Positive changes the defining feature of the past and future

The Chinese Dream, proposed by Xi Jinping when he became general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in late 2012, has been the catchword for the country since then. It will continue to frame the agenda for the nation after the 19th CPC National Congress that begins later this month.

President Xi has emphasized the purpose of government is to protect and improve the lives of the people and the Chinese Dream serves as a clarion call for bringing real benefits to the Chinese people.

The first stage of this dream, building a moderately prosperous society, is to be attained by deepening reform and governing the nation according to the law, which requires strict governance of the Party.
