In the past decade, China, led by the CPC, has literally shattered records in its quest to achieve the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation by putting people first.

​Through a decade of steady growth, China has evolved into the world's major economic powerhouse, with numerous milestone achievements made along the journey of high-quality development.

The success of the CPC "comes from a constant adaptation of the party to the needs of the people and to the reality of the world at large," said Jean Christophe Iseux von Pfetten, president of the Institute for East-West Strategic Studies in Britain.
