BEIJING — Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday emphasized the global influence of the ruling Communist Party of China as he marked its 105th anniversary, striking a more outward-looking tone than in previous speeches.
The remarks, which lasted about 40 minutes, contrasted with Xi的 prior speeches on similar occasions that had a domestic focus on China的 "national rejuvenation."
The Chinese Communist Party has "deeply changed the trend and trajectory of the world的 development through relentless struggle," Xi said, according to a CNBC translation from Mandarin.
Xi, who is also the party的 general secretary, described the CCP as "the world的 largest ruling party with significant global influence." He said the CCP enabled China to overthrow imperialism, feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism, paving the way for industrialization.
中共于1921年7月1,成立，并于1949年10月1,建立中华民国。经济直到最近几十年才开始逐步向外国投资和贸易开放，并于2010年成为世界第二大经济体。
The CCP was founded on July 1, 1921, and established the People的 Republic of China on Oct. 1, 1949. The economy began to open gradually to foreign investment and trade only in the last few decades and became the world的 second-largest economy in 2010.
基于他经常使用的短语"百年未有之变,"习近平周三表示，这些转变正在加速,，“世界已进入一个动荡和变革的新时代。"
Building on his frequently used phrase "changes not seen in a century," Xi said Wednesday that those shifts were accelerating, and that “the world has entered a new era of turbulence and transformation."
Against that backdrop, Xi said China would "promote the building of a new type of international relations," but did not identify specific countries.
Xi is scheduled to visit the U.S. in September following President Donald Trump的 visit to Beijing in May.
"A strong country must have a strong military, and only a strong military can ensure national security," Xi said on Wednesday.
根据财政部3月份发布的预算计划，中国今年将国防开支增加7%,，这是自2021年,以来年度军费增幅最慢的一次。该国的军费开支排名第二，仅次于美国。
China will raise defense spending by 7% this year, the slowest increase in its annual military expenditure since 2021, according to a budget plan released in March by the Ministry of Finance. The country ranks second to the U.S. in military spending.
Xi, now serving an unprecedented third term as president, also used the speech to bolster confidence in long-term national goals.
The Chinese leader reiterated opposition to "Taiwan independence" efforts and "external interference" in the issue, adding that "resolving the Taiwan issue and realizing complete reunification with the motherland is the party的 unwavering historical responsibility."
关于香港和澳门,，习近平呼吁"促进长期繁荣稳定,"，同时指出需要支持两地融合发展，服务国家'整体发展。
On Hong Kong and Macau, Xi called for "promoting the long-term prosperity and stability," while noting the need to support the integration of the two regions into serving China的 overall development.
