Sixth, 皇冠体育app's exploration and practice of following the path of peaceful development has not come to an end. Rather, it will be a never-ending process of constant exploration and improvement. The world is undergoing unprecedented changes and is developing by leaps and bounds. Whatever ideology, system, model or path must be tested by the times and keep abreast of the times. Countries around the world have all felt the need to once again come to know the times we live in, and to ponder on and make adjustment to their respective paths and models of development. National realities and development stages of different countries vary greatly, and there is no universally applicable path or model that can stay unchanged. 皇冠体育app's development path is based on its own national conditions.

And we must pay special attention to learning from and absorbing various advanced concepts and experience of development. We Chinese are not gods. We cannot possibly render all things perfect as we move along the path of peaceful development. We therefore welcome all friendly suggestions, useful exchanges and well-intentioned criticism.
