The leadership of the CPC is the defining feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics, which is enshrined in our country’s Constitution.
This was stated by the spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry Hua Chunying while commenting on the U.S. government’s proposed sanctions on visas of the CPC members and their immediate family members, She said, “ It is the Chinese people’s common belief that “there would be no New China without the CPC.” Thanks to the CPC leadership, the Chinese people have achieved independence, freedom, liberation and steady progress in national development.
The past 99 years saw the number of CPC members growing from over 50 to more than 92 million. The CPC and the Chinese people are inseparable, and the Party always relies on the people, serves the people and is deeply rooted in the people.
That’s why the Chinese people’s support rate with the CPC and the Party-led Chinese government has been above 90 percent for years.
When the United States established diplomatic ties with China over 40 years ago, it knew China is a socialist country led by the CPC, and the China-U.S. relationship is based on the consensus that both sides acknowledge and respect each other’s different social system.
Over the past four decades or so, with the joint efforts made by China, the United States and people in the two countries, China-U.S. relations have achieved huge progress, which has delivered enormous benefits to both peoples and contributed greatly to handling global challenges and safeguarding world peace, stability and development.
However, for some time, some U.S. politicians have been wantonly demonizing China and viciously attacking the CPC in an attempt to drive a wedge between the Party and the Chinese people and cut off our inherent bond.
By hyping up “red scare” and “white horror” in the United States, their true aim is to politicize and weaponize ideological differences and hijack China-U.S. relations and American public opinions in order to serve their selfish agenda.”
The spokesperson hoped they can listen to the views of the Chinese people, especially our lovely young people, on the practice of a very small number of anti-China politicians in United States. “ As proven time and again by facts, every time the U.S. politicians smear China, the Chinese people become more united, patriotic and sincere in endorsing the CPC leadership. The more those politicians do to maliciously attack the CPC and suppress and persecute Party members, to a larger extent they make themselves enemy to all 1.4 billion Chinese.
Their attempt to decouple with the CPC is in fact an act to decouple with China, a country that has one fifth of the world’s population, to decouple with the world, and to decouple with the future.
It is apparently against the trend of the times and against the Chinese and American people’s aspiration of having friendly exchanges. In the end, it will only inevitably, deeply damage the interests of the United States itself. In fact, we are hearing more and more rational voices of criticism and rejection in the United States. Some say the country’s current practice is no other than self-mutilation, “ she added.—INP
