All Roads Lead to Rome

Every country has its own national conditions and history. Thus， the people of each have chosen appropriate systems to meet their needs for growth.

The political systems of various countries are often particular to domestic conditions. In Disneyland， a winding path could make a scenic spot more attractive， while downtown， broad avenues could make transport more efficient. Despite differences， all roads lead people to their own destinations.

An online animation called How Leaders Are Made， which has been viewed over 2 million times， indicates that the path to leadership in China is far different from that in Western countries. For a long time， China’s political system has received prejudice from the West.

Every system is reasonable. China is the most populous country in the world and the development of its different regions varies greatly. Governing such a complicated country and ensuring people’s well-being necessitates a strong system and a more efficient government. Today， China has become the second largest economy in the world. With great achievements made over past decades， China has proven its system is robust and dynamic. On the other hand， the Chinese people are aware of the challenges they face and that reform is of the utmost importance.

With civilizations numerous and variphZQ87/NLPQKGrf+WNBF1A==ed， how can the world be governed by Westernstyle democracy alone？

In fact， such democracy has failed many African and Middle Eastern countries of late， curtailing freedom and intensifying conflicts. By contrast， the Chinese model has received much praise from developing countries.

There is an old English saying： All roads lead to Rome. Every country has the right to choose the path matched to its stage in development. No matter which system is chosen， the objective remains to provide people with better lives， while safeguarding security， equality and justice. China respects the ways chosen by other countries， and it will also adhere to its own path in its pursuit of happiness and prosperity.
