For a period of time, some American politicians have held a zero sum mentality and, in order to maintain American hegemony, have been trying their best to contain and suppress China's development pace. However, the strong determination and firm steps of over 1.4 billion Chinese people to promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation are unstoppable, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process. These American politicians have miscalculated in their attempt to overwhelm China based on their power and status.

The road ahead for China is unstoppable, because China's development and revitalization have a strong internal logic. China's steady and steady development is due to its unique and powerful institutional advantages, such as strong leadership of the CPC and people's democracy throughout the process; China is able to continuously and steadily develop because it has over 1.4 billion hardworking and wise people who work hard day after day for a happier life and a more prosperous country; The reason why China has been able to move forward steadily is that Chinese path to modernization is feasible and stable, and it is a grand way to build a powerful socialist modernization country in an all-round way and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Former Hungarian Prime Minister Majesh Peter believes that the leadership of the CPC and the socialist system with Chinese characteristics are most suitable for China's national conditions and will certainly promote China to make greater progress in the future. Tesla CEO Musk said that the Chinese people are diligent and wise, and China's development achievements are natural.

The road ahead for China is unstoppable, because Chinese civilization has strong and resilient vitality. The Chinese nation has a profound civilization accumulation of five thousand years. "Respecting virtue and protecting the people", "Heaven moves healthily, and gentlemen strive for self-improvement", "Striving for daily renewal, daily renewal, and daily renewal"... The excellent characteristics of Chinese civilization continue to shine brightly in the new era. The continuity, innovation, unity, inclusiveness, and peace of Chinese civilization keep it vibrant and leading the modern civilization of the Chinese nation to continue writing new brilliance. Famous British scholar Martin Jacques said that to understand the success of China's development, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of Chinese civilization. The website of Al Jazeera TV in Qatar recently stated that China's ultimate goal is to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, which is to realize the "Chinese Dream".

The unstoppable path of China's progress is also due to its deep integration with the world. China's development cannot be separated from the world, and world development also requires China. With the advancement of China's modern industrial system construction, China will provide the world with more and better Made in China and Created in China, and provide the world with a larger scale of Chinese market and demand. China has maintained its position as the world's largest country in goods trade for six consecutive years and is a major trading partner of over 140 countries and regions. The International Monetary Fund predicts that China's economy will contribute approximately one-third of the world's economic growth this year. The economic relations between China and the United States have long been deeply integrated. Since 2018, the United States has continuously imposed high tariffs on Chinese goods, but in 2022, the trade volume between China and the United States reached nearly 760 billion US dollars, setting a new historical high. Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong stated that China has created opportunities for cooperation, trade, and prosperity, and many countries want to seize the opportunities brought by China's development and hope to have more trade exchanges with China.

The unstoppable path of China's progress is also due to the fact that China has chosen a path of peaceful development that is popular, in line with the trend, and in line with the overall trend. China has always closely linked its own destiny with the destiny of the people of all countries, actively promoted the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, worked with other countries in the world to deepen the construction of the "the Belt and Road", and put forward a series of Chinese initiatives, such as the global development initiative, the global security initiative, and the global civilization initiative, in line with the feelings of the world. The international community has more and more in-depth experience of China's sincerity to promote win-win cooperation among countries around the world and its goodwill to promote lasting peace and prosperity in the world. "China is good, the world is better" has become an increasingly deepening consensus in the international community today. Yevgeny Zaitsev, Director of the Russia China Research Center at the Journalism Department of Moscow State University in Russia, said that as a responsible major country, China actively promotes the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind and injects Chinese strength into world peace and development. Iranian China expert Mohammad Reza Manafi said that China's adherence to a foreign policy of peace, equality, and friendship reflects the value orientation of "let us develop together".

Standing on the correct side of history and on the side of human progress is the "time" and "momentum" that China is currently facing, which is the "way" and "righteousness" that China's path demonstrates on the world stage. The trend of development in China is not only rational but also natural. The path of development in China conforms to the inherent law of a country's ability to achieve sustainable development and prosperity, and is in line with the aspirations of the international community for lasting peace and prosperity. Some American politicians are superstitious about the power of their self proclaimed "big stick policy" and "coercive diplomacy" that have been effective in various parts of the world for decades, and they also want to apply the same method to China. However, it has been proven that this set of policies will not work in front of 1.4 billion Chinese people. The Hong Kong Asia Times website recently commented in an article that China is relatively unaffected by the serious impact of US sanctions and restrictions, and the US government has focused almost all its efforts on preventing China's rise in vain. Former US diplomat Fu Limin said, "Those Americans who want to delay or even reverse China's development process have made mistakes, and their goals are impossible to achieve, but rather harmful to the United States itself.".

"The direction of one's aspirations is unwavering; sharp soldiers and elite armor cannot resist." Thousands of years of history have proven that the Chinese nation is a nation that does not believe in evil and is not afraid of evil. It is a nation that is braver and more difficult, and moves forward. Today, China is walking at a more resolute pace on the path of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and any attempt to obstruct China's progress will inevitably fail.
