——摘自习近平在中共十九届四中全会第二次全体会议上的讲话，2019年10月31日

译文：The essential attribute of our state and governance systems is that they always represent the fundamental interests of the people, safeguard the people's status as masters of the country, reflect the people's common will, and protect the people's legitimate rights and interests. This is precisely why the operation of the systems in our country is so effective and dynamic.
