Sin Chew Daily published an article with the title "Talking about the China Century", an objective and persuasive analysis of China's peaceful rise. It also said the Communist Party of China (CPC) has made a great contribution to China's development.

The main content of the article is outlined below.

The latest TIME magazine put "The China Century" on its cover. The author of the TIMES article said the US's power is fading whereas China's power is increasing

Sin Chew Daily also said that China's economic development is the fastest in the world and that China has actively participated in foreign affairs since it stepped onto the international political stage. China can only rise peacefully. A war between China and the United States will not happen.

TIME is a renowned US-based magazine. The article reflects many American intellectuals' beliefs about China. It is indisputable that China is playing an important role on the international political and economic stages. It is rational to say the 21st century belongs to China.

Some so-called experts on China, however, continue to have a cautious attitude towards China's rise. They say China's rise is not sustainable, because China's social system is not as good as in Western countries and that sound economic development doesn't equal the comprehensive rise of China.

In fact, China's rise has influenced international affairs. Although there are still many problems to be dealt with, China's economy is increasingly prosperous and its political environment is very stable. China is improving its political system step by step at present. The essence of socialist democratic politics is that the people own the country.

Therefore, any government that acts on behalf of the majority of its people is a democratic one, no matter what kind of party system exists. Even in western democratic nations the income gap is significant. .

China has the largest population of any nation in the world. After dozens of years, China has become a superpower with foreign exchange reserves exceeding US$1 trillion, which is a great achievement. All these achievements contribute to the leadership of China's Communist Party. Especially since China began to open-up and reform, the economy has developed a lot and people's living standards have greatly improved.

The CPC is the core leader of China, and will ensure China continues to rise peacefully.
