the path of socialism with chinese characteristics is the conclusion of history and the choice of the people
general secretary of the jinping xi pointed out: "the road of socialism with chinese characteristics is a valuable achievement achieved by the party and the people after enduring hardships and overcoming difficulties." historically, the pursuit of socialism with chinese characteristics has gone through countless trials and tribulations, reflecting the remarkable wisdom of the party in uniting and leading the people in mastering their own destiny, and witnessing the great transformation of the chinese nation from salvation to prosperity in modern times.
the path of socialism with chinese characteristics has been explored for a long time and has a profound historical background. "if you want to know the road, you must first be history." history is the best textbook for understanding the path of socialism with chinese characteristics. after the opium war, the false dream of "the heavenly kingdom" was awakened and shattered by the western ships and guns. in the face of the serious crisis of the chinese nation, countless people with lofty ideals have made unremitting exploration of the way to save the country and the people. from the introduction of western artifacts to the study of western systems, from overthrowing the feudal absolute monarchy to holding high the banner of "democracy" and "science", from the completion of the new-democratic revolution to the establishment of the socialist system, the chinese nation has gradually realized the transformation from "copying and attachment" to independence and autonomy in the establishment of the development path, and gradually deepened its belief in socialism and communism. in the new era of reform and opening up and socialist modernization, our party has created the road of socialism with chinese characteristics, and its shape and outline have become increasingly clear in the scientific deployment of successive chinese communists. since entering a new era, the party central committee with comrade jinping xi as the core focuses on "what kind of socialism with chinese characteristics should we uphold and develop in the new era, how to uphold and develop socialism with chinese characteristics", "what kind of modern socialist country should we build, and how to build a modern socialist country", "what kind of long-term ruling marxist party should we build, and how to build a long-term ruling marxist party?" it has closely integrated socialism with chinese characteristics with the "chinese dream". with great historical initiative, great political courage, and a strong sense of responsibility, it has innovated the path of socialism with chinese characteristics and created a new form of human civilization. in short, "only socialism can save china, only socialism with chinese characteristics can develop china", the road of socialism with chinese characteristics is the best choice after multiple comparisons and repeated verification.
the path of socialism with chinese characteristics is highly favored by the people and enjoys broad mass support. "water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it." whether it is the classical exposition of marxism that the people are the subject of history, or the ideological propositions in the excellent traditional chinese culture such as "the people are the most valuable, the country comes second, and the monarch is the light", "the people are the foundation of the state" and "the people's heart is the heart", they all show the prominent significance of the people to the long-term stability of the country. the road of socialism with chinese characteristics has succeeded one after another precisely because it is a road that can monitor the people's feelings, follow their will, win their hearts, protect their interests, and ensure people's livelihood. as early as the early days of the founding of the communist party of china, our party made clear its unswerving people's position. in a series of concrete practices, the party has formed a work line of "from the masses, to the masses", and put forward the fundamental purpose of "serving the people wholeheartedly", and has consistently adhered to it. since entering the new era, the cpc central committee with comrade jinping xi at its core has further enriched and developed the party's people character, put forward a people-centered development philosophy, and actively promoted common prosperity by taking the people's aspiration for a better life as its goal. from beginning to end, the party has persisted in taking "people as the center" as its starting point and goal, and the broad masses of the people have also deeply realized that socialism with chinese characteristics is good, so they sincerely support the party's leadership, fully support the party's work, and jointly expand the path of socialism with chinese characteristics.
the path of socialism with chinese characteristics is the only way to realize the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation
the report to the party's 20th national congress pointed out that "socialism with chinese characteristics is the only way to achieve the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation." from the humiliation of the country, the suffering of the people, and the dust of the civilization, to the extraordinary transformation of the chinese style of modernization, which is pioneering the new, shaking the past and the present, and thriving, this powerfully reveals the role of the path of socialism with chinese characteristics in promoting the creation of a better life for the people and the realization of socialist modernization, and strongly confirms that the path of socialism with chinese characteristics is not only correct and successful. and it will certainly be able to walk steadily and well."
the path of socialism with chinese characteristics has a scientific internal design, which provides multiple guarantees and necessary conditions for the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation. from the perspective of leadership, the path of socialism with chinese characteristics has always adhered to the leadership of the party. marx and engels said: "the communists are the most resolute and always driving part of the workers' parties in all countries." since the birth of the communist party of china, the party has always kept in mind the advanced nature of communists. in exploring and developing the path of socialism with chinese characteristics, the party is not only a pioneer, but also a leader. as general secretary jinping xi said: "the most essential feature of socialism with chinese characteristics is the leadership of the communist party of china, 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." it is with the correct leadership of the party that the chinese nation has ushered in a great leap from standing up, becoming rich to becoming strong. from the perspective of the driving force of development, the path of socialism with chinese characteristics has always put the people first. according to historical materialism, the masses of the people are the decisive driving force for social change and historical evolution. although the leadership of the party has played a major role in promoting the development of the path of socialism with chinese characteristics, it is the people who are more fundamental. the people are not only beneficiaries of the path of socialism with chinese characteristics, but also participants and builders. throughout, the party has attached great importance to the people, "insisting on doing everything for the people and relying on the people." it is in this sense that the chinese-style modernization is the modernization of unity for and by the people. from the perspective of strategic layout, the path of socialism with chinese characteristics is multi-dimensional. since the reform and opening up, the overall layout of socialism with chinese characteristics has undergone a transformation from a "dual structure" in which the economy and politics are "two-handed" to a "five-in-one" in which the economy, politics, culture, society and ecology are coordinated. in addition, the party has also put forward the "four comprehensives" strategic layout, which is mutually promoting and coordinating with it, to promote the high-quality development of chinese-style modernization in various fields from an overall perspective, and then provide possibilities for the free and comprehensive development of people. from the perspective of strategic goals, the path of socialism with chinese characteristics focuses on gradual progress. the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation will not be achieved overnight, and its realization is based on the completion of phased goals. guided by this, the grand blueprint of chinese-style modernization has been gradually turned into reality in the adjustment and improvement of relevant strategies. since entering the new era, the party central committee with comrade jinping xi as the core has based on the historical convergence of the "two centenary goals", made new arrangements for the second centenary goal, and proposed a new "two-step" strategy, with a view to building a great modern socialist country in an all-round way and comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation.
thanks to the adherence to and development of the path of socialism with chinese characteristics, since the 19th national congress of the cpc, we have "overcome many difficult problems that have not been solved for a long time, and accomplished many major and important things concerning the long term." the path of socialism with chinese characteristics already has strategic elements that are more conducive to the great rejuvenation of the chinese nation.
the global significance of adhering to the path of socialism with chinese characteristics
general secretary of the jinping xi pointed out: "whether socialism with chinese characteristics is good or not depends on the facts and the judgment of the chinese people, rather than the subjective assumptions of those who wear colored glasses." the chinese communists and the chinese people are fully confident in providing a chinese solution to mankind's exploration of a better social system." the path of socialism with chinese characteristics is a chinese plan that responds to the "questions of china", the "questions of the world", the "questions of the people" and the "questions of the times" and promotes the development of human civilization.
the path of socialism with chinese characteristics is a path of peace that contributes to peace and development of the international community. general secretary of the jinping xi pointed out: "to continuously make new and greater contributions to mankind is a solemn commitment made long ago by the communist party of china and the chinese people. having come through hardships, the cpc and the chinese people know full well the preciousness of peace and the value of development, and they regard it as their sacred duty to promote world peace and development." although western countries hyped "freedom", "equality", "democracy" and "fraternity", their modernization road was filled with selfish and narrow vulgar concepts, the unhealthy trend of extravagance and thirst, and the expansion and plunder of bloody crimes, which often caused human society to fall into the embarrassment of conflict and regression. on the other hand, the path of socialism with chinese characteristics continues to uphold the culture of "harmony", "harmony" and "harmony among all countries", abandon the barbaric habits of militarism, oppose the outdated logic that "a strong country must seek hegemony", and unswervingly pursue peace, harmony and harmony. since the beginning of the new era, the world has been undergoing profound changes unseen in a century. the international community has become more interconnected than before. new global issues have emerged one after another, and the world has entered a new period of turbulence and change. in this regard, our party has always been committed to keeping the world in mind, fully respecting the diversity of human civilizations, actively promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, deepening international cooperation under the belt and road initiative, actively advocating the common values of mankind, advocating peaceful settlement of international disputes, opposing power politics and hegemonism, and constantly communicating to the international community the values of harmony without diversity and win-win cooperation. it has effectively refuted such false arguments as "west-centered theory", "clash of civilizations theory" and "china threat theory". the path of socialism with chinese characteristics, with an open, inclusive and peaceful attitude, shows the international community that safeguarding one's legitimate rights and interests and conducting extensive cooperation are not mutually contradictory.
the road of socialism with chinese characteristics is a useful road that can provide reference for later developing countries in their modernization drive. the general secretary of the jinping xi pointed out that "there is no identical political system in the world, and there is no political system model that can be applied to all countries." in the history of human modernization, a country's mechanical application of existing theories, blind copying of other countries' models, and excessive reliance on external forces often resulted in acclimatization, and sometimes even jeopardized its own future and destiny. because the soviet union did not fully understand the essence of marxism, did not look at marxism from the perspective of development, did not combine marxism with the concrete reality of its own modernization, it made the mistake of dogmatism, which led to its guiding ideology and development model becoming increasingly closed and rigid, and laid the root of its rapid disintegration. some latin american countries and african countries choose to rely on western developed countries to promote their own modernization process because of "congenital deficiencies", but in reality, they repeatedly encounter the development dilemma of "late weakness" and face various crises in modernization. different from these modernization models, the path of socialism with chinese characteristics combines theory with practice, integrity with innovation, and criticism with absorption. this path has not only enabled china to develop into the world's second largest economy, achieve people's peace and contentment, long-term social stability, and better governance and harmony, but also added new vitality and hope to world socialism. it has responded directly to such discredited questions as "the end of history", "the obsolescence of marxism" and "the collapse of china". history and practice show that the path of socialism with chinese characteristics is a new path of modernization created by ourselves under the guidance of marxism, nourished by china's fine traditional culture, and inspired by mankind's useful experience in its modernization drive. it is in line with china's reality and the trend of history. it has not only accomplished an unprecedented initiative, but also set an example for others to follow. it has broken the mindset of "modernization = westernization", broadened the way for human beings to achieve modernization, and solved the historical problem of how to achieve rapid development of late developing countries on the premise of ensuring independence.
"a river thousands of miles has its source, and a tree thousands of feet high has its root." in the process of moving forward along the road of socialism with chinese characteristics, we have crossed the "mighty pass road is really like iron" yesterday, and are experiencing the "human right path is vicissitudes of life" today, and will eventually march toward the "straight sail to the sea" tomorrow. on the new journey of the new era, we must follow this bright road, always remain modest and prudent, forge ahead with determination, and dare to struggle, continue to advance the great struggle, great project, great cause, and great dream, continue to write a new chapter in adapting marxism to chinese conditions and opening up new horizons for the cause of socialism with chinese characteristics.
