BEIJING, Aug. 2 -- President Xi Jinping's speech, delivered at a high-level workshop in late July, issued a call to action to achieve the country's two centennial goals and build a modern socialist country.

The speech contains new requirements and new arrangements on realizing the country's first centennial goal -- building a moderately prosperous society in all respects by 2020 to celebrate the CPC's centenary.

In the speech, Xi also offered ideas for realizing the country's second centennial goal -- building a modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious by the middle of the 21st century in time for the centenary of the People's Republic of China.

Since ancient times, building a moderately prosperous society, or Xiaokang, has been an ideal for the Chinese people.

In the beginning of the reform and opening up in the late 1970s, late leader Deng Xiaoping first used the term moderate prosperity to describe a modern society with Chinese characteristics.

Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the CPC Central Committee with Xi at its core has adopted an overall approach for economic, political, cultural, social and ecological progress, and pushed the "Four Comprehensives," a four-pronged strategy to create a moderately prosperous society in all respects, deepen reform, advance rule of law and strengthen Party governance.

The CPC has firmly implemented the development concept and pushed the country to proceed in a fairer and more sustainable way with better quality and more efficiency.
