２１世纪是崭新的世纪，中国在２０世纪最后的２０年获得了前所未有的发展速度，那么２１世纪初中国的发展前景如何呢？这不仅是中国人自己所关心的，而且是全世界都关心的。２１世纪是否是亚太地区的世纪、是否是太平洋的世纪？中国的发展势头起着举足轻重的作用。中共总书记 The 21st century is a brand new century. China has enjoyed an unprecedented rate of development in the last 20 years of the 20th century. So what is the development prospect of China in the 21st century? This is not only the concern of the Chinese people themselves, but also the concern of the whole world. Whether the 21st century is a century in the Asia Pacific region, is the century of the Pacific? China’s momentum of development plays a decisive role. CPC General Secretary
