For a long time the Chinese people were held back from their proper place in the world by the superior industrial and military might of the western powers and their allies, aided by the treachery of the former Chinese ruling classes.
Now that Chinese society has been reformed through the work of the People led by the Party, and China's industry is pre-eminent in all the world, the Chinese nation will be restored to its proper place in the order of things:
- Chinese sovereignty and control over the seas and islands defined by the Nine Dashed Line will be restored.
- The rebel province of Taipei will be restored to its proper place in the bosom of the great Chinese Peoples' Republic.
- Good order and proper discipline will be restored in the misled and unruly province of Hong Kong.
Peace and harmony will prevail, led by the wisdom of the Chinese Communist Party and its visionary leader Xi Jinping.
It's just a matter of looking at things from the right point of view
That is exactly what they believe.
