Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday said China's rapid industrial growth offers a valuable example for developing countries, as he projected greater confidence in the country's role on the global stage.

Speaking at an event marking the 105th anniversary of the founding of the ruling Communist Party, Xi said China had achieved in just a few decades what took many wealthy nations centuries to accomplish.

"We advocate the building of a community with a shared future for humanity, providing Chinese wisdom, Chinese solutions and Chinese strength for addressing major issues facing humanity," Xi said.

Xi, who is in his 14th year as China's leader, said the country is ready to contribute its experience and ideas to help address global challenges.

China has long criticized U.S. influence over the international system. While Beijing says it does not seek to replace the existing global order, it wants reforms that better reflect the interests of developing countries.

Last year, China engaged in a major trade dispute with the United States that led President Donald Trump to reduce some of the import tariffs imposed on Chinese goods.

Xi said the world is going through a period of uncertainty and major change, leaving humanity at a critical turning point. He repeated China's commitment to building a new type of international relationship aimed at promoting global peace and development.

His speech at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing echoed key messages from his address during the Communist Party's 100th anniversary in 2021. These included strengthening China's military and pursuing the country's goal of bringing Taiwan under Beijing's control.

Xi also stressed the need to modernize the military more rapidly to meet world-class standards while maintaining the Communist Party's firm leadership over the armed forces.

In recent years, several senior military officers have been removed as part of an anti-corruption campaign that analysts say has also helped strengthen Xi's control over the military.
