As the centennial of the Communist Party of China (CPC) approaches, state opinion war machines of the US and some other Western countries have enhanced their attacks on the CPC, trying to distort the international community’s acknowledgment of the CPC’s achievements in leading China to advance. At the same time, they are trying to smear China’s model of development and to damage the international public opinion environment for China. They said the anniversary is “an anxious 100th birthday,” striving to pin labels such as “unstable” and “loss of confidence” in the CPC’s governance. Such rhetoric is ridiculous. It is more like a move to ease the West’s own nerves and to embolden Western elites as their societies are becoming more and more diffident. Currently, is it China or the US together with its allies that are in a state of deep anxiety? Be it in the White House or on Capitol Hill, China is the topic most frequently brought up. Given their focus on China, it seems that everything the US does is aimed at competing with China. Washington is worried that China will become a power that is capable of counterbalancing the US. This is why the elites in Washington keep insisting that they will not allow China to “dominate the future of the world” or to “write the 21st-century rules.” Thus, they want their country to compete with China in many fields. If they really think that socialist China is collapsing, they should just wait for the collapse to take place instead of being in such a hurry. Many US elites and those from other Western countries are obsessed with attacking the CPC. They do so to deceive the people while engaging in egoism. However, China is moving forward steadily and rapidly. It has managed to solve domestic problems and contradictions well. Seeing that China is catching up step by step, these Western elites have become aware that there is something wrong with their old perception of China and that their competition with China in the future could be different. Thus, they become irrepressibly anxious, yet they are reluctant to cease being arrogant. Such elites in the West must be told that they are increasingly decoupled from China’s realities. They are lagging behind the times. Today, Chinese people’s confidence is stronger than ever, and their support and admiration for the CPC is the result of the Party’s achievements accumulated in the past 100 years. Chinese people have become more resolute that the socialist path with Chinese characteristics is the real path leading to strength and prosperity. Their illusion about the West has been dispersed time and again by bare facts. The US’ inability during the COVID-19 pandemic and Washington’s vicious containment of China in the past years have given a lesson to Chinese people: Without the firm leadership of the CPC, the Chinese nation will have no future, and China will be suppressed and bullied by the US and its allies for a long time and even thus be dismembered.
