BEIJING - The Chinese people have stepped forward with more confidence in achieving their two centenary goals and building a socialist country. President Xi Jinping has offered new guidance and arrangements on reaching the country's first centenary goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects by 2020 to celebrate the centenary of the Communist Party of China (CPC). Xi also presented ideas for accomplishing the second centenary goal to build a modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious by the middle of the 21st century in time for the centenary of the People's Republic of China. Since ancient times, writers have recorded the Chinese people's desire to build a moderately prosperous society. After the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, the Party drew up a four-pronged comprehensive strategy -- building an all-round moderately prosperous society, deepening reform, advancing the rule of law and strict governance of the CPC. The CPC has implemented the development concept, and adopted an overall approach for economic, political, cultural, social and ecological progress. During the past five years, Xi has promised extensive supply-side structural reform, including major tasks such as cutting excess capacity, destocking, deleveraging, reducing costs and shoring up weak areas. Departments under the State Council have canceled or delegated administrative approval power to lower level organs, meeting targets ahead of schedule in a move to cut red tape and streamline governance. Achievements have also been made in judicial, fiscal and tax, state-owned enterprise, military and educational reforms. In the CPC's fight against corruption, crushing momentum has been made in punishing both low-level "flies" and high-ranking "tigers," including Zhou Yongkang, Bo Xilai, Guo Boxiong, Xu Caihou, Sun Zhengcai and Ling Jihua. The Chinese people are moving closer to their first goal and are looking toward the second centenary goal, while remembering Xi's remark that the people's desire for a better life will always be the country's goal. The 19th CPC National Congress will convene in October. A total of 2,287 delegates have been elected from more than 89 million Party members to gather in Beijing to elect a new central committee. On the path to meeting the two goals, the task remains difficult and risks and challenges continue to exist. China must make comprehensive efforts to prevent and control major risks, alleviate poverty, curb pollution, and deepen supply-side structural reform to push forward sustained and healthy economic and social development. cotton braceletsuv braceletwristband keychaincustom rubber bandscustom made rubber braceletsprintable wristbands
Officers from the Xingning public security bureau, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, have founded a new media group to make short videos that are posted on Douyin. Many local governments across the country have opened accounts on the social media platform. [Photo/China Daily] Dangling precariously from a helicopter before jumping to the ground, the policeman quickly pulled out his gun and squeezed the trigger without hesitation. Loud cracks echoed all around and the bullets hit the centers of 10 targets standing 10 meters away. As a volley of gunshots split the air, the crack shot didn't flinch, he just kept moving. Though visually stunning and intended to set the heart pounding, this is not a scene from a Hollywood action movie, Instead, it is a 36-second video filmed at a shooting range by the Beijing Special Weapons and Tactics team that shows officers undertaking shooting scenarios to hone their skills. Since May 3, when it was posted on Douyin, a platform for short videos and music, the clip has gained more than 8.67 million likes and about 182,000 comments. Most people expressed respect for the SWAT team's tough training methods and astonishment at its shooting skills. The soaring popularity of Douyin, known as Tik Tok overseas, has encouraged more than 500 government departments and media organizations, including the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and people.cn, to open accounts as a creative way of providing better services and communications. In the first six months of the year, government-related video accounts gained more than 1.6 billion hits on Douyin, according to Beijing Byte-Dance Technology, a news and information content provider.
