Yu Dunhai, Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria, said the party\u2019s commitment to full and rigorous self-governance had strengthened its capacity to lead national development, translating political accountability into tangible economic and social gains.<\/p>\n
Dunhai stated this in an article titled \u2018Leading Chinese Modernisation Steadily Forward Through the Party\u2019s Self-Revolution\u2019, following the conclusion of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC in Beijing.<\/p>\n
He said the session reviewed and adopted a resolution on major issues concerning the continuation of full and rigorous party self-governance, outlining measures to strengthen internal discipline and provide political support for China\u2019s long-term development ambitions.<\/p>\n
According to him, the resolution provides a political foundation for advancing China\u2019s ambition of building a strong country and achieving national rejuvenation through its model of modernisation.<\/p>\n
The ambassador argued that China\u2019s development experience demonstrates the importance of strengthening institutions, addressing internal weaknesses and maintaining accountability within political leadership.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo govern the country well, we must first govern the Party well; only when the Party thrives can the nation prosper,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He noted that since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the party had intensified efforts to strengthen internal governance, describing its anti-corruption campaign as having achieved an overwhelming victory and being comprehensively consolidated.<\/p>\n
Dunhai said the experience had demonstrated the capacity of the world\u2019s largest Marxist governing party to identify institutional weaknesses, correct deviations and pursue continuous internal reforms.<\/p>\n
He described self-revolution as a mechanism through which the party seeks to strengthen its capacity for self-purification, self-improvement, self-renewal and self-enhancement.<\/p>\n
The ambassador maintained that the approach was not merely a political concept but a practical instrument for improving national governance and delivering economic benefits to citizens.<\/p>\n
According to him, sustained efforts to strengthen party discipline had helped the CPC mobilise society around common development objectives, translating governance effectiveness into economic growth and long-term social stability.<\/p>\n
He cited China\u2019s development of what he described as the world\u2019s largest and most complete industrial system, with its manufacturing value-added ranking first globally.<\/p>\n
Dunhai also highlighted the growth of China\u2019s middle-income population to more than 400 million people, alongside the country\u2019s achievement in eliminating absolute poverty and lifting hundreds of millions of rural residents out of poverty.<\/p>\n
He said these outcomes demonstrated the relationship between political accountability, effective governance and improvements in citizens\u2019 living conditions.<\/p>\n
The Chinese ambassador further argued that the country\u2019s domestic development had significant implications for the global economy, noting that China remained the world\u2019s second-largest economy and an important contributor to global economic growth.<\/p>\n
He said China had contributed about 30 percent of global economic growth for several consecutive years, positioning it as an important source of stability and momentum for the international economy.<\/p>\n
According to him, the strategic arrangements adopted at the Fifth Plenary Session were not only intended to guide China\u2019s long-term development but would also create opportunities for other economies through expanded trade, investment and international cooperation.<\/p>\n
He added that China\u2019s commitment to internal reforms would support further opening-up and contribute to the stability of global industrial and supply chains.<\/p>\n
Dunhai said the international community was facing profound changes, with growing deficits in peace, development, security and governance, particularly as developing countries increasingly sought to determine their own paths to modernisation.<\/p>\n
He noted that China\u2019s governance experience had attracted international attention, reflecting growing interest in how political institutions could strengthen accountability and improve state administration.<\/p>\n
However, he stressed that Beijing was not seeking to impose its development model on other countries or attach political conditions to its international cooperation.<\/p>\n
\u201cChina never exports its development model, attaches no political conditions, and never interferes in other countries\u2019 internal affairs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He maintained that every country should have the freedom to choose a development path suited to its national circumstances, adding that China remained willing to exchange governance experiences with political parties and organisations across the world.<\/p>\n
The ambassador said China was also advancing its Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, Global Civilisation Initiative and Global Governance Initiative as part of efforts to address international challenges and promote a community with a shared future for mankind.<\/p>\n
On Africa, Dunhai described the continent as an important force in the Global South and a strategic partner in China\u2019s modernisation ambitions.<\/p>\n
He said Beijing had continued to deepen economic and political cooperation with African countries through the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), guided by the principles of sincerity, real results, amity and good faith.<\/p>\n
He recalled that the 2024 FOCAC Beijing Summit produced the Ten Partnership Actions announced by Chinese President Xi Jinping, which he said provided a framework for expanding cooperation between China and African countries across different sectors.<\/p>\n
The ambassador also highlighted China\u2019s implementation of zero-tariff treatment for all African countries with which it maintains diplomatic relations, effective May 1, 2026.<\/p>\n
He said the policy was designed to expand market access for African products, strengthen trade relations and support industrial transformation across the continent.<\/p>\n
According to him, the measure further reinforces China\u2019s position as Africa\u2019s largest trading partner while creating opportunities for African countries to increase exports to the Chinese market.<\/p>\n
Dunhai added that the CPC was also expanding exchanges on party governance and state administration with political parties across Africa, describing the engagements as part of efforts to deepen mutual understanding and strengthen China-Africa relations.<\/p>\n
On Nigeria, the ambassador described the country as Africa\u2019s most populous nation and a major driver of the continent\u2019s economic and political development.<\/p>\n
He said his more than two years of diplomatic engagement in Nigeria had exposed him to the strong demand across different segments of Nigerian society for good governance, political stability and a development path shaped by the country\u2019s national interests.<\/p>\n
According to him, Nigeria\u2019s pursuit of strategic autonomy, pragmatic foreign policy, structural reforms, foreign investment and technological innovation reflects its determination to strengthen the foundations of independent development.<\/p>\n
He said these efforts demonstrated Nigeria\u2019s commitment to pursuing a modernisation path that reflects its domestic realities and development priorities.<\/p>\n
