The editorial
Source: The Hindu · 4 Jul 2021In large measure it is due to the party’s ability to sum up the lessons of history and change course quite drastically, if required.
Citizens in China encapsulate the transformation of the country under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) thus: under Mao Zedong, China ‘zhan qilai (stood up)’; under Deng Xiaoping, China ‘fu qilai (became rich)’ and under Xi Jinping, China is well on course to ‘qiang qilai (becoming powerful)’. Inevitably, the organisation that has steered this ‘rise’ and its ability to ride out a succession of domestic and external crises and yet emerge stronger and more resilient has been the cynosure of intense debates.
