1. National

The “National Chinese Dream” was defined famously by President Xi as “the great rejuvenation of the Chinese People.” It is the collective vision of the Chinese nation, described as achieving the "Two 100s:" first, the material goal of China becoming a "moderately well-off [xiaogang] society" by about 2020, around the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party (2021); second, the modernization goal of China becoming a fully developed nation by about 2050, just after the 100th anniversary of the People's Republic of China (2049).

"A moderately well-off society" is where all citizens, rural and urban, enjoy high standards of living. This includes doubling the 2010 per capita gross domestic product (approaching US$10,000) by about 2020 and completing urbanization (roughly 1 billion people, about 70 percent of China's population) by about 2030. "Modernization" means China regaining its position as a world leader in science and technology as well as in economics and business; the resurgence of Chinese civilization, culture and military strength and China participating actively in all areas of human endeavor.

The National Chinese Dream can be seen from a viewpoint of seven interlocking perspectives:

1. Strong China -- economically, politically, scientifically, militarily..

2. Stable China -- freedom from chaos; social confidence.

3. Bountiful China – high standards of living for all citizens.

4. Harmonious China -- amity among social classes and ethnic groups.

5. Civilized China -- equity and fairness, rich culture, high morals.

6. Beautiful China -- healthy environment, low pollution, modern cities, scenic landscapes.

7. Creative China – scientific excellence; artistic elegance; innovative products.
