life must always be the focus of our efforts. We must keep on striving with endless energy toward the great goal of national rejuvenation,” he said.
