"Given China's past economic condition and the current complicated international situation, China's achievements are hard-won. We should be proud of these accomplishments, from which every one of us has benefited. In the process of making these achievements, we have encountered setbacks and challenges, all of which are the foundation of the Chinese dream," said Zhou Mingwei, President of the China International Publishing Group (CIPG) and CPPCC National Committee member.

The Chinese dream is the aggregate wish of generations of Chinese people and a vivid depiction of the country's future, said Zhou. "By telling the world about their dreams, Chinese people wish to clear up misunderstandings, and seek common prosperity and progress with other nations through more cooperation," he said.
