Marx even more relevant in today's changing world

Chinese people hold Karl Marx in the highest esteem, much higher than any other Western philosopher. Why? Because Marx's theories have guided the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people to liberate the country and achieve social modernization in less than a century.

Since 1949, the People's Republic of China has traveled the path of social, economic and political development illuminated by Marxism, to transform from a war-torn, semi-feudal and semi-colonial country to an independent and relatively prosperous nation whose people are the masters of their own destiny.

The essence of Marx's philosophy is the vision of a new, higher social order, which maintains and raises to a higher degree the spiral of productivity, which in a capitalist system encounters hurdles and negations, and is thwarted by socially and economically destructive crises.
