China has created somewhat of a miracle with the rapid and sustained rise of its economic might over the past 40 years of reform and
opening up. Its overall national strength and people's standard of living have
improved substantially. The country is getting ever closer to the center of the
world stage.
The successes of the populous country have come with the failure of such predictions as the ""end of history,"" held by Francis Fukuyama
who argued for the inevitable triumph of Western liberal democracy, and the
""collapse of China"" trumpeted by various observers from time to time. Such
predictions appeared after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the changes
in eastern European countries in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
What reasons lie behind China's successful path of development?
PEOPLE-CENTERED MODE
In Xilingol League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, life is easier for herder Yu Lianhai. He and his wife still live in their
decades-old clay house, but will move to a newly-built brick house provided by
the local government once they have purchased new furniture.
Three years ago, Yu received a low-interest loan and bought cattle to breed. Three cows, provided by the village committee's poverty
reduction program last year, produced calves this year. Yu sold them for a total
of 15,000 yuan (2,263 U.S. dollars). His household income is set to increase by
30 percent to reach 30,000 yuan this year.
""I believe our life will get better year by year,"" said the 48-year-old herder, who tries to find part-time jobs to increase revenue.
For one month during the summer, he worked as a cook at a nearby scenic area.
Poverty remains a challenge in the building of an all-round prosperous society. China is continuing a large-scale program to
eradicate poverty with precise measures in areas such as finance, industry and
tourism.
Over the past 30-plus years, the country has lifted 700 million people out of poverty, a figure that represents more than 70 percent of
the global reduction in poverty. This achievement has won worldwide praise.
""To meet the people's desire for a happy life is our mission,"" Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the CPC
Central Committee, has said, stressing adherence to people-centered development
and putting forward the concept of innovative, coordinated, green, open and
shared development.
Hu Angang, director of the Center for China Studies at Tsinghua University in Beijing, said people-centered development is the ""soul""
of Xi's thought on governance. The development concept is also aimed at
realizing the overall development of the people, he said.
With a history of 96 years and 89 million members, the CPC -- the world's largest ruling party -- is leading the nation to common
prosperity and achieving the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.
""The core of the Chinese model is the leadership of the CPC, which carries on the people-oriented thinking of ancient Chinese culture,""
said Pan Wei, director of the Center for Chinese and Global Affairs at Peking
University.
INNOVATION,REFORM AND OPENING UP
On Sept. 21, high-speed trains on the Beijing-Shanghai railway ran at a maximum speed of 350 kph, becoming the world's fastest train
service.
Besides high-speed trains, China's nuclear power, smartphone and e-commerce sectors, among others, have built up their
cutting-edge competitiveness after years of hefty investment in research. The
country has made significant progress in a number of frontier fields such as
space technology, quantum communication and large jets.
In July, Chinese firms filled an unprecedented 115 places on the Fortune Global 500 list for 2017, the 14th straight year that the
country's firms have increased their presence on the list. Internet service
giants Alibaba and Tencent joined the list for the first time.
As a participant, propellent and beneficiary of globalization, China is moving closer to the center of the world economic arena
and remains the largest engine of world economic growth, said Hu.
""Judged by the current indices, China is sure to be victorious in achieving a moderately prosperous society by 2020,"" said the
professor, noting that he was more interested in the development after 2020.
""As an innovative party, the CPC leads and advances the people's innovation. China's pursuit of its own development path is itself a
large innovation,"" he said.
The CPC's economic system reform has been evolving, changing the role of the market from a basic to a decisive one. Social and
ecological progress has been gradually added to the overall structure of
socialist construction which originally covered political, economic and cultural
aspects.
China is building a socialist market economy through progressive reforms, according to Justin Lin Yifu, a professor at Peking
University and former World Bank chief economist.
