Decoding secrets to CPC's enduring success, vitality

On July 1, a gathering in celebration of the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, conferred the July 1 Medal, the Party's highest honor, on model CPC members, and delivered an important speech, drawing widespread attention from the international community.

International observers spoke highly of the extraordinary economic and social strides the Chinese people have made under the CPC's leadership over the past 105 years, alongside the Party's substantial contributions to global peace and development.

They widely acknowledged that the 105th anniversary of the CPC marked a milestone of far-reaching significance, recognizing the Party's pivotal role in China's development and modernization drive.

They believe the CPC's remarkable accomplishments have sparked constructive deliberations across the Global South on national development and governance models.

Xi stressed that over the past 105 years, the CPC has united and led all the Chinese people in a tireless struggle, achieving great successes in the new-democratic revolution, in socialist revolution and construction, and in reform, opening-up and socialist modernization, and socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. He hailed the 105-year history of the CPC as the "most magnificent epic" of the Chinese nation.

He said the Party's endeavors over the past 105 years have fundamentally transformed the future of the Chinese people, blazed the right path toward the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, demonstrated the strong vitality of Marxism, had a profound influence on the course of world history, and made the CPC a powerful Communist Party.

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic extended warm congratulations on the CPC's 105th anniversary and noted that under the CPC's leadership, China has achieved remarkable and widely admired progress across economic and other fields. He added that the perseverance and resilience demonstrated by the CPC and the Chinese people have brought hope to all those committed to peace, development and multilateralism.

The CPC is dedicated to pursuing happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. It is also dedicated to human progress and world harmony. The Party's global vision and commitment to the well-being of humanity stem from its progressive nature and have been an inseparable part of its identity since its founding.

Over the past more than a century, the CPC has always stood on the right side of history and on the side of human progress. It has profoundly altered the trends and landscape of world development through its unremitting efforts in self-improvement.

The Party has led the people in pioneering a uniquely Chinese path to modernization, creating a new model for human advancement, and expanding the channels for developing countries to achieve modernization.

It has promoted the development of a community with a shared future for humanity, and offered Chinese wisdom, Chinese solutions, and Chinese strength for addressing major issues facing humanity.

The socialist China under the leadership of the CPC is widely recognized as the defender of world peace, contributor to global development and upholder of international order.

Today, the CPC has grown into the world's largest governing party with tremendous global influence. The international community is increasingly seeking to understand an important question: why and how does the CPC work in China?

Xi has profoundly identified the distinctive qualities that have enabled the CPC to achieve enduring success: remaining committed to seeking truth and always adhering to the right direction; remaining deeply rooted in the people and always boasting a solid foundation; courageously rising to its historic missions and always maintaining the strategic initiative; following the trend of development and always remaining at the forefront of the times; having the courage and ability to fight, unwavering confidence in victory, and commitment to continuous self-improvement.

These qualities, unmatched by any other political party or political force, hold the key to understanding why and how the CPC works in China. They reveal to the world the deeper logic behind the principle that "China's success hinges on the Party."

The guidance from Marxism is a defining political character and a powerful political advantage of the CPC. On the occasion of the Party's 105th anniversary, the CPC Central Committee formally set out Xi Jinping Thought on Party Building, which marks a new height in the century-old Party's understanding of the laws governing the development of a long-term governing Marxist party. This carries major and far-reaching significance for enriching and developing Marxism in contemporary China and the 21st century.

On the new journey ahead, under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Party Building, the CPC will further demonstrate its distinctive strengths, remain confident, continue striving, and achieve new accomplishments worthy of the times and the people's expectations, thus injecting an inexhaustible source of powerful momentum into the building of a strong country, the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the progress of human civilization.

A hundred years on from its founding, the CPC is still in its prime. Under the strong leadership of the CPC, China will continue to hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit, promote the common values of humanity, advance the building of a new type of international relations, and implement the four global initiatives. China stands ready to work with other countries to build a community with a shared future for humanity and create a brighter future for all mankind.
