To commemorate the anniversary, flags and other allegorical decorations were placed in public places and residential buildings.
Earlier, Chinese President Xi Jinping and other leaders of the country paid tribute to the martyrs of the Asian giant at the monument dedicated to them in Tiananmen Square, the political center of this capital.
The President also hosted a banquet where he reviewed China’s achievements and the challenges the country faces.
Addressing the accredited diplomatic corps and other senior government and Communist Party officials here, Xi advocated a new conception of national development that would enable the country’s modernization and fulfill the goal of comprehensive national revitalization.
He warned of the challenges facing the Asian giant in an international context of intense transformation.
“We must prevent major risks, promote comprehensive opening up to foreign countries, deepen reforms, promote high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative and build a more resilient economy,” he stressed.
Xi urged to increase employment, consolidate the fight against poverty and solve other problems affecting the people.
“We think about promising horizons, unity is strength and trust is worth more than gold. We must lift our spirits to overcome difficulties and move closer together to the great goal of building a strong country and revitalizing the nation,” he said.
The President insisted on applying the “one country, two systems” policy and, in this sense, supporting Hong Kong and Macau in developing their economies.
In addition, he emphasized adherence to the one-China principle and in this context emphasized that the reunification of the country is the people’s greatest desire: “It is a historical necessity and no power can stop it.”
Xi Jinping assured that in these 74 years, China has developed from a poor country to a prosperous country in all respects that is striving for modernization.
As confirmed, the Chinese economy shows “good growth dynamics” and the overall situation of society remains stable.
On October 1, China celebrates its national holiday because on this day in 1949 the people declared victory in the War of Liberation under the leadership of the Communist Party, a ceremony that took place in Tiananmen Square.
The anniversary will also mark Golden Week, a government initiative to extend the holiday to help expand the domestic tourism market and give people more time to visit distant family.
