Here are the highlights of this week’s ‘China 5’ newsletter, bringing you 5 big things you need to know about #China each Friday from our experts at the #CenterforChinaAnalysis 🧵👇 🗨️Xi’s National Day Message: #XiJinping addressed a reception in #Beijing on September 30 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Xi’s speech largely echoed his comments during the 100th anniversary of the CCP’s founding in 2021 and those made at the start of his third term at the 20th Party Congress in 2022. This consistency once again indicates his confidence in #China’s domestic trajectory as well as his concerns about its challenging strategic environment. - Lobsang Tsering 📈Beijing Doubles Down on Pro-Growth Agenda: Following the September Politburo meeting, China’s National Development and Reform Commission pledged support to private #entrepreneurs during a roundtable and major banks announced interest rate cuts on housing loans. Years of regulatory crackdowns, a battered property market, and rising debt have eroded confidence, leaving many feeling trapped in the “garbage time of history”—a period of stagnation with little optimism for real change. - Lizzi C. Lee 🚀China Conducts Rare Missile Test: On September 25, #China test-launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (#ICBM) that traveled over 7,500 miles and landed in waters near French Polynesia. While China called the test “routine,” the last time it fired an ICBM into international waters was 44 years ago, in 1980. The missile’s launch and its accompanying public announcement can be interpreted as China sending strong signals to rivals of its #military capabilities. -Lyle J. Morris 🎏2024 China International Confucius Cultural Festival: On September 27, the opening ceremony of the 2024 China International #Confucius Cultural Festival was held in Qufu, Shandong, the birthplace of the Chinese philosopher. Not all international #diplomacy is economic or militaristic in nature, and the festival foregrounds the importance and potency of China’s #softpower. The China International Confucius Cultural Festival is especially effectual as part of the Global Civilization Initiative, announced by Xi Jinping in March 2023- Ian Lane Smith 🇺🇳Wang Yi Addresses the United Nations: Last week, Chinese foreign minister #WangYi gave a speech at #UNGA79 in New York. Although UNGA79 coincided with #ClimateWeek, climate action did not emerge as a primary focus in the discussions. This highlights the increasing challenges imposed on the global #climate agenda in a world distracted by geopolitical turbulence. -Taylah Bland To never miss an update, subscribe to China 5 here: https://lnkd.in/eteSxi32

Former United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon emphasizes the urgent need for #climateaction 🌏👇 "By 2030, we must make sure that at least 43% of global emissions should be reduced by 43%. By 2050, we must have net zero. There's no way this will happen, as had been agreed. I am very much sorry that people have not been working together because the #UnitedStates and #Chinese relationship have been very much strained." 🔗 Watch the full conversation here: https://lnkd.in/ejTKapQD
