KEEPING THE CHINIESE DREAM ALIVE
In 2012, (13) years passed, when the People’s Republic of China’s President Xi Jinping conceived and introduced the concept of the Chinese’s Dream, he retrospect about the narrow path China had passed in order to reach this far in the global space of gains China has made over the years.
He came to realization that China as a nation-State has made tremendous and admirable progress in the global market space.
China that could not adequately feed her growing number of citizens and provide job opportunity for them is now a giant in manufacture and technology sector. Today, the inspirational vision of the Chinese leader has now make life bearable and convenient for citizens of the third-world nations.
The Chinese Dream is a global vision that impacts the world, especially African nations, where China has huge investment portfolio.
XI Jinping knows that the thought of Chinese needed to be directed and guided towards the promotion of patriotism and nationalism in the expansion process of her foreign direct investment portfolio.
The Chinese leader projected and forecasted the direction of the nation 13 years ago when he delivered the dream at the National Convention of the Communist Party. The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation aim is to make China a prosperous, strong, and civilized country by 2049. It merges national rejuvenation with individual well-being, emphasizing collectivism, economic growth, military strength, and socialist ideology.
There are key aspects of the Chinese Dream that cannot be overly emphasized that has been captured by His Excellency Xi Jinping
When Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China conceived the idea about the Chinese Dream, he is referring to building China into a top global power in economy, politics, and military, overcoming a "Century of Humiliation".
This concept or philosophy of the Chinese Dream was not just mere pronouncement; instead, the government of China had shown political good will. All Chinese have rolled up their selves to work very harder to ensure that China is made one of the places of luxury in Asia and the world at large.
The philosophy is built on four pillars. Under pillar one, when Xi Jinping talked about strong China in the dream, he meant for China to build advanced technological, military, and economic power.
Pillar two, he also mentioned Civilized China. By this he envisioned how culturally rich, equitable, and fair society china would be.
Pillar three, he also spoke about Harmonious China, in which Social unity and reduction of class conflict in China is stressed. He envisioned Beautiful China with high environmental standards and low pollution.
Individual Happiness has become the hallmark of the vision. The dream represents the personal aspirations of Chinese citizens for better livelihoods, improved education, and stability.
The "Two Centenaries" Goals are achieving a "moderately prosperous society" by 2021 (100th anniversary of the CCP) and becoming a "modern socialist country" by 2049 (100th anniversary of the PRC) is a vision.
It is essential to recognize the global role China continues to play. China has portrayed or shown herself as a peaceful development strategy, often expressed through initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative, aiming to create win-win scenarios globally.
The Dream emphasized collectivism versus individualism. Unlike the Dreams of other nations that are individual focus, the Chinese Dream is collective, urging citizens to link their personal dreams to national success.
The concept is a core element of Xi Jinping's ideology, designed to maintain Communist Party authority while fostering a positive, proactive global image.
The Chinese Dream is a vision for China's future that was articulated by Chinese leader Xi Jinping in November 2012.
The Chinese Dream is a global aspiration because most Chinese people won't forget the humiliation that China has suffered in history and it has left a deep scar on Chinese.
Today, Chinese have collectively managed to overcome the troubling time of humiliation and is recognized as one of the industrious nations of the world.
