Yemeni politician: Governance thoughts a landmark of growth process in socialism

Those who want to know about China might be interested in understanding how the Communist Party of China is leading the Chinese people in realizing national rejuvenation in the new era, based on what the country has achieved in comprehensive national strength and global influence.

And Ali Albakali, president of Renaissance Movement, a political party in Yemen, has found clues to the answer in the book Xi Jinping: The Governance of China.

After reading the book, on the governance philosophy of Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, Albakali said that not only has the CPC bolstered the prosperity of China over the past decades, but it has also promoted world peace and development.

Xi has said on many occasions that to understand China, one must learn to understand the CPC. With the 18th National Congress of the CPC in 2012, socialism with Chinese characteristics entered the new era, a hallmark seen as the new historic juncture in China's development.

Albakali said Xi's governance philosophy is a landmark in the development process of socialism, and it offers solutions to the pressing problems and challenges the world is facing.

Led by Xi, the CPC, the world's largest ruling political party, has put the common value of humanity at the core of its governance philosophy instead of being limited to China's own development, he said.

With the resolution of the common problems that confront the whole world as its mission, China, under the leadership of the CPC, is very different from some countries that exercise unilateralism and bullying in their relations with other countries, Albakali added.

"Particularly, since the COVID-19 pandemic started, China has provided medical supplies and vaccines to other countries as support for the rest of the world in fighting the virus," he said.

"With concrete actions, China has sent a strong message to the world that the country led by the CPC stays committed to promoting the development of the whole of humanity and building a world where people from all countries live a happy life and where they work together to secure shared development."

China has honored its commitment to making the Chinese-developed vaccines a public good for the world. It is the world's largest provider of COVID-19 vaccines, and has provided over 2.1 billion doses to more than 120 countries and international organizations, accounting for one-third of all anti-COVID vaccines administered outside China. The majority of these vaccines have been provided to developing countries.

Xi announced in January that China will provide a further 1 billion doses to African countries — 600 million will be given as donations and the other 400 million will be provided through joint production between Chinese and African countries. In addition, China will donate 150 million more doses to member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

Abdel Salam Moussa, media coordinator for Lebanon's political party the Future Movement, said that internally, the CPC serves China's national development and rejuvenation; and externally, it promotes the Belt and Road Initiative and advances the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

"The CPC has constantly readjusted its strategies in bolstering China's domestic development and foreign relations so that they could meet the aspirations and interests of the Chinese people. I think that's the underlying reason for China to make huge achievements in its development and become a very influential player on the global stage," Moussa said.

Arab countries, including Lebanon, want to learn from China's development model and the CPC's governance philosophy, he said.

In addition to the country's socioeconomic growth, the Chinese democracy, described by Xi as whole-process people's democracy, has also attracted broad attention. China maintains that its whole-process people's democracy enables the Chinese people to broadly and continually participate in day-to-day political activities at all levels, including democratic elections, political consultation, decision-making and oversight, covering the greatest number of people in the most effective way.

Salah Adly, general secretary of the Egyptian Communist Party, said that through whole-process people's democracy, China has told the world that democracy has different forms, and that there is no one-size-fits-all model.

Democracy is not the privilege of Western countries, and it belongs to all people around the world, Adly said, adding that every country has the right to develop its democracy in line with its national conditions, cultures and traditions.

Albakali, the Yemeni political party leader, also expressed his appreciation for China's whole-process people's democracy, saying he agrees with General Secretary Xi's proposition that democracy should be developed according to a country's national conditions.

He criticized Western countries that tried to impose the Western-style democracy on Middle Eastern countries, including Yemen, Iraq, Libya and Lebanon, and he said that ultimately, they undermined democracy in those countries and jeopardized peace and stability in the region.

外国政党看中国——新时代的中国共产党将如何引领中国再创辉煌

中国日报北京3月17日电 习近平总书记指出，读懂今天的中国，必须读懂中国共产党。新时代的中国共产党将如何引领中国再创辉煌并在国际事务中发挥更大作用？一些阿拉伯国家政党领导人和智库学者从《习近平谈治国理政》中找到了答案。

也门复兴运动主席阿里·巴卡利近日在接受记者采访时表示，他认真研读了《习近平谈治国理政》一书，习近平总书记提出的治国理政思想在社会主义的发展进程中具有里程碑意义，中国特色社会主义在意识形态上是科学社会主义。他认为，习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想是真正着眼于解决全世界面临的问题的重要思想。巴卡利表示，以习近平总书记为核心的中共中央真正把全人类共同价值融入到治国理政当中，把解决人类面临的共同问题作为自己的使命，把全人类的追求作为自己的追求，与个别国家倡导并极力推广的单边主义、霸权主义是截然不同的。“尤其是在新冠肺炎疫情期间，中国为各国提供大力支持，无论是医疗物资还是疫苗援助，中国的举动都在向全球发出强有力信号，即中国共产党致力于促进全人类发展，构建一个各国人民幸福生活和实现共同发展的世界。”巴卡利说。

黎巴嫩未来阵线媒体事务书记阿卜杜萨拉姆·穆萨曾经在2013年和2019年两次访问中国，目睹了中国在经济社会发展领域所取得的成就。他向记者表示，中国共产党作为中国的执政党始终把人民利益放在第一位，坚持与时俱进；中国特色社会主义道路是独一无二的，它实现了马克思主义基本原理同中国具体实际相结合。穆萨认为，中国共产党对内服务于国家民族的发展利益，对外提出了“一带一路”倡议，推动构建人类命运共同体，得到中国人民和国际上很多国家人民的拥护和欢迎，这也是中国取得巨大发展成就和国际地位提升的根本原因。他说：“我认为中国在发展过程中实现了国内发展和对外政策的不断调整，与中国人民的期待相结合，与中国人民的利益相结合，中国的发展模式和治国理政经验是值得我们阿拉伯国家去学习和借鉴的。”

阿尔及利亚民族解放阵线党领导人、国民议会副议长费塔斯·本莱克哈勒表示，他十分赞赏中国在中国共产党领导下取得的进步和现代化成就。他认为，中国共产党始终心系人民并着力改善民生，将人民视作一切成就的力量源泉，这种理念值得各国政党学习。

埃及共产党总书记萨拉赫·阿德利表示，中国以全过程人民民主的生动实践向世界证明了民主没有单一形式，每个国家都必须根据自身的国情和传统来发展民主实践，以实现本国人民的全面可持续发展。“民主不是西方国家的专利，更不是美国的特产，它属于全世界人民。”萨拉赫说，在失衡的国际话语体系下，要发出这样的声音并非易事，但中国通过“一带一路”倡议和人类命运共同体理念，始终致力于促进世界的和平与发展。

也门复兴运动主席阿里·巴卡利也高度评价中国的全过程人民民主，认为中国式民主比西方的民主价值观更加的广泛，是有助于维护社会的长期稳定和发展的。“我非常赞赏习近平总书记关于支持各国根据本国国情来发展民主实践的观点。因为我们世界各国的政治、历史、文化背景都不尽相同，必须根据本国的政治、文化背景来发展具有本国特色的民主。”巴卡利批评个别国家在中东地区输出所谓的民主模式，认为把自身的民主强加给中东地区，通过扶植一些所谓的宗教少数派来破坏也门、伊拉克、利比亚、黎巴嫩等国家的民主发展，实际上破坏了地区的和平与稳定。

在近日由中共中央对外联络部通过视频方式面向阿拉伯国家政党媒体智库举行的“新时代的中国共产党”主题交流会暨“讲好民主与发展的故事”研讨会上，中共中央对外联络部部长宋涛就新时代的中国共产党究竟是什么样的政党，要成就什么样的事业，与世界构建什么样的关系等问题进行了深入阐述。他表示，党的十八大以来，中国特色社会主义进入新时代，这是中国发展新的历史方位。新时代的中国共产党，坚持人民至上，不断满足人民美好生活需要；坚持中国道路，不断开创中国之治新局面；坚持人民当家作主，不断推进中国民主理论、制度、实践创新，开创了人类政治文明新形态；坚持胸怀天下，不断为人类进步作出更大贡献。（来源：中国日报）

共叙友好交往 凝聚发展智慧

日前，中共中央对外联络部通过视频方式同阿拉伯国家政党媒体智库举行“新时代的中国共产党”主题交流会暨“讲好民主与发展的故事——政党媒体智库的责任与作用”研讨会。来自16个阿拉伯国家的18个政党和12家媒体智库约50名代表热烈交流，分享他们眼中中国共产党带领中国人民取得的伟大发展成就，共叙友好交往，凝聚发展智慧。

“我曾在2013年和2019年两次访问中国，亲眼见证了在以习近平同志为核心的中共中央领导下，中国取得日新月异的发展成就。”研讨会上，黎巴嫩未来阵线媒体事务书记、官网负责人阿卜杜萨拉姆·穆萨提及两度来华经历。他表示，中国共产党始终胸怀天下，致力于提升民众福祉，在摆脱贫困、实现可持续发展、抗击新冠肺炎疫情等领域取得举世瞩目成就。

“我通过研读《习近平谈治国理政》，了解到中国在政治、经济、社会等领域取得的巨大发展成果。”也门改革集团领导人、副议长穆赫辛·巴西拉表示，中国坚持和发展中国特色社会主义，结合实际情况制定发展规划，为解决当今世界面临的问题提供借鉴。中国是推动世界共同发展的重要力量。“中国的发展充分证明，各国根据本国实际推动发展是可行的。”

埃及共产党总书记萨拉赫·阿德利认为，在习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想引领下，中国开创了高质量发展的新局面。中国加强理论创新，不断推进马克思主义中国化，坚持实事求是，为各国发展提供经验智慧。相信中国将取得新的更大成就。

巴勒斯坦法塔赫媒体和文化部负责人哈立德·苏莱曼认为，在不断深化改革开放的过程中，中国着力构建高水平社会主义市场经济体制，经济取得长足发展。

阿拉伯中国之友作家和新闻媒体人士国际联盟成员、伊拉克媒体人巴哈·曼尼亚表示，中国共产党始终牵挂着人民，致力于改善民生。经过8年持续奋斗，中国如期完成新时代脱贫攻坚目标任务，目前正向实现共同富裕不断迈进。

与会嘉宾纷纷表示，希望同中国进一步加强沟通，深化合作。

“疫情防控期间，中国积极同各国开展抗疫合作，为全球团结抗疫提供有力支持。”阿尔及利亚民族解放阵线党领导人、国民议会副议长本莱克哈勒表示，中国共产党致力于推动构建人类命运共同体，实现人类共同发展和繁荣，世界各国人民都将从中受益。

沙特研究和知识交流中心研究员米天一表示，近年来中国同阿拉伯国家合作进一步深化，特别是可再生能源和替代能源、金融及卫生领域的合作蓬勃发展。

阿联酋战略研究中心战略研究和科研部主任阿迪勒·桑古尔表示，中国是阿联酋主要贸易伙伴之一，阿联酋很早就开始同中国合作进行5G基础设施建设，并将中国的人工智能技术应用到智慧城市建设、基建管理、交通信号系统、空气质量监测系统等诸多领域，两国全面战略伙伴关系不断深化。

毛里塔尼亚争取共和联盟副主席瓦格夫表示，期待与中国共产党进行更多合作和经验交流，深化两国和两国人民友好，不断推动经贸、医疗卫生、基础设施等各领域务实合作。（来源：人民日报）
