Socialism with chinese characteristics
China has been the land of kings since ancient times, many kingdoms were established there and according to an estimate, there were about five hundred kings who ruled from ancient times to the revolution of China, and recognized themselves as a great Nation.
During the time of the kings, the source of power was the king. The people did not have many rights. Even meeting with the kings was beyond the reach of the common man. Not everyone had access to the king’s court. It was impossible for a common man to visit the palaces of the kings. Although the history of China is 5000 years , Chinese society has been influenced by Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism for the past two and a half thousand years. And under the influence of ideas, the Chinese people have embellished their lifestyle. In addition, the Chinese society has learned a lot from other religions, Christianity and Islam. Thus, we can say that the teachings of these great personalities influenced in the lifestyle of the Chinese Nation. The effects are significant which can be observed.
Confucius has the status of the first teacher in China, who taught humanity. Similarly, the Chinese nation learned Ethics and Mind Power from the Buddha and made it a part of their lives. From the thoughts of Taoism, they learned that humans need to achieve perfection in the world and How to prepare himself. Similarly, the golden principles of Islam and Christianity could not remain without affecting their society and personality. These were the thoughts and ideas on which the personality of the Chinese Nation was formed. The Chinese Nation also resisted foreign invasion. When the East India Company, which included Indian soldiers, and the British forces attacked China, these wars are historically remembered as the Opium wars. Although the Chinese Nation suffered at that time, but they learned a lot by the times.
Chinese society began to learn from the ideas of Karl Marx at the same time when they began to see their Emperors as weak compared to foreign forces. After the First World War, the influence of the United States in Asia had also increased. The Chinese Emperor was very weak. During that time, a revolution took place in Russia in the light of the ideas of Karl Marx and socialism was implemented with its full force. Apart from Russia, Eastern Europe, India, Iran and China were also affected by socialism. The world was shocked. The successes of the Russian forces against Hitler in the Second World War further promoted the ideas of socialism.
The establishment of the Communist Party in China was implemented after the Russian Revolution. Initially, there were thirteen core members who made the party stand. This organization, established in Shanghai, faced difficulties from the beginning. Even to organize a meeting, they had to rent a boat and go to deep waters to discuss the important matters. I visited the head office of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai with media delegation on Ist July 2023. When I had the opportunity to learn about the struggle. I was surprised that the Communist Party of China grew up after facing extreme difficulties in the early days. When the party made a successful long march under the leadership of Chairman Mao Zedong and the Revolution began before Long March. China not only Goodbye to the monarchy, but also banished foreign interference from his country and laid the foundation of a free and independent China, which was called the People’s Republic of China.
The Chinese people, who had experiences spanning centuries, had learned a lot from the teachings of Confucius, Buddha and Tao, as well as the thoughts of Islam and Christianity. After that, the ups and downs of political conditions in their country also trained them. Finally, by adapting the ideas of Marxism, Socialism with Chinese characteristics put forward in 1982, China was able to create a revolution. From 1949 to today, the journey of China’s political, economic and social development is the result of the vision of the leadership of China and the hard work of the Chinese Nation.
Chairman Mao, Deng Xiaoping, and today’s leadership, Xi Jinping, have guided the Chinese nation by combining ancient ideas and modern perspectives according to the times and circumstances. In the eyes of the Chinese leadership, the state is more important. It is important to keep the most important sectors under its control and run them successfully. Some people think that the control of the state is too much in China, but I think it is the discipline of the state that makes it possible to control the exploitative forces. .
The current election method of the Communist Party of China is very impressive, under which the people from all over the country participated in it and ultimately the central leadership has been chosen. Along with the socialist ideas, China has given importance to public opinion in democracy. In this way, a strong leadership has emerged from the public opinion, which is supported by the majority of the whole country. The Chinese leadership and the people believe in hard work, this is the secret of their development.
China is currently facing huge challenges in the world. Its development in the political and economic field continues rapidly. The Chinese leadership is playing its role in solving the major political problems of Asia. Similarly, its development in the economic field. The speed has turned it into a great nation in the world. China has not considered its population as a burden, but has considered it as an asset and made it capable and hardworking. This is the reason why its large population has come out of the vicious circle of poverty. It is the vision of the leadership that has determined to spread the development Model of China to other countries and the current President and Secretary General of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping announced the Belt and Road Initiative. The China Pakistan Economic Corridor was announced, the projects of which are being completed rapidly. The social effects of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor projects are also coming to Pakistan and other countries. It is as if China has given a New approach to Modernization. Sharing the success with other Nations is a Community with a shared future for mankind.
The beauty of Chinese society is that wherever good is found, it does not hesitate to make it a part of its lifestyle, and it also has the skill to adapt it to its own style. There is a model that has a combination of ancient and modern ideas, which is active in conveying the fruits of its development to other nations with the spirit of serving humanity. The Chinese Nation deserves tribute for this.
Long Live Pak China Brotherhood.
