CPC's third resolution on history and its future-looking plenum BEIJING, Nov. 13 (Xinhua)

It was a meeting much about the past

as it was about the future.

From Monday to Thursday, political heavyweights of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the world's largest ruling party, convened a high-profile meeting in Beijing -- the sixth plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Committee -- at which a resolution on historical issues was adopted.

The 30,000-plus-character Resolution on the Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party over the Past Century, is only the third of its kind in the Party's 100year history: the first in 1945 before the victory in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and the second in 1981 with the advent of the reform and opening-up drive.

The timing of the third resolution has its own historical significance. In 2021, the CPC celebrated its centenary, announced the completion of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects -- known in China as the First Centenary Goal -- and is leading the nation toward building a great modern socialist country -- the Second Centenary Goal -- by the mid-21st century.

PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE On Nov. 8, Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, opened the plenum by delivering a

"Everyone at the plenum shared the sentiment that a great historical responsibility has fallen upon our shoulders," said a CPC Central Committee member. "We feel that the resolution is bound to have a profound influence on the future of the cause of the Party and the country."

"It is a resolution that connects the Xi said the Political Bureau, while advanc- past, present and future," said a plenum attendee. ing work in all areas, focused on three maXI'S CORE POSITION jor things over the past year: the CPC From Monday afternoon to Thursday centenary celebration, morning, plenum attendees were divided Party history learning into 10 groups for deliberation on the and education camdraft documents.

Sitting in the audience were Party cadres and officials, including more than 300 members and alternate members of the CPC Central Committee, as well as some grassroots delegates to the 19th CPC National Congress and experts and scholars.

As an ancient Chinese saying goes: with history as a mirror, one can understand the rise and fall of a state.

Xi told the plenum that summarizing the Party's major achievements and historical experience over the past century was of great significance to further unifying the thinking, will and action of the whole Party.

This, Xi said, will help the Party unite and lead the nation to secure the great success of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

19th CPC Central Committee holds sixth plenary session BEIJING, Nov. 8 (Xinhua)

The 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) started its sixth plenary session in Beijing on Monday.

Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, delivered a work report on behalf of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and made explanations on a draft resolution on the major achievements and historical experience of the CPC's 100 years of endeavors.

The plenum is scheduled to last until Thursday, according to a decision made at a meeting of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau on Oct. 18.

The Political Bureau meeting also decided to submit the draft resolution to the plenum for deliberation.

The CPC has led all ethnic groups of the country in making remarkable achievements over the past 100 years in the history of human development, according to a statement issued after the October meeting.

Chinese people who had suffered subjugation and bullying since the advent of modern times had stood up.

The Chinese nation is advancing toward modernization on all fronts and socialism has blazed a successful trail in the world's most populous country, the statement said.

It also said that China is taking strides to keep abreast with the times, and the Chinese nation is embracing a bright prospect of national rejuvenation.

It noted that Chinese Communists, with Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and Hu Jintao as chief representatives, led the whole Party

and people of all ethnic groups in achieving vital progress in the revolution, construction and reform, with precious experience accumulated.

Since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at the core has led the whole Party and people of all ethnic groups in making new notable achievements and accumulating new precious experience.

Socialism with Chinese characteristics has demonstrated its strong vitality. The Party, the military, and the public have become united as never before. China has further consolidated its international status. All these factors have provided the cause of national rejuvenation with more robust institutions, stronger material foundations, and a source of inspiration for taking greater initiative, the statement said.

Through tenacious struggle, the Party and the Chinese people have shown the world that the Chinese nation has achieved the tremendous transformation from standing up and growing prosperous to becoming strong, and that China's national rejuvenation has become a historical inevitability, the statement said.

In drafting the resolution, the views and suggestions from both within and outside the Party were collected. Xi had also chaired a symposium to hear from the leaders from the central committees of the non-CPC political parties, head of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, and people with no party affiliation.

The draft won wide recognition from various regions, departments, and sides, along with delegates to the 19th CPC National Congress.

The attendees said this is an answer to the call of the times, and a significant political judgment made in response to not only the Party's common will but also the people's common aspirations.

Also included in the resolution were five aspects of the historical significance of the Party's endeavors over the past century, and 10 pieces of historical experience.

This content reflects the secret behind the Party's success. For instance, the principles of staying independent, breaking new ground and standing up for ourselves, all are deeply rooted in the Party's history and still bear great immediate significance.

UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED On Thursday afternoon, Xi presided

over a plenary meeting of the session at which the resolution was unanimously endorsed by every CPC Central Committee member in attendance.

Thunderous applause broke out and resonated inside the Great Hall of the People.

The meeting then passed a resolution on convening the 20th National Congress of the CPC in the second half of 2022 in Beijing.

The resolution particularly emphasized the importance of strengthening the Party's centralized, unified leadership, Xi said, explaining that the aim is to demand everyone in the CPC to align with its central committee, unify the Party as "a solid piece of iron" and march forward in unison.

Xi also stressed the need for "great struggle" and "even more arduous and strenu-

In 2021, upon the passing of the third resolution, Xi urged all Party members to maintain strategic resolve, focus on strategic targets and bear in mind the country's most fundamental interests.

"Today, we are closer, more confident, and more capable than ever before of making the goal of national rejuvenation a reality," Xi said. "We must fulfill the duties of our generation in the relay for attaining national rejuvenation."

The communique of the plenum was also adopted.

After that, Xi delivered an important speech on behalf of the Political Bureau on studying and implementing the spirit of the plenum.

"The Party was chosen by history and the people, and it has lived up to their choice," Xi said, adding that there would be no national rejuvenation without the CPC.

"With all the great achievements over the past century, our Party has won much praise from both inside and outside the Party, from home and abroad," Xi said.

"It is particularly in these circumstances that we must promote the spirit of self-reform even more. We can never allow ourselves to get carried away by the applause," he added.

In 1945, when the Party's first resolution on history was passed, Mao Zedong issued the call for Party-wide unity like members of a family.

In 1981, when the second such resolution was passed, Deng Xiaoping emphasized its importance in unifying the thoughts in the Party.

China breeds endangered primate in captivity

Photo taken on Nov 10, 2021 shows the newborn Blackshanked Douc Langur in an incubator at Chimelong Primate Research Center in Guangzhou, capital of South China's Guangdong province. [Photo/Xinhua] GUANGZHOU -- China's captive breeding program of an endangered primate with its wild population of less than 1,000 worldwide has succeeded, said researchers on Thursday.

Black-shanked Douc Langur, the rare wildlife, is listed "endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threat-

ened Species. Currently, one of the relatively effective methods to restore its population is through human intervention.

China's captive breeding program of the species succeeded on July 9, when a baby monkey was born in Chimelong Primate Research Center in Guangzhou, capital of South China's Guangdong province.

The newborn primate made its public debut on Thursday. It is expected to leave its incubator about two months later and be released to its own species group at about twoand-a-half years old, with the center's experts' relevant animal training and guidance.

The

Association for Sri LankaChina Social & Cultural Cooperation (ASLCSCC) President Mr.Indrananda Abeysekera has issued a statement urging the government not to allow the issue of the Chinese Fertilizer ship to escalate further due to narrow political motives and unethical actions.

“We need to find solutions to the problem of fertilizer ship based on authenticity and scientific conditions .It is more important than exchanging letters with each other that we make a final decision quickly. If the Chinese side says that the fertilizer sample research results In Sri Lanka, are unscientific and not up to international standards, the situation will not be complicated by international research confirming it.”

He added, “We also do not want to import anything harmful to our country from any country. But we have to provide an opportunity to Chinese side to prove the standard of the quality of their fertilizer as they requested .This is a trade negotiation not a diplomatic deal.

So it also contains international regulations that will affect both parties.

If Sri Lanka responsible for the lost, the people who did the wrong must be compensated, and neither China nor Sri Lanka need to suffer further from this fertilizer issue. Although we have seen many facts in the relevant documents that we see, we do not state them because both parties are already resorting to judicial action.”

“But we see that various parties in the government are issuing contradictory statements, allowing the negative impact campaign on China. It is not acceptable. These temporary moments could have a detrimental effect

on the friendship between the two countries. We believe that a mutually beneficial mechanism should be created between the two countries. We therefore urge the government not to allow that longstanding people to people friendship to be damaged.” Says the statement.

Talk between central govt and Dalai Lama only limited to his personal future: Chinese FM Global Time 10 Nov The door for talks between the Chinese central government and the 14th Dalai Lama is always open, but it's only limited to matters related to the personal future of the Dalai Lama, not the so-called Xizang (Tibet) issue, Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday.

The policy of the Chinese central government on contacts and talk with the 14th Dalai Lama is consistent and clear, and the door for such contacts is always open, Wang Wenbin, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, said at Wednesday's

media briefing.

"But I have to stress that the talk could only be things related to the personal future of the Dalai Lama, rather than the so-called Tibet issue," Wang said.

What the Dalai clique needs to do is to truly abandon their position of splitting the motherland and stop related activities, and take concrete actions to win the trust of the central government and the Chinese people, Wang said.

He said the so-called Tibetan "government-in-exile" is a complete secessionist political clique and an illegal organization in complete violation of Chinese Constitution and

laws, which has not been recognized by any country in the world, Wang said.

Wang's remarks came after reports that Dalai Lama claimed he had no plan to meet Chinese leaders, but would like to visit again at an online news conference.

91-yr-old Chinese scientist relishes online shopping spree XI'AN, Nov. 11 (Xinhua)

Ye Jundao, 91, made a long shop-

ping list and put the preferred items, including an electric wheelchair and a box of milk powder for his wife, on the online shopping cart.

The preparation is for the "Double Eleven," an annual shopping spree deemed the Chinese version of Black Friday, which falls on Thursday this year.

Ye, from Xi'an, capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, is a scientist in the field of defense technology. After retiring from work in 1991, he has continued to lead an active life -- reading the newspaper, delivering lectures at colleges, and giving speeches. "I don't feel tired.

Working cheers me up," Ye said.

He added that he never gets bored with exploring fancy things. He us-

es smartphones skillfully to read news, buy stocks, listen to the local Qinqiang opera, and even place orders for take-out meals.

His online shopping experience started two years ago, with his first order being a remotecontrolled light for his wife.

"Moving around was hard for my wife as she suffers from cerebral infarction. The light enabled her to control the light without getting off the bed," he said.

The shopping experience, with an order worth 360 yuan (about 56 U.S. dollars), was however not that pleasant. He found that the light wasn't working at the beginning.

"The customer service promised me a replacement, but how could I return it since I had already unpacked it," Ye recalled.

"At that time, I thought I would no longer shop online."

Thanks to the assistance from the customer service, he could later make the light work.

Since then Ye has become somewhat a "shopaholic" and bought many quality items such as a computer chair and kitchen-

ware.

The annual "Double Eleven" festival was first started by Alibaba's e-commerce platform on Nov. 11, 2009, and quickly grew into a major shopping event.

The shopping spree sees the participation of record 290,000 brands this year with discounts on more than 14 million items on Alibaba's Tmall platform.

A wrinkled face and grey hairs can barely dampen Ye's spirits.

He said that he feels very young and is open to young people's attitudes toward consumption and online shopping.

"We are used to living a frugal life, while the living conditions are getting better with the development of society," he said. "I support youths to have their own lifestyle, and to consume in line with their earnings."

Ye's shopping list has two special gifts: a collection of stamps and a book for his great-grandchild.

The commemorative stamps feature images of pioneers in China's nuclear industry, while the book tells stories of the elderly scientists in atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb research.

CPC plenum passes landmark ….

the new-democratic revolution, according to the communique.

In the period of socialist revolution and construction, Chinese communists, with Comrade Mao Zedong as their chief representative, put forward a series of important theories for socialist construction.

China was transformed from a poor and backward Eastern country with a large population to a socialist country, according to the communique.

During the new period of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization, after the third plenary session of the 11th Central Committee, Chinese communists, with Comrade Deng Xiaoping as their chief representative, by focusing on the fundamental questions of what socialism is and how to build it, established Deng Xiaoping Theory. The reform and opening up drive was launched, and socialism with Chinese characteristics was successfully founded.

After the fourth plenary session of the 13th Central Committee, Chinese communists, with Comrade Jiang Zemin as their chief representative, deepened the understanding of what socialism is and how to build it, and what kind of Party to build and how to build it. On this basis, they formed the Theory of Three Represents. Socialism with Chinese characteristics was successfully launched into the 21st century.

After the 16th National Party Congress, Chinese communists, with Comrade Hu Jintao as their chief representative, united and led the whole Party and the entire nation in advancing practical, theoretical, and institutional innovation during the process of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and formed the Scientific Outlook on Development.

They succeeded in upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics under new circumstances, according to the communique.

Following the Party's 18th National Congress, socialism with Chinese characteristics entered a new era. Chinese communists, with Comrade Xi Jinping as their chief representative, have established Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is the Marxism of contemporary China and of the 21st century. It embodies the best

of the Chinese culture and ethos in our times and represents a new breakthrough in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context. The Party has established Comrade Xi Jinping's core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and defined the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. This reflects the common will of the Party, the armed forces, and the Chinese people of all ethnic groups, and is of decisive significance for advancing the cause of the Party and the country in the new era and for driving forward the historic process of national rejuvenation, according to the communique.

Since the Party's 18th National Congress, the Central Committee's authority and its centralized, unified leadership have remained robust and, through revolutionary tempering, the Party has grown stronger, according to the communique.

China's economic development has become much more balanced, coordinated, and sustainable, and the Party has consistently promoted broader and deeper reform across the board.

The Party has actively developed wholeprocess people's democracy and made comprehensive efforts to improve the institutions, standards, and procedures of China's socialist democracy.

The system of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics has constantly been improved, and a sweeping and fundamental shift has been seen in the ideological domain.

The people's lives have improved in all aspects, and the environmental protection endeavors have seen sweeping, historic, and transformative changes.

The people's military has been through an all-around revolutionary restructuring in preparation for the next stage, according to the communique.

The CPC Central Committee has made moves to restore order in Hong Kong and ensure a turn for the better in the region; and firmly opposes foreign interference and maintains the initiative and ability to steer cross-Strait relations.

With regard to foreign affairs, the majorcountry diplomacy with Chinese characteristics has been advanced on all fronts, with the concept of a human community with a shared future becoming a banner leading

trends of the times and human progress, the communique added.

The Party's endeavors over the past century have opened up the right path for achieving rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, enabling China to complete a process of industrialization that took developed countries several centuries in the space of mere decades, and bringing about the two miracles of rapid economic growth and enduring social stability.

The Party has led the people in great endeavors and accumulated valuable historical experience over the past century. This covers the following ten aspects: upholding the Party's leadership, putting the people first, advancing theoretical innovation, staying independent, following the Chinese path, maintaining a global vision, breaking new ground, standing up for ourselves, promoting the united front, and remaining committed to self-reform, said the communique.

It was stated at the session that "to accomplish the Party's mission, we should never forget why we started."

The whole Party must uphold MarxismLeninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Theory of Three Represents, and the Scientific Outlook on Development and fully implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the communique said.

The entire Party must forever maintain close ties with the people and act in line with the people-centered philosophy of development, it added.

The Central Committee calls upon the entire Party, the military, and all Chinese people to rally more closely around the Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, the communique said, vowing to make tireless efforts to realize the Second Centenary Goal and the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.
