New Standing Committee Appears: China Starts Glorious And Dreaming Expedition

Oct 24, 2022

"Hello everyone! It's a pleasure to meet all the journalists here."

At noon on the 23rd, Beijing, the Golden Hall of the Great Hall of the People attracted worldwide attention. Xi Jinping, who was just elected General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee at the First Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, led the new Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to meet with Chinese and foreign reporters here.

Since the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the new leadership team of the Communist Party of China has formed the practice of meeting with Chinese and foreign journalists. Each "five-year appointment" is a new historical starting point with special significance for the world's largest ruling party. This year's meeting was held in the Golden Hall of the Great Hall of the People for the first time. More than 600 Chinese and foreign journalists were waiting here to witness this historic moment.

On October 23, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, who was just elected at the first plenary meeting of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and Li Qiang, Zhao Leji, Wang Huning, Cai Qi, Ding Xuexiang, and Li Xi, members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, were in Beijing. The Great Hall of the People cordially met with Chinese and foreign journalists.

In the 20-minute speech, the word "people" appeared 17 times.

"We must always stand together with the people through thick and thin, have a heart-to-heart bond with the people, think what the people think, do what the people say, and constantly turn the people's yearning for a better life into reality," Xi said.

Ten or five years ago, in the Great Hall of the People, Xi Jinping solemnly declared that the people's yearning for a better life is our goal. Better education, more reliable social security, higher level of medical and health services, and a more beautiful environment... In the 10 years of the new era, one by one, commitments to the people have come true and become a real picture of China's social development.
