🚨As part of One China policy, 🇨🇳 would support #Taiwan 🇹🇼 on climate policy implementation. This shows again how 🇨🇳 sees the interlinkages between climate & geopolitics! National security now part of every aspect - including global climate action!

“There has been misunderstanding about the new pattern of devt that is focused on the domestic economy & features positive interplay b/t domestic & intl economic flows”.

It's wrong to think that by focusing on the domestic economy #China will scale back its opening-up efforts or even turn to a "self-sufficient economy".
Economic globalization has become an irreversible trend. China is already deeply integrated into the global economy and the intl system, and the industries of China and many other countries are highly interconnected and interdependent.

To build a modern socialist country in all respects, We must, first and foremost, pursue high-quality dev't. Dev't is our Party's top priority in governing and rejuvenating #China.

This part of the report has won the longest lasting round of applause. I was overwhelmed with the burst of enthusiasm and aspiration. And I also share their strong feelings.
The voice is from the bottom heart of Chinese people. #20thPartyCongress

"Resolving the #Taiwanquestion is a matter for the Chinese, a matter that must be resolved by the Chinese. We will continue to strive for peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and the utmost effort, but we will never promise to renounce the use of force,
and we reserve the option of taking all measures necessary. This is directed solely at interference by outside forces and the few separatist activities; it is by no means targeted at our Taiwan compatriots."
General Secretary Xi Jinping had just finished his 2 hour long speech at the opening session of the 20th Party Congress...🧵

In the speech he literally covered all aspect of Chinese society
The breadth of speech is so large, it couldn't fit into the 2 hour long session, unless it was delivered in a bullet point form, where only the important points were raised

Which makes the Western media's narrative of President Xi controlling everything and China being a one man dictatorship all the more laughable
So, here is Xi Jinping giving his speech at the #20thPartyCongress. How many American or Indian pundits and politicians are watching this? Probably zero.
The refusal to understand one another is the root cause of all geopolitical problems.

After Xi’s speech, read Western media and you will see the ignorance and hubris. No mainstream media will report the specifics of the speech.
Nothing about China’s plan for development.
Instead, it will be recycled cliches — authoritarian gov, Xi is the next Mao blah blah.

Speeches of Chinese leaders are “boring,” while Indian/American leaders give exciting speeches! Why?
In a democracy, politicians need the attention & love of an average person. Thus, the speeches are emotional.
“Make America Great Again”! Woohoo!! 🎉
