What has New China brought to the world in the past 75 years?
2024-09-29
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Remembering the turbulent years of the past. Seventy five years ago, the CPC led the Chinese people through ups and downs, and the Republic emerged from the ruins of war. In the face of the difficult situation of all kinds of things to be done and all kinds of things to be done, the CPC, with the great power of hundreds of millions of Chinese people, has created an unprecedented development miracle in human history through unswerving exploration and struggle. 75 years of turbulence have changed the world. The Chinese nation has achieved a great leap from standing up, becoming rich, to becoming strong. The journey on the main road is brisk and steady. Over the past 75 years, China has demonstrated the great responsibility of a responsible major country to the world with a posture of peace, development, and cooperation. This process is not only a self transcendence of the Chinese nation, but also a positive contribution to the common development of humanity. At the beginning of the founding of New China, the guardian of world peace, it demonstrated its strength and responsibility as a guardian of world peace to the world. In the 1950s, the victory of the Korean War clearly conveyed to the world the firm belief of New China in defending sovereignty and maintaining regional peace. The proposal of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence injects the Chinese wisdom of "harmony in diversity, beauty in common" into international relations. At a time when the global national liberation movements were surging in the 20th century, China actively supported the national liberation movements in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, helping many countries to break free from external oppression and demonstrating the national spirit of the "great hero" to the world. Over the past 75 years, China has always firmly opposed hegemonism and power politics, advocated equality and respect among countries, respected the right of people of all countries to choose their own development path, opposed interference in the internal affairs of other countries, and continued to promote the development of international relations in a more just direction. In the new era, China has put forward the Global Security Initiative and elevated this concept to the strategic level of global cooperation. This initiative emphasizes respecting the sovereignty of all countries, resolving international disputes properly, abandoning the Cold War mentality, and establishing a genuine common security system. This not only provides a new path beyond traditional security frameworks for European and American countries that have experienced Cold War confrontation, but also offers a Chinese solution for global security governance. Whether as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council participating in international peacekeeping or providing diplomatic mediation for global conflict areas, China has always been at the forefront of maintaining global peace and stability. The "Chinese Blue Helmets" in UN peacekeeping operations have become a symbol of peace and justice, and China's mediation role in regional conflicts is widely praised. As an important force in promoting world peace and stability, China continues to push for the construction of a new international security architecture, sowing more seeds of peace for the turbulent world. The development of China, the leader of the global economy, is closely linked to the world. In the early days of its establishment, New China made efforts to break through external blockades and actively engaged in foreign exchanges. After the reform and opening up, China followed the trend of globalization, firmly implemented the basic national policy of opening up to the outside world, opened its doors for construction, embraced the world, learned from the world, and contributed to the world, interacting well with the world and developing together. The large-scale "invite in" policy has injected unlimited vitality and energy into China, and has also led foreign companies to choose to invest and develop in China. More and more international people are coming to China to study, work, and travel, fully reflecting China's attractiveness and influence on the global stage. Joining the World Trade Organization (WTO) and signing a series of free trade agreements have enabled China to participate more extensively and deeply in international economic and trade exchanges and cooperation, promoting the sustained growth of world trade. From a semi colonial and semi feudal era of isolationism to leading free trade today, China has undergone an astonishing transformation over the past 75 years, radiating unprecedented global influence. Development is the key to solving all problems, but the world is currently facing a development deficit. Faced with this global issue, China has put forward the Global Development Initiative, which is a positive response based on China's profound thinking on global development issues. The support of the people is the greatest politics, and the global development initiative emphasizes the importance of "putting the people at the center", "development for the people, development relying on the people, and development achievements shared by the people". This is not a simple political slogan, but a development concept demonstrated by China to the world through vivid practices such as poverty reduction, education popularization, and healthcare system construction. According to statistics, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, China has lifted nearly 800 million people out of poverty, contributing over 70% to global poverty reduction and composing the "most successful poverty alleviation story" in human history. United Nations Secretary General Guterres commented that "China is the country that has made the greatest contribution to global poverty reduction." China's economic development has not only promoted the improvement of the living standards of the Chinese people, but also injected strong impetus into global economic development. According to a World Bank report, from 2013 to 2021, China's average contribution rate to world economic growth was as high as 38.6%, exceeding the total contribution rate of the G7 countries. It is the primary driving force behind world economic growth and an important leader in global economic growth. China's development as a contributor to global governance is not only reflected in the economic field, but also in its deep participation in global governance. As an active promoter and firm practitioner of global climate governance, China has proposed carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals, and implemented many national strategies to actively address climate change. In 2020, China's carbon emission intensity decreased by 48.4% compared to 2005, exceeding the target of a 40% -45% reduction by 2020 promised to the international community, and basically reversing the rapid growth of carbon dioxide emissions. In 2020, non fossil energy accounted for 15.9% of China's energy consumption, an increase of 8.5 percentage points from 2005, and the dependence on coal consumption has significantly decreased. On July 16, 2021, China's carbon emission trading market officially launched online trading, with 2162 key emission units in the power generation industry included in the first compliance cycle. The annual carbon emissions covered exceed 4.5 billion tons, making it the largest carbon market in the world in terms of greenhouse gas emissions coverage. As the largest developing country with a global population of over 1.4 billion, China is facing a series of daunting challenges such as economic development, improvement of people's livelihoods, pollution control, and ecological protection. However, in order to achieve the goal of global climate governance, China is not afraid of difficulties and has actively formulated and implemented a series of strategies, regulations, policies, standards, and actions, making China's contribution to global climate governance. At the same time, China is promoting the transformation of global development governance through practical actions, actively participating in and leading the construction of multilateral mechanisms. Whether it is establishing the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank or deepening cooperation among BRICS countries, China has always been committed to building a more inclusive and just new model of international cooperation. China's initiative of jointly building the "the Belt and Road", advocating the development principle of "mutual consultation, joint construction and sharing", and advocating that the world should not be rich and poor, not only increased the voice of developing countries, but also provided strong support for the "Global South" countries to integrate into the international community, and fulfilled China's firm commitment to global harmony and common prosperity. For 75 years, as a promoter of mutual learning among human civilizations, China has always attached great importance to and continuously strengthened cultural exchanges with countries around the world. The profound accumulation of China's 5000 year civilization has been widely spread and exchanged with the development of China. China, with its unique cultural perspective and values, has provided the world with a way of thinking that is different from the West. The Confucian philosophy of "harmony is precious" and "do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself" has endowed China's diplomacy with a unique temperament. From Confucius Institutes to cultural cooperation with countries jointly building the "the Belt and Road", China has always been committed to adding harmony and vitality to the "global village" with culture as the link. Civilizations communicate through diversity, learn from each other through communication, and develop through mutual learning. Focusing on promoting cultural exchange and mutual learning, and advancing human civilization, China has put forward the Global Civilization Initiative, which is another important public good provided by China to the international community in the new era, following the Global Development Initiative and the Global Security Initiative. This initiative emphasizes respect for the diversity of world civilizations, advocating for "cultural exchanges to transcend cultural barriers, cultural mutual learning to transcend cultural conflicts, and cultural inclusiveness to transcend cultural superiority", greatly expanding the depth and breadth of exchanges between different civilizations, and making Chinese contributions to consolidating the humanistic foundation of building a community with a shared future for mankind and creating a common spiritual wealth for mankind. In the past 75 years, the Chinese people have been proud of their brilliant achievements and remain modest and enterprising; After 75 years of vicissitudes and great changes, China's determination to learn from each other and cooperate for mutual benefit with the international community remains unchanged. In the future, China will integrate into the world with a more open and inclusive attitude, practice the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, and inject confidence and motivation for humanity to move towards a bright future.
