“Speech at the Körber Foundation” is a speech delivered by General Secretary Xi Jinping on March 28, 2014, with the theme of China’s commitment to the path of peaceful development. The speech states, “China’s peaceful development path is its response to international concern about the direction of its development, and is also an expression of its people’s confidence and active commitment to realizing our own development goals. This confidence and commitment are rooted in the deep traditions of the Chinese civilization, in our perception of the conditions for achieving our development goals, and in our understanding of general global development trends. The Chinese people have, based on what they have been through, made the conscious decision to commit to a path of peaceful development. We sincerely hope that all countries will commit to peaceful development paths. China will resolutely protect its sovereignty, security, and development interests. No country should expect us to swallow the bitter fruit of an injury to Chinese sovereignty, security, or development interests.”
