President Xi Jinping has elaborated upon the Chinese Dream's meanings many times.

It is defined as the achievement of national rejuvenation, prosperity and happiness. The concept operates on the premise that the people can do well only if the country does well.

Its goal is to enable people to enjoy improved education, employment and income. It includes better social security, healthcare and housing. The concept is intended to create a better environment.

The Chinese Dream is meant to ensure children grow up well, and work better jobs and enjoy better lives than their parents.

All Chinese people have the opportunity to enjoy success, the opportunity to realize their hopes and the chance to grow and progress with the country, Xi has said.

The Chinese Dream is a dream for peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit for all. It is connected to the dreams of the people in other countries, Xi has explained.

The Chinese Dream will not only benefit the Chinese people but also people of all countries in the world, Xi has said.
