Stable Progress with Faith and Determination
"Faith and determination" also feature among Xi's favorite terms. In this book, he applies the terms mainly to political faith and strategic determination.
Political faith refers to firm beliefs, and strategic determination has various forms of expressionm, according to Xi. China's economy is facing substantial downward pressure. The new central leadership has maintained stable growth, keeping employment above a bottom line and inflation below an upper ceiling. Now it will focus on structural adjustment and maintain a stable macro policy.
A Community of Common Destiny and Win-Win Relationships
Many articles of the book address Xi's ideas on diplomacy and international relations. He has stressed on a number of occasions that we live in a global village, and should be conscious of our common destiny. He thinks that zero-sum thinking is outdated, and that we must blaze a new trail of win-win cooperation.
Speaking of China's relations with other countries, Xi highlights these principles through four words: "friendship, sincerity, reciprocity and inclusiveness" – the path of China's peaceful development.
The new central leadership has been creative in developing new diplomatic ideas, and in response it has won the approval of the international community.
The book presents a wide range of novel ideas and strategies which merit careful study. In it, you are likely to find many valuable clues to China's future.
