China has confidence, capability to meet new goals, create greater miracles: spokesperson

Special: 20th CPC National Congress

The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) will envision the two stages toward building a great modern socialist country in all respects and set out strategic tasks and major measures for the next five years, a spokesperson said Saturday.

"We have the confidence, resolve and capability to meet new goals and create greater miracles on the way forward," Sun Yeli, spokesperson for the congress, told a press conference.

China had lifted all of its 98.99 million impoverished rural residents out of poverty by the end of 2020. "This had never been achieved in the Chinese history, and it is a miracle in the human history as well," he said.
