习近平主席发表2022年新年贺词：回顾过去，展望未来

China is ready to present a great Beijing Winter Olympic Games to the world, President Xi Jinping has said. In his New Year address to ring in 2022 on Friday, Xi said the world is turning its eyes to China for the upcoming event, and “China is ready”. “We will spare no efforts to present a great Games to the world,” he pledged.

In the address, Xi looked back on the past year, which, he said, was of “exceptional significance” to China. The past year witnessed a country developing rapidly with each passing day, and a country making continual progress, Xi said. Xi recalled the celebration of the centenary of the Party on July 1, “Only through vigorous and determined endeavor can we fulfill our responsibility to history, prove worthy of our times and live up to people’s expectations,” he said.

Xi pointed out that realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will be no easy task that will happen overnight. “We must always keep a long-term perspective, remain mindful of potential risks, maintain strategic focus and determination, and ‘attain to the broad and great while addressing the delicate and minute’.”

He talked about his inspection tours nationwide in the past year, saying “every time I visit people in their homes, I would ask if they have any more difficulties, and I would remember everything my folks have to share with me. To ensure that everyone leads a better life, we must never rest on what we have achieved, and there is still a long way to go.”

He also commended people from all walks of life who made contributions to the country’s development and the COVID-19 response, saying that the hard work and dedication of countless heroes have all added to the great momentum of China’s march forward in the new era.
