- CPC rolls out Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era -  Gas Regulator

 

The CPC has given shape to the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, a long-term guide to action that the Party must adhere to and develop.

 

The thought "builds on and further enriches Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Theory of Three Represents, and the Scientific Outlook on Development," Xi said. "It represents the latest achievement in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context."

 

Xi defined components of the thought, calling it a "guide to action" that must be adhered to and steadily developed on a long-term basis for all Party members and all Chinese people in their efforts to achieve national rejuvenation.

- Principal contradiction facing Chinese society has evolved in new era

 

"What we now face is the contradiction between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people's ever-growing needs for a better life," Xi said.

 

The evolution of the principal contradiction represents a "historic shift that affects the whole landscape and that creates many new demands for the work of the Party and the country," he said.

 

Previously the principal contradiction was described as one between "the ever-growing material and cultural needs of the people and backward social production."

 

Great modern socialist country

 

- China to basically realize socialist modernization by 2035

 

Xi said that the CPC will lead the country to basically realize socialist modernization by 2035.

 

This is the first stage of a two-stage development plan that the CPC drew up for the period from 2020 to the middle of the 21st century.

- National rejuvenation just 'wishful thinking' without CPC leadership

 

Without the leadership of the CPC, national rejuvenation would just be "wishful thinking," Xi said. -  Gas Regulator

 

"We must keep on strengthening the Party's ability to lead politically, to guide through theory, to organize the people, and to inspire society, thus ensuring that the Party's great vitality and strong ability are forever maintained," he said.

 

- Achieving national rejuvenation will be 'no walk in the park’

 

Citing a Chinese saying that "the last leg of a journey just marks the halfway point," Xi demanded that every Party member "be prepared to work even harder toward this goal." -  Gas Regulator

 

"Today, we are closer, more confident, and more capable than ever before of making the goal of national rejuvenation a reality," he said. -  Gas Regulator

 

"Realizing our great dream demands a great struggle," Xi said.
