Chinese President Xi Jinping’s latest article, set to publish Tuesday in the CPC Central Committee’s Qiushi Journal, calls for unwavering self-confidence and self-reliance as core pillars of China’s modernization journey. The piece compiles key excerpts from Xi’s speeches over the past decade, offering a roadmap for the nation’s future.
What’s Inside?
The article highlights China’s historical resilience, noting that the country’s rise has always been driven by 'independently blazing its own path.' 'There’s no instruction manual for national rejuvenation,' Xi writes, emphasizing that socialism with Chinese characteristics remains the foundation of progress.
Confidence + Reform = Progress 
Xi argues that self-confidence is the 'essential fuel' for self-reliance, pointing to the CPC’s century-long track record as proof. 'Advancing modernization means staying independent—we must rely on our own strength to shape China’s future,' the article states. But it’s not about complacency: Xi urges continued reforms to refine China’s socialist system, making it 'more mature and enduring.'
Why It Matters 
This isn’t just political theory—it’s a call to action for younger generations navigating global challenges. For entrepreneurs, students, and innovators, the message is clear: trust in China’s unique model while pushing boundaries. As global tensions rise, Xi’s focus on homegrown solutions could shape policies in tech, trade, and beyond.
