JUAN CARLOS CAPUNAY
China's New Development Philosophy

The achievements made by China during the last 100 years are the result of the efforts of several generations of Chinese people under the leadership of the CPC, which has tasked itself with the mission to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation since its birth.

It is worth mentioning that ever since its first national congress that was held in July 1921, the actions and purposes of the CPC have been linked to the progress of the great nation. The CPC leadership have been the central vector of the political and economic changes that China has experienced since the inception of the People’s Republic and also been responsible for making it today the second largest economic power in the world. Among those deeds and feats accomplished by the CPC, the elimination of extreme poverty and the pursuit of better wellbeing for its population should be highlighted.

China now is seeing a more balanced development in its rural and urban areas. The country pays more attention to meeting the ever-growing economic, political, cultural, social, and ecological needs of its people, and promoting well-rounded human development and all-round social progress. While having eradicated extreme poverty, the country has also greatly improved the consumption level of its population, making it the largest consumer market for goods and services in the world. Its middle class of almost 400 million people has become the largest tourist source for the international tourism industry. These are among the greatest achievements made by the CPC while marking its centenary.
