"China" is inscribed at the bottom of the "He Zun", and even more deeply engraved in the hearts of every Chinese descendant.
On the evening of December 31, 2024, at the moment of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, President Xi Jinping delivered his 2025 New Year greetings. In the more than 1,000-word New Year greetings, the word "China" is deeply engraved. "China's bowls are filled with more Chinese grain", "The beautiful Chinese scroll is slowly unfolding", "The Chinese people's heroic aspiration to pursue their dreams in the sea of stars", "Chinese modernization will surely open up broader prospects in reform and opening up"...
Standing at a new time node, how will China look back on the past, summarize the present and look forward to the future? President Xi Jinping's New Year greetings, as promised, carry the answer of a great power.
China is the China that has come from a civilization of more than 5,000 years.
In the New Year greetings, President Xi Jinping mentioned the He Zun, which is of profound significance. In September 2024, when President Xi Jinping visited the Baoji Bronze Ware Museum in Shaanxi, he stood in front of the He Zun and meditated for a long time.
The inscription on the He Zun has the words "Zhai Zi Zhong Guo", which has become the earliest written record of the word "China" so far. After thousands of years, the word "China" has become a civilized mark of reforming the old and bringing forth the new, and contains the source of cultural confidence.
In the past year, President Xi Jinping's cultural footprints have spread all over the country, strolling along the ancient cultural street in Tianjin, entering the Fuxi Temple and Maijishan Grottoes in Tianshui, Gansu, inspecting the Six-foot Lane in Tongcheng, Anhui, and visiting the exhibition of unearthed Qin and Han bamboo slips in Yunmeng County, Hubei...
Knowing where we come from and thinking about where we are going, we can understand where we should go. President Xi Jinping earnestly instructed, "Pass down the excellent traditional Chinese culture from generation to generation."
China is the China that is striding forward bravely on the path of Chinese modernization.
At present, China is at a critical stage of accelerating the pace of transformation and upgrading and striving to promote high-quality development. In the crucial year of 2024, what kind of report card did China hand in?
At the New Year tea party of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference on December 31, 2024, President Xi Jinping summarized: "Over the past year, in the face of challenges brought by domestic and international situations, we have responded calmly and taken comprehensive measures, successfully completed the main goals and tasks of economic and social development for the whole year, and Chinese modernization has taken new and solid steps."
In the New Year greetings, President Xi Jinping mentioned a number of data - "The gross domestic product is expected to exceed 130 trillion yuan", "The grain output has exceeded 1.4 trillion jin", "The annual output of new energy vehicles has exceeded 10 million for the first time"...
From regional development to new urbanization and rural revitalization, from green and low-carbon development to fostering new quality productive forces according to local conditions... China has launched a series of policy "combination punches" to solidly promote high-quality development.
From Change-6 to Mengxiang, from the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link to the Antarctic Qinling Station, the Chinese people's journey has continued to expand. As President Xi Jinping said, "It shows the Chinese people's heroic aspiration to pursue their dreams in the sea of stars."
China is the China that is opening up broader prospects.
In President Xi Jinping's New Year greetings over the years, confidence has always been an important keyword.
Confidence comes from solid measures and the grasp of the current situation. In 2024, the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee made systematic arrangements for further comprehensively deepening reform and promoting Chinese modernization, and proposed to complete more than 300 important reform measures within five years, laying a solid foundation for future development.
In the New Year greetings, President Xi Jinping pointed out: "We are striding forward with the tide of the times of reform and opening up, and Chinese modernization will surely open up broader prospects in reform and opening up."
In 2025, China will also fully complete the 14th Five-Year Plan. The Central Economic Work Conference not long ago pointed out that in 2025, "more proactive macro policies should be implemented to expand domestic demand", and put forward nine key tasks to be grasped, which is considered by the outside world to "demonstrate China's determination to stabilize growth".
At present, the economic operation is facing some new situations, including the challenges of the uncertainty of the external environment and the pressure of the conversion of old and new kinetic energy, but President Xi Jinping believes that "these can be overcome through efforts".
At the arrival of 2025, he once again emphasized: "We have always grown up in the baptism of wind and rain and become stronger through trials and tribulations. Everyone should be full of confidence."（Outlook New Era）
