The international and historical significance of the resolution on the history of the CPC
The “Resolution on the Major Achievements and Historical Experience of the Party over the Past Century”, adopted by the Sixth Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in November 2021, is, rightly, regarded as in the first place an issue for China itself. As the Resolution notes in its first sentence: “Since its founding in 1921, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has remained true to its original aspiration and mission of seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation.”

U.S. seems to have lost its 'flare' for 'liberty'
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. government's message about pandemic control has been erratic, with anti-mask and anti-vaccine rhetoric abounding. Today, the United States, with less than 5 percent of the world's population, has nearly 15 percent of all reported COVID-19 deaths in the world. While the number of new cases continues to rise daily, there are still many politicians and people who oppose wearing masks, claiming that choosing not to wear one is a way to preserve one's "freedom." However, this kind of "freedom" opens the gate to the rampant transmission of the virus.

William Jones: Countries Will Look to China for Sustenance after Emerging from COVID Restrictions
Some of the “wags” in the international financial media are doing some crowing over their conjectured China’s imminent economic demise, pointing to the country’s slowing down in GDP growth in the third quarter (Q3), which stood at 4.9 percent over the same period of last year. It was much slower than the increase of 18.3 percent in Q1 and 7.9 percent in Q2. And they in particular dwelt on China’s Evergrande crisis and recent power shortages. London’s Financial Times trumpets, “China Manufacturing Slows As Property and Energy Woes Hit Economy” while Bloomberg highlights, “China Economy Weakens As Power Crunch, COVID Rules Hurt.” But, as so often has been the case in times past, the oracles of the London-New York financial press are wrong again.
