——2022年1月17日，习近平在2022年世界经济论坛视频会议的演讲

Since the very day of its founding, the CPC has made seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation its aspiration and mission. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the Party Central Committee with Xi Jinping at the core has adhered to the principle of placing top priority on people’s wellbeing and rallied and led Chinese people to constantly improve their living standards. 

中国共产党自成立以来，始终把为中国人民谋幸福，为中华民族谋复兴作为自己的初心使命。党的十八大以来，以习近平同志为核心的党中央深刻把握以人民为中心这一“国之大者”的原则，团结带领人民不断提高人民生活水平。
