At present, the theme of the conference has not been officially announced. According to the news released by the official media, “a new journey of building a socialist modernized country in an all-round way and marching towards the goal of the second century” will become one of the main axes.
The Communist Party Congress is held every five years to chart the course of party and country governance for the next five years. As per Chinese officials, the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party not only determines the development blueprint for the next five years, but also matters for the next decade and beyond.
In 2012, after President Xi Jinping took office, he established and led a series of groups, from economic reform group to Taiwan affairs group and to national security group. In the past decade, China’s economy is developing rapidly, ideological trends are surging at the social level, science and technology and social productivity are constantly improving, and China’s international status and influence are greatly rising. With the increasing expansion of fan traffic and electronic payment platform, China has entered the cycle of scientific and technological change and the Internet age, and the Chinese people’s world outlook has become different from the past. The generation looking at the world horizontally has stepped onto the stage with confidence and self-confidence in the Communist Party of China and China.
On the eve of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party, Chinese official media launched the “Leading China” series one after another, praising President Xi Jinping’s achievements since the 18th National Congress. “Focusing on the overall situation of the great rejuvenation strategy of the Chinese nation and the unprecedented changes in the world in the past 100 years, it clearly proposed to uphold and strengthen the Party’s overall leadership”; “greet the victory of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China with practical actions”.
President Xi Jinping named the “new era” as the era of “strengthening”. The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China said that the new era means that the Chinese nation, which has suffered a lot in modern times, has ushered in a great leap from standing up, becoming rich to becoming strong.
Under President Xi Jinping’s leadership, China’s national strength reached its peak, and kept pace with the United States. Whether in the “Belt and Road Initiative” region or in the Asia-Pacific region, China has become a stronger presence and a more confident and active international participant. A stronger and more confident China shows itself on the world stage.
When the COVID-19 epidemic and the changes of the century are intertwined, the changes in China and the role that China can play in the international field become more and more important. China seems to be shouldering the mission of becoming the most powerful country in the world.
