Saint Petersburg, June 7 /Sin Hua/ — On the eve of the 29th Petersburg International Economic Forum in Saint Petersburg, the presentation of the first volume of the book “State Governance of China under Xi Jinping” in Russian took place. About 100 representatives of mass media, analytical centers, and government bodies of China, Russia, and other countries participated in the ceremony.
Participants of the event noted that the first volume demonstrates the outstanding wisdom and practical experience of the Chairman of the CPC in the field of state governance, his deep concern for the people. The book presents China’s management experience, including ensuring policy continuity through strategic planning, stimulating modernization through reforms and innovations, as well as consolidating spiritual and national revival based on confidence in one’s own culture. All this has important inspiring significance.For the countries of the Eurasian region, which are undergoing a process of transformation in development and geopolitical changes, the Chinese practice of combining long-term goals, people’s welfare, institutional efficiency, and openness to the outside world serves as an important guide for achieving independent, stable, and sustainable development.
As noted by Associate Professor Ravshan Nazarov of the Tashkent branch of the G.V. Plehanov Russian University of Economics, in the first volume of the book “State Governance of China under Xi Jinping,” the theoretical and practical achievements of the Chairman of the CPC in the field of state governance are clearly and systematically presented. “The idea of organizing the development of the state based on long-term strategic planning has particular significance.”The book shows that the path of modernization of contemporary China relies not on short-term political goals, but on national strategies consistently implemented over decades. Such an approach contributes to ensuring stability and continuity in state governance,” he said.
According to the scientist, an important place is occupied by the principle of putting the interests of the people at the center of state policy. “Reduction of poverty, improvement of the population’s standard of living, enhancement of the quality of education and medical services are reflected as important results of China’s social development,” — emphasized R. Nazarov.
The head of the Russian editorial office of the Tajikistan TV channel’s information programs, Karim Khaidar, stated that the biggest impression on him was made by Xi Jinping’s sequence in promoting the idea of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, attention to the welfare of the people, and the aspiration to combine China’s internal development with the strengthening of international cooperation.
“It is especially worth noting his consistent advancement of the course towards comprehensive modernization of the country and strengthening its socio-economic potential. Over a relatively short historical period, China has achieved outstanding results in improving the living standards of the population, developing infrastructure, science, technology, and education. This testifies to the ability of strategic planning to transform into concrete achievements that are of great significance for millions of people,” said K. Khaydar.
The orientalist, associate professor of Moscow State Linguistic University Said Gafurov noted that the first volume of the book presents the discussions and practical actions of the CPC leader on the implementation of the Chinese dream. “When Chairman Xi Jinping talks about the ‘great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,’ in the West they are used to interpreting this as an ambition, sometimes as a threat. But for me, something else is more important here: China has offered the world a non-liberal language of happiness,” said the expert.
According to him, the “Chinese dream” is not individual success or accumulation; it is the connection of personal well-being with the national project, with history, with responsibility to ancestors and descendants. “In this sense, the Chinese discourse is much closer to the Russian, Soviet past than to contemporary European or American narratives about human rights without mention of obligations,” believes S. Gafurov.
The rector of Saint Petersburg State University of Economics Igor Maksimtsev noted that the Chinese experience, summarized in the first volume, represents a significant interest for Russia and other countries primarily due to its complexity and effectiveness. “Theoretical views of Si Zhipin provide a justification for the fact that modernization does not require blind copying of Western or other foreign templates.”Simultaneously with a deep study of global experience, national specificity is taken into account, relying on its own identity and culture, rejecting the pursuit of GDP as the sole measure of success in favor of high-quality development and the well-being of the people — that is what makes the Chinese model attractive, he said. — For Russia, which throughout its history has also always preferred its own sovereign path of development, these are the guidelines that should be studied most closely.
The editor-in-chief of the newspaper “Delovoy Kazakhstan,” Serik Korzhumbaev, stated that in the first volume, principles such as the leading role of the Communist Party of Kazakhstan (CPK), strategic planning, orientation towards the people, long-term reforms, and the ability to combine national tradition with modern development tasks are especially noticeable. “For Kazakhstan, this experience is primarily interesting as an example of how a country can consistently form its own modernization model, relying on national characteristics, stable institutions, long-term programs, and the social responsibility of the state,” he believes.
As noted by the director of the Azerbaijan Center for the Study of Global Initiatives, Development and Culture of China Emin Gasimov, the book consistently traces the idea that the PRC should not only become an economically strong country, but also carry out comprehensive modernization — economic, social, technological, cultural, ecological, military, and institutional. “Therefore, the political course of Chairman Xi Jinping has not a short-term, but a civilizational-strategic character,” the expert emphasized.
Analyst of the Belarusian Institute of Strategic Studies Anastasia Savinova believes that the book is not just a work about contemporary Chinese politics, but an important work that allows understanding how the Communist Party of China interprets its own path of development in the new era. “The edition is interesting in that it is not limited to an abstract presentation of ideas, but demonstrates the ideology and improvement of the quality of state governance through real practice, the fight against poverty, industrial modernization, the development of science and technology, strengthening party discipline, and the activation of foreign policy.”This is especially important because Chinese political thought in the new era is built not around slogans, but around the connections of “idea — institution — result,” he said. The first volume allows a foreign reader to better understand why China places such a strong emphasis on strategic planning, continuity of course, political centralization, and cultural identity, noted A. Savinykh.
