Chapter 13 The word "firm" was added with special emphasis by Deng Xiaoping

You said earlier that Deng Xiaoping's socialism with Chinese characteristics is a socialism that constantly develops social productive forces, and it is a socialism that advocates peace.Now you have further mentioned Deng Xiaoping's strategic thinking about "two overall situations".Could you please further explain the connection between these two important conclusions and the connection between them and the "development path of peaceful rise"? The "two overall situations" are the basis of the argument, and the unity of "socialism that continuously develops social productive forces" and "socialism that advocates peace," that is, "socialism with Chinese characteristics," is the fundamental conclusion.To understand in this spirit, we must unify internal and external, and unify peace and development.In other words, we must strive for a peaceful environment to develop ourselves, and use our own development to maintain peace. This is the "development path of peaceful rise".

In Deng Xiaoping's speeches in the south, there was a sentence: "China is a staunch force for maintaining world peace." I remember very clearly that the word "firm" in this sentence was emphasized by Deng Xiaoping when he finalized the speeches in the south. added.
