The speech by Xi, also Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, will be published in this year's 14th issue of the Qiushi Journal, a flagship magazine of the CPC Central Committee. Over the past 105 years, the Party has united and led the people of all ethnic groups across the country in unremitting struggles, which fundamentally changed the future and destiny of the Chinese people, blazed the right path to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, demonstrated the robust vitality of Marxism, profoundly influenced the course of world history, and forged a strong CPC, according to the speech. It points out that the fundamental reason the CPC has been able to continuously achieve new successes over the past 105 years lies in its unique fine qualities, unmatched by any other political party or political force. To fulfill the Party's mission on the new journey in the new era, all Party members must stay confident and make unremitting efforts to continuously create new achievements worthy of the times and the people's expectations, according to the speech. "The Party's glorious 105-year history is a source of pride, but we must never become complacent or rest on our laurels," says the speech. All Party members must rely closely on and lead the people of all ethnic groups across the country to strive in unity for new historic achievements, it adds.
