Sep 30

CCTV reports the September 30 evening reception at the Great Hall of the People for the PRC's 77th anniversary, with Xi Jinping speaking, Li Qiang presiding and about 800 Chinese and foreign guests. It airs Xi's greetings and thanks, and relays his claims about China's development, stability and governance. He calls for reform, development and security coordination, better livelihoods, annual economic goals and a strong start to the Fifteenth Five-Year Plan. The account retains his one-country, two-systems, Hong Kong and Macao integration and cross-Strait cooperation positions, opposition to Taiwan independence and outside interference, and appeal to implement four global initiatives. It concludes with attendees and celebratory toasts. His assessments and pledges remain attributed.

In his September 30, 2026 anniversary address in Beijing, Xi Jinping says China has made progress in implementing the Fifteenth Five-Year Plan and that its economy shows resilience despite pressure. He calls for progress with stability, reform and opening, coordination of development and security, higher-quality growth, better livelihoods, fulfillment of annual tasks and a good start to the plan. These are his assessment and policy commitments, not newly completed economic outcomes. CCTV's October 1 and October 2 response accounts add officials' and residents' endorsements and pledges to work on livelihoods, scientific self-reliance, railway building, reform, harvests and conservation in the plan period. These directly respond to the economic-policy statement; they do not verify new national economic results or completed implementation.
