Hu Jintao's 2019 New Year message

Ladies and gentlemen, comrades, friends:

The bell of the New Year is about to ring, and the curtain of 2019 is about to open. In this beautiful moment of resigning the old and welcoming the new, I am very happy to pass the China Radio International, the Central People’s Broadcasting Station and the CCTV to the people of all nationalities in the country, to the compatriots of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macao Special Administrative Region, the Taiwan compatriots and the overseas Chinese. Friends of the world, to the blessing of the New Year!

2019 is a very important year in the history of the People's Republic of China. The people of all ethnic groups in China solemnly celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and are extremely proud of the development and progress of the great motherland. They are determined to continue to push forward the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics at a new starting point. In the face of the severe impact of the international financial crisis, the people of all ethnic groups in China have strengthened their confidence, faced difficulties, united the people, and overcome the difficulties. They insisted on maintaining stable and rapid economic development as the primary task of economic work, and coordinating the growth and ensuring people's livelihood. To ensure the stability of all work, the overall economic recovery has been improved. China's reform, opening up, and socialist modernization have achieved new and remarkable achievements. People's lives have continued to improve and the society has maintained harmony and stability. China actively participates in international cooperation on issues such as the international financial crisis and climate change, expands exchanges and cooperation with countries around the world, and has made new contributions to world peace and development.

2019 is the last year of China's implementation of the 11th Five-Year Plan. In the new year, we will unswervingly hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, take Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thinking of the 'Three Represents' as the guide, thoroughly implement the scientific development concept, and maintain the continuity of the giant economic policy. Stability, continue to implement a proactive fiscal policy and a moderately loose monetary policy, focus on improving the pertinence and flexibility of policies in light of new situations and new situations, pay more attention to improving the quality and efficiency of economic growth, and pay more attention to promoting the transformation of economic development mode and economic structure. Adjustment, pay more attention to promoting reform and opening up and independent innovation, enhancing the vitality and motivation of economic growth, paying more attention to improving people's livelihood, maintaining social harmony and stability, paying more attention to coordinating the two major domestic and international situations, striving to achieve steady and rapid economic development, and continuing to promote the comprehensive construction of a well-off society. Social process. We will adhere to the principle of "one country, two systems", "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong", "Macao people governing Macao" and a high degree of autonomy. We will work together with Hong Kong compatriots and Macao compatriots to maintain Hong Kong and Macao's long-term prosperity and stability. We will adhere to the principle of "peaceful reunification, one country, two systems", firmly grasp the theme of peaceful development of cross-strait relations, strengthen cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, and better serve the compatriots on both sides of the strait.

The world today is in a period of great development, great change and great adjustment. The world's multi-polarization and economic globalization have developed in depth, and the impact of the international financial crisis continues to emerge. Global issues such as climate change, energy resources, and public health security are prominent, and international and regional hotspot issues are on the rise. To continue to advance the lofty cause of peace and development of mankind requires the people of all countries in the world to strengthen cooperation and help each other. I would like to take this opportunity to solemnly reiterate that China will hold high the banner of peace, development and cooperation, abide by the foreign policy objectives of safeguarding world peace and promoting common development, and always follow the path of peaceful development and always pursue an open strategy of mutual benefit and win-win. We will continue to develop friendly cooperation with all countries on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, continue to actively participate in international cooperation in dealing with the international financial crisis and climate change, and work with people of all countries to promote a harmonious world of lasting peace and common prosperity.

At this moment, on the planet we live together, there are still many people suffering from the sufferings of war, poverty, disease, natural disasters and so on. The Chinese people deeply sympathize with their unfortunate situation and will continue to provide them with the help they can. I believe that with the unremitting efforts of the people of all countries in the world, world civilization will continue to develop and human well-being will continue to grow.

In 2019, the World Expo with the theme of “Better City, Better Life” will be held in Shanghai, China. We warmly welcome friends from all five continents to share this grand event and jointly write a new chapter to enhance mutual understanding and friendship.

Finally, I wish you all a happy and happy life in Beijing from the new year!
