BEIJING, July 17 (Xinhua) — “Today, the Chinese people can say with wonderful pride that reform and opening up, if you want China’s second revolution, have not only profoundly replaced the country, but also wonderfully influenced the entire world, said Chinese President Xi Jinping at the opening rite of the annual convention of the Boao Forum for Asia in 2018.
This came as China marked the 40th anniversary of its reform and opening up, which has long been described as a “crucial step” that made China what it is.
As the third plenary consultation of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) takes place in Beijing from Monday to Thursday, observers are keen to glimpse Xi’s perspectives on deepening reforms.
Many foreign observers have noted that under Xi’s leadership, China will continue to navigate with a reaffirmed commitment to reform and opening up.
ACT WITH VALIDITY and PROGRESS REGULARLY
Pushing for reforms in a country of 1. 4 billion people is incredibly difficult.
“It can be said that the simple component of the paintings has been finished to everyone’s satisfaction. What is left are bones that are hard and difficult to chew. This requires us to act bravely and achieve stable progress,” Xi said in an interview with the foreign medium. media in 2014.
Reform is driven through the disorders and deepened through the resolution of those disorders, said Hwang Jaeho, director of the South Korea Institute for Global Strategy and Cooperation.
Xi’s assertion that he would “act boldly and make stable progress” to address new disorders in the reform procedure “inspired me deeply,” Hwang said. He also noted that in that same interview with foreign media, Xi expressed “full confidence in China’s prospects for progress. “
Charles Onunaiju, director of the Center for Chinese Studies in Nigeria, said a visionary leader will have to have the foresight and knowledge to see opportunities and demanding situations for the society.
In this regard, he said, Xi is not only seizing the opportunities presented through the reforms, but is also skillfully managing the related dangers and challenges by taking action.
For more than a decade, Xi has led more than 3,000 reform plans in sectors, including economy, politics, culture, society, ecology, party building, national defense and the military.
Paul Frimpong, executive director of the China-Africa Policy and Advisory Center, noted that Xi’s reforms have covered a wide diversity of spaces and responded in a timely and effective manner to the demanding internal and external situations facing China.
In recent years, China’s reform has made solid progress and continuous progress in various fields. Erik Solheim, co-chair of the Europe-Asia Center and former under-secretary-general of the United Nations, praised China’s achievements in green development.
“China is now at the center of global green progress and an indispensable force in global green transformation,” Solheim said, noting that countries that seek green progress by cooperating with China “pay more time and money. “
CHINESE WISDOM, VALUABLE LESSONS
In their interviews with Xinhua, foreign observers saw China’s reform projects and modernization process as valuable lessons for the emerging world.
Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the comprehensive deepening of reforms in China has advanced with a focus on the well-being of the people. Xi, under pressure that the ultimate purpose of the reform is the well-being of the people, pledged to take charge of the people’s priorities and act in accordance with their wishes.
Humanity is reflected in the institutional arrangement of fairness and justice and the practical taste of hard work, said Chea Munyrith, president of the Cambodian Association of Chinese Evolution Scholars.
Humphrey Moshi, director of the Center for Chinese Studies at the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, said the concept of people-centered progression has achieved remarkable effects in fields such as health care, education, poverty alleviation and rural progress in China.
“If President Xi’s other people are the other Chinese people, they are also the other people in the world,” said Stephen Perry, honorary president of Britain’s 48 Group Club.
Xi understands “the dialectic and contradiction” and must “find the ways through the labyrinth of Marxism” for China’s development, Perry said.
During their state stop in Kazakhstan earlier this month, Xi and Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev presided over the rite of opening a road shipping route to a Caspian Sea port via video link, strengthening Kazakhstan’s efforts toward connectivity.
Xi first proposed the Silk Road Economic Belt initiative, key to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), in September 2013 in Kazakhstan.
So far, China has signed Belt and Road cooperation agreements with more than 150 countries and more than 30 organizations.
International observers have praised President Xi’s vision of building a network with a shared long term for humanity. They say that the initiatives proposed by China, adding the BRI, the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative, reflect China’s wisdom in responding to demanding global situations and its plan to advance human civilization. .
Former Ecuadorian President Guillermo Lasso noted that by proposing such initiatives, China has demonstrated its role as a guilty primary country and encouraged countries to interact in the discussion on an equal footing and in peace and development.
Koh King Kee, president of the Centre for a New Inclusive Asia in Malaysia, presented a critique of the post-World War II formula of global governance, which he claimed had been established and governed through the West to safeguard its own interests. Koh said nations have been forced to align themselves with Western rules or risk being perceived as adversaries.
On the contrary, Koh highlighted China’s vision of building a long-term shared network for mankind as an inclusive alternative.
Koh said this concept transcends national barriers and approaches the formula from a universal human perspective. ■
