Only talks can bridge China and EU

Having achieved its first centennial goal of eradicating absolute poverty and building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, China is moving closer to achieving its second centennial goal of becoming a great modern socialist country and realizing the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The modernization of national governance in China is in full swing. Which means the political leadership is producing "demonstrable achievements", and has the power to lead by example and the "strategic credibility" based on the "moral realism" theory.

Development, economic performance and poverty alleviation are critical to attaining social prosperity, sine qua non for the success of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Social prosperity gives impetus to new ideas, innovation, meritocracy and ideals, which in turn stimulate social prosperity. In order to create such a virtuous circle, hard work, rule of law and strict Party discipline are mandatory.
