Han Qingxiang, a Professor with the Central Party School, in an article published by People's Daily warned that the Party is facing multiple challenges originating both, within China and overseas. He said despite China's repeated stance for peaceful development, common interests and its commitment to building a harmonious world, some established powers still see it as a "threat" and are trying to contain the country's development. He added that "foreign ideological challenges", such as a peremptory interpretation of "democracy" as well as notions of "neoliberalism" and "historical nihilism," have been imported to China and that some Western forces are using their interpretation of the concepts of "freedom, democracy and human rights" as instruments to instigate discontent and frustration toward the socialist system and CPC leadership in China.
