Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 31. On New Year's Eve, President Xi Jinping delivered a New Year's message for 2002 through China Central Radio and Television and the Internet. The full text is as follows:

Hello, everyone! As 2023 is approaching, I would like to extend my best wishes for the New Year to all of you in Beijing!

2022In 2000, we successfully held the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which drew a grand blueprint for building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization, and sounded the clarion call of the times for a new journey.

my country continues to maintain its status as the world's second largest economy, and its economy is developing steadily. The annual GDP is expected to exceed 120 trillion yuan. In the face of the global food crisis, my country's food production has achieved "nineteen consecutive harvests", and the Chinese people's rice bowls have become more secure. We have consolidated the achievements of poverty alleviation, comprehensively promoted the revitalization of rural areas, adopted a series of measures such as reducing taxes and fees to alleviate the difficulties of enterprises, and made great efforts to solve the urgent and anxious problems of the people.

Since the outbreak of the epidemic, we have always adhered to the supremacy of the people and life, adhered to scientific and accurate prevention and control, and optimized and adjusted prevention and control measures according to the times and circumstances to maximize the protection of people's lives and health. The broad masses of cadres and masses, especially medical personnel and grass-roots workers, are not afraid of hardships and persevering. Through arduous efforts, we have overcome unprecedented difficulties and challenges, and it is not easy for everyone. At present, the prevention and control of the epidemic has entered a new stage, and it is still a time of struggle. Everyone is working tirelessly, and the dawn is ahead. If we work harder, persistence is victory and unity is victory.

2022Comrade Jiang Zemin left us in. We deeply cherish his great achievements and noble demeanor and cherish the precious spiritual wealth he left behind. We must inherit his legacy and push forward the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

The long river of history is magnificent, and generation after generation has continued to struggle to create today's China.

Today's China is a China where dreams come true one after another. The Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics were successfully held, and ice and snow athletes galloped on the field and achieved impressive results. The Shenzhou 13, 14, and 15 relays took off, the Chinese space station was fully completed, and our "space home" roamed the sky. The People's Army is celebrating its 95th birthday, and the majority of officers and soldiers are forging ahead on the great cause of strengthening the army. The third aircraft carrier "Fujian" was launched, the first C919 large aircraft was officially delivered, and the Baihetan Hydropower Station was fully put into operation... All this condenses the hard work and sweat of countless people. A little spark, converging into a torch, this is the power of China!

Today's China is full of vigor and vitality. The free trade pilot zones and Hainan free trade port are booming, the coastal areas are actively innovating, the central and western regions are speeding up development, the revitalization of Northeast China is ready to take place, and the border areas are prospering and enriching the people. China's economy is resilient, has great potential and is full of vitality, and the fundamentals of long-term improvement remain unchanged. As long as we are confident and seek progress in stability, we will certainly achieve our set goals. I went to Hong Kong this year and was very pleased to see that Hong Kong will be governed and prosperous. By unswervingly implementing "one country, two systems", Hong Kong and Macao will surely enjoy long-term prosperity and stability.

Today's China, is the national spirit of China. The earthquakes, floods, droughts, wildfires and other natural disasters and some safety accidents that occurred this year are heart-wrenching and sad, but the scenes of giving up their lives for justice and watching and helping each other are touching, and the deeds of heroes will always be remembered in our hearts. Whenever we bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, we will always remember the noble spirit of the Chinese nation that has been passed down for thousands of years and increase our confidence in moving forward.

Today's China is closely linked to the world. This year, I welcomed many old and new friends in Beijing, and also went abroad to talk about China's propositions. The world is not at peace with the accelerated evolution of a century of changes. We have always cherished peace and development, always cherished friends and partners, firmly stood on the right side of history and the progress of human civilization, and worked hard to contribute Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to the cause of human peace and development.

After the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, I went to Yan'an with my colleagues to review the glorious years when the Party Central Committee defeated the rare difficulties in the world during the Yan'an period, and felt the spiritual strength of the older generation of Communists. I often say, hardships, Yuru Yu Cheng. The Communist Party of China has been exposed to wind and rain for a hundred years, and its journey has been difficult and great. We must forge ahead and work hard to make tomorrow's China better.

Tomorrow's China, struggle to create miracles. Su Shi has a saying: "If you make it difficult, you can go far", which means "attack the most difficult place and pursue the most ambitious goal". Although the road is far, the line will come. Although things are difficult, they will be done. As long as you have the ambition of Yugong to move mountains, the perseverance of dripping water through stones, keep your feet on the ground, work hard, and accumulate steps to thousands of miles, you will surely be able to turn the grand goal into a beautiful reality.

Tomorrow's China, strength comes from unity. China is so big that different people have different demands and different views on the same matter. This is normal. It is necessary to build consensus through communication and consultation. More than 1.4 billion Chinese people think in one place, work hard in one place, and work together in the same boat, there will be no things that cannot be done or obstacles that cannot be overcome. one family on both sides of the strait. I sincerely hope that compatriots on both sides of the strait will meet each other and go hand in hand to create the long-term well-being of the Chinese nation.

Tomorrow's China, hope to the youth. If the youth prosper, the country will prosper. China's development depends on the broad masses of young people. Youth is full of vigor, and youth breeds hope. The vast number of young people should cultivate their feelings of home and country, cultivate their enterprising character, and invigorate their youth with an attitude of struggle, so as to live up to the times and the Chinese year.

At this moment, many people are still working hard, everyone is working hard! The bell of the New Year is about to ring. Let's welcome the first ray of sunshine in 2023 with a better yearning for the future.

I wish the motherland prosperity, prosperity and peace! Wish the world peace, happiness and tranquility! I wish you all a happy New Year and all your wishes!

Thank you!
