I have no recommendartions on your speech, but I have a copuple of comments on English usage which may help you. This is how I would express your words. "I have to give a speech describing China to those in other countries. Do you have any suggestions for me?" "Thanks for your answers but the probem is that I have only one minute to talk, so it's a little hard to decide what to focus on. That's the dilema I'm facing." In the last sentence I could have said ''the problem I'm facing" but I had already used the word "problem" in the previous sentence and, unlike Chinese, in English we do not think such repetition has a nice ring to it. As to the answer to your question, I can only say that the most significant development in my lifetime, with regard to China, was Deng Xiaoping's opening up of China to the West.

China is a very big country with the largest population in the world. I'm sure you can talk a lot about the interesting places, the festivals, the food, the culture, the beliefs, the buildings and many more.

Hello Vivien, With China as the fourth largest country in the world and one with an ancient civilization, you will not fail to find many topics to address when introducing China to the world. You can talk about the history in brief , the culture including arts,food and architecture. You can tell about the remarkable features such as the Chinese year, Chinese writing system, Chinese medicine and Philosophy etc..

Assuming I have never been to China and you hope that I can make a visit China. You are to introduce China to me. What makes you proud of China? Describe them to your foreign friend. Culture, invention, history, buildings, development or even places of interest. These are things you can write about.
