 | | The outstanding achievements in China's revolution, construction and reform are the results of the joint efforts of the people of all ethnic groups of the country, the results of endless and unremitting efforts made by people with lofty ideals, and also the results of the selfless devotion of generation upon generation of Chinese Communists. | | | Though China is an ancient country with a civilisation of more than five thousand years, it is only after our Party came to power that the people being the real masters of their country, their society and their own destiny has become a reality. | | | The kind of cultural orientation a political party follows and the kind of culture it promotes constitute the party's ideological and spiritual banner. |

| | China's relations with other Asian nations, at first cordial, were affected by China's encouragement of Communist activity within their borders, the suppression of a revolt in Tibet (1959-60), and undeclared border wars with India in the 1960s over disputed territory. | | | In 1971 long-standing objections to the admission of the People's Republic of China to the United Nations were set aside by the United States; that October, Communist delegates were seated as the representatives of all China and, despite the opposition of the United States, which favored a "two-China" membership, the Nationalist delegation was expelled. | | | China is a one-party state, with real power lying with the Chinese Communist party. |

| | Although the Nationalist Party remained in nominal control of most of China, the Chinese Communist Party began to gain an increasing amount of support from the rural population. | | | An attempt by the Chinese Communist Party to establish a stable coalition with the Nationalist Party against the Japanese failed, following the decision of the Nationalist Party to abandon most of northern China and seek a cease-fire with Japan in 1939. | | | Under its leader Mao Zedong, the Chinese Communist Party rejected traditional Communist doctrine, which held that no Communist government could be installed without the support of the population of urban workers. |
