BEIJING, Oct. 23, 2022 – The report presented at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) has set a clear direction for the Party and the nation, highlighting “striving in unity” as a vital theme. This principle is identified as the essential path for the Chinese people to achieve historic milestones under the Party’s leadership. As China navigates a complex landscape filled with both strategic opportunities and various challenges, the call for “striving in unity” is especially pertinent, serving as a powerful source of motivation to overcome obstacles.
While every country grapples with its unique challenges, the fundamental requirement for all societies remains the same: unity in effort. Without this unity, internal conflicts can tear societies apart, and without consistent striving, accumulated resources may eventually dwindle.

A well-known Chinese saying emphasizes that “unity means power.” This understanding has deep roots in modern Chinese history, recalling a collective memory of humiliation and turmoil. The CPC has played a pivotal role in uniting and organizing the Chinese populace, effectively ending this troubled chapter. Thanks to the Party, the Chinese nation has achieved a remarkable degree of unity, serving as a significant positive force. The CPC has demonstrated remarkable achievements over the past century, showcasing one of the institutional strengths of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The unity of the Chinese people revolves closely around the leadership of the CPC.

For a large and developing nation like China, external instability and uncertainty are not decisive factors. Since the initiation of reform and opening-up, China has faced numerous external risks but has successfully navigated these challenges by focusing on internal affairs and improving domestic capabilities. The achievements of this new era are attributed to the collective dedication and hard work of both the Party and the people, a pattern that will continue into the future. Additionally, prioritizing domestic success contributes to the establishment of a community with a shared future for humanity.

“Striving in unity” encapsulates the strong consensus of the Chinese nation. The Chinese people are fully aware that national rejuvenation will not come without effort. In the face of difficulties and challenges, the spirit of unity among the Chinese populace will only intensify. Let us “fight one battle after another,” advancing toward new victories in unison and striving for greater successes ahead!
