  • Socialism with Chinese characteristics with global vision and a sense of humanity

    Socialism with Chinese characteristics with global vision and a sense of humanity

     

    By Zhong Sheng

    As China celebrates the 70th anniversary of its founding, and global observers are casting their eyes towards the east and seeking the codes to China’s development miracle which is unseen in human history, a white paper recently issued by the country’s State Council Information Office stated how China made such success possible.

    The white paper, titled China and the World in the New Era, says that the ultimate reason for China’s success achieved in the past 70 years is that China has found and will continue on the right path – socialism with Chinese characteristics.

    The choice of path is critical to the successful development of a country. By closely combining Marxism and reality of China, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has built a wide path, the socialism with Chinese characteristics that helped the country achieve prosperity and helped the people achieve happiness.
    The wide path, achieving magnificent results, will be forever recorded by the history of human progress for its distinctive Chinese characteristics, broad and farsighted global vision and care for humanity.

    This path has helped China, a populous country, provide adequate food and clothing for its people, making the brightest chapter in the history of global poverty reduction.

    In the early days of the People’s Republic of China, following a century of war and chaos, the country and the people were in dire poverty. However, the country today is moving towards a moderately prosperous society in all respects.
    During the past 40 years of reform and opening-up, over 700 million people were lifted out of poverty, accounting for 70 percent of the world’s total. It is a miracle in the human history of poverty reduction.

    Providing adequate food and clothing for the people is a basic issue of global peace and development. Therefore, China’s huge poverty alleviation efforts help not only itself.

    Peter Nolan, professor from the University of Cambridge, believes that the development path explored by China will promote global sustainable development. Many leaders of developing countries also noted that they would learn from China’s experiences.
    This path has helped China promote innovative solutions in global governance as the country is injecting powerful energy into the peaceful development of the world.
    China adopts independent foreign policy of peace, and actively promotes the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence (mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence) to be the basic norm of international relations and basic principle of the international law.
    It is playing an important role in building a fair and equitable international political and economic order, contributing ideas and plans to safeguarding world peace and promoting common development.
    In the new era, China is promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind and a new type of international relations, and has offered the Belt and Road Initiative.

    Getting closer to the center of the world stage, China has become an important power to protect international justice and the international system with UN at its core.

    Chairman of the Kuhn Foundation Robert Kuhn noted that China, by actively engaging in global governance, is a defender of world stability, equality and prosperity.

    This path, which suits China’s reality and requirements of the times, has shown developing countries a new choice of modernization through China’s successful practices.
    China’s practices explained that western systems and models are not the only solution to a country’s governance and modernization, and every country can explore their own path.

    Rather than copying the development mode of western countries, China has built its own path by learning from past experiences and human civilization according to its reality.
    American scholar Arif Dirlik noted that the value of the socialism with Chinese characteristics lies not only in its importance to global economy, but also the alternative path it has offered for developing countries.
    China’s progress in the past 70 years proved that no country can achieve prosperity by asking for assistance and waiting, and only striving leads to a bright future. The socialism with Chinese characteristics relies on its solid and unremitting efforts, the fulfillment of its own responsibility and its pioneering spirit.

    In the new era, China will maintain its original aspiration with confidence, and join hands with global countries to achieve common development and win-win cooperation.

  • White paper released on China and the world in the new era

    White paper released on China and the world in the new era

    By Zhong Sheng

    The State Council Information Office of China published a white paper titled “China and the World in the New Era” on Sept. 27, introducing China’s development achievements, paths and trend concerned by the world in a systematic manner.
    By expounding the relationship between China and the world, the white paper guides people to view China from a broader perspective and to better understand China’s interaction with the world.
    The white paper points out that China is a member of the world, and China’s development is closely related to the rest of the world. Over the past 70 years, the country has stood up, grown rich and is becoming strong. Every achievement it has made justified its path of independent development, and drew closer its relationship with the world.
    China has become the world’s second largest economy, largest manufacturer, largest trader in goods, and second largest consumer of commodities, which indicates China’s importance in the changing global pattern.

    How to perceive China’s path, understand China’s development trend and conduct positive interaction with China has become an important topic of the international society.

    To understand that China is a member of the world, one should see that the country has injected positive energy to global peace and development. The country sticks to independent foreign policy of peace, and follows the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence (mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence).

    Over the past 70 years, China has not provoked a single war or conflict, nor invaded a single square of foreign land. China has cut the size of its armed forces and taken active part in UN peacemaking operations, consistently serving as a power of peace.

    In pursuit of domestic construction and reform, the country is further expanding opening-up and seeking common development. Opening even wider to the world in the new era, China is making the cake of global development larger and larger.

    To understand that China is a member of the world, one should also see that China’s development is bringing opportunities to the world. China’s GDP accounts for nearly 16 percent of the world’s total, contributing nearly 30 percent to the global economic growth. The country’s development with higher quality will create better opportunities for the world.

    According to a McKinsey Global Institute report, by 2040, the integration between China and the rest of the world is expected to drive economic value of $22 trillion to $37 trillion, equivalent to 15 to 26 percent of global GDP. Strengthened cooperation between China and other countries will create enormous economic value.

    To understand that China is a member of the world, it’s important to see that the Chinese Dream shares similar aspiration with the world. Dreaming of prosperity and rejuvenation for their country, and happiness for the people, the Chinese will contribute more energy to the building of a better world.

    The world is undergoing profound change unseen in a century which brings not only risks and challenges, but also opportunities. The rise of China and other emerging market and developing countries helps upholding the international system with the UN at its core and international justice.

    While seeking happiness for the people, revitalization for the nation and common development for the world, China is actively promoting the building of a new type of international relations and a community with a shared future for mankind. It is also advancing the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and promoting a new model of economic globalization.
    The country is committed to expanding peaceful and win-win development with other countries, and its wisdom, practices and achievements have been broadly commended by the international society.
    Looking back at the successes of the past seven decades, the Chinese people are proud of all their achievements. But they will not fall into complacency or stagnation.

    In this new era, China will not waver in its commitment to forging ahead on the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, pursuing mutual learning and mutually beneficial cooperation, and working together with the rest of the world.
    In the future, China will embrace the world in a more open and inclusive manner, engage in more interactions with other countries, and bring more progress and prosperity to itself and the rest of the world.

    As the white paper says, in the new era, China and the world will share a better and brighter future.(Zhong Sheng is a penname often used by People’s Daily to express its views on foreign policy.)

  • 12 Things that can make her feel insecure

    12 Things that can make her feel insecure

    As a guy, if you believe you’re doing everything right in the relationship, and still find that your girl feels insecure in the relationship, you’re probably doing one or more of these things.

    1. When your eyes often wander

    Remember what they say about the eyes being the window to our soul? Well, that’s a fact. Most women are very particular with eye contact. Looking at your girl when she’s talking will not only make her feel respected, but it will also make her feel that she’s interesting, therefore making her feel intimate with you.

    If your eyes wander when she’s talking, it’s an instant mood killer. She is bound to lose interest in sharing her thoughts with you because you’re obviously not interested in them. If you often give this kind of feeling to her, she’ll likely feel “less than” because you’re indirectly telling her that she’s boring.

    2. When you take forever to reply

    She’s not asking you to reply a minute after she sends a text message. However, do value her by checking your phone throughout the day, especially when you’re out drinking and it’s already midnight. If you value your girl, you won’t keep her waiting.

    A simple text is enough for her to know that you’re still thinking of her, even if you’re having fun with the guys. Any confident woman would feel insecure if her man never bothers to send her a reply. However, if she’s texting every five minutes even if she knows you’re busy, that’s a different story.

    3. When you hang out with your female best friend

    Every girl, no matter how cool she appears to be, gets a bit jealous when you’re with another girl. Yep, even if she’s just your best friend, and even if she’s not so attractive. That’s just human nature. So the next time you hang out with your best friend, make sure to tag your girlfriend along so they can get to know each other better. This will hopefully give her the assurance that she’s really just a friend and nothing more.

    4. When you talk endlessly about a girl

    Unless you’re talking about your mom or sister, your girlfriend will get jealous and a bit suspicious if you keep talking about a girl. This jealousy will get further aggravated if you’ve not been giving her enough attention lately.

    Sure, you’re innocent and there’s nothing more to it, but this could make your girl a bit insecure. The solution? If you keep talking about a girl from work, make sure you’re giving your girlfriend more attention. To erase her suspicion, set a date to introduce them to each other.

    5. When you don’t introduce her to friends

    You’re having brunch at a restaurant and suddenly, your childhood friends enter the scene. You’re so caught up with the moment that you totally forget to introduce your girlfriend to them. She’s grumpy all of a sudden. What is your criminal offense? Is it such a big deal? For women, it is.

    Never forget to introduce her to your friends, especially if that will make her feel left out. It will make her feel isolated and unwanted, and she’ll likely ask herself endlessly if she’s not special enough to be introduced to your buddies.

    6. When you neglect her during parties

    You invite her to go with you to your friend’s party. She’s so excited that she even bought a new dress. She’s thrilled to have a good time with you. However, when you arrive at the party, you get so caught up in meeting everyone that it takes you a long time to realize that your girl has just been sitting in a corner. Do you really have to be side-by-side like Siamese Twins? Not if she has other friends in the room or if she has the bubbliest personality. Do not just bring her to a party packed with all your friends only to leave her in one corner. Sometimes, it’s really your rudeness that makes her insecure.

    7. When you don’t compliment her on her new haircut

    If she’s made an effort to look good and you don’t give a damn, it’ll be a big blow to her self-esteem. Come on. Pay attention to your girl. But men don’t notice those things, you say. Well, that’s a lame excuse. You don’t have to fake a compliment every time there’s something new, but at least say something when she has a new haircut or when she just bought new lingerie.

    8. When you talk with your ex

    Let’s just say you’re best friends with your ex and you really don’t want to lose her. But let’s not forget that you had sex with your ex a lot of times in the past. The fact that you’ve had sexual chemistry and history is enough of a reason for your girl to get insecure. How can she beat your ex?

    She’s been with you much longer than the two of you have, and she’s your “best friend.” Good luck with that. The only woman who can tolerate your friendship with your ex is someone who doesn’t give a damn. Just make sure you won’t get jealous if she gets very close with her ex, too.

    9. When you talk about your ex

    Why do you have to talk about your ex? She shouldn’t be a part of the world that you create together, right? This will only make your girlfriend feel a bit uncomfortable and insecure about herself. But if you really want to talk about her or it can’t be helped, simply assure her that you have no feelings for her whatsoever. By the end of your conversation, your girlfriend should feel that she’s the only one you want now.

    10. When you keep her a secret

    Do you hide her from your family? Is she your secret love? That’s fine if you’ve just been together for a few months, but if you’ve been together for more than a year yet you’re still hiding her from your friends, don’t be surprised if she gets insecure. Why do you keep her a secret? If you love someone, you’re willing to shout their name until all the world knows you’re together. It doesn’t take much. Simply uploading a photo of you together on Facebook is a big thing for your girl. If social media is not your thing, then at least embrace her in public.

    11. When you keep secrets from her

    Women are very intuitive. They can tell if you’re keeping secrets from them. If you do this too often to your girl, she’ll start to feel like you’re excluding her from your life. Maybe it’s fine if you’re keeping secrets from her just to protect her, but if you’re keeping secrets from her because you’re scared she’d judge you or you’re scared she’d tell her friends, then you better deal with your other issues.

    Tell her your secrets, but make her promise not to hate you or not to share it to anyone else. If you continue keeping secrets, it will become a habit for you and she’ll start to feel less-than-adequate.

    12. When you cheat on her

    There is nothing more effective in making a girl feel insecure all her life than by cheating on her. She’ll feel so worthless it’ll ruin her self-esteem for long time to come. Have you been caught cheating before in any way? Then you’re the one making her feel insecure.

    Do not hate her for being insecure, because you played a big role in making her feel that way. If she agreed to stay with you even after you got caught, make sure you never commit the same offense again. It’s also important that you show her that you’re willing to change. Her insecurity in your relationship will now be part of the package.

    44. You have to show us you care; or else we will find someone else who does. Keep in mind a woman will not waste time with someone who doesn’t make an effort to show any interest. It’s simply just a waste of time. This is how we see it… Don’t call = don’t care.

    49. We love talking about feelings. Almost all the time, as humans, what we say isn’t always what we mean. Have a warm conversation with a girl, and it’ll definitely bring her closer to you. After all, all girls think a great conversationalist is an excellent catch.

    Helpful tips on how to move on from a breakup without closure

    We’ve all heard the saying; it takes a seconds to say Hello, but forever to say Goodbye. This rings true in every breakup, especially one that ends without the other party involved giving you the closure you need to move forward. So how does a brokenhearted girl move on from a relationship that ends without the much-needed closure she longs for? Here are ten things that have and continue to help me as I slowly pick up the pieces of my broken heart after a relationship ended–minus the closure.

    1. ACCEPTANCE

    Accept the fact that your ex will not give you the closure you need. My ex decided to pull a David Copperfield act and disappear on me with without a call, email, text, or telegram, so this was the hardest thing for me come to terms with. You need to stop looking, searching, and yearning for it and come to terms that the closure you want from him will not come.

    2. TURN YOUR LOVE INTO HATE

    At first my girlfriends thought this was a rather harsh piece of advice, but love eventually leads to hate and the best way to get over the runaway man is by hating him.

    3. EMBRACE YOUR INNER SAILOR

    Sailor’s mouth is not something a lady should indulge in during her everyday life, but there comes an occasion when a woman should tap into it. That occasion is a breakup. A breakup without closure even more. Call him every name in the book, in as many languages as you speak. He’s not there to see how unladylike you look, so let him have it! It’ll give you a sense of empowerment.

    4. THE RIGHT TO BE BITTER

    Most women advise you not to be bitter, but I say they’re wrong. YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO BE BITTER. As long as this is temporary and lasts up to the period when you’ve finally been able to flush him out of your system, be as bitter about the breakup, the memories attached to it, and the man himself without any guilt.

    5. CLEAN HOUSE

    Get everything that reminds you of him out of your house, and I mean EVERYTHING. The ticket stubs for the movies you guys went to, the pen he lent you, and any receipts you saved from special outings–THROW ALL OF THAT AWAY. He deserves no place in your heart, mind, or closet.

    6. BIG GIRLS DO CRY

    Cry as much as you need to. Don’t let ANYONE tell you that you shouldn’t «waste tears on him» because you need to relieve all that frustration and the best way to do that is by allowing yourself to feel all of the emotions attached to a breakup without closure. I cried for weeks. Some days were better than others, but even today I have an occasional cry here and there. With every tear, you’ll realize that you get a little bit stronger. So grab a box of tissues and let it rain.

    7. DOWNLOAD, DOWNLOAD, DOWNLOAD

    Run out and grab an iTunes card and download as many songs about moving on from a bad relationship. Hearing songs about moving on as opposed to songs about heartbreak and getting him back will allow your mind to accept the fact that it’s done and that you need to start moving forward and stop looking back.

    8. GIRL TIME

    I can’t begin to stress how important it is to spend time with those special ladies in your life who make you feel whole again. I don’t know what I would have done without my girlfriends. Girlfriends will be there for you to offer all kinds of support, a shoulder, an ear, a stiff drink. Let them be there for you–you need them now more than ever.

    9. THE CONS LIST

    Make a cons list of all the things you hated about him. The things he did that annoyed you, disgusted you, things he said that hurt you. For example, my ex never supported my dreams, love for writing, or my opinions. I hate that he always made it a point to comment on how thin I am, never called me, or told me I was beautiful. I remember these things constantly and it helps me realize exactly what I don’t want in a forever man. Making a cons list alone helps you focus on all the things you don’t want in a man you intend to spend the rest of your life with and get over him.

    10. YOUR CLOSURE

    There is going to come a point, the very one I’m currently at as I write this, where you realize that the only closure that’s going to come is from Me, Myself and I. YOU are the only one that can give yourself closure. When my ex decided to run away without so much as a goodbye, I spent everyday trying to figure out how I could get the closure from him that I needed. I had so many questions unanswered, words left unsaid, and feelings unfulfilled. But I’ve realized that his silence says volumes. The only one that can pick up the pieces of YOU is yourself.

    Moving on is not meant to be easy, but after you have made it through these steps, however long that may take–you will begin to find little pieces of yourself prior to ever having men, or the man that jilted you, coming back. There will be moments of perpetual loneliness and others of bliss, but one thing that’s certain to me and what I will remind you is that you deserve to be with a real man, not a counterfeit one that believes he can walk out of a woman’s life without so much as a goodbye. In the meantime ladies–find a man who will treat you like a queen, make you smile, call you because he wants to, and–if worse and he should realize that your relationship won’t work–a man who will have the kahunas to give you the closure you need to move forward.
