The upcoming 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) will fully summarize China's major achievements and valuable experience gained in its reform and development endeavors.
It will also formulate programs of action and overarching policies to meet China's new development goals on the journey ahead in the new era and the new expectations of the people.
The world is keeping a close eye on how the week-long meeting will map out a blueprint for China's growth, and how the country will further contribute to world peace and development.
Achievements in new era
Since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, China has made historic achievements and shifts in economic and social development, successfully promoting and expanding a Chinese-style modernization. Over the past decade, the CPC has led the Chinese people in striving for this great success, demonstrating the strong vitality of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Speaking highly of China's great achievements in the past 10 years, overseas experts and observers have expressed their high expectations for China's bigger role in global affairs after the 20th CPC National Congress, which is expected to write a new chapter for socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
The past decade was extremely extraordinary for China as the country has achieved significant success in its development, said Xulio Rios, director of the Observatory of Chinese Politics in Spain.
China has eliminated extreme poverty and made remarkable achievements in such fields as science and technology and environmental protection, Rios said. He added that as China's role in global affairs becomes increasingly important, the global society has great expectation for the 20th CPC National Congress.
Ehecatl Lazaro, researcher of Mexican Center for Economic and Social Studies, said that under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, China has become one of the countries with an important influence on the international economic, political and social development in the 21st century.
The decisions made at the 20th CPC National Congress will have great significance for the whole world, including Latin America, Lazaro said.
Noting that the upcoming meeting will review the CPC's valuable experience in state governance, Randy Alonso, director general of popular Cuban website cubadebate.cu, said that the experience will not only help embark on a new journey for China's growth, but also continue to push for world development.
He said China's vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind, and the Global Development Initiative (GDI) and the Global Security Initiative (GSI) proposed by the country will remain important in international cooperation and global governance.
Reviewing China's achievements in the past decade, Tang Zhimin, director of China ASEAN Studies at the Bangkok-based Panyapiwat Institute of Management, highlighted China's adherence to the people-centered development philosophy, the eradication of poverty for nearly 100 million rural residents, the building of the world's largest education system, and social security and healthcare system.
He said these achievements have made China a model in developing countries, adding that with the 20th CPC National Congress around the corner, ASEAN countries are highly interested in how China's future economic and social progress will bring more certainty to global development.
Positive influence
The 20th CPC National Congress will envision the two-step strategic plan for building China into a great modern socialist country, with a focus on outlining strategic tasks and major initiatives for the next five years. The congress is expected to bring more benefits to the people of China as well as the rest of the world.
The Chinese "seem serene even if they are very busy," said French international affairs expert Bruno Guigue. "In my eyes, the serenity of the Chinese people is the tangible expression of their material and spiritual success."
Guigue said socialism with Chinese characteristics is in line with China's national conditions, adding that he will focus on China's plan to further promote high-quality development at the upcoming CPC national congress.
As the world now faces great turbulence and turmoil, China is bringing hope for developing countries via the joint construction of Belt and Road, said William Jones, Washington bureau chief of the U.S. publication Executive Intelligence Review.
"The path charted by China at the upcoming 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will be decisive in determining the direction the world takes," Jones said.
The world is looking forward to the upcoming meeting, because China will unswervingly promote its high-quality development and firmly strive for a strong modern country, said Luis Antonio Paulino, a professor at Sao Paulo State University.
At the same time, China's vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind and the GDI will continue to promote an early realization of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the Belt and Road Initiative(BRI) will continue to drive the development and prosperity of developing countries, including Latin American countries, the professor said.
China's new guidelines to be unveiled after the CPC national congress will not only shape the future of China, but also promote the development of the world, said Joseph Matthews, a senior professor at the BELTEI International University in Phnom Penh.
From the Belt and Road Initiative to the vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind, China has provided a clear blueprint for global development, which has a transformative effect on both Asia and the world, he added.
