entered a new stage in which it has restored order and is set to thrive.
We promoted the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater

Bay Area and supported Hong Kong and Macao in developing their economies,
improving living standards, responding to Covid-19, and maintaining stability.
We implemented the Party’s overall policy for the new era on resolving the
Taiwan question and resolutely fought against separatism and countered

interference. We continued efforts to promote the peaceful development of
cross-Strait relations.
We conducted major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics on all
fronts. President Xi Jinping and other Party and state leaders visited many

countries and attended, online or offline, many major diplomatic events, including
G20 summits, APEC economic leaders’ meetings, high-level meetings
commemorating the 75th anniversary of the United Nations, the East Asia leaders’
meetings on cooperation, and China-EU summits.
China also hosted a number of major diplomatic events, including the Qingdao

Summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, the 14th BRICS Summit, the
High-Level Dialogue on Global Development, the first and second Belt and Road
forums for international cooperation, and the Beijing Summit of the Forum on
China-Africa Cooperation.

With courage and ability to stand our ground, we resolutely safeguarded
China’s sovereignty, security, and development interests. We actively expanded
global partnerships, worked to build an open world economy, safeguarded
multilateralism, and promoted the building of a human community with a shared

future.
As a responsible major country, China played significant and constructive
roles in enhancing international Covid-19 cooperation and addressing global
challenges and regional hotspot issues, thus making important contributions to

global peace and development.

Fellow Deputies,
We owe our achievements in these five years to the strong leadership of the
Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, the sound guidance

of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era,
and the concerted efforts of the whole Party, the armed forces, and Chinese people
of all ethnic groups.
