general programme
The CPC is the vanguard of the Chinese working class, the vanguard of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, the leadership core of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, representing the development requirements of China's advanced productive forces, the direction of China's advanced culture, and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the Chinese people. The highest ideal and ultimate goal of the Party is to achieve communism.

Marxism Leninism reveals the law of the development of human social history. Its basic principles are correct and have strong vitality. The highest ideal of communism pursued by the CPC can only be realized on the basis of the full development and highly developed socialist society. The development and improvement of the socialist system is a long-term historical process. Adhering to the basic principles of Marxism Leninism and following the path chosen voluntarily by the Chinese people that is suitable for China's national conditions, China's socialist cause will surely achieve ultimate victory.
The CPC, with Comrade Mao Zedong as its main representative, combined the basic principles of Marxism Leninism with the concrete practice of the Chinese revolution and founded Mao Zedong Thought. Mao Zedong Thought is the application and development of Marxism Leninism in China, the correct theoretical principles and experience summary on Chinese revolution and construction that have been proved by practice, and the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the CPC. Under the guidance of Mao Zedong Thought, the CPC led the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country. After a long period of revolutionary struggle against imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat capitalism, it achieved the victory of the New Democracy revolution and established the People's Republic of China under the people's democratic dictatorship; After the founding of New China, it successfully carried out socialist transformation, completed the transition from New Democracy to socialism, established the basic socialist system, and developed the socialist economy, politics, and culture.
Since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the CPC, with Comrade Deng Xiaoping as the main representative, has summarized the positive and negative experience since the founding of New China, emancipated the mind, sought truth from facts, realized the shift of the work center of the whole party to economic construction, implemented reform and opening up, opened up a new period for the development of the cause of socialism, and gradually formed the line, principles and policies for building socialism with Chinese characteristics, Clarified the basic issues of building socialism, consolidating and developing socialism in China, and established Deng Xiaoping Theory. Deng Xiaoping Theory is the product of the combination of the basic principles of Marxism Leninism and contemporary Chinese practice and the characteristics of the times. It is the inheritance and development of Mao Zedong Thought under the new historical conditions, a new stage of the development of Marxism in China, a Marxism in contemporary China, and the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the CPC, guiding the socialist modernization cause of China to move forward.
Since the Fourth Plenary Session of the Thirteenth Central Committee, the CPC, with Comrade Jiang Zemin as the main representative, has deepened their understanding of what socialism is, how to build socialism, what kind of party to build, and how to build the party in the practice of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, accumulated new valuable experience in governing the party and the country, and formed the important thought of "Three Represents". The important thought of "Three Represents" is the inheritance and development of Marxism Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory. It reflects the new requirements of the development and changes of the contemporary world and China on the work of the Party and the state. It is a powerful theoretical weapon to strengthen and improve Party building and promote the self-improvement and development of socialism in China. It is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the CPC and the guiding ideology that the Party must adhere to for a long time. Always adhering to the "Three Represents" is the foundation of our party's establishment, governance, and source of strength.
Since the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC, with Comrade Hu Jintao as the main representative, has adhered to Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of "Three Represents" as the guidance, according to the new development requirements, deeply understood and answered the major questions of what kind of development to achieve under the new situation, how to develop, and formed the scientific development concept of people-oriented, comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development. The Scientific Outlook on Development is a scientific theory that comes down in one continuous line with Marxism Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of "Three Represents" and keeps pace with the times. It is a concentrated embodiment of the Marxist world outlook and methodology on development, a major achievement of the sinicization of Marxism, a crystallization of the collective wisdom of the CPC, and a guiding ideology that must be adhered to for a long time to develop socialism with Chinese characteristics.
It is an important component of the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and an action guide for the entire Party and the people to strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It must be upheld and continuously developed in the long term.
The fundamental reason for all the achievements and progress we have made since the reform and opening up can be summarized as: opening up the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, forming the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, establishing the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, and developing the socialist culture with Chinese characteristics. All Party members should cherish, persist in, and continuously develop the path, theoretical system, system, and culture that the Party has created through arduous efforts, hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, strengthen confidence in the path, theory, system, and culture, carry forward the spirit of struggle, enhance the ability to struggle, implement the Party's basic theory, line, and strategy, and promote modernization construction We strive to achieve the three major historical tasks of national reunification, maintaining world peace, and promoting common development, achieve the second centenary goal, and realize the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Since its establishment, the CPC has always regarded working for the happiness of the Chinese people and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as its original mission. After 100 years of struggle, it has fundamentally changed the future and destiny of the Chinese people, opened up the right path to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, demonstrated the strong vitality of Marxism, profoundly affected the process of world history, and forged the CPC, which is at the forefront of the times. Through long-term practice, we have accumulated valuable historical experience of adhering to the leadership of the Party, putting the people first, adhering to theoretical innovation, adhering to independence and autonomy, adhering to the Chinese path, holding the world in mind, adhering to exploration and innovation, daring to struggle, adhering to the united front, and adhering to self revolution. This is the spiritual wealth jointly created by the Party and the people, which must be cherished, persisted in the long term, and continuously enriched and developed in practice.
China is currently in and will remain in the primary stage of socialism for a long time. This is an insurmountable historical stage in the construction of socialist modernization in China, which was originally economically and culturally backward, and it will take hundreds of years. Our socialist construction must proceed from our national conditions, follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese path to modernization. At present, the main contradiction in Chinese society is the contradiction between the growing demand for a better life and the imbalanced and insufficient development of the people. Due to domestic factors and international influence, class struggle still exists for a long time within a certain range, and may intensify under certain conditions, but it is no longer the main contradiction. The fundamental task of China's socialist construction is to further liberate the productive forces, develop them, gradually realize socialist modernization, and for this reason reform aspects and links in relations of production and superstructure that do not adapt to the development of productive forces. We must adhere to and improve the basic economic systems, such as public ownership as the mainstay, multi ownership economy developing together, distribution according to work as the mainstay, multiple distribution methods coexisting, and the socialist market economy, encourage some regions and some people to get rich first, gradually realize the common prosperity of all people, and constantly meet the people's growing needs for a better life on the basis of production development and social wealth growth, Promote comprehensive human development. Development is the top priority of our party's governance and national rejuvenation. We must adhere to the people centered development idea, grasp the new stage of development, implement the new development concept of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern with domestic systemic circulation as the main body and domestic and international double cycles promoting each other, and promote high-quality development. All work should take as the overall starting point and testing standard the development of productive forces in socialist society, the enhancement of the comprehensive national strength of socialist countries, and the improvement of people's living standards. Respect for labor, knowledge, talent, and creativity should be respected, so as to achieve development for the people, rely on the people, and share the achievements of development with the people. We must coordinate and promote economic, political, cultural, social, and ecological civilization construction in accordance with the overall layout of the "Five in One" and the "Four Comprehensives" strategic layout of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, coordinate and promote the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country, deepen reform, rule the country by law, and strictly govern the Party. The strategic goal of economic and social development in the new era and new journey is to basically achieve socialist modernization by 2035, and to build China into a socialist modernized strong country by the middle of this century.
