its founding in 1921, the Party has made seeking happiness for the
Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation its mission, said
the communique. In
the period of the new-democratic revolution, Chinese communists, with
Comrade Mao Zedong as their chief representative, adapting the basic
tenets of Marxism-Leninism to China's specific realities, established
Mao Zedong Thought, which charted the correct course for securing
victory in the new-democratic revolution, according to the communique. In
the period of socialist revolution and construction, Chinese
communists, with Comrade Mao Zedong as their chief representative, put
forward a series of important theories for socialist construction. China
was transformed from a poor and backward Eastern country with a large
population to a socialist country, according to the communique. During
the new period of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization,
after the third plenary session of the 11th Central Committee, Chinese
communists, with Comrade Deng Xiaoping as their chief representative, by
focusing on the fundamental questions of what socialism is and how to
build it, established Deng Xiaoping Theory. The reform and opening up
drive was launched, and socialism with Chinese characteristics was
successfully founded. After
the fourth plenary session of the 13th Central Committee, Chinese
communists, with Comrade Jiang Zemin as their chief representative,
deepened the understanding of what socialism is and how to build it, and
what kind of Party to build and how to build it. On this basis, they
formed the Theory of Three Represents. Socialism with Chinese
characteristics was successfully launched into the 21st century. After
the 16th National Party Congress, Chinese communists, with Comrade Hu
Jintao as their chief representative, united and led the whole Party and
the entire nation in advancing practical, theoretical, and
institutional innovation during the process of building a moderately
prosperous society in all respects, and formed the Scientific Outlook on
Development. They succeeded in upholding and developing socialism with
Chinese characteristics under new circumstances, according to the
communique. Following
the Party's 18th National Congress, socialism with Chinese
characteristics entered a new era. Chinese communists, with Comrade Xi
Jinping as their chief representative, have established Xi Jinping
Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. Xi
Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era
is the Marxism of contemporary China and of the 21st century. It
embodies the best of the Chinese culture and ethos in our times and
represents a new breakthrough in adapting Marxism to the Chinese
context. The Party has established Comrade Xi Jinping's core position on
the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and defined the
guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese
Characteristics for a New Era. This reflects the common will of the
Party, the armed forces, and the Chinese people of all ethnic groups,
and is of decisive significance for advancing the cause of the Party and
the country in the new era and for driving forward the historic process
of national rejuvenation, according to the communique. Since
the Party's 18th National Congress, the Central Committee's authority
and its centralized, unified leadership have remained robust and,
through revolutionary tempering, the Party has grown stronger, according
to the communique. China's
economic development has become much more balanced, coordinated, and
sustainable, and the Party has consistently promoted broader and deeper
reform across the board. The
Party has actively developed whole-process people's democracy and made
comprehensive efforts to improve the institutions, standards, and
procedures of China's socialist democracy. The
system of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics has
constantly been improved, and a sweeping and fundamental shift has been
seen in the ideological domain. The
people's lives have improved in all aspects, and the environmental
protection endeavors have seen sweeping, historic, and transformative
changes. The
people's military has been through an all-around revolutionary
restructuring in preparation for the next stage, according to the
communique. The
CPC Central Committee has made moves to restore order in Hong Kong and
ensure a turn for the better in the region; and firmly opposes foreign
interference and maintains the initiative and ability to steer
cross-Strait relations. With
regard to foreign affairs, the major-country diplomacy with Chinese
characteristics has been advanced on all fronts, with the concept of a
human community with a shared future becoming a banner leading trends of
the times and human progress, the communique added.

Party's endeavors over the past century have opened up the right path
for achieving rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, enabling China to
complete a process of industrialization that took developed countries
several centuries in the space of mere decades, and bringing about the
two miracles of rapid economic growth and enduring social stability. The
Party has led the people in great endeavors and accumulated valuable
historical experience over the past century. This covers the following
ten aspects: upholding the Party's leadership, putting the people first,
advancing theoretical innovation, staying independent, following the
Chinese path, maintaining a global vision, breaking new ground, standing
up for ourselves, promoting the united front, and remaining committed
to self-reform, said the communique. It was stated at the session that "to accomplish the Party's mission, we should never forget why we started." The
whole Party must uphold Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng
Xiaoping Theory, the Theory of Three Represents, and the Scientific
Outlook on Development and fully implement Xi Jinping Thought on
Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the communique
said. The
entire Party must forever maintain close ties with the people and act
in line with the people-centered philosophy of development, it added. The
Central Committee calls upon the entire Party, the military, and all
Chinese people to rally more closely around the Central Committee with
Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, the communique said, vowing to make
tireless efforts to realize the Second Centenary Goal and the Chinese
Dream of national rejuvenation.
