Direct News: The delegations from outside Beijing who attended the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China arrived in Beijing one after another, and the opening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China entered the final countdown. Mr. Guan, what do you have to observe this?

Special Commentator Guan Yao: I noticed that the last sentence of the communiqué of the Seventh Plenary Session of the 12th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued on Wednesday (12th) was expressed in this way, and it was fully prepared for the convening of the 20th National Congress of the Party. As the delegations outside Beijing arrived one after another, more than 2,200 representatives who carried more than 96 million Communist Party members across the country reported to the conference. This also means that the "Twenty National Congress" has officially started and everything is ready. China and the whole world are holding their breath, staring at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on the morning of the 16th, waiting to listen to the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to solve all the question marks.

Today Xinhua News Agency also published a telegram of news that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a symposium for non-party members solicited opinions on the report of the 20th National Congress. Xi Jinping presided over and delivered an important speech. When talking about the drafting of the report, the General Secretary particularly talked about three general requirements, which is to adapt to the common wishes of the whole Party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country, to meet the development requirements of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and to adapt to the new situation and new tasks of the work of the Party and the country. So what new situations and tasks are we facing in the new era, what new expectations and demands are the people, and what new ideas, strategies and measures will the ruling party come up with? In summary, how to draw a development roadmap for a great power in the next five years or even longer periods in the new era and new journey? The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will provide a systematic and comprehensive answer.

In addition, the General Secretary has pointed out many times that "as the largest party in the world, our party must look big," so what is the "big look" of the largest party? For the outside world, the Party Congress , which is once every five years, is the most authoritative and intuitive observation window. Of course, it not only concerns the direction and development of the country and the ruling party, but also the vital interests of every family and everyone. "I must remember what the people worry about; I must do what the people hope for." This is the firm commitment of the leaders of the great power in their New Year's greetings. The meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee held on August 30 to study the preparations for the Seventh Plenary Session of the 20th National Congress, and to deploy the next stage of work. One of the key points is to continue to steadily promote common prosperity. How to implement "solid promotion" is reflected in public policies, and it relates to every household and everyone's wallet. Therefore, the "Twenty Days" are closely related to each of us.

A noteworthy detail is that today's Xinhua News Agency telegraph shows that the symposium was held on August 31, which is the second day after the Politburo meeting studied the preparations for the Seventh Plenary Session of the 10th CPC Central Committee and the 20th National Congress. This symposium itself is undoubtedly part of the preparations for the 20th National Congress. It is a process of drafting the 20th National Congress, which has the most important weight in the political agenda of the people's democracy in the whole process.

Direct News: The communiqué of the Seventh Plenary Session of the 12th of was also the focus of attention of media at home and abroad. Some Hong Kong media have particularly noticed that the report mentioned the Ukrainian crisis response for the first time. What do you think about this?

Special Commentator Guan Yao: The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is generally regarded as the largest "black swan event" in 2022 by the international strategic community. Its impact and impact are of course not limited to Russia and Ukraine. International energy security and food security have been greatly impacted. Now the European continent is undoubtedly the worst-hit area. Inflation is stronger than the tiger, which has caused a series of social turmoil. The scale of the rescue fund, which mainly stabilizes residents and industries, has reached a huge 200 billion euros. Against this background, we can understand more deeply the analysis and judgment of the external situation by the communiqué of the Seventh Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee.

The communiqué has two analysis and judgments on the external situation, using the two words "complex and severe", but the order is different, but the sense of crisis is still coming.The communiqué talked about the past year, and the use of expressions was a "complex and severe international environment". When summarizing the five years of work in the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, there are also the following statements: the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core judged the situation, uphold the truth and innovated, dared to fight and be good at fighting, and united and led the whole Party, the whole army, and the people of all ethnic groups in the country to effectively respond to the severe and complex international situation and the huge risks and challenges that followed. The communiqué clearly mentioned that China properly responds to the risks and challenges brought about by the Ukrainian crisis. Given that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is still continuing, it is not even ruled out that there will be further out of control and escalation, once the risk cost and spillover costs of war continue to rise, how to more effectively coordinate development and security, maintain strategic determination, and firmly grasp my country's development and security initiatives is undoubtedly an important focus of the outside world on the Twenty Reports.

Speaking of " black swan ", we cannot ignore the other corresponding keyword "gray rhino". State Councilor and Minister of Foreign Affairs . Wang Yi recently delivered a speech at the New York headquarters of the Asian Association, a well-known think tank, during his speech at the New York headquarters of the Asian Association, a wonderful metaphor when talking about the Taiwan Strait issue came out of the circle: the Taiwan issue is the core of China's core interests, and the "Taiwan independence" is rushing towards us, and it should be resolutely stopped. To deal with huge risks and challenges such as "gray rhino" and "black swan", and to grasp the dangers and opportunities brought about by the complex and severe external situation under the great changes that have not been seen in a century, what does a great country rely on? The General Secretary clearly stated that relying on tenacious struggle to open up new worlds for career development is to do our own things well.

As the communiqué points out, we must resolutely safeguard national security, prevent and resolve major risks, and vigorously promote the modernization of national defense and the military. Air Force spokesperson Shen Jinshi, University of Science and Technology, talked about the decade-long changes in the Air Force of the Great Power. He said this: With a new sword that can fly far and a backbone that can fly out, in the past ten years, we have flew routes that have not been flown before, and to an area that has not been visited in the past. I think this is the confidence we have to subdue the "gray rhino" to deal with the "black swan", and it is also the confidence, and it is a real hard-core kung fu.
