Original title: "China can succeed, and other developing countries can also succeed" (General Secretary's People's Feelings)

Achieving modernization has been the unremitting pursuit of the Chinese people since modern times and is also the common pursuit of people all over the world.

"China can succeed, and other developing countries can also succeed." "We have the determination to firmly promote Chinese-style modernization, and the ambition to share development opportunities with the world through high-level opening up, and will inject confidence and power into global economic growth with our own development." The important propositions and important expositions made by General Secretary Xi Jinping are rooted in the successful practice of Chinese-style modernization, demonstrating China's ambition and responsibility to join hands with other countries on the journey of modernization, jointly promote world modernization, and promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Chinese-style modernization is a modernization that brings prosperity to all people. Under the leadership of General Secretary Xi Jinping, China has always regarded realizing the people's yearning for a better life as the starting point and goal of modernization and steadily promoted common prosperity.

The "15th Five-Year Plan" outline adheres to the people-centered development concept, firmly grasps the goal of common prosperity, and makes strategic arrangements around increasing efforts to protect and improve people's livelihood and solidly promote the common prosperity of all people. It draws a blueprint for China's economic and social development in the next five years and also provides a "list of opportunities" for the world.

The poverty reduction goal of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has been achieved ahead of schedule. The per capita GDP has exceeded US$13,000 for three consecutive years. The world's largest education system, social security system, and medical and health system have been built... Chinese-style modernization adheres to the people-centered approach and leaves no one behind. It has also provided a vivid example for the world.

Caring for the people and having the world in mind. General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "Achieving modernization is an inalienable right of all countries in the world" and "the yearning of people of all countries for a better life is our pursuit."

Guided by the concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind, China has always closely linked the interests of the Chinese people with the interests of people of all countries, and promoted the modernization process of countries around the world with Chinese-style modernization.

——China and Africa work together to promote modernization that is fair and reasonable, open and win-win, puts people first, is diverse and inclusive, is ecologically friendly, and is peaceful and secure. Since May 1 this year, my country has fully implemented zero-tariff measures with 53 African countries that have diplomatic relations with China, and has further expanded access to African products exported to China by upgrading "green channels" and other measures. Partnership actions such as trade prosperity, industrial chain cooperation, and connectivity have continuously enhanced Africa's ability to develop independently.

——China and Central Asian countries respect each other, trust each other, benefit each other, and assist each other, and promote common modernization through high-quality development. Projects such as the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan Railway, China-Tajikistan Highway, China-Uzbekistan Modern Agricultural Science and Technology Demonstration Park, and Luban Workshop break through geographical and technical barriers and release the potential of regional modernization and development.

——China and Latin American countries have in-depth exchanges of experience in state governance, implemented a number of "small but beautiful" people's livelihood projects, expanded cooperation in emerging fields, and laid a solid foundation for common development through measures such as providing government scholarships and training technical personnel for poverty alleviation.

——Build "five major cooperation patterns" with Arab countries, build "six major cooperation platforms" with Pacific island countries, and grant zero-tariff treatment to all least developed countries that have established diplomatic relations with China on 100% of their tax items... On the road to jointly pursuing the dream of modernization, "the Chinese people not only hope to live well for themselves, but also hope that the people of other countries will live well."

General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed four major global initiatives to chart the course for world modernization that promotes peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation, and common prosperity.

The Global Development Initiative builds and promotes consensus on global development and cultivates new momentum for global development; the Global Security Initiative focuses on resolving international disputes through dialogue and consultation and creates a stable environment for development; the Global Civilization Initiative is committed to promoting inclusiveness and mutual learning among civilizations and enriching modernization path choices; the Global Governance Initiative aims to improve global governance through reform so that people of all countries can enjoy a greater sense of gain, happiness, and security.

The four major global initiatives inject certainty into a chaotic world from different dimensions, provide stronger impetus for human development and progress, and respond to every country, every nation, and every person's yearning for a better life.

In November 2024, General Secretary Xi Jinping witnessed the opening of the Port of Chancay in Peru. Today, this modern port is becoming a new hub on South America’s Pacific coast;

In the spring of 2025, General Secretary Xi Jinping discussed cooperation plans with Cambodian leaders. Cooperation such as the "Industrial Development Corridor", "Fish and Rice Corridor" and the Funan Dezo Comprehensive Water Conservancy Project will benefit the people of both countries;

In October 2025, the Serbian section of the Hungary-Serbia Railway, a project that General Secretary Xi Jinping personally cares about and promotes, will be fully opened for operation, bringing Serbia closer to neighboring countries and regions.

In May 2026, China, 53 countries and 9 international institutions jointly initiated the establishment of the Global Partnership for Poverty Reduction and Development, committed to working together to build a community with a shared future for mankind without poverty and common development, injecting new impetus into accelerating the global poverty reduction process.

The trickles of water merge into the sea, and the stars light up the Milky Way. The China Initiative has taken root in various parts of the world, and each vivid modernization story together paints a magnificent picture of world modernization.

"At all times, we must put the people's hearts at heart, the interests of the world, and make unremitting efforts to improve the people's well-being."

China will join hands with other countries on the road to modernization, and let modernization undertakings with different characteristics converge into the current of the times that promotes world prosperity and progress.
