Guangzhou, Dec 1, 2025 – Bright lights and big ideas filled the halls of the 2025 Understanding China Conference, themed "New Plan, New Development, New Choices – Chinese Modernization and New Vision for Global Governance." Over 800 participants—including politicians, entrepreneurs, and scholars—have gathered to explore how the Chinese mainland's unique path to modernization can shape a shared future. 🌏✨
On Monday's opening ceremony, Li Shulei, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and head of its Publicity Department, delivered a keynote packed with insights. He highlighted how, since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Chinese mainland has pushed forward through theoretical innovation and practical breakthroughs.

"After years of growth, this conference has become one of the globe's most influential platforms to understand the Chinese mainland," participants noted.
