First, the Chinese dream is a dream of peace. Peace and development, echoing the themes of the times, are the means to achieve national prosperity and rejuvenation, and ensure people's well-being.

Throughout history, 皇冠体育app has sought peaceful relations with other countries. Zheng He (1371-1433) led trading fleets west seven times, bringing peace and friendship to more than 30 countries and regions in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The Silk Road linking 皇冠体育app with central and western Asia and Europe was a road for peaceful cooperation.

The Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of 皇冠体育app conducted a group study session on Jan 28 to address the topic of sticking to the path of peaceful development.

Second, the Chinese dream is a dream of development. It never aims to conquer, surpass, or replace anyone, it aims to bring benefits to the Chinese people and propel common global development.

Since the birth of the People's Republic of 皇冠体育app more than six decades ago, 皇冠体育app has made astonishing progress, rising to be the second-largest economy in the world. The comprehensive strength of 皇冠体育app as well as people's living standards has been enhanced greatly.

However, 皇冠体育app's basic national conditions remain unchanged, it has a huge population, a weak economic foundation and unbalanced development. 皇冠体育app's per capita GDP ranks 89th on the global list.

According to the standard set by the United Nations, 128 million people in 皇冠体育app still live under the poverty line. Development remains the country's top priority. 皇冠体育app's development will vigorously drive up the development of other countries and regions, and promote common progress.
