Development is the everlasting theme of human beings, which is more significant for China as the largest developing country. The past 40 years of reform and opening-up witnessed the transition of the CPC’s outlook on development: in terms of historical logic, our development includes three major phases from“standing up, getting rich to getting strong”; as for its contents, they stretch from economy, politics, society, and culture to ecology etc; for ideology (that of the ruling party), we are approaching towards humanism; in terms of form, the development shifts from sheer quantity growth to poly-dimensional development; with regard to space, it surpasses the category of nation-state and becomes the common aspiration of the community of human destiny. These represent the latest thinking of the largest developing country on development and will have an important impact on human peace and development.
