The Three Principles of the People

The Three Principles of the People, developed by Sun Yat-sen, are guiding ideas for China's modernization. "Nationalism" emphasizes independence and unity, encouraging China to free itself from foreign control. "Democracy" advocates for a government elected by the people, ensuring political participation and protection of rights. "People’s Livelihood" focuses on economic development and social welfare, aiming to improve the living standards of citizens through fair distribution and development. Together, these principles seek to create a strong, free, and equitable nation, balancing political sovereignty, popular governance, and economic well-being.
