US officials' attempt to drive a wedgebetween Party, Chinese people set to fail

Some officials in the United States havebeen ganging up on the Communist Party of China, but they are turning a blindeye to the fact that the CPC leadership has enabled China to grow into theworld's second-largest economy without resorting to warfare, colonialism orslavery.

They also ignore the broad support that theCPC has earned from the Chinese people due to its people-centered governancephilosophy, which is in stark contrast with that of political parties of the USputting selfish political gain and capital first, analysts said.

Wu Bo, a researcher of socialism withChinese characteristics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said thatthe CPC considers people's interests all it works for, and the CPC's all-outefforts to protect people's lives and health in fighting COVID-19 have been oneof the testimonies of this.

Intensive slandering of the CPC by some USofficials is based on an outdated Cold War mentality and deep-seatedideological bias, Wu said, and they have prejudices against the path of socialismwith Chinese characteristics and turn a blind eye to the broad support of theChinese people for the CPC while ignoring their severe problems at home.

Over recent decades, the CPC has led thenation to create economic miracles and long-term social stability. By upholdingthe vision of a community with a shared future for mankind, it shows it wantsto work with the international community, including the US, to build an open,inclusive, clean and beautiful world with lasting peace, universal security andcommon prosperity.

Raed Fahmi, secretary of the CentralCommittee of the Iraqi Communist Party, said that the CPC and the Chinesepeople have every right to be proud of their great achievements in all aspectsduring the country's development.

"The pillars of China's foreign policyare consistent with the Charter of the United Nations, and provide a sound,solid and stable basis for building a new type of relations between countriesthat guarantees international peace and security," Fahmi told Xinhua NewsAgency.

These pillars have been clearlydemonstrated "in initiatives and calls for international cooperation andpeaceful coexistence between countries with different political, economic andsocial systems", Fahmi added.

Since May, the US administration has setforth a systematic set of speeches and documents to attack China, specificallyaiming at the CPC.

They started with a policy document,"United States' Strategic Approach to the People's Republic ofChina", released by the White House on May 26. The document isextraordinary as few previous administrations actually put in print similarcomprehensive statements of policy that view the CPC as subversive of USvalues, laws and institutions, as well as the international system.

The document was followed by speeches madeby influential US officials, including National Security Adviser Robert O'Brienon June 24, FBI Director Christopher Wray on July 7, Attorney General WilliamBarr on July 16 and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on July 23.

A number of the officials' accusations havebeen contradicted, however, by a survey by the Ash Center for DemocraticGovernance and Innovation of Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School ofGovernment. The center recently said that the Chinese people's overall supportfor and satisfaction with the central government exceeded 93 percent.

As China deployed effective measuresagainst the coronavirus, public trust in the government rose to 95 percent,with citizens' responses to a survey putting the country at the top of the 11countries covered. The survey was conducted by US-based Edelman Intelligence inApril.

The results moved China up 5 points fromEdelman's annual Trust Barometer survey in January, which also ranked thecountry at the top. The US finished next to last with 48 percent.

China's Foreign Ministry has said that USofficials' attempt to drive a wedge between the Chinese people and to create aunited front to curb China will not succeed.

State Councilor and Foreign Minister WangYi recently told Xinhua that the relationship between the CPC and the Chinesepeople is as close as between "fish and water "and between "soiland seed".

"Those who attempt to break thisstrong bond are making themselves enemies of the 1.4 billion Chinesepeople," he said. "We hope that the US will respect China's socialsystem and the Chinese people's choice and give up its failedinterventionism."

Own development path

China has made it clear that it does notreplicate any model from other countries, nor does it export its own to others.It insists that success of its development path is not a blow and a threat tothe Western system and path as differences in systems should not lead to azero-sum game, but should coexist peacefully.

President Xi Jinping, who is also generalsecretary of the CPC Central Committee, has said on various occasions that theParty's fundamental missions are to seek well-being for the people and realizethe great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

China unswervingly sticks to the path ofpeaceful development, Xi said, and it has been and will be a champion of worldpeace, contributor of global development and supporter of international order.

The CPC has not only sought to serve theChinese people, but also has made contributions to the development of the worldthrough the Belt and Road Initiative, said Salah Adly, general secretary of theEgyptian Communist Party.

Way out of poverty

Under the leadership of the CPC, China'spath of socialism with Chinese characteristics has been the way out of povertyand backwardness for the 1.4 billion Chinese people, and it has enabled theChinese nation to make important contributions to the progress of mankind.

China is the largest contributor ofpeacekeepers among the five permanent members of the United Nations SecurityCouncil and has been contributing to the peaceful settlement of the KoreanPeninsula nuclear issue, the Iranian nuclear issue and other regional andinternational hot spots, as well as the response to climate change and otherglobal challenges.

In recent years, it has contributed over 30percent of the world's economic growth, and was an important player in theinternational response to the financial crisis in Asia and the global financialcrisis.

All these facts have been witnessed by theworld. Before the 99th anniversary of the founding of the CPC on July 1, morethan 100 foreign political parties sent their congratulations to Xi and the CPCCentral Committee, lauding its glorious history and China's great achievements.

The European Left party said in itscongratulatory message that the CPC has long secured peace and development andupheld people-centered principles.

The Communist Party of France said thatChina is now, under the leadership of the CPC, striving to achieve high-qualitygrowth, build a moderately prosperous society in all respects and realize theaspiration of the people to live a better life.
