- Hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics
The issue of flags is crucial. The flag guides the direction, the flag represents the image, and the flag gathers strength. What banner a party and a country hold is a matter of fundamental principle that has a bearing on the future and destiny of the party and the country. Our party takes socialism with Chinese characteristics as its banner, which is not only the inevitable logic of China’s historical development, but also the inevitable choice for China’s future development.
- Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the banner of contemporary China’s development and progress
The tremendous achievements in the 30 years of reform and opening up eloquently prove that socialism with Chinese characteristics is the banner of contemporary China’s development and progress. Over the past 30 years, the people have personally experienced the continuous improvement of living standards and have shared the fruits of reform and development. Under the guidance of the banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, my country’s reform and opening up have continued to deepen, the overall national strength has been continuously improved, the economic, national defense, scientific and technological, and cultural capabilities have been greatly enhanced, and the overall society has been stable.

In short, history and reality tell us that only socialism can save China, and only socialism with Chinese characteristics can develop China, and achieve national prosperity and national rejuvenation. This is the basic conclusion drawn from the historical facts of the development of Chinese society in modern times.
- Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the banner of the unity of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country
Socialism with Chinese characteristics conforms to the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people in China, conforms to the hearts of the party and the people, and has a strong appeal, cohesion, and appeal. In contemporary China, there is only the banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics and no other banners, which can unite and gather the wisdom and strength of people from different social strata and different interest groups to the greatest extent, and build our common home. Holding high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, from a new historical starting point, we can lead the broad masses of the people to unite, forge ahead, work tirelessly, and win new victories in building a well-off society in an all-round way.
Under the current international and domestic situation, my country’s development is facing unprecedented opportunities and unprecedented challenges. There are many favorable conditions and many disadvantages. The key depends on how well our work is done.
- Uphold and expand the great road of socialism with Chinese characteristics
Looking back on the struggle of our party leading the people, whether it is in the revolutionary period or in the construction period, there are two most important things: one is the formation of a correct theory, and the other is the opening of a correct path. The theory is fundamental, the theory is wrong, and the line, guidelines, and policies are all wrong. The road is critical. If the road is right, the cause of revolution and construction will develop and triumph; if the path is wrong, the cause of revolution and construction will suffer setbacks and failures.
The importance of roads is as Mao Zedong pointed out: “We must not only propose tasks, but also solve the problem of the method of completing the tasks. Our task is to cross the river, but we cannot cross without bridges or ships. If we don’t solve the problem of bridges or ships, we have to cross the river. The river is just empty talk. “Theories and roads complement each other, promote each other, and are unified in the practice of transforming the world.
- Exploration of the Road of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics
In March 1979, Comrade Deng Xiaoping proposed that our party should complete the task of creating its own path under the leadership of Comrade Mao Zedong on the issue of the Chinese revolution on the issue of China’s construction. In January 1980, he also proposed that in terms of economic development, it is necessary to “find a path that suits China’s reality and can be faster and less expensive.” In September 1982, in the opening speech of the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he also proposed to “take one’s own path and build socialism with Chinese characteristics.”
The Chinese Communists, represented by Comrade Deng Xiaoping, have found China’s own road of construction only after summarizing the positive and negative experiences since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, studying and learning from international experience, and in the new practice of reform and opening up. . This is because the construction of socialism in a backward big eastern country like China is the same as the revolution in the semi-colonial and semi-feudal old China.
It is a new subject in the history of Marxist development. It is simply impossible to copy books and foreign countries. We must proceed from our own national conditions, integrate the basic principles of Marxism with China’s reality, and open up a road of revolution and construction with Chinese characteristics in practice.
On the basis of the Party’s 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th National Congresses successively putting forward the Party’s basic theory, basic line, basic program, and basic experience in the primary stage of socialism, it was first proposed by the Party’s 17th National Congress. In order to understand the scientific connotation and complete expression of the socialist road with Chinese characteristics, the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made supplements and improvements. This shows that today, on the basis of more understanding and grasping of the laws, our party’s understanding of what socialism with Chinese characteristics is and how to build socialism with Chinese characteristics is compared to when the proposition of socialism with Chinese characteristics was first put forward. , Is greatly deepened.
- The scientific connotation of the socialist road with Chinese characteristics
The report of the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out: “The path of socialism with Chinese characteristics is under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, based on the basic national conditions, focusing on economic construction, adhering to the four basic principles, persisting in reform and opening up, liberating and developing social productive forces, and building Socialist market economy, socialist democratic politics, socialist advanced culture, socialist harmonious society, socialist ecological civilization, promote the all-round development of people, gradually realize the common prosperity of all people, and build a prosperous, democratic, civilized and harmonious modern socialist country.” Based on this statement, the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics can be understood from the following four levels:
The first is party leadership. The path of socialism with Chinese characteristics is a long-term exploration and hard work pioneered by the Chinese Communist Party. The leadership of the party is the fundamental political guarantee for adhering to this path. Without the leadership of the Communist Party, China will embark on another path. The second is development connotation. The most important thing in a country is development. China’s economy and culture are backward, and development is particularly urgent. Development is the last word, the top priority for governing and rejuvenating the country, and the main line of the road to socialism with Chinese characteristics. The question is what kind of development will be achieved and how?
Through long-term exploration, our party has continuously broadened and deepened its understanding of the connotation of development, from the construction of two civilizations to the construction of three civilizations, especially after the construction of a harmonious socialist society and ecological civilization proposed by the Party Central Committee, the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics The overall layout of the project has expanded from the trinity of economic construction, political construction, and cultural construction to the quintic of economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction, and ecological civilization construction.
In this overall layout, we must persist in focusing on economic construction, comprehensively promote the socialist market economy, socialist democratic politics, advanced socialist culture, the construction of a socialist harmonious society and the construction of ecological civilization, and promote the overall progress of society. It reflects that our party has a deeper understanding of the laws of socialism, especially socialism with Chinese characteristics. The third is path selection.
There is a question of what method and path to choose for development. The most fundamental path is reform and opening up. There are two types of expansion: one is a dynamic system, and the other is a conditional system. In terms of development momentum, first, we must adhere to scientific development, second, we must adhere to reform and development, and third, we must adhere to open development.
In terms of development conditions, first, we must adhere to stable development, second, we must adhere to harmonious development, and third, we must adhere to peaceful development. The fourth is target guidance. Striving to build our country into a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized and harmonious socialist modern country is a comprehensive socialist modernization goal that covers economic, political, cultural, social, and ecological aspects.
- Uphold and enrich the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics
The important proposition of “Theoretical System of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics” was first put forward by the Seventeenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China. It was guided by Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought by contemporary Chinese Communists, and through summarizing the experience and lessons of my country’s socialist construction, especially It is a theoretical system established on the basis of summarizing the practical experience of socialism with Chinese characteristics since my country’s reform and opening up.
This theoretical system is rich in content, broad and profound, and organically integrates Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thinking of the “Three Represents” and the scientific development concept that have been formed since the reform and opening up of our party.
Constructed a Sinicized Marxist theoretical system that reflects the characteristics of the current era and the characteristics of China’s national conditions.
On the whole, the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics closely focuses on the theme of building and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics. It closely focuses on exploring and answering what is socialism, how to build socialism, what kind of party to build, and how to build a party. , The basic questions of what kind of development to achieve, how to develop, etc., have formed the development path, development stage, development layout, fundamental tasks, development motivation, development strategy, development goals, economic construction, political construction, and cultural construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
A series of closely-connected and inter-connected new ideas, new viewpoints and new theories, such as social construction, ecological civilization construction, military and national defense construction, international and diplomatic strategies, leadership cores, etc., all of which constitute the basic theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics. content. These basic contents penetrate through disciplines such as philosophy, political economy, and scientific socialism, and involve reform, development and stability, internal affairs, foreign affairs, national defense, and governance of the party, the country, and the military. It is a theoretical system with rich connotation, profound thinking, and systematic science. .
- The Formation of the Theoretical System of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics
After the reform and opening up, Deng Xiaoping began to emphasize the “Chinese-style modernization road” and the construction of “Chinese-style socialism.” In July 1981, he first proposed the concept of “socialism with Chinese characteristics”. In September 1982, in the opening speech of the 12th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Deng Xiaoping clearly put forward the important proposition of “building socialism with Chinese characteristics.”

- The Historical Position and Significance of the Theoretical System of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics

After the founding of the Communist Party of China, it began the process of advancing the Sinicization of Marxism. In the process of advancing the Sinicization of Marxism, it has achieved two major historical leaps. The first historic leap was the successful opening of the road of China’s new democratic revolution and the formation of the great theoretical achievement of Mao Zedong Thought. The second historic leap was the successful opening of the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the formation of a theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics is an important theoretical crystallization of the great practice of reform and opening up and socialist modernization under the leadership of contemporary Chinese Communists, and is the latest theoretical achievement of the Sinicization of Marxism.
Second, the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of several generations of Chinese Communists. The formation of the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics has gone through a process, which is the theoretical result of the unremitting exploration of the people led by several generations of the central leadership collective.
First, the original theoretical results of the first generation of the central leadership of the party with Mao Zedong as the core led the people in socialist construction, which provided valuable experience and theoretical preparations for the establishment of the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics; second, In the process of opening and advancing reform and opening up,
the second-generation central leadership group with Deng Xiaoping at the core created Deng Xiaoping Theory, the first chapter of the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics; third, the party’s work with Jiang Zemin at the core In the process of advancing the continuous development of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the third generation of the central leadership group created the important thinking of the “Three Represents”, an important component of the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics;
fourth, with Hu Jintao as the general manager The Party Central Committee of the secretary has complied with the development and changes of the domestic and international situation, continued to promote the theoretical and practical innovations of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and put forward the scientific outlook on development, the latest achievement of the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Fourth, the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the common ideological basis for the unity and struggle of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups. For any country or political party to make continuous development and progress, it must have a common ideological foundation. In the face of the current complex and changeable international and domestic new situations, and the new situation of diverse and diversified national ideological concepts, if we want to unite and condense the people of different social classes and different interest groups to the greatest extent, we must do so to the greatest extent possible.
