A trip to the Great Road, the world is for the public – Interpretation of the world under the long-term rule of the Communist Party of China

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, August 10 Title: A trip to the great road, the world is for the public – an interpretation of the world under the long-term rule of the Communist Party of China

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Ye Shuhong

  In today’s world development landscape, there are two distinct contrasts: on the one hand, the world’s economic recovery has been sluggish after the international financial crisis, and the Western world has fallen into an unprecedented institutional crisis; on the other hand, China’s economic and social development achievements have been remarkable, indicating a bright future for the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

  The Chinese plan and the Chinese way of thinking have become hot topics around the world. Among many inquiries, American China expert Robert Kuhn has concluded that the key to the Chinese miracle lies in the extraordinary leadership demonstrated by the Chinese Communist Party’s long rule.

  Looking at political parties around the world, only a handful have been in power for more than 30 consecutive years. The Communist Party of China has been in power for 68 years and led the Chinese people to achieve brilliant achievements. It has written a world-renowned "China policy" for the long-term governance of political parties.

  Advanced theory, road fit – advanced theory combined with specific national conditions to explore a path of socialism with Chinese characteristics suitable for its own development

  In 2008, the financial tsunami swept the world. In the same year, according to data from the German publishing house Karditz, sales of "Das Kapital" nearly tripled and were temporarily out of stock. "Rediscovering Marx" has become a new voice in the West’s reflection on the crisis. American economist Robert Heilbroner lamented that to explore the future of human society, we must learn from Marxism.

  Marxism reveals the universal truth of the development of human society. The Communist Party of China has always adhered to Marxism as the guiding ideology and made it the ideological core that unites hundreds of millions of Chinese people.

  From leading the national independence and liberation struggle during the revolutionary period to exploring the road to national prosperity and national strength in the era of reform and opening up, the Communist Party of China has combined Marxism with China’s reality and produced significant theoretical achievements in the sinicization of Marxism.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with the supreme leaders as the core has closely focused on realizing the goal of "two centenary years" and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, raised the flag and oriented, and promoted the overall layout of "five in one" and the strategic layout of "four comprehensive".

  Gennady Zyuganov, chairperson of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, said frankly: "After witnessing China’s development with my own eyes, it is certain that China’s incredible leap-forward development is based on never giving up the direction of socialist development."

  The direction determines the road, and the road determines the fate. In the late 20th century, some countries copied the Western model and transformed their economies with neoliberalism and the "Washington Consensus". The result was political instability and economic recession, and the lesson was profound.

  The Communist Party of China has always represented the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the Chinese people, rather than the special interests of any interest group

  In April this year, Javier Miranda, chairperson of Uruguay’s ruling "Broad Front", led a delegation to the Nujiang River in Yunnan Province to investigate China’s targeted poverty alleviation. He was deeply impressed by the intensity and results of the "Fifth-level Secretary of the Communist Party of China’s poverty alleviation".

  As chairperson of Uruguay’s ruling party for three consecutive terms, Miranda knows the difficulties of long-term governance. "The most important responsibility of the ruling party is to maintain fairness and justice in society. In this regard, the Chinese Communist Party has set an example for ruling parties in other countries."

  Adhering to the people-centered development concept, insisting that development is for the people, development depends on the people, and the fruits of development are shared by the people, and continuously enhancing the people’s sense of gain on the basis of economic development is the key to winning the support of the masses for the Communist Party of China.

  The people are the foundation of the state, which is the traditional Chinese governance wisdom.

  From Mao Zedong’s "Long live the people" to the Supreme Leader’s "The people’s yearning for a better life is our goal", serving the people wholeheartedly and always representing the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people, rather than the special interests of any interest group, is the foundation of the long-term governance of the Communist Party of China.

  Ayken Konurov, secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist People’s Party of Kazakhstan, pointed out: "The political experience of leading cadres of the Chinese Communist Party starts from the grassroots level. They are familiar with the masses, understand the suffering of the people, and always put the interests of the people first. This is the fundamental difference between the Chinese Communist Party and the ruling parties in western countries."

  In today’s world, with rapid economic and social development and changes, emerging classes continue to emerge, and traditional ruling parties are generally facing the challenge of shrinking their social foundation. The positioning of always representing the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people makes the representation of the Communist Party of China unparalleled by other political parties.

  As the ruling party, the Communist Party of China has kept pace with the times to unite and attract advanced elements from all walks of life to join it, better build consensus, and seek the greatest common denominator that the Communist Party of China represents the interests of the people of the whole country. This has enabled the long-term ruling social mass base to be continuously consolidated and expanded.

  Selecting talents and being able to govern the party strictly – the reason why the Communist Party of China can remain invincible is inseparable from its super self-innovation and self-purification capabilities

  Are China’s leaders really better than ours? asks the American "Politics" website.

  Whereas the Chinese Communist Party’s leading cadres are selected through the most rigorous selection process, US lawmakers can enter Congress by grandstanding to voters. After some comparison, the website Politics asked: "Can our elected leaders really meet their standards?"

  An article in the US magazine Foreign Affairs pointed out that the Chinese Communist Party’s cadre selection and election mechanism is based on performance and talent, and its effectiveness "may be beyond the admiration of even the most successful commercial companies."

  Singapore’s founding prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew, once pointed out in his interpretation of China’s development miracle that it is the most outstanding among the more than one billion Chinese who are at the helm of the country.

  The key to good governance is to select the best and appoint the best. The Communist Party of China has always attached great importance to this, and has always regarded the selection and employment of people as a key issue related to the cause of the party and the people. "The key to conducting a great struggle with many new historical characteristics lies in the party and the key lies in the people." This is an important statement of the Supreme Leader.

  Meritocracy can make the Communist Party of China’s organizational body full of vitality, and strict governance of the party endows the body with a strong self-purification force. From the pre-existing disciplinary supervision mechanism to the central inspection work becoming a strategic institutional arrangement for intra-party supervision, the Communist Party of China’s self-supervision efforts continue to escalate, providing a strong institutional guarantee for maintaining organizational purity.

  Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with the supreme leader as the core has insisted on rectifying the four winds, fighting "tigers" and "flies", using the rigidity of "law without exception" and the courage of "strong men breaking their wrists" to stimulate and promote righteousness, so that the people can see the determination and ability of the Communist Party of China to solve its own problems, and the hearts of the party and the people have been inspired.

  Gustavo Girardo, director of the Asia and Argentina Research Center in Argentina, said: "The Chinese Communist Party has a strong ability to self-purify and correct itself. Once institutional loopholes or organizational problems are discovered, measures will be taken to correct them in a timely manner. The strong anti-corruption campaign carried out by the top leader is a good example of the Chinese Communist Party’s courage to self-purify."

  Strategic wisdom and a long-term vision – long-term stability and ambition have enabled the Communist Party of China to develop strategic planning capabilities that are the envy of ruling parties in many countries

  Western-style democratic countries have a long history of internal conflicts. The "government-house dispute" and the "veto game" have caused major policies to be delayed for many years; special interests use lobbying outside the hospital to kidnap decisions; the rise of different political parties to power has brought about national policies "turning biscuits" and causing huge depletion of resources.

  Professor Huang Xianghuai of the Central Party School of the Communist Party of China believes that the West has the term "election economic cycle", but the Chinese Communist Party has ensured the long-term stability of the country’s major policies in its governance practice.

  Thanks to its long and continuous rule, the Communist Party of China has developed a strategic planning ability for economic and social development. The five-year plan for the national economy is the most typical example. From the "First Five-Year Plan" to the "13th Five-Year Plan" to build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, the Communist Party of China has made unremitting efforts for more than 60 years to connect the most ambitious modernization process in human history.

  "Our current system cannot implement something like a five-year plan because we cannot hold politicians accountable," wrote an article reflecting on the western system in Forbes magazine.

  Robert Engel, the US economist and Nobel laureate, said: "While China is making five-year plans for the next generation, the US is only planning for the next election."

  "China is full of confidence in the future because they have planned every step of their way and will not give up the great goal of benefiting all the people. China’s strategic planning is not limited to a five-year plan, and Chinese leaders have put forward two centenary goals for a longer period of time," Zyuganov said.

Is it feasible to end the collection of opinions on the second draft of the wildlife protection law and artificially breed wild animals?

  Red Star Journalist Chen Yifan Du Yuquan

  Editor-in-Chief Deng Guangguang Editor Peng Jiang

  The much-watched wildlife protection law (the second draft of the revised draft) (hereinafter referred to as "the second draft of the draft") closed for comments on October 1. During the period, a total of 3,806 people put forward 12,057 suggestions for revision of the second draft.

  Many experts said that in order to respond to the practical needs of wildlife protection, the second draft of the draft has been refined from the aspects of wildlife use, artificial breeding and heritage resource management, and the punishment for illegal acts has been increased. However, the classification management system of artificially bred wild animals in the second draft still needs to be studied, and the concept of wild animals still needs to be clarified.

  The newly added classification and classification management system for artificially bred wild animals experts said that they should be alert to the theft of "whitewashing".

  Since its promulgation in 1988, the Wildlife Protection Law has undergone four revisions.

  On October 16, 2020, the 22nd meeting of the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) conducted a preliminary review of the revised draft of the Wildlife Protection Law. In August, 2022, the revised draft of the Wildlife Protection Law was submitted to the 36th meeting of the 13th the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) for second instance.

  Yang Heqing, spokesman of the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) Law Commission, said that the second draft has made four major revisions: First, the measures for wildlife protection system have been refined. The second is to link up with the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC)’s regulations on the total fasting of wild animals, and increase the punishment for illegal acts. The third is to improve the prevention and control mechanism of wildlife damage. The fourth is to establish a classified management system for artificially bred wild animals.

  Qin Peng, deputy dean of the Graduate School of Chongqing University and director of the Research Center for Ecological Rule of Law of Chongqing University, believes that "overall, the second draft of the draft has strengthened the thinking of risk management and control, and set many prohibitive regulations, hoping to provide effective support for wildlife supervision through full chain supervision."

  According to People’s Daily Online, on August 30th, the 36th meeting of the 13th the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) reviewed the revised draft of the Wildlife Protection Law. Some members of the Standing Committee, departments, localities, experts and scholars, enterprises and the public suggested that the specific measures to prohibit and allow the breeding of wild animals should be clear, and it was suggested that differentiated management should be implemented according to the purpose and use of artificial breeding, reflecting the principle of classified and graded management. Therefore, on the basis of the first draft, the second draft of the draft also establishes a classified management system for artificially bred wild animals.

  As stipulated in the second paragraph of Article 25 of the second draft, the artificial breeding of wildlife under special state protection shall be subject to a licensing system. Artificial breeding of wildlife under special state protection shall be approved by the wildlife protection departments of the people’s governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, and an artificial breeding license shall be obtained, except as otherwise provided by the State Council for the approval authorities.

  The third paragraph of Article 25 also stipulates that artificial breeding of terrestrial wild animals with important ecological, scientific and social values (hereinafter referred to as "three-owned animals") shall be filed with the wildlife protection department of the people’s government at the county level.

  Civet cats, bamboo rats, etc., which are well known to the public, all belong to "three animals". Compared with the first draft, it is stipulated that the artificial breeding of "three animals" should be approved by the wildlife protection department of the county-level people’s government and obtain the artificial breeding license. In the second draft, the artificial breeding of "three animals" was changed to the filing system, which caused concern.

  The wildlife conservation organization "Let Migratory Birds Fly" issued a document pointing out that the new version of the draft list of "Three Animals" in National Forestry and Grassland Administration in 2021 includes nearly 1,800 species of animals. If the filing system is implemented, the legal cost of illegal breeding will be extremely low. In addition, there are also voices that not prohibiting the artificial breeding of wild animals will only make more people continue to hunt and breed wild animals for profit.

  The domestication and reproduction of wild animals have long cycle, high cost and low success rate. In contrast, the huge profits that can be obtained by "washing white" stolen animals and then changing hands will be more attractive to related enterprises.

  According to Xinhua News Agency, some breeding enterprises and zoos will try to cover up the origin of the illegally caught wild animals, and then use their own wild animal domestication and breeding licenses and wild animal management and utilization licenses to go through legal procedures under the guise of "self-breeding" and successfully "wash white".

  Zhou Jinfeng, Secretary-General of China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (hereinafter referred to as "Green Development Association"), suggested that "the national principle does not advocate any form of commercial breeding of wild animals, strict control measures should be implemented in countries where commercial breeding of wild animals is necessary, and the species of wild animals should be gradually reduced" should be added to the second draft.

  Zhou Jinfeng believes that it is necessary to optimize the wildlife protection management system and severely crack down on the behavior of "washing white" called artificial breeding for trading and eating; Reasonably learn from the experience of the ongoing reform of the pollutant discharge permit system, and establish and improve a unified national wildlife permit system as soon as possible; It is necessary to clarify the responsibilities and authorities of relevant departments at central and local levels, appropriately expand the authority of "wildlife protection authorities", increase the "management" function, and establish and improve relevant coordination principles and joint law enforcement mechanisms.

  The revised draft responds to the parrot case. What is the concept of wild animals needs to be clarified.

  Another major revision of the second draft is to respond to the previous "parrot case".

  In 2017, Shenzhen man Wang Peng was sentenced to five years in prison for "illegally selling precious and endangered wild animals and their products" for buying and selling artificially bred parrots. The act of "buying and selling artificially domesticated and bred parrots" is included in the scope of the crime of illegally selling precious and endangered wild animals. In March 2018, the Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court made a second-instance judgment, arguing that the original sentence was too heavy and sentenced Wang Peng to 2 years’ imprisonment. On May 16th of the same year, Wang Peng was released from prison. The case was a sensation, which triggered a heated discussion among legal scholars and the public.

  Many voices think that it is unreasonable for the judgment to equate artificially bred individuals with wild populations. In addition, some media combed and found that in 21 cases from 2015 to 2017, 32 people were convicted of violating the Criminal Law for buying and selling parrots, and were sentenced to sentences ranging from suspended sentences to 11 years.

  In the past five years, "parrot cases" have occurred from time to time. Red Star News previously reported that at the end of April 2018, the owner of an aquarium shop in Jiangxi bought 8 parrots and 4 myna from a flower and bird shop, and was later sentenced to 2 years in prison for illegally purchasing and selling endangered wild animals.

  On August 26th, 2022, Yang Heqing, spokesman of the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) Law Commission, said, "This is actually a question of how to better manage exotic species. The second review draft of this revised draft clearly manages the wild animals in the list of relevant international conventions in accordance with the relevant provisions of this law, instead of managing them according to the national key protected wild animals before the amendment. This is also a major adjustment made by this amendment. "

  Qin Peng, vice president of the Graduate School of Chongqing University and director of the Research Center for Ecological Rule of Law of Chongqing University, believes that the establishment of a hierarchical management system for artificially breeding wild animals is conducive to reducing the occurrence of "parrot cases".

  Paragraph 1 of Article 37 of the second draft stipulates that the list of wild animals or their products whose trade is prohibited or restricted by international conventions to which People’s Republic of China (PRC) is a party shall be formulated, adjusted and published by the State Administration for Import and Export of Endangered Species. The wild animals listed in the first paragraph of this article shall be managed in accordance with the relevant provisions of this law with the approval of the competent department of wildlife protection in the State Council.

  However, at present, the protection of wild animals is only aimed at the wild animals included in the List of National Key Protected Wild Animals, the Appendix of CITES, the List of Three Owns and the Lists of Local Key Protected Wild Animals (hereinafter referred to as the List).

  Zhou Jinfeng believes that this management of the List will make other species outside the List not protected by national laws. "The protection of the List is ok, but this is only a part. Be sure to add that everything that should be protected outside the Catalogue must be protected, whether it is habitat or species. "

  He suggested that the legal definition of "wild animals" should be clarified in the second draft, and the protection of wild animals should be changed from key protection to universal protection. "It is necessary to make a clear definition of wild animals, so that it is easy to distinguish between wild animals in natural environment and native environment and some differences between artificially domesticated and bred wild animals. With the legal definition, all our work, including some laws and regulations, will make corresponding institutional arrangements because of the legal definition. "

  Take catching earthworms with electrical equipment as an example. According to Red Star News, wild earthworms have become scarce after years of catching.

  On July 8, 2020, the Green Development Association filed a public interest lawsuit against three home appliance enterprises in Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province. The Green Hair Association believes that these businesses provide unspecified users with the opportunity to exterminate earthworms, which destroys the ecological balance of the soil in the earthworm habitat. Excessive hunting of earthworms will also bring irreversible damage to the ecological environment, and their actions have constituted environmental infringement. On August 12, 2021, the Intermediate People’s Court of Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province sentenced three enterprises to compensate for economic losses of about 1.59 million yuan and published an apology statement in the national media. Due to dissatisfaction with the first-instance judgment, three companies appealed to the Guangdong Provincial High Court. On February 17, 2022, the Guangdong Higher People’s Court upheld the original judgment in the second instance.

  Zhou Jinfeng said that according to the current "Wildlife Protection Law", earthworms are not within the scope of protection. "But in reality, a large number of extinct capture of earthworms by motors did occur, and earthworms have a very important ecological role in soil safety."

  He suggested that the Wildlife Protection Law should move from key protection to universal protection. "Our protection doesn’t mean that we only protect it and don’t use it at all, but how to regulate interests under the protection."

  Improper release behavior is frequent, and specific measures need to be formulated for the release of wild animals.

  In addition, the second draft of the draft also proposed that the competent department of wildlife protection be authorized to formulate specific measures for release.

  Improper release behavior is one of the main ways of alien species invasion. According to Red Star News, the news that exotic species Crocodile Eel frequently appears in urban communities or parks has been widely concerned by the society. The reporter’s investigation found that alligator eels were sold as ornamental fish on the online platform, and the alligator eels that appeared in many lakes were probably the result of buyers’ free release.

  China’s relevant laws and regulations have clear legal provisions on improper release. When the Wildlife Protection Law was revised in 2016, the requirement of "harmlessness" was put forward. Any unit or individual who releases wild animals into the wild environment should choose local species suitable for wild survival in the released areas, and must not interfere with the normal life and production of local residents and avoid doing harm to the ecosystem. Anyone who releases wild animals at will, causing personal or property damage to others or endangering the ecosystem, shall bear legal responsibility according to law.

  The 11th Amendment to the Criminal Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC), which came into effect on March 1st, 2021, added the criminal responsibility of "illegally introducing, releasing or discarding alien invasive species, if the circumstances are serious", and sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, with or without a fine.

  Regarding how to regulate improper release in practice, Qin Peng said that the division of relevant responsibilities is clearly stipulated in Article 7 of the second draft, and daily law enforcement can be carried out according to this Article and existing administrative practice. At the same time, the provisions also set a special responsibility for fines, and gave the special rule-making power to the wildlife protection department. "The subsequent system regulations will become more and more detailed, and the specific situation will wait for time to test."

  In addition to managing the improper release behavior itself, Chen Juanli, director of northwest university of politics and law Animal Protection Law Research Center, also wrote an article suggesting that supervision should be strengthened from its related pre-and follow-up links. Including setting clear prohibitive clauses for both parties to e-commerce platform transactions and setting certain regulatory responsibilities for e-commerce platform operators. Strengthen the licensing system for the introduction of alien species and the entry quarantine system to curb it from the source.

  Qin Peng told the Red Star journalist that, on the whole, the second draft of the draft has comprehensively responded to the actual needs of wildlife protection, and its framework structure and specific content are relatively complete. "At the same time, in order to optimize the quality of the second draft, I think we can refine the provisions on compensation for wildlife damage, and we can also promote the insurance pilot work of compensation for wildlife damage through incentives."
