The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) has ushered in a new era.
Perhaps one of the greatest legacies could be a greater consensus on confidence in China’s path, finding solutions to problems domestic and international.
Xi Jinping is, as general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, pushing for an innovative shift in the growth model, a new concept for eco-civilization, a new strategy for a strong military, a new approach to keep the Party clean, a new vision in seeking global governance, and new arrangements for China’s future. In short, he has drawn an ambitious blueprint for the Party and the people.
The world is watching for the real impact of this congress. The lines of the report are still being read between, and policies will be further tested in future implementation. Xi's “China Dream” slogan now has comprehensive content with specific thought, path, targets, and timetable.
China is entering a new stage of global influence. The questions remain: What kind of China will emerge? And how much impact will it have on the world? The answers will keep unfolding.
