The fundamental reason for all our achievements and progress since reform and opening up is, in the final analysis, that we have blazed a path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, established a theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and established a system of socialism with Chinese characteristics. All party members must cherish, insist for a long time and development (ak) party hard enough to start this way, the theory system, this system, holding the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, to promote the modernization construction, the complete reunification of the motherland, safeguard world peace and promote common development of the three major historical tasks.

China is in the primary stage of socialism and will remain so for a long time to come. This is an insurmountable historical stage in building socialist modernization in China, which is economically and culturally backward. It will take hundreds of years. In building socialism in China, we must proceed from our national conditions and take the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics. At the present stage, the principal contradiction in our society is the contradiction between the growing material and cultural needs of the people and the backward social production. Due to domestic factors and international influences, class struggle still exists for a long time to a certain extent and may intensify under certain conditions, but it is no longer the principal contradiction. The fundamental task of China's socialist construction is to further liberate the productive forces, develop them and gradually realize socialist modernization, and to this end reform the relations of production and the aspects and links in the superstructure that do not conform to the development of the productive forces. Must uphold and improve the public ownership as the main body, a variety of ownership economy common development of the basic economic system, adhere to and improve the distribution according to work as the main body, the system of a variety of modes of distribution coexist, encourage some areas and some people become prosperous first, gradually eliminate poverty and achieve common prosperity, on the basis of the development of production and the growth of social wealth continuously to meet people's growing material and cultural needs, promoting the all-round development of human beings.

In the new stage of the new century, the strategic goal of economic and social development is to consolidate and develop the moderately prosperous society that has been preliminarily achieved, and to build a moderately prosperous society of a higher level that will benefit over one billion people by the centenary of the founding of the party. By the centenary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's per capita GDP had reached the level of a moderately developed country, basically realizing modernization.

In building up the party, we must resolutely meet the following four basic requirements:

First, adhere to the party's basic line. The whole party should unify its thinking and action with deng xiaoping theory, the important thought of three represents, the scientific outlook on development and the party's basic line, and unswervingly persist in doing so for a long time to come. We must unify reform and opening up with the four cardinal principles, fully implement the party's basic line, fully implement the party's basic program for the primary stage of socialism, and oppose all wrong tendencies on the "left" and the "right". We will strengthen the building of leading bodies at all levels, select and employ cadres who have made outstanding achievements in reform, opening up and socialist modernization and who are trusted by the masses, train and bring up millions of successors to the cause of socialism, and organizically ensure that the party's basic theory, line, program and experience are carried out.

Second, we must emancipate our minds, seek truth from facts, advance with The Times, and be realistic and pragmatic. The party's ideological line is to proceed from reality in everything, integrate theory with practice, seek truth from facts, and test and develop truth in practice. The whole party must adhere to this ideological line, actively explore, boldly experiment, make innovations, carry out work creatively, constantly study new situations, summarize new experiences, solve new problems, enrich and develop marxism in practice, and advance the localization of marxism in China.

Third, we must serve the people wholeheartedly. Apart from the interests of the working class and the overwhelming majority of the people, the party has no special interests of its own. At all times, the party puts the interests of the masses first, shares weal and woe with them, maintains the closest ties with them, upholds the principle of exercising power for the people, serving their interests and serving their interests, and does not allow any party member to be divorced from or above the people. The party follows the mass line in its work, doing everything for the masses, relying on the masses in everything, going from the masses to the masses, and translating the correct views of the party into conscious action by the masses. Our party's greatest political advantage is its close ties with the masses, and its greatest danger after it takes power is its separation from the masses. The problem of party style and the party's contact with the people is a matter of life and death for the party. The party adheres to the principle of addressing both the symptoms and root causes of corruption, taking comprehensive measures to address both punishment and prevention, and paying attention to prevention.

Fourth, uphold democratic centralism. Democratic centralism is the combination of centralism based on democracy and democracy under the guidance of centralism. It is not only the fundamental organizational principle of the party, but also the application of the mass line in the party's life. We must give full play to intra-party democracy, respect the principal position of party members, protect their democratic rights, and bring into play the initiative and creativity of party organizations at all levels and members. Correct concentration must be carried out to ensure the unity and unity of the whole party and its concerted action, and to ensure that the decisions of the party are implemented promptly and effectively. We should strengthen the sense of organization and discipline and make everyone equal in the face of party discipline. We will strengthen oversight over leading party organs and party members and cadres, especially major cadres, and constantly improve the intra-party oversight system. The party correctly conducts criticism and self-criticism in its political life, engages in ideological struggles on matters of principle, upholds truth and corrects mistakes. We should strive to create a lively political situation in which there is centralism and democracy, discipline and freedom, unity of will and personal well-being.

Party leadership is mainly political, ideological and organizational leadership. The party must meet the requirements of reform, opening up and socialist modernization, uphold scientific, democratic and law-based governance, and strengthen and improve its leadership. The party must, in accordance with the principle of taking the overall situation into consideration and coordinating all parties, play the role of the core leader in various organizations at the same level. The party must concentrate on leading economic development, organize and coordinate the forces of all sectors, work with one heart on economic development, and promote all-round economic and social development. The party must carry out democratic and scientific decision-making, formulate and implement correct lines, principles and policies, do a good job in its organizational work, publicity and education, and give full play to the exemplary and vanguard role of all party members. The party must operate within the limits of the constitution and the law. The party must ensure that the legislative, judicial and administrative organs of the state, economic and cultural organizations and people's organizations work actively, independently and responsibly and in a coordinated manner. The party must strengthen its leadership over trade unions, the communist youth league, women's federations and other mass organizations and give full play to their role. The party must adapt itself to developments and changes in the situation, improve the leadership system, improve the way of leadership, and enhance its ability to govern. Party members must work closely with the non-party masses to jointly build socialism with Chinese characteristics.
