General outline

The CPC is the vanguard of the Chinese working class, the vanguard of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, the leadership core of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, representing the development requirements of China's advanced productive forces, the direction of China's advanced culture, and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the Chinese people. The highest ideal and ultimate goal of the Party is to achieve communism.

Marxism Leninism reveals the laws of historical development in human society, and its basic principles are correct and have strong vitality. The highest ideal of communism pursued by the CPC can only be realized on the basis of the full development and highly developed socialist society. The development and improvement of the socialist system is a long-term historical process. Adhering to the basic principles of Marxism Leninism and following the path chosen voluntarily by the Chinese people that is suitable for China's national conditions, China's socialist cause will surely achieve ultimate victory.

The CPC, with Comrade Mao Zedong as its main representative, combined the basic principles of Marxism Leninism with the concrete practice of the Chinese revolution and founded Mao Zedong Thought. Mao Zedong Thought is the application and development of Marxism Leninism in China, the correct theoretical principles and experience summary on Chinese revolution and construction that have been proved by practice, and the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the CPC. Under the guidance of Mao Zedong Thought, the CPC led the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to win the victory of the new democratic revolution and establish the People's Republic of China under the people's democratic dictatorship after a long-term revolutionary struggle against imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat capitalism; After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, socialist transformation was smoothly carried out, the transition from new democracy to socialism was completed, the basic socialist system was established, and the economy, politics, and culture of socialism were developed.

Since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the CPC, with Comrade Deng Xiaoping as the main representative, has summarized the positive and negative experiences since the founding of New China, emancipated the mind, sought truth from facts, realized the shift of the work center of the whole party to economic construction, implemented reform and opening up, opened a new era for the development of the cause of socialism, gradually formed the line, principles and policies for building socialism with Chinese characteristics, clarified the basic issues of building socialism, consolidating and developing socialism in China, and founded Deng Xiaoping Theory. Deng Xiaoping Theory is the product of the combination of the basic principles of Marxism Leninism and contemporary Chinese practice and the characteristics of the times. It is the inheritance and development of Mao Zedong Thought under the new historical conditions, a new stage of the development of Marxism in China, a Marxism in contemporary China, and the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the CPC, guiding the socialist modernization cause of China to move forward.

Since the Fourth Plenary Session of the Thirteenth Central Committee, the CPC, with Comrade Jiang Zemin as the main representative, has deepened their understanding of what socialism is, how to build socialism, what kind of party to build, and how to build the party in the practice of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, accumulated new valuable experience in governing the party and the country, and formed the important thought of "Three Represents". The important thought of "Three Represents" is the inheritance and development of Marxism Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory. It reflects the new requirements of the development and changes of the contemporary world and China on the work of the Party and the state. It is a powerful theoretical weapon to strengthen and improve Party building and promote the self-improvement and development of socialism in China. It is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the CPC and the guiding ideology that the Party must adhere to for a long time. Always adhering to the "Three Represents" is the foundation of our party's establishment, governance, and source of strength.

Since the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC, with Comrade Hu Jintao as the main representative, has adhered to Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of "Three Represents" as the guidance, according to the new development requirements, deeply understood and answered the major questions of what kind of development to achieve under the new situation, how to develop, and formed the scientific development concept of people-oriented, comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development. The Scientific Outlook on Development is a scientific theory that comes down in one continuous line with Marxism Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of "Three Represents" and keeps pace with the times. It is a concentrated embodiment of the Marxist world outlook and methodology on development, a major achievement of the sinicization of Marxism, a crystallization of the collective wisdom of the CPC, and a guiding ideology that must be adhered to for a long time to develop socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The fundamental reason for all the achievements and progress we have made since the reform and opening up can be summarized as: opening up the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, forming the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, establishing the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, and developing the socialist culture with Chinese characteristics. All Party comrades should cherish, persist in, and continuously develop the path, theoretical system, system, and culture that the Party has worked hard to create. They should hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, strengthen their confidence in the path, theory, system, and culture, carry forward the spirit of struggle, enhance their fighting skills, implement the Party's basic theories, lines, and strategies, and strive to achieve the three major historical tasks of advancing modernization construction, completing national reunification, maintaining world peace, and promoting common development, realizing the second centenary goal, and realizing the Chinese Dream of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Since its establishment, the CPC has always regarded working for the happiness of the Chinese people and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as its original mission. After 100 years of struggle, it has fundamentally changed the future and destiny of the Chinese people, opened up the right path to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, demonstrated the strong vitality of Marxism, profoundly affected the process of world history, and forged the CPC, which is at the forefront of the times. Through long-term practice, we have accumulated valuable historical experiences of adhering to the leadership of the Party, putting the people first, innovating theories, being independent and independent, adhering to the Chinese path, embracing the world, exploring and innovating, daring to struggle, united front, and self revolution. These are the spiritual wealth jointly created by the Party and the people, which must be cherished and persisted in the long term, and continuously enriched and developed in practice.

Our country is currently in and will remain in the primary stage of socialism for a long time. This is an insurmountable historical stage in the construction of socialist modernization in China, which was originally economically and culturally backward, and requires hundreds of years. Our socialist construction must proceed from our national conditions, follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese path to modernization. At present, the main contradiction in Chinese society is the contradiction between the growing needs of the people for a better life and the unbalanced and insufficient development. Due to domestic factors and international influence, class struggle still exists for a long time within a certain range, and may even intensify under certain conditions, but it is no longer the main contradiction. The fundamental task of socialist construction in our country is to further liberate and develop productive forces, gradually achieve socialist modernization, and reform the aspects and links of production relations and superstructure that are not suitable for the development of productive forces. We must adhere to and improve the basic economic system of public ownership as the mainstay, multiple forms of ownership for common development, distribution according to work as the mainstay, and coexistence of multiple distribution methods. The socialist market economy system and other basic economic systems should encourage some regions and some people to get rich first, gradually achieve common prosperity for all people, continuously meet the growing needs of the people for a better life on the basis of production development and social wealth growth, and promote comprehensive human development. Development is the top priority of our party's governance and national rejuvenation. We must adhere to the development concept of putting the people at the center, grasp the new stage of development, implement the new development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness, and sharing, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern with domestic circulation as the main body and domestic and international dual circulation promoting each other, and promote high-quality development. All work should take the development of productive forces that are conducive to the development of socialist society, the enhancement of the comprehensive national strength of socialist countries, and the improvement of people's living standards as the overall starting point and testing standard. Respect labor, knowledge, talent, and creativity, and achieve development for the people, relying on the people, and sharing development achievements with the people. We must follow the overall layout of the "Five in One" and the "Four Comprehensives" strategic layout of the socialist cause with Chinese characteristics, comprehensively promote economic, political, cultural, social, and ecological civilization construction, coordinate and promote the comprehensive construction of a socialist modernized country, comprehensively deepen reform, comprehensively govern the country according to law, and comprehensively enforce strict governance of the Party. The strategic goal of economic and social development in the new era and new journey is to basically achieve socialist modernization by 2035, and to build China into a socialist modernized strong country by the middle of this century.

The basic line of the CPC in the primary stage of socialism is to lead and unite the people of all ethnic groups in the country, focus on economic development, adhere to the Four Cardinal Principles, adhere to reform and opening up, self-reliance, work hard, and strive to build China into a modern socialist power that is prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized, harmonious, and beautiful.

In leading the socialist cause, the CPC must adhere to economic construction as the center, and all other work should be subordinate to and serve this center. To implement the strategies of revitalizing the country through science and education, strengthening the country through talent, innovation driven development, rural revitalization, regional coordinated development, sustainable development, and military civilian integration, we must fully leverage the role of science and technology as the primary productive force, talent as the primary resource, and innovation as the primary driving force for development. By relying on scientific and technological progress, we can improve the quality of workers and promote higher quality, more efficient, fairer, more sustainable, and safer development of the national economy.

The four basic principles of adhering to the socialist road, adhering to the people's democratic dictatorship, adhering to the leadership of the CPC, and adhering to Marxism Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought are the foundation of our country. Throughout the process of socialist modernization construction, we must adhere to the Four Cardinal Principles and oppose bourgeois liberalization.

To lead the people of all ethnic groups in the country to achieve the second centennial goal and the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the CPC must closely follow the Party's basic line, adhere to and strengthen the Party's overall leadership, adhere to the principle that the Party should govern the Party in an all-round way with strict discipline, carry forward the principle of truth, adhere to ideals, practice the original intention, take on the mission, be fearless of sacrifice and heroic struggle, be loyal to the Party and live up to the people's great spirit of building the Party, strengthen the Party's long-term governance capacity, progressiveness and purity, comprehensively promote the new grand project of Party building in the spirit of reform and innovation, take the Party's political construction as the leadership, comprehensively promote the Party's political, ideological, organizational, The work style and discipline should be improved, and the system should be built through it. We should further promote the fight against corruption, comprehensively improve the scientific level of Party building, and lead a great social revolution with a great self revolution.

The construction of the Party must resolutely achieve the following six basic requirements:

Firstly, adhere to the Party's basic line. We must unify reform and opening up with the Four Cardinal Principles, fully implement the Party's basic line, oppose all "left" and right erroneous tendencies, be vigilant of the right, but mainly prevent "left". It is necessary to enhance political judgment, political comprehension, and political execution, and enhance the consciousness and firmness in implementing the Party's theory, line, principles, and policies.

Secondly, adhere to emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, keeping pace with the times, and seeking truth and pragmatism. The ideological line of the Party is to start from reality, connect theory with practice, seek truth from facts, and test and develop truth in practice. The whole party must adhere to this ideological line, actively explore, boldly experiment, innovate, creatively carry out work, continuously study new situations, summarize new experiences, solve new problems, enrich and develop Marxism in practice, and promote the sinicization and modernization of Marxism.

Thirdly, adhere to the organizational line of the Party in the new era. The whole party must enhance the political and organizational functions of the party organization, cultivate and select good cadres who meet the needs of the party and the people, cultivate and cultivate a large number of socialist successors who are capable of shouldering the important tasks of the times, gather talents from all over the world, and ensure the implementation of the party's basic theory, basic line, and basic strategy from an organizational perspective.

Fourthly, we must adhere to serving the people wholeheartedly. The Party has no special interests other than the interests of the working class and the broadest masses of the people. The Party always puts the interests of the masses first, shares weal and woe with the masses, maintains the closest connection, adheres to the principle of using power for the people, linking emotions to the people, and seeking benefits for the people. It does not allow any Party member to detach from the masses or surpass them. Our party's greatest political advantage is to closely connect with the masses, and the biggest danger after the party takes power is to detach from the masses. The issue of Party conduct and the connection between the Party and the people are issues related to the survival of the Party. The Party implements the mass line in its own work, doing everything for the masses, relying on the masses, coming from and going to the masses, and turning the Party's correct propositions into conscious actions of the masses.

Fifth, adhere to democratic centralism. Democratic centralism is a combination of centralization based on democracy and democracy guided by centralization. It is not only the fundamental organizational principle of the Party, but also the application of the mass line in the Party's life. We must fully promote intra party democracy, respect the status of party members as the main body, safeguard the democratic rights of party members, and give full play to the enthusiasm and creativity of party organizations at all levels and the vast number of party members. Strengthen and standardize the political life within the Party, enhance the political, contemporary, principled, and combatant nature of the political life within the Party, develop a positive and healthy political culture within the Party, and create a good political ecology with a clean and upright atmosphere. The Party conducts criticism and self-criticism correctly in its own political life, engages in ideological struggle on issues of principle, adheres to truth, and corrects errors. Strive to create a political situation that is both centralized and democratic, disciplined and free, with a unified will and a lively personal mood.

Sixth, we must adhere to strict party management. The comprehensive and strict governance of the Party is always on the road, and the Party's self revolution is always on the road. Under the new situation, the Party is facing long-term, complex, and severe challenges in governance, reform and opening up, market economy, and external environment. The dangers of spiritual laxity, insufficient ability, detachment from the masses, and passive corruption are more acute in front of the entire Party. We must implement strict standards and measures throughout the entire process and all aspects of managing and governing the Party. Adhere to governing the Party according to regulations and addressing both symptoms and root causes, continuously improve the Party's internal regulatory system, prioritize discipline, strengthen organizational discipline, and ensure equality for all in the face of Party discipline. Strengthen the main responsibility and supervisory responsibility for comprehensively and strictly governing the Party, strengthen the supervision of the Party's leading organs and Party members, especially the main leading cadres, and continuously improve the Party's internal supervision system. Deepen the construction of Party conduct and clean governance and the fight against corruption, punish corruption with a zero tolerance attitude, and promote the unity of not daring to corrupt, not wanting to corrupt, and not wanting to corrupt.

The leadership of the CPC is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. The Party is the highest political leadership. The Party, government, military, and civil education, in all directions, the Party leads everything. The Party must adapt to the requirements of reform and opening up and socialist modernization construction, adhere to scientific governance, democratic governance, and rule of law, and strengthen and improve the Party's leadership. The Party must play a leading core role in various organizations at the same level in accordance with the principle of overall planning and coordination among all parties. The Party must concentrate its efforts on leading economic construction, organizing and coordinating various forces, working together to carry out work around economic construction, and promoting comprehensive economic and social development. The Party must implement democratic and scientific decision-making, formulate and implement correct lines, guidelines, and policies, do a good job in Party organization and propaganda and education, and play the vanguard and exemplary role of all Party members. The Party must operate within the scope of the Constitution and laws. The Party must ensure that the legislative, judicial, administrative, and supervisory organs of the state, economic and cultural organizations, and people's organizations work actively, independently, responsibly, and in a coordinated manner. The Party must strengthen its leadership over trade unions, the Communist Youth League, women's federations and other mass organizations, so that they can maintain and enhance their political, progressiveness and mass character and give full play to their role. The Party must adapt to the development of the situation and changes in the situation, improve the leadership system, improve leadership methods, and enhance governance capabilities. Communist Party members must closely cooperate with non party masses and work together to build socialism with Chinese characteristics.
