Beijing, February 28: In a significant development ahead of its March 1 release, the fifth issue of Qiushi Journal, sponsored by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), will feature an important article by CPC General Secretary, President of China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission Xi Jinping. Titled ‘Let the Desire, Courage, and Ability to Take Responsibility Become the Prevailing Trend,’ the piece draws from Xi’s key statements delivered between December 2012 and December 2025.
The article underscores a timeless truth: nations are built through hard work, not empty rhetoric. Transforming the grand blueprint outlined at the 20th National Congress of the CPC into a vibrant reality demands unwavering commitment and proactive leadership at every level. This new journey is fraught with challenges—major risks, obstacles, contradictions, and hurdles that test resolve. Leaders must cultivate a strong sense of responsibility to navigate these waters successfully.
Xi emphasizes that readiness to shoulder responsibility and take action is not just a political virtue but a fundamental duty of governance. Officials cannot linger in positions without performing duties, seize power without accountability, or chase fame without meaningful contributions. This call to action resonates deeply in China’s ongoing efforts to realize national rejuvenation.
As China strides toward its centennial goals, this publication in Qiushi serves as a clarion call for cadres to embody the spirit of responsibility, ensuring that ambition translates into tangible progress for the people and the nation.
