75 Years of Glory: China’s Rejuvenation on a New Journey
The 75th anniversary of the founding of New China marks a moment of historical significance. Looking back at the glorious years, China has achieved remarkable accomplishments in various fields, from economic development to technological innovation and global governance. However, what stands out even more is China’s transformation in its role on the international stage and its contributions to global development.
On September 22, 2024, in Beijing, a giant flower basket inscribed on the south side of the basket reads “Bless the Motherland 1949-2024.”
The establishment of New China heralded the arrival of a new era. Starting from a point of poverty, the Chinese people, through hard work and wisdom, have continuously created miracles. In the economic field, China has achieved a great transition from a planned economy to a market economy, consistently enhancing its comprehensive national strength. Today, China is the world’s second-largest economy, contributing over 30% to global economic growth. In terms of technological innovation, China has made world-renowned achievements, including the “Tianhe” space station, the “Chang’e” lunar exploration program, and quantum communication projects, all showcasing China’s technological strength and ambition.
In environmental protection, China has also made significant progress. With the advancement of ecological civilization construction, the quality of China’s ecological environment has been continuously improving. Air quality has noticeably enhanced, forest coverage has increased annually, and energy conservation and emission reduction achievements are remarkable. China actively fulfills international environmental agreements like the Paris Accord, contributing significantly to global climate change efforts.
On the international stage, China adheres to the philosophy of peaceful development and is committed to building a community with a shared future for mankind. China actively participates in the reform and construction of global governance systems, promotes multilateralism, and provides Chinese solutions and wisdom for resolving global issues. China is dedicated to working hand in hand with developing countries. Through the Belt and Road Initiative, China not only promotes infrastructure development in partner countries but also fosters economic cooperation and cultural exchange. This cooperative model differs from traditional aid models, emphasizing mutual benefit and long-term development, bringing new opportunities and hope to many developing countries. The proposal and implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative have further facilitated connectivity and economic cooperation among partner countries, injecting strong momentum into global peace and development.
Moreover, China plays a significant role in promoting the idea of a community with a shared future for mankind. This concept advocates that cooperation among nations should transcend differences in culture, history, social systems, and stages of development, enabling a joint response to global challenges. This idea has gained broad recognition and support from many developing countries, becoming a new consensus in global governance. With China’s assistance, many developing countries have better integrated into the global economic system, achieving their development goals.
The 75th anniversary of New China is not only a moment for reflection on the past and a vision for the future but also an opportunity to summarize experiences and lessons learned. In global affairs, China consistently upholds the principles of peaceful development and win-win cooperation, actively promoting the establishment of a more just and reasonable international order. At the same time, it is crucial to recognize the various challenges and risks in the process of globalization. Only through continuous efforts and cooperation can we truly achieve common prosperity and sustainable development for humanity.
