Why the Communist Party Can Lead China's Peaceful Rise

Peaceful rise is an important strategic policy proposed by the Communist Party of China after our country's reform and opening up, and the economy has entered a period of rapid development.

Peaceful rise is a policy put forward by our party grasping the pulse of the times. In the second half of the 20th century, the world has gradually entered an era of peace and development from an era of war and revolution.

This is a major change in the world, and it is also a trend that is taking shape in the world, a powerful trend for peace, development and cooperation. The peaceful rise is exactly in line with this world trend, as Mr. Sun Yat-sen said: "The world trend is mighty; those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish."

Peaceful rise is a policy put forward by our party in consideration of the general trend of the world. Regardless of people's will, globalization is advancing all over the world. Today, if any country wants to develop and realize modernization, it cannot close its doors. To rise peacefully is to integrate into the tide of globalization. Our implementation of reform and opening up is part of this tide; our entry into the World Trade Organization is also part of this tide. Integrating into this tide has brought great development to China.

Peaceful rise is a policy put forward by our party on the basis of summarizing historical experience.

In the past few centuries, when the Western powers rose, they frantically plundered and expanded all over the world. It was met with fierce resistance from the oppressed people and nations all over the world, and its colonial expansion ended in failure. Peaceful rise means no expansion.

After the end of World War II, under the background of the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, two opposing military groups emerged, the "Warsaw Pact Organization" and the "North Atlantic Treaty Organization". The emergence of these two military blocs is a product of the bipolar era, which has ended and the Warsaw Pact has disintegrated. Peaceful rise means non-alignment.

The peaceful rise is a policy put forward by our party on the basis of considering the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation and the fundamental interests of the people of the world. After the world enters the 21st century, what is the goal pursued by the Chinese people and the people of the world? It is to build a harmonious world of lasting peace and common prosperity. Peace and prosperity are the eternal dreams of mankind. This dream was impossible to realize in the past, but in the 21st century it is possible to realize this dream. A number of developing countries are rising in the world today, which means that the lives of hundreds of millions of people will be greatly improved, and a dignified life is no longer elusive. Of course, there are still quite a few people in the world who have not escaped hunger and poverty. However, with the advancement and growth of the trend of peace, development and cooperation, the possibility of achieving lasting peace and common prosperity in the world is increasing. A peaceful rise means that China is an important force for promoting peace, development and cooperation.

Peaceful rise is not just a slogan. We have done exactly that over the past 30 years or so. More than 30 years of practice have proved that this path is feasible, and we will continue to walk along this path in the future. Realizing the peaceful rise of China, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the great rejuvenation of Chinese civilization will benefit not only the Chinese nation, but also the whole world
