The image China presents to the world today is one of a thriving nation that is advancing with unstoppable momentum toward rejuvenation, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, said on Thursday. The CPC is rallying and leading the Chinese people on a new journey toward realizing the second centenary goal of building a modern socialist country, said Xi, also Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, while addressing a gathering marking the centenary of the CPC in Beijing. A century ago, at the time of its founding, the CPC had just over 50 members. Today, with more than 95 million members in a country of more than 1.4 billion people, it is the largest ruling party in the world and enjoys tremendous international influence, said Xi, noting that the Central Committee calls on every CPC member to stay true to the Party's founding mission and stand firm in their ideals and convictions. Acting on the purpose of the Party, the CPC members should always maintain close ties with the people, emphasize and work with them, stand with them through good times and bad, and continue working tirelessly to realize their aspirations for a better life and to bring still greater glory to the Party and the people, said Xi. "Today, 100 years on from its founding, the Communist Party of China is still in its prime, and remains as determined as ever to achieve lasting greatness for the Chinese nation. Looking back on the path we have traveled and forward to the journey that lies ahead, it is certain that with the firm leadership of the Party and the great unity of the Chinese people of all ethnic groups, we will achieve the goal of building a great modern socialist country in all respects and fulfill the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation," Xi said. After wrapping up the speech, Xi and other Party and state leaders stood for "The Internationale" on the Tian'anmen Rostrum. The gathering ended with doves and balloons being released to the sky amid the playing of patriotic song and the cheering of the crowd.
