On August 16, Wang Yiwei, Associate Dean of the Academy of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, researcher of the CPPS and professor of the School International Studies of Renmin University of China published a paper on Financial Times. He argues that through General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech at the ceremony celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), we can understand from the dimensions of time, space and the CPC itself how the CPC has depicted the magnificent scroll of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and explore why the CPC can lead the creation of a new form of human civilization. Specifically, it is to look at tomorrow (the Chinese dream) from the day after tomorrow (the great cause of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation) but not just from yesterday in terms of time dimension. Spatially, the CPC solves human problems in China. From the dimension of the CPC itself, the CPC creates a new form of human civilization. Looking from these three dimensions helps understand the "cultural confidence" emphasized by the CPC and helps achieve an organic combination with the traditional culture and achieve innovative transformation and development. The CPC continues to advance enlightenment and advocates anthropologism which has transcended humanism.

The CPC's leadership is the most essential characteristic and the biggest advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. Only from the height of human civilization and Chinese civilization can we understand why China can achieve the transformation from agricultural civilization to industrial civilization and to digital civilization and create the double miracles of industrial civilization and digital civilization under the leadership of the CPC. This is the most important revelation to understand the centennial history of the CPC.
