英语新闻丨Xi's words published in French

A compilation of excerpts from discourses on Chinese modernization by Xi Jinping has been published in French by the Central Compilation and Translation Press.

Compiled by the Institute of Party History and Literature of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, the book collects a series of important discourses by Xi between November 2012 and October 2023 regarding Chinese modernization.

Both the book's French version and previously published English version will together help overseas readers better grasp the theoretical and practical context of Chinese modernization.

The book is also of great significance to enhancing the international community's understanding in joining hands on the path towards modernization.

On Saturday in Paris, a report released by Chinese think tanks also introduced the process of Chinese modernization and highlighted its global significance.

The report, titled "Chinese Modernization: The Way Forward," was coauthored by New China Research, the think tank of Xinhua News Agency, and the Institute of Party History and Literature of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, and is available in four languages including Chinese, English, French and Russian.

Under the leadership of the CPC, in just several decades, the Chinese people have completed the process of industrialization that took developed countries several centuries to complete, said the report.

China has scored widely recognized achievements in modernization and realized two miracles, namely the rapid economic growth and long-term social stability, the report said.

China's modernization drive aims not only to benefit the Chinese people, but also to promote the common development of the world, the report added.

The report said that China has always worked to safeguard world peace, contribute to global development, preserve international order, and provide public goods, and it will continue to provide the world with new opportunities through its new development.

The country has actively participated in, promoted, and joined hands with other countries to push forward reform and development of the global governance system in a bid to make the international order fairer and more equitable, it said.

Chinese modernization has expanded the channels for developing countries to achieve modernization by providing them with a brand-new option, and offered a Chinese proposal for humanity's search for a better social system, said the report.

China will also  support the independent choices of peoples around the world regarding their own development paths, in a concerted effort to draw a new vision of the future featuring harmonious coexistence of modernization in diverse forms, it said.
