General Secretary of CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping stressed in a recent interview with the media, "We are proud but not complacent." Xi's words are very instructive and are a part of the spirit of 18th CPC National Congress.
In recent years, some people in China always want to make a challenge to the guideline of " keep a low profile and bide our time, while also getting something accomplished " proposed by Deng Xiaoping, saying that China should abandon the low profile as it has become the world's second largest economy. It is indeed the mentality of a "nouveau riche."
These people do not really understand the meaning of the sentence. "Keeping a low profile," means being modest and prudent, rather than arrogant and complacent. Like a person, a state should also be practical, realistic, modest and prudent, rather than domineering and making enemies everywhere.
Deng Xiaoping was a man of great wisdom and he was far-sighted to propose the guideline of "keep a low profile and bide our time, while also getting something accomplished." Deng had predicted that China would be faced with a thorny path in rising. Foreign countries show doubts about China's adherence to the road of peaceful development. The rise of China means the rise of 1.3 billion people, which certainly will break the current pattern of interests and draw attention of international community.
In addition, China must face up to the reality that the world has deep prejudices toward China, a country led by the Communist Party. In this case, the arrogant and domineering attitude will bring greater difficulties to the rise of China.
Keeping a low profile is very wise and can stand the trial. An important reason for the smooth development of China in the past 30 years is the guideline of "keep a low profile and bide our time, while also getting something accomplished."
Keeping a low profile does not mean doing nothing. Solving the domestic affairs of China well is beneficial to both Chinese people and the world.
Keeping a low profile and being modest and prudent also mean abandoning the attitudes and actions of a major power and treating all countries equally, which is a trump card in Chinese diplomacy.
In a word, the diplomatic guideline of "keep a low profile and bide our time, while also getting something accomplished" is a precious legacy left by Deng. The spirit of 18th CPC National Congress is to unswervingly go on the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics created by Deng.
