after 69 years of socialist revolution and construction, and in particular 40 years of reform and opening-up, china has gone through the course of modernization of developed countries for several hundred years. compared with china's poverty and weakness since modern times and its poverty and poverty at the beginning of the founding of new china, such a leap cannot but be surprising. compared with the social governance disorder and even disorder in many western countries in recent years, compared with the failure of modernization transformation in some developing countries, such a leap cannot be ignored. how can china achieve such a great leap? there is no doubt that all this stems from the strong leadership of the cpc, the unity and struggle of the chinese people and the firm confidence of chinese society.
shoulder the responsibility of leading the times
the communist party of china emerged from the trend of the times and developed, expanded and matured in the course of history of grasping the pulse of the times. to seek happiness for the chinese people and rejuvenation for the chinese nation is the initial aspiration and mission of the cpc, as well as the cpc's conscious response to the tide of the times and responsibility for the times. beginner's mission is the greatest motivation. mission is the beginner's mind holding, and its response to the era calls for the communist party of china has always put himself as the tool of the chinese people to realize their own interests, based on china, look around the world trend, respond to adapt, to keep pace with the times, not ignorance in age, not complacent, in every historical period compose splendid ancient times.
even in march 1949, comrade mao zedong proposed that after the victory of the new democratic revolution, we should "steadily transform china from an agricultural country to an industrial country and build china into a great socialist country". after the founding of the people's republic of china in 1949, the communist party of china (cpc) led a profound socialist transformation and a large-scale socialist construction based on its awareness of the world's modernization. the first national people's congress, held in 1954, clearly set forth for the first time the four modernization tasks of industry, agriculture, transportation and national defense. in his article commemorating the 90th birthday of dr. sun yat-sen in november 1956, comrade mao zedong emphasized that "china should make great contributions to mankind." at the beginning of reform and opening up, comrade deng xiaoping keenly grasped the development and changes of the times, made the important judgment that peace and development became the two major themes of the contemporary world, guided the party to shift its focus to socialist modernization, and made the great strategic decision of carrying out reform and opening up. "we need to catch up with the times," he stressed. "this is the goal of reform." looking back on the past 69 years, china's socialist construction can be vigorous, its modernization drive can be sustained, and its reform and opening up can be deepened. all these are inseparable from the cpc's commitment to fulfilling its original mission in keeping with the times, and the chinese people's unyielding spirit of striving for strength.
bear and you will reap. at the end of the first decade of the 21st century, china has already become the world's second largest economy in the great practice of reform and opening up. the level of social productivity has improved significantly on the whole. over 700 million poor people have been lifted out of poverty by the current un standards, accounting for more than 70 percent of the global population in poverty reduction over the same period. such economic size and development performance completely changed the "backward situation, despised situation and unlucky situation" before the founding of new china. it not only enabled china to catch up with the times, but also increasingly became the source of important power and vitality for world economic growth.
at present, china is in the best development period since modern times, and the world is in an unprecedented change, both of which interweave and agitate mutually. the party central committee with comrade xi for the core accurately grasp the pulse times, through comprehensively deepen reform to promote national modernization management system and management ability, through the implementation of new development concept and supply side structural reforms to promote construction of modern economic system, runoff to build a well-off society in an all-round way and then open the all-round construction of socialism modernization country new journey, increasingly close to achieve the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation. at the same time, facing the world economic growth, in the face of "inverse" globalization trend and trade protectionism, in the face of threats to the peace of mankind deficit deficit, development, governance deficit this "three big deficit", xi jinping, general secretary of deep thinking about human fate and world development trend, standing on the history and reality of era "area" is proposed on the commanding heights of the junction of initiative, put forward to build the new international relations and discuss the concept of global governance of the co-construction and sharing, promote to build human destiny community, open up the new china to participate in and lead the global open cooperation, it has contributed chinese wisdom, chinese programs and chinese strength to the reform and development of the global governance system. today, china is increasingly closer to the center of the world stage. its international influence, charisma and shaping power have been constantly enhanced and china has become a contributor to world peace, global development and international order. to seek happiness for the people, rejuvenation for the nation, future for mankind and great harmony for the world, the contemporary chinese communists are taking on such responsibilities to stand at the forefront of the times, answering the questions of the times and leading the times forward.
firmly leading the way choice of the times
the choice of a country or a political party is the first major issue, which is related to the success or failure of the cause. in particular, it is of fundamental importance for china, a large developing country with a long history and splendid civilization, a large population and a backward starting point. since the founding of the people's republic of china 69 years ago, and especially since the beginning of reform and opening up 40 years ago, the communist party of china has insisted on integrating the basic principles of marxism with china's concrete realities and features of the times, and successfully blazed a path of socialism with chinese characteristics in the great practice of reform and opening up. this is a path rooted in china, which reflects the will of the chinese people and meets the needs of development and progress of the times. only socialism can save china, only socialism with chinese characteristics can develop china and realize the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation. this is the conclusion of history and the choice of the people.
the path of socialism with chinese characteristics has a distinct political direction and a very definite scientific connotation. to firmly follow the path of socialism with chinese characteristics is to adhere to the basic line of "one center and two basic points", promote the overall layout of "five elements in one" as a whole, and advance the strategic layout of "four comprehensives" in a coordinated manner. over the past 40 years, socialism with chinese characteristics has always occupied the moral high ground and has become a shining path leading the development and progress of contemporary china with strong vitality. socialism in the world once suffered a setback when tested, in some denigrate and bad-mouthing the bearing of socialism, popular in some fool and distort the ideological trend of socialism, in some of the containment and damage socialist acts recklessly, the communist party of china always maintain political concentration, no fear for any risk, not to confused by any interference, neither go closed rigid path, don't go to change the flag authorities from every evil way, that it unswervingly adhere to and develop socialism with chinese characteristics, in the "four confidence" walked out of a human right, holds up a great banner.
since the 18th national congress of the communist party of china, socialism with chinese characteristics has entered a new era. stand on your own two feet. the success of socialism with chinese characteristics has expanded the path of developing countries towards modernization, set an example for developing countries to break away from poverty and backwardness, and provided a new choice for countries and nations in the world who wish to both accelerate development and maintain their independence. internationally, china's governance philosophy and governance practices have been highly appreciated and widely recognized. peaches and plums do not speak, but groin. it is the sharing of experience and moral inspiration that leads the times, not the output of institutions and copy of patterns. facts show that there is not only one modernization path in the world, and any country can find a modernization path that suits its national characteristics as long as it is based on its national conditions and combined with its actual conditions. this is the logic of the times.
socialism with chinese characteristics is in the process of development and will continue to write a new chapter. the chinese communists' understanding of socialism and their grasp of the laws of socialism with chinese characteristics has reached unprecedented heights. but, after all, china is and will be in the primary stage of socialism for a long time, we are the new age how to stick to and develop socialism with chinese characteristics of many theoretical and practical problems, and know not deep opaque, including many problems still need to be solved, which requires we continue to respond to calls for times, bold practice exploration. in particular, we should scientifically understand and grasp the development and changes of the domestic and international situation, unswervingly adhere to the party's basic theory, line and strategy, and constantly improve our ability to uphold and develop socialism with chinese characteristics for a new era through deepening our understanding. in this way, the path of socialism with chinese characteristics will become more firm and broader.
scientific theory that innovation leads the times
the chinese revolution, construction and reform, china from the "backward" to "catch up with the times" to "lead times", these are human society an unprecedented large-scale social and political practice, will inevitably encounter this or that kind of difficulties and challenges, such as the contradictions and problems, through such and such risk and test, and therefore must have a scientific theoretical guidance. from marxism-leninism to the achievements made in adapting marxism to the times in all periods -- mao zedong thought, deng xiaoping theory, the important thought of "three represents" and the scientific outlook on development -- are the scientific theories of the communist party of china, which guide the development of the cause and constantly march from victory to new victory. it is entirely conceivable that without being good at theoretical innovation based on practice and daring to carry out practical exploration under the guidance of theory, the cpc could not maintain its strong vitality, let alone keep pace with history and share destiny with the times. of course, the cause of the party and the people could not have made it all the way to today.
before the 18th national congress of the communist party of china (cpc), china faced a series of prominent problems in its development. due to various reasons and long-term accumulation, there exist many prominent contradictions and problems in china's system and mechanism, which seriously hinder the development of the cause of the party and the country. the enemy forces at home and abroad are intensifying their ideological infiltration into china. with china's growing international status and influence, the united states and other western countries have stepped up containment, interference and containment of china. the party's long-term governance faces many new and significant challenges, as well as prominent corruption within the party. in such circumstances, how to better embodies social consensus, how to break through the interests curing barriers, how to promote the development of towards higher quality, more efficient, more fair and more sustainable direction, how to satisfy the people yearning for a better life, how to push on the modernization of the national governance, how to win in the changing in one hundred from the strategic initiative. all these are major issues concerning the direction, fundamental, overall and strategic nature of upholding and developing socialism with chinese characteristics. facing up to these problems and solving them, the party and people's cause will proceed smoothly, and contemporary china will be able to catch up with and lead the times with a more vigorous posture.
the party central committee with comrade xi as the core by face to face with time and practice development of historic tasks, with extraordinary courage and indomitable fighting spirit, leading the whole party to the national people's great struggle that has a lot of new historical characteristics, to promote all-round, pioneering history of the party and national business achievement, deep and fundamental historical change, promote the socialism with chinese characteristics into a new era, and answered a new era in the great practice system what kind of upholding and developing socialism with chinese characteristics, how to adhere to and develop socialism with chinese characteristics of significant contemporary issues, founded the new age of xi jinping, the thought of socialism with chinese characteristics. this idea not only answered the question of how to view the ideological understanding with "eight explicit" science, but also answered the question of how to do in the practice of development with "fourteen consistent" science, which is the scientific guide and action program for upholding and developing socialism with chinese characteristics in the new era. this thought reflects the requirements of the times and the common aspiration of the people, is to guide the construction of socialism with chinese characteristics and realizing the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation's direction, is for the chinese nation, the chinese people and peoples of all nationalities in the world, harmony of care, to make light of the value of human destiny community concern and value model, for china to achieve from the "catch up with the times" to "lead times" great leap has established basic pointer.
forge the core force that leads the times
for a country and a society to develop and progress, it is necessary for them to have political power to converge and lead. the communist party of china is such a political force. the leadership of the communist party of china is the most fundamental guarantee for the success of china's revolution, construction and reform. comrade mao zedong has long said: "the communist party of china is the core of leadership of the whole chinese people. without such a core, the socialist cause cannot be victorious." at the beginning of reform and opening up, comrade deng xiaoping pointed out, "the communist party leads china and china's socialist modernization drive is led by the communist party. if china is shaken, it will retreat into division and chaos, and it will not be able to achieve modernization. sixty-nine years of historical practice have shown that the leadership of the cpc is fundamental for china to catch up with and lead the times. adhering to the party's leadership in all its work, china has achieved success in reform, achieved the miracle of development and created the "" governance of china" ". for such an ancient country as china to realize national rejuvenation, to catch up with and surpass the times, it has encountered unprecedented contradictions, difficulties, outstanding risks and severe tests. to effectively respond to major challenges, resist major risks, overcome major obstacles and resolve major contradictions, it is essential and most important to adhere to the political orientation of the supreme political leadership of the state, to uphold the party's leadership in all work, and to strengthen and improve the party's leadership.
to strengthen the party's leadership, the key is to always maintain the party's advanced nature and purity, and build the party well and strongly. politics has no preservatives. any political party, regardless of its nature and purpose, may be corrupted and inevitably corrupt if it does not strengthen its own construction. if the party is not strict, weak governance, it will inevitably be eliminated by history. the cpc is highly aware of this issue. there was a time when the principle of exchange of interests in the market economy penetrated into the political life of the party. the leadership of the party was weakened, party building was deficient, party management was loose and soft, the party's ideology was weak, organization was slack, discipline was slack, and unhealthy tendencies and corruption seriously undermined the party. the party central committee with comrade xi as the core to the height of the political consciousness, in the process of advancing the great social revolution constantly promote the party's revolutionary self, adhere to the comprehensive governing party, determined to solve the people reflect the most intense, the biggest threat to the party's long-term ruling, remove a major political party and country hidden trouble, the chinese communist party in the revolutionary forging stronger.
clear the 19th congress put forward the new era of party construction general requirements, give prominence to the political construction in the construction of the party's important position, for the construction of the communist party of china to become one of the leading enterprises in the era of always, people sincerely support, to self revolution, stand the test all kinds of waves, vibrant provides basic follow marxist ruling party. deepening and comprehensively enforcing strict party discipline is always on the way. the cpc needs to strengthen its own construction, not only to consolidate its foundation, to be clean and honest, to be politically sound, but also to be highly competent. it requires not only self-purification and self-improvement, but also self-innovation and self-improvement. the communist party of china (cpc), which has been in power for nearly a century and has been in power for nearly 70 years, is both ambitious and confident, and has always kept sober. which party in the world is so modest, so conscious, so convincing. it is a blessing for the chinese people and a blessing for the chinese nation to have such a political party. as long as the earnest implementation of jinping new era the ideas of socialism with chinese characteristics and the party's 19 big spirit, the political leadership of the communist party of china, the thought leading force, mass organizations, social appeal will be increased, thus always become the pioneers, the national backbone, leading chinese society to realize the great leap "anchored".
looking back, the advanced political party, strong sense of responsibility, correct road and scientific theory are the successful codes and key elements of china's historic leap. if china wants to achieve steady and long-term growth in the course of history leading to a new era, it must adhere to, apply and develop these elements well. history will ultimately prove that with the strong leadership of the party central committee with comrade xi jinping at its core, china will be better able to stand at the forefront of the times and lead the times better with its own "" strong up" ".
