The Communist Party of China (CPC) will mark its 100th anniversary on July 1. Committed to improving people’s well-being, achieving national rejuvenation and promoting global peace and development, the CPC has successfully led the Chinese people in the historic transformation of standing up, becoming rich and growing strong, while making pronounced contributions to the development of human society.
The CPC has been guided by a people-centered governance philosophy that mandates serving the people whole-heartedly. It was the CPC which proclaimed the creation of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1949 that liberated the people from the centenary exploitation and oppression in a semi-colonial, semi-feudal country, granting them substantial political rights. Today, the Chinese people have enjoyed greater democratic rights, thanks to the continued political empowerment efforts. Increased economic opportunities have been provided, with 770 million people being lifted out of poverty and GDP per capital exceeding 10,000 USD for two years running, producing the largest middle-income population in the world. Progress has also been made in education, employment, health care and environment protection. The world’s largest social security system covering 1.3 billion people has been in place. Faced with the sudden onset of COVID-19, the CPC launched an unprecedented people’s war against the pandemic, echoing its pledge to put people’s lives before everything else. Trust in government has surged to 95 percent, the highest of all countries, according to recent polls conducted by international agencies.
Born in a war-torn, underdeveloped country, the CPC led the Chinese people in a 28-year relentless struggle against foreign invasion and for national independence. As a result, the PRC was founded in 1949 and the unequal treaties and privileges forced upon China by Western imperialist powers were terminated, thus ushering in a new era of the development of the Chinese nation. It is fair to say it is history and the people that chose the CPC leadership. Following the founding of the PRC, the CPC stepped up national industrialization efforts, putting in place a rather complete industrialization and national economy system. Since 1978 when the reform and opening-up initiative was introduced, CPC has navigated the country towards a miraculous development achievement never seen before in human history. China emerged as the world’s second largest economy, the largest manufacturing powerhouse, the largest trading nation and the largest holder of foreign exchange reserves, besides being a leading player in space exploration, satellite navigation, manned deep-sea research submersible, 5G network, high speed railways, etc. Today, the CPC is pressing ahead with efforts to deepen reforms, enhance rule of law and strengthen Party self-governance. Special priorities are given to preventing and defusing financial risks, targeted poverty alleviation and pollution control. With the 14th five-year plan announced as a blueprint for economic and social development, the CPC is now moving full steam towards building a great modern socialist country.
As a party with an international vision, the CPC has been devoted to championing global peace and development, making due contributions to the progress of humanity. The CPC is committed to protecting world peace and resolving geo-political hot-spot issues. China is the second largest funding contributor to the United Nations and UN peacekeeping operations and the top contributor of peacekeeping personnel among the five permanent UN Security Council members, having sent over 40,000 UN peacekeepers over 30 years. The CPC is dedicated to promoting common development and helping developing countries. China has provided around 400 billion RMB in assistance to 166 countries and international organizations, and dispatched over 600,000 personnel on assistance missions. China actively participates in global governance and safeguards the international system with the UN at its core. Major contributions have been made in global poverty relief, anti-corruption, anti-terrorism, climate change, environment protection, pandemic control and natural disasters. The CPC is pursuing a community with a shared future for mankind. The commitment to building high-quality Belt and Road, including Health, Green and Digital Silk Roads, has injected new impetus to the world economic recovery. The announcement to have CO2 emissions peak before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060, is manifestation of China’s contributions to global climate governance. The pledge to make COVID-19 vaccines a global public good has boosted international anti-pandemic cooperation. Now China has delivered over 350 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines to the world, including to over 80 countries in assistance and to over 40 countries in exports.
Over 100 years, the CPC has grown from a 50-member political organization to one with over 90 million members that lead 1.4 billion people. Certain distinctive elements of CPC’s character hold the key to this success. The CPC is dedicated to achieving national rejuvenation while taking a people-oriented approach to governance and development, thereby forging an intimate bond with the people. It believes in seeking truth from facts and independently looking for ways of development feasible and suited to China. It never ceases to exercise effective self-supervision and strict self-governance with large-scale anti-corruption campaigns. It selects and recruits talented people ready to be devoted to the public good and promotes them based on their performance and popular consent, regardless of their background.
The CPC has established ties with over 600 political parties and organizations in over 160 countries and regions, and its relations with those in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) can be traced back to the 1950s. Over half a century, the increasingly heightened relationship between the two sides have played an important part in strengthening friendship, exchanging governance experience, enhancing economic and trade relations, and deepening people-to-people ties. In December 2015, the China-CELAC Political Parties’ Forum held its first meeting in Beijing, a milestone event that provided a platform for party communication and exchanges.
The CPC wishes to continue to strengthen cooperation with LAC political parties based on the principles of independence, equality, mutual respect and non-interference in each others’ internal affairs, in a bid to enhance party building, advance national development and improve people’s livelihood, as well as promote world peace and development and make greater contributions to building a community with a shared future for mankind.
The CIA suggested in 2003 that should the US find itself in a crisis or confrontation with China in the future, the option of using the “Uyghur card” as a means of exerting pressure should not be taken off the table. Under this strategy, the US, Britain and their allies have directed their intelligence establishments and anti-China scholars to mobilize Uyghur diaspora groups in spinning out misinformation about the so-called severe oppression of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang, which was spread by mainstream Western media in a coordinated manner.
Thanks for more propaganda, Mr. Ambassador
Freedom of speech! Freedom of media! Did you know the media source you trust so much is the source used to manipulate how you establish an opinion they want you to? Watch the video and see for yourself how the BBC reporter John Sudworth made up a false story about Xinjing, not realizing he was followed by Chinese reporters who revealed his tricks. Don’t you feel disgusted to know they use pictures from some sex clubs as proof that Uighur women were sexually abused? What they call a concentration camp is a Google satellite picture taken 5 years ago, and you don’t know if that is Xinjiang.
I hope you could move away from your keyboard a a little bit to actually help those in need, living your pledge to protect DEMOCRACY! How can you call yourself a democratic person when you don’t give a damn about lives at all. Think about unlawful killing of black people by the police. Think about 125 separate incidents of brutal police violence against protesters in 40 states and Washington, D.C., between 26 May and 5 June alone. Think about gun violence, torture of detainees. No person suspected of criminal responsibility had been brought to justice for these crimes.
Like how you play with the word democracy and human rights when you don’t understand what they mean. You like asking questions and I got some funny ones for you. Ask US President why on Independence day he didn’t talk about the 500 years of US history riddled with genocide and massacre in North America, Africa, East Asia and Middle East. Almost 100 million indigenous people in the Western Hemisphere have been killed or died prematurely. Around 12 million indigenous people died within present US geographical boundaries between 1492 and 1900. Not to mention people killed in war with Vietnam, Iran and Iraq. Oh lord, the beacon of democracy! Did those people living on another side of the earth ask to be slaughtered by someone they didn’t even know. If you are not interested in lives being killed, which you obviously aren’t, let’s talk about human rights. Think about the 602,000 American lives claimed by COVID.
It is said, prisoners of conscience in China are being killed, to sell their organs. ( Body parts,)
Why the man is not telling us of the over 2 million Muslims China have a slaves?
Let us not be fooled.China is not guiltless re the virus that killed over two million people.The truth must be told.
I know Dominica and others are being helped by China, but,but… plenty more 2 say
China is an exceptionally Brutal, RACISTS, INHUMAN MILITARY WICKED OUTDATED, Disgusting Disrespectful Shameful Functioning COMMUNISTIC INHUMAN CHINESE Government. Please stay away from this Failed Incompetent Irrelevant Visionless WICKED Brutal CHINESE GOVERNMENT.
This is the worse, most Inhuman Brutalize CHINESE inompetent Country the world has ever seen since the First World War One and Two.
If I was head of a country I would stay away from this Brutal Communist CHINESE Dictatorial INHUMAN MILITARY WICKED COMMUNISTIC Devilish 😈 CHINESE INHUMAN MILITARY WICKED GOVERNMENT. They should and must stay away from our Dominican People. This China Government are too Brutal to alligned themselves to anyone be for fame and committment. We need China to free us up away from their Rotten, INHUMAN COMMUNISTIC Devilish 😈 BRUTAL CHINESE Government.
My people of Dominica, let’s please keep our eyes open of this Inhuman Chinese deplorable Government. Shameful. China relax from this Brutality.
Dominicans please stop selling your land to Chinese people. IF IS MONEY ALL YOU WANT, LEASE THE PROPERTY TO THEM FOR 5,10, 20, 40, 50, 100 YEARS, ALLOW THEM THEN TO DEVELOP IT FOR YOU, BUT NEVER SELL THESE PEOPLE YOUR PROPERTY!!!!! They are buying up all the valuable land and soon they will own all our valuable infrastructure. ports, hospitals etc.
I didn`t bother to read the commentary because it`s the same one they use all the time. It`s really unfortunate that the ambassador chooses to spread lies and propaganda instead of talking about the human rights abuses taking place in China over the last 100 years. The situation in Taiwan and Hong Kong is a classic example of the intolerance of the CPC to freedom of expression and choice in China. Those of us who have relatives studying in China know of the restrictions on communication in an era of Internet. We all know the truth about China and I think more people should speak out. How about a peaceful protest outside the Chinese embassy so they will know that the democratic state of the Commonwealth of Dominica does not support human rights abuses by any country.
Our country needs to to sent these people packing as soon as possible. China is a very aggressive nation that has got any regards for human rights. Typical Skerrit to allow these people a platform in our country.
What this communist party of China have done to it’s people.Speaks so loud,that we cannot hear what this man is saying.
Mao Zedong,the first leader of this political party. Slaughtered millions of Chinese.
Right now the people of China are under heavy manners.The have no right to voice their opinions.They can’t elect their political leaders.Cannot pray to mother Mary asking her to “Pray for us sinners.” Don’t talk about the Lord Jesus. These people are in bondage to a wicked diabolic system.
They killed thousands of young people in Tiananmen Square.Why were they murdered? For protesting against this communist party, they wanted the right to elect a government of their choice.
Everything is relative in degrees as it pertains to atrocities committed in the goal of economic dominance. The model used by The PRC in attaining their economic dominance and the model used by European Countries, The US Canada and Australia included, using history as a reference The PRC has a better record in terms of atrocities, This is not condoning The PRC in their behaviour against Tibet or any other atrocities they have committed against their people.
All the Major Political systems have modified or change over the years and become more sophisticated in their agenda. The PRC Communist Party today is not the same as Mao Zedong, same for Russia they do not follow the Stalin Doctrine, The Capitalism doctrine is not the same it changed after the 2 world war. The end game of all these Political systems is to control their citizens. That is why we must become weaponized with knowledge to live as the creator made us to be, free from the bondage of political systems.
Why all this bashing of The PRC, The peoples Republic of China, most of which is repeated cliché without looking at the history of The PRC, such ignorance. Some are making comments using the vision of a one eye and even blinders, resulting in tunnel vision what makes it sad also, is some are implicating Dominica to satisfy their political partisan beliefs. What the PRC has achieved in the last 50 yrs is somewhat astonishing, that is the context in which I’m looking at. How they got there is another context which involves complex geopolitics, Political shenanigans, hidden forces and Western propaganda, much of which can be debated depending on the political spectrum.
What The PRC has done and archived is the same what most Western countries or most Countries on this planet have set out to do, to attain economic power and military power, the difference is the method used, but the goal is the same. There is also a common factor, their citizens are pawns in the goal.
Gary, you waffling my boy. Bad is bad and good is good. Skerrit is a copy of the communist party of China, his Labour Party is pals with the the regime in Bejing and he defends what they do without questioning it. Why Gary? For his benefit only Gary?Is it only money Gary?
Communism is Not Good Mr. Kung Liar.
The Government kills, they steal and destroy the people.
In Dominica, we have a barrage of Chinese making bakes to survive as examples.. Mr. Kung Liar, don’t try to be as our King Liar. Come again..
Different countries have different problems. But what path the country should choose is decided by her people. It’s truth that many many Chinese people are satisfied with the leadership of CPC，as reported by Harvard University.
Maybe so Mary, however dissenters have no say, let alone representation.
It is hypocrisy for the CPC to talk about promoting well-being, peace, etc. During studies and travel overseas, I was privileged to meet Chinese Christians and hear of their experience and that of their parents who have suffered greatly at the hands of this atheist regime. Take Li, for instance, who represents the 4th generation of Christians in his family. His grandfather and grand uncle were top scientists in post-war China under Mao. But they had to make a choice between Christ and communism. Their choice was faith so it was 25 years of forced labor. For 25 years they were deprived or any reading or writing material. But God is good. When they were released, they still had their faculties about them. They were allowed to teach science in school. The incident shows that the CPC would rather keep their own country back than allow dissidents liberty. Diabolic. His grandmother had to raise eight children on her own. Once again, God is good. Expected to suffer, they survived and thrived.
I am convinced that China’s ultimate goal is that of world domination. A country that does not allow free and fair elections or freedom of expression should not be allowed to export their brand of to government to a democratic world. China’s behaviour is akin to European colonialism or American hegemony. I just might be wrong, but I am of the opinion that China’s motives are not altruistic. It is difficult to fathom how a country that professes to be a God fearing society could cuddle up to China. If anything we should aligned with Korea which has a significant christian population.
Nothing is independently verified in china. What about the Tiananmen Square demonstration? Why are you all so insecure you cannot take criticism? How are you talking about Democracy and communist party in same sentence? Yes the Communist party have done some good for its people and so did pablo Escobar the infamous drug lord from Colombia. China today is involved in historical revisionism. Any story coming from this guy mouth is nothing but propaganda. How many containers of goods have we shopped to China. Dominica and the world does not need a sugar daddy for political party. We need exchange of goods and services that generates revenue which is what gets people out of poverty cycle. Stop stealing other people ideas. As one of the oldest civilizations and a population of over 1 billion you dont need the rest of world to gain wealth. Why did it take yall so long? China is still and imperial country more so today. Your expansion says ot all.
Much respect for Communism, and much,much Respect to China, for letting Communism work for them. While Capitalism continue to impoverished, hundreds of millions have been taken out of poverty in China, a fact never experienced in the annals of Human history. There are no perfect Nations, and China is no exception, their struggle for self-determination, is one that will teach much lessons to small Dominica like Nations. Being afraid of no one, their history have made them strong, strong enough to help others for a PRICE. Today, the World’ Demonizing Exploitative G7, have started the SMEAR of what they intend to do. To the USA and Europe/NATO, China have changed the whole paradigm , and now is the time to back it up. “De Worl is not Black and White no Mor”.
Why don’t you move there instead of just making propaganda for communism. You wouldn’t be there 2 weeks and would be crying foul and bowling like a baby. You have been brainwashed.
Excellent comment, good perspective, yes you are right “De Worl is not Black and White no Mor.”
is this Mr. Luo Songtao disguised as BobD?
No doubt China is strong, why tho? Because they had the good sense to keep Europeans and everybody out of their influential space. Us blacks doing the exact opposite, we letting Chinese, Europeans, Iranians and pretty much anyone with a million to their name come and pull rank in our space.
Why can we not do the same thing the Chinese did? Work in our own best interests, stay in control of our resources and keep these imperialistic powers like China out of our affairs? Why can’t we have leaders who put our land, our people our best interests as priority. If we did, China would not have the audacity to post an article like this on our major news platform.
Instead, we see Chinese taking over black countries. Just last week we saw a Chinese man attack an African (in Africa), infront of a crew of AFRICANS – Do you think a black person could ever be so comfortable to do something like that in China? We just don’t seem to get how…
The Chinese abuse, incarceration, and torture of the Uighur population is genocide and the crushing of democracy and imprisonment of opposition voices in Hong Kong is a staggering abuse of human rights. China should be condemned by every country in the world and crippling sanctions should be implemented until the situation is reversed. Taiwan has the right to self-determination and the One China policy should be rejected outright. The Chinese Communist Party is comparable to the German National Socialists of the 20th century.
the world doesn’t care because we still buy Chinese made products, until that stops China will continue to do what they want…
More propaganda by these human rights defying invaders, sanctioned by DNO and that rogue PM. Wake up.
HOGWASH, LIES, GARBAGE. the majority of the major points in this writing MUST be read and understood in reverse. He exclaims the virtues and development of the ccp, and most of these are not true. If they have such an outstanding democracy, why can’t their citizens vote for the leaders they want? He extols 100 years of party leadership, while in reality it’s been 100 years of killing their own people, and making the segment of their population that is non Han chinese suffer. He talks about peace with other countries, yet just last year they attempted to usurp some of India’s border lands, and are currently stealing land in Bhutan. They are currently in turmoil with most of the countries that border the South China Sea. This ccp is like the scorpion who got a ride on the back of another animal that helped it to cross a river, yet, after telling the animal it would not sting it, in the middle of the crossing the scorpion stung the animal, and then claimed it is it’s nature to sting.
Lou Songtao, we welcome your Commentary and thoughts but we Don’t and CANNOT condone not appreciate the Brutality and independence of CHINESE People. This is Satanic Brutal Inhuman and against the Fundamental RIGHTS of your CHINESE Families and People of China. These people are CHINESE and are openly part of the Development and SAY of the management and Functioning of the governance of their loved Beautiful China.
This Brutal Communist CHINESE Dictatorial INHUMAN MILITARY Outdated CHINESE Government must get the Hell Out of the “PEOPLE’S” country and their Well deserved HUMAN CHINESE RIGHTS.
This Fake CHINESE Government must get rid of their Failed incompetent Government and raise your people to one of Decency and Obvious independence. Let your CHINESE Families and People be independent to Love and Appreciate their Country China and people. Therefore, this Fake Brutal Chinese Government must wake-up and apply the UNITED NATION’S HUMAN RIGHTS Protocol. China is Brutal & inhuman…
More chinese rhetoric DNO? It’s like you guys not even hiding the fact that they taking over our island! What’s next? You gonna start pitching a chinese pm candidate on us?
Why do these people have more rights than us? We could never get this kind of Dominica culture based rhetoric in the top media platforms in China, but they can get it in ours. Which means that DNO and all the other platforms allowing this are by default complicit in giving them more rights than us! Afro infrastructure is always complicit in allowing non-blacks to have infrastructural advantages in black countries.
This is Dominica, a country with a majority black population, this kind of rhetoric has no place in our land. Why are you guys helping to enable Chinese imperialism? Why are you imposing chinese propaganda on us? Where is our spirit of self priority?
Because they are all hungry and greedy. They have sold their own soul, so Dominica is a joke to sell.
With millions of deaths and starving citizens during the Mao revolution
and still, a dictatorship today
Hong Kong might disagree along with Taiwan.
Nice propaganda.. more like 100 years of misery and suffering. Repeat after me:
Communism. Is. No. Good.
As a born again believer, I wonder how many Christians they killed for their faith during their 100 years? I wish Evangelist Peter R Augustine could find out for us since they all now embrace the China we use to preach against for their treatment of Christianity
The Chinese government officials truly think that all Dominicans are inane. China is one of the world’s worst human rights abusers second only to North Korea. Just look at what they are doing to Hong Kong. It’s egregious that the highest ranking official of the Chinese embassy in Dominica is given carte blanche permission to propagate his misinformation, half-truths and blatant lies on this well read news site.
China tolerates no opposition. Jail or execution before a firing squad for speaking out against this oppressive regime. Forced labor, torture, wrongful arrests, religious persecution are all common human rights violations in this agnostic country.
How can DNO publish this article from this Chinese official verbatim without challenging the authenticity of the subject matter?
The Dominican media and journalists are an intellectually lazy set. They just add to the growing decadence in the county.
ADMIN: Bear in mind this is a commentary not a news article, our platform is still open to virtually all views. Feel free to challenge the statements made here or submit a commentary of your own.
Without human rights and freedom there are no achievements. The communist party of China runs the most repressive government on earth and they are trying to spread this authoritarian form of government across the world. Maybe the ambassador should write about the genocide being carried out against the Uyghurs right at this moment. The communist party of China is a disgrace to humanity and we should not allow them to feel welcome on our beautiful shores.
How can you call yourself a democratic country if you do not allow an opposition, dissenting views, freedom of expression and free press but must praise everything Xi does and says as if he is a God. China will never reach its full potential if its people are not allowed free thought. It is a powerful country yes but that is no substitute for individual freedom and rights and I do not believe I would be allowed to express this in public if I lived there.
