2018年CRI China's development poses no threat to others: President Xi

 

President Xi Jinping has said China's development does not pose a threat to any other country.

Addressing the closing meeting of the annual session of the National People's Congress, the Chinese President also said any actions and tricks to split China are doomed¹ to fail.

Xi Jinping says China will stay on the path of peaceful development, and continue to pursue a mutually beneficial strategy of opening up.

He notes that China advocates that all issues in the world should be settled through consultations² with people around the world.

The Chinese President made the remarks when addressing nearly 3,000 deputies in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, at the closing meeting of the first session of the 13th National People's Congress.

"China will by no means seek development at the expense of other countries. China's development will not pose threat to any other country, and we will never seek hegemony or engage in expansion. Only those who are used to threatening others will regard everyone around them as a threat."

He says China will continue to promote the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative and strengthen communication and cooperation with other countries, so as to make its reform and opening-up policy benefit mankind.

The President has also reiterated³ good will in pursuing the peaceful reunification of the Chinese nation.

"We should adhere to the one-China principle, uphold the 1992 Consensus⁴, and push cross-Strait relations toward peaceful development. We should expand economic cooperation and cultural exchanges, share the mainland's development with Taiwan compatriots to boost their welfare and promote the peaceful reunification of our nation."

Xi Jinping's remarks comes after U.S. President Donald Trump⁵ signed a Taiwan-related bill that encourages visits between the United States and the island at all levels.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry⁶ says the Chinese side has lodged⁷ stern representations with the United States over the bill.

In his speech, President Xi has said no attempt to split the Chinese nation will ever succeed.

"Safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial⁸ integrity is the common aspiration⁹ of all sons and daughters of the Chinese nation. It is also in the fundamental interest of the Chinese nation. In the face of the greater national interests and historical trend, any actions and tricks to split China are doomed to fail, and will face the condemnation¹⁰ of the people and the punishment by history."

He says the Chinese people have the resolve, confidence, and ability to defeat secessionist attempts of all forms.

Xi Jinping was unanimously re-elected as Chinese President by nearly 3,000 deputies to the National People's Congress on Saturday.

The Newly-elected Chinese President has vowed¹¹ to continue performing his duties as a servant of the people.

"It is a glorious mission and profound responsibility to take on this great position of the President of the People's Republic of China. I will, as always, faithfully fulfill¹² my responsibilities empowered by the Constitution, be loyal to the motherland and people, perform my duty scrupulously¹³, do all my best, work diligently¹⁴, and stay devoted¹⁵ and dedicated¹⁶. I will continue to be a servant of the people, accept supervision¹⁷ by the people, and will never betray the great trust from all deputies and Chinese people of all ethnic¹⁸ groups."

The President has asked all personnel of state organs to always put the people in the most prominent place in their hearts, always serve the people wholeheartedly, and always work hard for the people's interests and happiness.
