China has also been carrying out cooperation with the international community to facilitate repatriation of corrupt fugitives, leaving no haven for those hoping to escape punishment.
The CPC's campaign against corruption is gaining ground, which not only enhanced the Party's soft power, but also offered experience for the international community to jointly stem corruption.
BIAS NO. 3: CHINA'S DEVELOPMENT MODE IS UNSUSTAINABLE
It is true that China is continuously facing problems and challenges in its development, but the cliche prediction of a "coming collapse in China" made by speculators overseas has never come.
It seems unlikely such rhetoric will end this year however.
Over the 30-plus years since China's reform and opening up, every five-year development plan has been perfectly fulfilled. This is thanks to China choosing realistic development paths, which relies on the CPC's strong governance capability.
China's economic fundamentals remain sound and steady and the economy stays within a reasonable level. The political and social conditions are stable as well.
The CPC has put forward the five development concepts of innovation, coordination, green development, opening up and sharing and the "Four Comprehensives" strategy keeps making progress, facts that ensure the constant unleashing of benefits from the country's reforms.
BIAS NO. 4: CHINA'S ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN DRAGS DOWN WORLD ECONOMY
This argument ignores the opportunities brought about by China's economic scale and potential.
China is the world's second largest economy, and a 6.5 percent growth is a huge propeller for the world's economy, whereas the Organization for Economic and Cooperation Development (OECD) in its Interim Economic Outlook Forecasts put the growth rate of the United States at 2 percent this year and 2.2 percent for next year. The growth of Japan this year and next is expected to be 0.8 percent and 0.6 percent respectively.
In China, however, despite a slowing growth in some better-developed coastal areas, the development room for many inland regions remains broad.
China's drive to solve the economic imbalance among different regions provides huge potential for future economic development. Besides, China is encouraging and stimulating new dynamics with a new round of high-level opening-up, offering greater opportunities for investors all around the world.
Many observers also believe that the current slowing growth signals an increasingly mature Chinese economy, a "new normal" situation that should be adapted to by both China and the world. They believe China will continue to be a major "engine" for the world economy.
BIAS NO. 5: CHINA'S INCREASED MILITARY SPENDING THREATENS WORLD
To help better understand China's military spending, it may be advisable to first listen to U.S. President Barack Obama's recent State of the Union address. "We spend more on our military than the next eight nations combined. Our troops are the finest fighting force in the history of the world," the U.S. president said. "No nation attacks us directly, or our allies, because they know that's the path to ruin."
On the contrary, China's military expenditure has long been at a low level, putting the building of national defense under great pressure. The current defense spending rise reveals tremendous restraint by China.
The blame by some major countries on China is, no doubt, out of ulterior motives.
China implements an active defense military strategy. It will never attack others unless being attacked first and it will not waive the power to strike back if it is under attack from others.
The peaceful development of China has significantly reduced the risk of a world war.
