In unveiling his new leadership team on Sunday, Xi Jinping also laid out his ambitions for China and reiterated his signature goal for the “rejuvenation of the Chinese nation” – often called the “Chinese dream”.
“On the road ahead, no matter strong winds, rough waters or even dangerous storms, people will always be our strongest support and our greatest trust,” he said – adding, “The world today faces unprecedented challenges.”
In past decades, when addressing the China Party Congress, previous leaders emphasized how China was in a “period of important strategic opportunity”, indicating that the country was stable and the focus should be on economic growth. But this year, Xi chose not to use that phrase.
A combative China
The international correspondent of CNN Selina Wang, said Xi’s message reflects her approach – to face things on the “foot of war”.
“It’s about fighting, it’s about fighting these dangerous storms ahead,” he added – which include domestic difficulties such as the economic slowdown and ongoing Covid-19 lockdowns, and international tensions as China takes a stand. assertive on the world stage.
“On the foreign policy front, in Xi’s third term and beyond, we should expect to see a more aggressive China. Increasingly, the frame of state media and propaganda is that the West and America are trying to contain China,” Wang said.
“So now the focus is that China needs to stay strong against this external force that seeks to undermine China.”
