This year marks the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC). On the morning of July 1st, a grand gathering marking the 105th anniversary of the founding of the CPC was held in Beijing, where General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech which comprehensively reviews and summarizes the glorious course and the great achievements of the CPC over the past 105 years in uniting and leading the Chinese people of all ethnic groups. It profoundly reveals the outstanding qualities and key secrets that have enabled the CPC to continuously forge brilliance. It sets forth clear requirements for all CPC members to strengthen their confidence and continue their unremitting efforts, and issues a great call to the entire Party to strive with all their might to create new historical glories. At present, all CPC members and the Chinese people are thoroughly studying and implementing the guiding principles of the speech, firmly heeding the great call of General Secretary Xi Jinping and the CPC Central Committee, forging ahead on a new journey, making contributions in the new era, and striving unremittingly to build China into a great modern socialist country in all respects and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

It has united and led the Chinese people in accomplishing the great leap from standing up and growing prosperous to becoming strong. China’s GDP has surged from 67.9 billion yuan in 1952 to 140.2 trillion yuan in 2025, marking a historic leap: from extreme poverty to a per capita income of 13,400 US dollars, with its manufacturing value-added accounting for nearly 30% of the global total and its overall national strength rising to the forefront of the world. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC in 2012, General Secretary Xi Jinping has led the entire Party, the military, and the Chinese people of all ethnic groups to write a new chapter of the two miracles of........
