Upholding the Party’s overall leadership is the only way to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics
1 The Communist Party of China is the leadership core of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the backbone of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation to deal with various risks and tests at home and abroad. Party, government, military, civil and academic, east, west, south, north and middle, the Party leads everything. Upholding the Party’s overall leadership is the fundamental and lifeline of the Party and the country, the interests and happiness of the people of all ethnic groups in the country, and the stabilization needle for overcoming all difficulties and risks. Making mistakes on this issue is often disastrous and subversive.General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and the greatest advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics is the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and the party is the highest political leadership force." All our careers are based on this foundation and are rooted in this most essential feature and greatest advantage.
Upholding the leadership of the Communist Party of China is an inevitable result of the historical development of China in modern times and a historical choice of the Chinese people. The most fundamental reason why the Chinese people and the Chinese nation can reverse the historical destiny in modern times and achieve today's great achievements is the strong leadership of the Party. Over the past hundred years, the Party has been committed to seeking happiness for the people and rejuvenation for the nation, and has united and led hundreds of millions of people to write the most magnificent epic in the history of the Chinese nation for thousands of years. The Chinese nation has ushered in a great leap from standing up, getting rich to becoming strong. History and reality have proved that without the Communist Party of China, there would be no New China and no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. This is the most important conclusion to summarize the 100-year history of our party and the most valuable experience of the party's struggle in a century.
Upholding the Party’s overall leadership, we must first safeguard General Secretary Xi Jinping’s core position in the Party Central Committee and the core position of the whole Party, and safeguard the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee. The Party established Comrade Xi Jinping's core position as the Party Central Committee and the core position of the whole Party, and established the guiding position of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, reflecting the common wishes of the whole Party, the whole army, all countries and ethnic groups, and is of decisive significance for the development of the cause of the Party and the country in the new era and for the promotion of the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Upholding the Party’s overall leadership is not an empty slogan, and it cannot be just about verbal statements, but must be implemented in practical actions. We must firmly support the " two establish ", effectively enhance the " four consciousnesses ", firm up the " four self-confidence ", and achieve the " two maintenance ".
The leadership of the Party is comprehensive, systematic and holistic. To uphold the Party’s overall leadership, we must give full play to the Party’s political leadership advantages, implement the Party’s leadership in all fields, aspects and links of socialist modernization construction, and promote the vigorous development of all undertakings of the Party and the country. The Party’s leadership position in taking overall charge and coordinating all parties must be implemented and must be reflected in all aspects such as economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction, ecological civilization construction, national defense and military, national reunification, diplomatic work, and party building. Which field, aspect, or link is missing and weakened, it will weaken the Party’s strength and damage the cause of the Party and the country.
Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the only way to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation
Direction determines the road, and the road determines the destiny. Socialism with Chinese characteristics did not fall from the sky, but the fundamental achievements made by the Party and the people through untold hardships and huge costs. The Chinese Communists, with Comrade Mao Zedong as the main representative, won the great victory of the new democratic revolution, completed the socialist revolution and promoted the construction of socialism, created fundamental social conditions for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, laid the fundamental political premise and institutional foundation, and provided valuable experience, theoretical preparation and material foundation for the creation of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. The Chinese Communists, represented by Comrade Deng Xiaoping as the main one, successfully created socialism with Chinese characteristics. The Chinese Communists, represented by Comrade Jiang Zemin as the main representative, have successfully pushed socialism with Chinese characteristics into the 21st century. The Chinese Communists, represented by Comrade Hu Jintao, have successfully upheld and developed socialism with Chinese characteristics under the new situation. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has comprehensively grasped the great struggle, great project, great cause and great dream, promoted the cause of the Party and the country to achieve historic achievements and undergo historic changes, and provided a more perfect institutional guarantee, a more solid material foundation, and a more proactive spiritual strength for the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: " walks its own way, which is the entire theoretical and practical foothold of the Party, and is also the historical conclusion drawn by the Party's century-long struggle."In the century of struggle, the Party has always insisted on starting from our country's national conditions, correctly grasping the development and changes of the main social contradictions, scientifically determined the Party's goals, program and action guide for different periods of revolution, construction, and reform, and led the people to explore and form the path of new democratic revolution, socialist revolution and construction, and successfully opened up the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The Chinese road is a correct path that conforms to China's reality, carries the ideals and explorations of generations of Chinese Communists, carries the long-cherished wishes and expectations of countless people with lofty ideals, and embodies the struggle of hundreds of millions of people. and sacrifice are the inevitable choices for the development of China's social development in modern times.
Practice has fully proved that Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the banner of unity, the banner of progress, and the banner of victory of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people. We must comprehensively build a modern socialist country and comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must always hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics and unswervingly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The path of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the creation of people The people live a better life and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. On the road ahead, we must adhere to the economic development as the center, adhere to the four basic principles, adhere to the reform and opening up of the , adhere to independence and self-reliance, adhere to the foundation of our own strength, and adhere to the destiny of China's development and progress in our own hands. As long as we firmly believe in the road, adhere to the unchanging ambition and the unchanging path, we must neither follow the old path of closure and rigidity, nor follow the changing flags and changing flags The evil path will surely be able to build our country into a prosperous, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful socialist modern power.

Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era. We are closer, more confident and capable than any period in history to achieve the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Unity and struggle is the only way for the Chinese people to create historical achievements
Unity is strength, unity can win. Only by striving to create the future will struggle succeed. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "For a hundred years, all achievements made by the Party and the people are the result of unity and struggle, and Unity and struggle is the most prominent spiritual symbol of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people. "In the historical process of promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, our Party has always adhered to great unity and great unity, united all forces that can be united, mobilized all positive factors that can be mobilized, and gathered the strength of common struggle to the greatest extent. Unity and struggle is an important magic weapon for the Party and the people to overcome difficulties and forge ahead. It is the spiritual code for the Party to create great achievements and write a brilliant chapter. It is the precious spiritual quality that the Party has united and led the Chinese people to work tirelessly for a hundred years.
The practice of the new era shows us: United and struggle produces cohesion, creativity, combat effectiveness, and new productivity. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has relied closely on the people to stabilize the economy and promote development, fight poverty, build a well-off society, control the epidemic, fight against major disasters, respond to changes and resolve crises, We have overcome unprecedented risks and challenges, created impressive miracles on earth, fully demonstrated the great power of the whole Party and the people of the whole country to unite and unite, and vividly demonstrated the spirit of the whole Party and the people of the whole country to think together and work together. Practice has proved that the great achievements of the new era are made, worked hard and fought together by the people.
We have created a brilliant history through unity and struggle, and we must also open up a bright future through unity and struggle. Today, we are closer, more confident and capable than at any time in history to achieve the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. At the same time, we must be clearly aware that the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation cannot be achieved easily or easily, and we must be prepared to make more arduous and arduous efforts.On the new journey, we must continuously consolidate and develop the great unity of the whole Party and the great unity of the people of the whole country, ensure that the Party has strong political cohesion and self-confidence in unity and struggle, and gather the tremendous strength to overcome difficulties together. We must adhere to the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, establish a strong viewpoint on the masses, implement the mass line, respect the people's pioneering spirit, adhere to everything for the people and rely on the people, come from and go to the masses, always maintain flesh-and-blood ties with the people, always accept criticism and supervision of the people, and always breathe with the people, share the same destiny with the people, and always share the same heart with the people. We must adhere to the unity of consistency and diversity, strive to seek the greatest common divisor, draw the largest concentric circle, strengthen the great unity of the Chinese people at home and abroad, and form a powerful synergy to realize the Chinese dream together.
Implementing the new development concept of is the only way for my country to develop and grow in the new era
Development is the first priority of the Party in governing and revitalizing the country, and it is the basis and key to solving all problems in our country. Whether the development concept is correct fundamentally determines the development results and even success or failure. A certain development practice is guided by certain development concepts. Development concept is the forerunner of development actions, strategic, programmatic and leading things, and things that manage the overall situation, fundamentals, directions, and long-term . A very important aspect of our Party leading the people to govern the country is to answer the major question of what kind of development to achieve and how to achieve development. Practice tells us that development is a constantly changing process, the development environment will not be unchanged, the development conditions will not be unchanged, and the development concept will naturally not be unchanged. Once the development concept is correct, the goals and tasks will be decided, and the policies and measures will be decided accordingly. In the long-term struggle and exploration, our party has continuously conducted timely researched and proposed development ideas that are in line with reality in accordance with the development and changes of the situation and tasks, effectively promoting the healthy development of various undertakings.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has scientifically judged the situation and formed many major theoretical innovations in economic and social development. Among them, the new development concept with innovation, coordination, greenness, openness and sharing as the main content is the most important and most important. The new development concept was formed on the basis of a profound summary of domestic and foreign development experiences and lessons, and was proposed to address the prominent contradictions and problems in my country's development. 's new development concept is a concentrated reflection of my country's development ideas, development directions and development focus. is a concentrated reflection of my country's development experience since the reform and opening up , reflecting our party's deepening understanding of the laws of economic and social development. The new development concept is a baton and a traffic light. Guided by the new development concept, we have overcome many problems that have not been solved for a long time, accomplished many major and important matters that are related to the long-term, and promoted the cause of the Party and the country to achieve world-renowned major achievements.
General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: "The whole Party must fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development concept." The new development concept is a systematic theoretical system , which answers a series of theoretical and practical issues on the purpose, motivation, method, and path of development, and clarifies major political issues such as our Party’s political stance, value orientation, development model, and development path on development. We must grasp the new development concept from the fundamental purpose, problem-oriented, and sense of crisis, adhere to a systematic concept, and take more precise and pragmatic measures to effectively solve the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development, deepen reform and opening up, do the two major issues of development security, and steadily promote common prosperity, so that the people's sense of gain, happiness and security are more fulfilling, more secure and more sustainable. must implement the new development concept in the entire process and all areas of economic and social development, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, strive to promote the high-quality development of , continuously improve the competitiveness and sustainability of my country's development, and enable my country to take the initiative and win the future in the increasingly fierce international competition.

Comprehensive and strict governance of the party is the only way for the party to maintain vitality and take a new road to take the exam
courage to self-revolution is the most distinctive character and unique advantage of our party, and is a significant difference between our party and other political parties. Advanced Marxist parties are not born, but are tempered in the cruel practice of struggle and tempered in the long-term and continuous self-revolution. In the magnificent struggle of over the past hundred years, our party has always insisted on leading the great social revolution with great self-revolution, and insisted on leading the great social revolution with courage to carry out self-revolution while leading the great social revolution. The reason why the Party is great is not that it does not make mistakes, but that it never hides its illness and avoids medical treatment, dares to face problems directly, turns the knife inward, and is brave enough to revolutionize itself, carry out criticism and self-criticism. After a century of vicissitudes, the Party has become more vibrant, tempered and more energetic. The secret lies in always adhering to the truth, correcting mistakes, resolutely fighting against all issues that weaken the Party's advanced nature and damage the Party's purity, and ensuring that the Party always becomes the pioneer of the times, the backbone of the nation, and the backbone of the people with its own strength.
Self-revolution is the second answer to our party’s historical cycle of governance, chaos, rise and fall. The spirit of self-revolution is a powerful support for our party to maintain its youthful vitality. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has comprehensively governed the party with unprecedented courage and determination, and has launched a "combination punch" of self-revolution. Its ability to purify, improve, innovate and improve itself has been significantly enhanced. The political ecology within the party with a clean and upright atmosphere has been continuously formed and developed, and the party has become stronger in revolutionary forging. Comprehensive and strict governance of the Party is a great practice of the Party’s self-revolution in the new era, and has opened up a new realm of self-revolution for a century-old Party.
After comprehensively governing the Party with strict discipline since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have solved many prominent problems within the Party, but the test of governance, reform and opening up, market economy, and external environment faced by the Party will exist for a long time, and the danger of spiritual slackness, insufficient ability, alienation from the masses, and negative corruption will exist for a long time. General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: " comprehensive and strict governance of the Party is always on the road, and the Party's self-revolution is always on the road. must not be relaxed or tired or tired of war." Our party has achieved glorious achievements over a hundred years, and has praised it a lot within and outside the party, at home and abroad. The more this happens, the more we must carry forward the spirit of self-revolution. We must not lose ourselves in the cheers. Instead, we must remember that the boat is more urgent and the road is steeper when people are halfway up the mountain. We should regard comprehensive and strict governance of the party as an eternal topic for strengthening party building and as a lifelong topic for all party members and cadres.
From now on, the central task of the Communist Party of China is to unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups in the country to fully build a socialist modern power, achieve the second centenary goal, and comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese-style modernization. On the new road to taking the exam, we must carry forward the great spirit of building the Party, unswervingly govern the Party with strict discipline, and deepen the new great project of Party building in the new era, and guide and promote the improvement of the effectiveness of governing the country with the results of party management and governance. We must implement the general requirements for Party building in the new era, improve the comprehensive and strict governance system, resolutely eliminate all viruses that erode the healthy body of the Party, ensure that the Party does not deteriorate, change color, or taste, and ensure that our Party sticks to its original aspiration and mission and always becomes the strong leadership core of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
