As July 1 marks the centenary of the Communist Party of China, more than 1,300 congratulatory messages had been received from abroad as of Sunday, according to a senior official.

The messages are from over 150 heads of state and government as well as more than 200 leaders of political parties, Guo Yezhou, deputy head of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, told a news conference in Beijing on Monday.

Among the messages, political parties of some countries expressed their congratulations in the form of adopting political resolutions, he noted.

Parties in some countries have even overcome their own political differences, holding meetings and jointly signing congratulatory messages in order to highlight their bipartisan consensus that they are friendly to China, Guo added.

At present, the Party maintains regular contact with more than 560 political parties and political organizations in more than 160 countries. "We have friends all over the world," Guo said.

Amid the raging COVID-19 pandemic, the CPC has provided medical supplies and other materials to more than 200 political parties in more than 70 countries, and it mobilized China's nongovernmental organizations to provide support to more than 60 countries, Guo said.

The Party also introduced in a timely manner China's experience and practices in fighting COVID-19 and in boosting recovery to more than 400 political parties and political organizations in more than 140 countries.

"It can be said that the Party's foreign affairs work shows the sense of duty of a major party and enriches the connotation of a community with a shared future for mankind," Guo said.

The dual-circulation development paradigm, in which domestic circulation is the mainstay and domestic and foreign markets support each other, will serve as the "China approach" of promoting economic globalization, a senior official said.

"Building the new development paradigm is a kind of 'China approach' and 'China contribution' for deepening economic globalization and realizing common prosperity of all countries, amid profound and complex changes in the international environment," said Han Wenxiu, an official with the Central Committee for Financial and Economic Affairs.

China will provide different economies with larger market space and more cooperation opportunities under the new paradigm, injecting impetus into the global recovery and sustained growth, Han said.

Though taking domestic circulation as the basic foothold for economic development, the paradigm by no means indicates that China will give up international cooperation, Han said.

Instead, it means that China will open up in a wider range, further harmonize domestic standards with global practices, and attract high-end global talent, knowledge, technology and management experience, so that the international circulation will boost the domestic counterpart, he said.

In building the new paradigm, China will uphold supply-side structural reform as the main task while continuously expanding domestic demand. Specifically, more efforts will be made to boost the recovery in consumption and strengthen the employment-first policy, he said.

China's economic recovery has remained unbalanced, Han said. The country will make policy support more targeted and offer more aid to small and medium-sized enterprises.
