How to view China's development is an important issue for all countries in the world. Occidentalists regard it as a scourge and have been trying to reverse the trend of this era. They even "reflected" and "thought over" and attributed the "responsibility" for China's rise to the "mistakes" of China's policy. These "reflections" are essentially the same as the past "China free-riding theory" and "U.S. rebuilding China theory". They are both the continuation of the "Western-centric theory" and deny the endogenous driving force of China's development and the general trend of the times. It is typical of arrogance and prejudice to regard the West as the source and master of world development.

China's development has never been a "charity" or "gift" from the West, let alone being dominated by the West. The surging endogenous driving force is the fundamental reason for China's development.

China's development is the result of hard work and hard work by the industrious and intelligent Chinese people. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, China has grown from a “poor and white” country to the world’s largest manufacturing country, the largest trade in goods, and the largest foreign exchange reserve country. China now ranks as the world’s second largest economy, accounting for approximately 17% of the global economy. %, a moderately prosperous society has been built in all respects, and more than 1.4 billion Chinese people have completely shaken off absolute poverty. In decades, China has traversed the development process of western developed countries for hundreds of years, and created the dual miracle of rapid economic development and long-term social stability. "It's hard work and hard work."

China's development is on the path of open cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win results. Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China has gone through repeated conceptual changes, rounds of exploration and breakthroughs, and overcoming difficulties one after another. The door of opening up has opened wider and wider, and more and more opportunities have been shared and created with the world. Since joining the World Trade Organization 20 years ago, China’s economy has been highly integrated with the global economy, and China’s development dividend has benefited the world. According to Yi Xiaozhun, the former Deputy Director-General of the World Trade Organization, this is a “classic case of mutual benefit and win-win results”. Today, China is promoting high-quality co-construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, advancing global development initiatives, and its open and inclusive broad-mindedness has won the world's praises, and its unremitting efforts for win-win cooperation benefit the people of all countries. Globally, more and more people of insight realize that China's development is an opportunity, not a challenge.

The more China develops, the greater the resistance and pressure it will encounter, and the more external risks it will face. Today, under the impact of the epidemic in the century, the changes in the past century have accelerated and the world has entered a new period of turbulent change. However, China has a strong core of leadership-the Communist Party of China, a people-centered and responsible government, a hardworking and courageous people, and a profound culture. It is a historical necessity for China to become prosperous and strong. The Communist Party of China and the Chinese people solemnly declare to the world with brave and tenacious struggle that the Chinese nation has ushered in a great leap from standing up, getting rich to becoming strong, and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process! It is neither possible nor wise for anyone, any force, or any country to block China's development process. As the "Financial Times" article said, wanting to completely prevent China's rise is "beyond the limits of Western power."

Former U.S. Secretary of State Kissinger said a few days ago that the first issue the U.S. has to deal with is not to prevent China’s rise, but to explore how to coexist with China in the future. This is a rational call to see the general trend of historical development and conform to the trend of world development. It tells people that working with China to find and expand the intersection of interests and deepen and promote pragmatic cooperation is the right direction for efforts.Editor/XuNing
