Qiushi Journal Issue Preview: No. 19, 2024

An article by General Secretary Xi Jinping on promoting patriotism was published in this year’s 19th issue of Qiushi Journal. 

The article says, patriotism lies at the core of China’s national spirit, serving as a powerful force that propels the Chinese nation forward. Over the past 5,000 years, the reason why the Chinese nation has been able to withstand numerous tests and maintain its robust vitality is that our nation boasts a profound and enduring tradition of patriotism.

Patriotism is concrete and grounded in reality. In today’s China, to promote patriotism, it is essential to have a profound understanding that the CPC’s leadership must be upheld and that socialism with Chinese characteristics must be adhered to. The national policies formulated by the CPC and supported by the Chinese people must be resolutely adhered to over the long term since they take root in Chinese soil, draw on the outstanding achievements of human civilization, and help our country find our own path to national development, the article adds.

The article says that patriotic education must be regarded as an eternal theme. It is imperative to emphasize the integration of patriotism and socialism, safeguard national unity and ethnic solidarity, as well as embrace and perpetuate the rich history and vibrant culture of the Chinese nation. The article also underscores the importance of having the courage to fight and the mettle to win in our efforts to push forward the cause of building China into a great country and achieving national rejuvenation.
