in building a moderately well-off society.
In the face of the complicated international situation
and formidable domestic issues related to advancing reforms
and development while maintaining stability,
particularly under the grave impact of the COVID-19 pandemic,
the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC)
with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core,
has stayed true to the CPC’s original aspiration
and kept the Party’s missions firmly in mind.
It has united and led the entire Party
and the Chinese people of all ethnic groups to pioneer and forge ahead,
and worked hard to advance various undertakings of the Party and the country.
China has made major breakthroughs in deepening reforms in all areas,
made substantial progress in law-based governance in all respects,
and has achieved remarkable results in ensuring full
and strict governance over the Party.
China’s system
and capacity for governance have been modernized at an accelerated pace.
These achievements comprehensively demonstrate the strong leadership
of the CPC and the institutional strengths of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
