The rise of China is likely to be the greatest “game changer” of the 21st century, as compared to any other global phenomenon. In recent years, it has been witnessed that China’s “soft power” achievement has brought many imperative changes in international relations and global politics.

There is no civilization in the world who has acquired huge triumph in diverse fields, which makes the People’s Republic of China one of the most respected and admired countries in the globe.

Derived from the primary norms and legacy, the dynamic Chinese leadership has eradicated all barriers to regional cooperation and paved the way for a win-win situation.

The successful conduct of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) has shown China’s vision for the future and hallmark of a great victory. The policies and new plans have been gaining much appreciation from the world. The strategies of safeguarding multilateralism, regional peace, poverty eradication, modernizing national security, and national rejuvenation hold much relevance for China’s future ambitions.

With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the world has been amid many challenges jeopardizing the socioeconomic fabrics of societies. These global menaces need joint solutions for reviving interregional linkages. In this regard, China’s future vision for multilateral cooperation has paved the way for constructing new grand narratives in international relations. Common development is a journey and no end, only a beginning.

Thereby, the core foundation of this pervasive alignment is based on mutual respect, fairness, equality, justice, and a win-win cooperative framework. The new guidelines and roadmap set by the dynamics leadership in the congress will prove to be instrumental in a time when countries are distancing themselves due to orthodox rivalries or obstacles.

Thereby, with the ongoing transition, countries must formulate and follow a holistic approach to enhance communication and joint collaboration. Thanks to the grand narratives proposed by China for mankind which have become a potential discourse of study.

The broad vision for national rejuvenation is aligned with the same characteristics associated with unity and resilience. The structural reforms and new policies are being implemented in the country and its positive growth has a ripple effect which has become more evident.

As an old Chinese saying goes, “Once spoken, a commitment must be acted on.” Fostering development in the region requires concrete actions. As the world’s largest economy, China is fully aware of the responsibilities it shoulders.

Over the years, the state has taken proactive steps to adapt to, manage, and steer the new normal in the economy and steadily advanced supply-side structural reform. As a result, the economy has continued to perform steadily with better-quality, efficient, more equitable, and sustainable growth. 

This robust governance system has become a role model for many nations to follow. China has been working to remove institutional barriers that impede development through comprehensive reforms. Under these assertions, it has been clear that China’s ambition for the next five years will provide a new synergy for unity and national rejuvenation.

The pioneer of China’s Democratic Revolution, i.e., Sun Yat-sen once stated, “The tide of history is mighty. Follow it and prosper; resist it and perish.” It can be easily anticipated that the leadership has been working tirelessly to effectively implement robust initiatives for new-era of ‘Socialism with Chinese Characteristics’ that will pave the way for fulfilling Chinese dream of national rejuvenation.

The 20th National Congress of CPC has remained the most significant event of the year, along with set targets for modernizing national security, tackling common challenges, and fostering development. I believe that the Chinese leadership has been playing proactive role which is exemplary for practicing democracy.
