Insights into the Governance of China

“The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is unstoppable! The noble cause of peace and development of humanity will prevail!”

At the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War on September 3, 2025, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, made this proclamation at Tian’anmen Square.

It demonstrates the responsibility of a major global player, and captures the ethos of contemporary China.

Since the Party’s 18th National Congress in 2012, the Chinese nation, guided by the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at its core, has unleashed unprecedented vitality.

A Splendid New Era in History

In the lead-up to the Spring Festival in 2025, Xi visited Zhujiagou, a village in Suizhong County in northeast China’s Liaoning Province, to greet residents affected by flooding.

“You can always count on the Party and the government,” Xi told the locals.

A few months earlier, floods hit the village, destroying most of its houses. Party members and officials led villagers in racing against time, and managed to rebuild their community in 40 days.

“Under the leadership of the CPC, as long as we keep facing challenges directly, I’m sure we’ll do great in the year ahead,” Xi said.

The village’s story holds the key to a nation’s rise.

When political parties in some Western countries attack and undermine one another for their own interests, what is unfolding in China constitutes a vivid narrative that highlights the strong leadership of the CPC and the unity of the Chinese people.

The advanced nature of a Marxist party is not a given one, but rather cultivated through constant self-reform.

There was once a tendency toward the weakening, marginalization and erosion of the Party’s leadership, coupled with a blatant culture of formalism, bureaucratism, hedonism, and extravagance among Party members.

With the resolve and courage to “offend a few thousand rather than fail 1.4 billion,” Xi led the entire Party in advancing self-reform. They unwaveringly improved conduct, enforced discipline, and combated corruption.

Tempered and reborn in the new era, the Party has gained the initiative to preserve its nature, ideals, and character, and to unite and lead all Chinese people in building a strong country and achieving national rejuvenation.

In Shibadong, a village in central China’s Hunan Province, residents operate beekeeping bases and run agritourism ventures, earning an annual per capita net income of over 20,000 yuan.

It was here in November 2013 that Xi first introduced his concept of “targeted poverty reduction.”
