The following day the state sponsored People’s Daily published an article on the front page of its Chinese language overseas print edition entitled “Face the World and Promote a Nationalist Spirit” (面向世界弘扬爱国主义精神) with the Chinese text of Xi's speech: 习近平强调，弘扬爱国主义精神，必须坚持爱国主义和社会主义相统一。我国爱国主义始终围绕着实现民族富强、人民幸福而发展，最终汇流于中国特色社会主义。祖国的命运和党的命运、社会主义的命运是密不可分的。只有坚持爱国和爱党、爱社会主义相统一，爱国主义才是鲜活的、真实的，这是当代中国爱国主义精神最重要的体现。今天我们讲爱国主义，这个道理要经常讲、反复讲。On January 7, 2016, China’s official news agency Xinhua published an article entitled “China Vows to Make Party's Voice Strongest in Cyberspace” (全国网络宣传工作会议：让党的主张成为网络空间最强音).
