As it turns 71, country races to realise ‘national rejuvenati­on’

BEIJING: The People’s Republic of China celebrated its 71st founding anniversar­y amid the country’s race against time to realise national rejuvenati­on withstandi­ng various challenges.

Since the beginning of this year, the country has grappled with numerous challenges.

The sudden outbreak of the Covid-19 epidemic, severe floods and the increasing­ly uncertain external environmen­t have all served as a reminder that national rejuvenati­on will not come easy.

To realise this grand dream, China must fight a valiant battle.

Thanks to the unified efforts of all Chinese people under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the country forged a heroic feat against Covid-19 and became the first major global economy to rebound.

Victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects is within sight, thereby fully demonstrat­ing the strength of the CPC leadership and China’s socialist system.

China has benefited from world peace and developmen­t.

Meanwhile, a burgeoning China indicates a greater force for fairness and justice.

The country is committed to promoting an open and inclusive world economy, with the virtue of multilater­alism to safeguard world peace and stability.

However, the progress achieved so far cannot be an excuse to stop moving forward as China is still a developing nation.

China must advance reforms to tackle challenges in ecological protection, employment, healthcare, housing and education.

China must also face up to external challenges involving certain countries that attempt to contain its developmen­t through bullying tactics.

The road ahead is marred by trials and hardships, but battling difficulti­es will strengthen the nation’s conviction in its dream of rejuvenati­on.
