Development is the hard truth. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Achieve modernization is the right and inevitable choice of people of all countries in the world. The key is to find a development path that conforms to national conditions and the laws of human social development." In the past period, some "global southern" countries have completely copied the Western model. As a result, most of them fell into the dilemma of long-term economic stagnation and social and political turmoil. Today, the successful practice of Chinese-style modernization and the great achievements have enabled the "Global South" countries to see new hope and new choices. China's development philosophy shows distinct contemporary, scientific and practical nature, follows the laws of human social development, conforms to the current development trend of the times, and provides useful reference and reference for countries around the world to achieve modernization.

Adhere to the people-centered approach

President Xi Jinping pointed out: "Development is the key to achieving people's happiness." Adhering to the people-centered approach is an essential requirement of China's development. Marxism believes that material productivity is the material prerequisite for all social life. In more than a hundred years of struggle, the Communist Party of China has always firmly grasped the main line of development, fully understood the arduousness, tortuousness and long-term nature of the development task, and united and led the Chinese people to achieve poverty alleviation with a firm attitude and strong sense of action. The transformation from the weak to the establishment of an independent and complete industrial system has completed the leap from the people's miserable life to the comprehensive building of a moderately prosperous society. Through development, we have embarked on the path of Chinese-style modernization and embarked on a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country.

Development is the foundation. If the economy does not develop, nothing can be said. Improving people's livelihood is the fundamental purpose of development, and the people's happy life is the greatest human right. The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core adheres to the people-centered development concept and makes the people's sense of gain, happiness and security more fulfilling, more secure and more sustainable in the development. China has achieved all 800 million poor people lifted out of poverty, completed the poverty reduction goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development ahead of schedule, "making important contributions to achieving the better and prosperous world portrayed by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development." China’s great practice of poverty alleviation in the new era deeply interprets the people-centered development concept and vividly demonstrates that development is an effective way to eliminate poverty and is also a fundamental way to protect the people’s basic rights.

Facts have proved that the people-centered development concept can stand the test of history. President Xi Jinping proposed the Global Development Initiative, calling for development to be placed in a prominent position in the global macro-policy framework, promoting the multilateral development cooperation process, advocating the protection and improvement of people's livelihood, protecting and promoting human rights in development, and reaffirming the necessity and importance of development. It is an important experience shared by China with the international community and will help promote the international community to refocus on development issues and gather resources to solve development issues. The Global Development Initiative aims to accelerate the implementation of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and is committed to building a solid, equal, balanced and inclusive global development partnership, and jointly creating a balanced, coordinated and inclusive development, win-win cooperation and common prosperity. pattern, promote the building of a community with a shared future for global development.

Adhere to the practice of common values ​​of all mankind

At present, the changes in the world, the changes in the times, and the changes in history are unfolding in unprecedented ways. The "Clash of Civilization Theory" and "Civilization Superiority Theory" have emerged, exacerbating the barriers between different civilizations and seriously hindering the exchanges and cooperation of the international community. The Cold War mentality of some countries in demarcating boundaries through ideological demarcation and engaging in camp confrontation, and the practice of dividing enemies and forming gangs in the name of "values" have brought huge shadows to world peace and development, prosperity and progress. The world once again stands at the crossroads of history. From a deeper perspective, the root of the problem is serious imbalance in development, no guarantee of peace, and fairness and justice cannot be effectively maintained. In September 2015, President Xi Jinping first proposed that "peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom are the common values ​​of all mankind" when attending the general debate of the 70th United Nations General Assembly and delivering an important speech. He then repeatedly said that The common values ​​of all mankind are profoundly explained. To truly achieve inclusive growth and sustainable development, we must get rid of ideological prejudice, abandon Cold War thinking and zero-sum thinking, and truly achieve mutual respect and common development on the basis of exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations.

Every civilization is rooted in its own survival soil and embodies the extraordinary wisdom and spiritual pursuit of a country and a nation. The diversity of civilization is the basic feature of the world and the source of human progress. There are differences in civilizations. Each one has its own beauty and shares beauty, rather than being the only one, it is the inherent meaning of the rich and colorful human civilization. From the perspective of commonality of civilization, peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom reflect the greatest common divisor of value concepts generally recognized by people of all countries in the world. The common values ​​of all mankind have condensed the value consensus of different civilizations of mankind, transcend differences in ideology, social systems and development levels, and have effectively responded to the general expectations and common demands of people of all countries. These elements are closely linked and complement each other, forming a lofty realm pursued by civilizations for exchanges and mutual learning.

To achieve peaceful development, we must have an open, inclusive and eclectic mind. Chinese civilization has long been peacefully exchanged and learned from other civilizations in the world. Zhang Qian went on a mission to the Western Regions, opening up the Silk Road, opening the door to exchanges between China and the outside world; Xuanzang went to the Buddhist scriptures in India, realizing the spread of ancient Indian Buddhist scriptures in China; Jianzhen traveled to Japan to spread the advanced culture of the Tang Dynasty To Japan; Zheng He voyages to the West seven times, promoting the integration of trade between China and the West and cultural exchanges. The Silk Road is a typical example of exchanges, mutual learning and harmony among civilizations. The desert is long and the sound of camel bells not only spreads silk, porcelain and tea art, but also greatly promotes cultural exchanges among peoples of all countries along the route. In the eyes of Chinese philosophers, everything has its merits. We must learn with a humble attitude and enrich ourselves. "Chu Ci" says: "There is a shortness of the ruler, and the shortness of the inch has a strength." Confucius said: "When three people walk, I must have my teacher." In the long history of thousands of years, Chinese civilization and other civilizations have converged and integrated, and developed innovated. Promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations is an important foundation for different countries and ethnic groups to enhance understanding, build mutual trust, build friendship and strengthen cooperation.

Adhere to promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind

President Xi Jinping pointed out: "Development is the top priority and applies to all countries." Development is the right of all countries in the world, not the patent of a few countries. On the road of human beings' pursuit of happiness, no country or nation can be left behind. With the deepening development of economic globalization, mankind has become an increasingly common community of shared future where you have me and I have you. No country can meet the various challenges faced by mankind alone, and no country can retreat to a self-closed island. It must uphold the spirit of "harmony between the two sides", adhere to consultation, joint construction and sharing, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

The core of discussing, co-constructing and sharing is "common". This requires all members of the international community to respect each other, negotiate equally, seek security and promote development together. President Xi Jinping put forward the Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative and Global Civilization Initiative to jointly build the "Belt and Road" with high quality, adapt to the demands of all countries, especially the "Global South" countries, and work together for the international community to build a lasting peace, universal security and common prosperity. , an open, inclusive, clean and beautiful world pointed out the direction.

President Xi Jinping stressed: "We must promote economic globalization to release more positive effects and enter a new stage of more dynamic, inclusive and sustainable development." China is committed to promoting inclusive and inclusive economic globalization to better benefit different countries. , different groups. The Global Development Initiative focuses on development priority, promotes global development to a new stage of balanced, coordinated and inclusiveness, and jointly builds a solid, equal, balanced and inclusive global development partnership.

China continues to build international consensus on development and create an international environment conducive to development. First, strengthen the international community's attention to development issues through heads of state diplomacy. President Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of development on many major diplomatic occasions such as multilateral and bilateralism and promoted the implementation of the global development initiative. Second, the Chinese government has promoted the international community to focus on development issues through various channels. China has issued the "China United Nations Cooperation Position Document" and "Global Development Report", which expounded the goals, concepts, actions and positions and views on the global development initiatives, and put forward policy suggestions for jointly building a community with a shared future for global development. The third is to carry out institutionalized experience exchanges. For example, hold a global shared development action forum to share development experience under the framework of the forum. Fourth, we will implement the concept of common development in action. China is not only an advocate of global development, but also an activist in promoting development. China continues to increase its resource investment and promotes the implementation of the initiative. For example, China has integrated and upgraded the South-South Cooperation Assistance Fund to the "Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund", increased investment in the China-United Nations Peace and Development Fund, and established a Global Development Promotion Center.

"The tide is flat and the two sides are wide, and the wind is right and the sails are hanging." President Xi Jinping stood at the forefront of the times, grasped the pulse of the times, and put forward the global development initiative, global security initiative and global civilization initiative, which shows that when the world once again stands at the crossroads of history, The Chinese Communists have a clear position and mission. China's development philosophy comes from the exploration of the path of Chinese-style modernization, fully demonstrates the broad practice of Chinese-style modernization, and also provides reference for vigorously promoting global common development. Only by abandoning the zero-sum thinking of you losing and losing, fully respecting the development path that conforms to the national conditions of all countries, and committed to promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind can we truly build a better world.
