Walking one's own way is the historical conclusion drawn by the party's centuries of struggle
We always believe that the development path of all countries should be chosen by the people of all countries.
The so-called "Chinese model" is the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics created by the Chinese people in their own struggle and practice.
We firmly believe that with the continuous development of socialism with Chinese characteristics, our system will become more and more mature, the superiority of my country's socialist system will be further revealed, and our road will become wider and wider. The impact is bound to increase.
——On January 5, 2013, Xi Jinping's speech at the seminar for the newly recruited Central Committee members and alternate members to study and implement the spirit of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China
Based on its own national conditions and practice, China draws wisdom from Chinese civilization, learns from the strengths of the East and West, adheres to but not rigid, learns from but does not copy, and has formed its own development path through continuous exploration.
All roads lead to Rome.
No one should set one's own development path, let alone impose one's own development path on others.
——On January 17, 2017, Xi Jinping's keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the 2017 World Economic Forum Annual Conference in Davos, Switzerland

The path of socialism with Chinese characteristics is a valuable result that the party and the people have achieved through untold hardships
To realize the Chinese dream, we must follow the Chinese road.
This is the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
This road is not easy to come by. It was developed in the great practice of reform and opening for more than 30 years, and it was developed in the continuous exploration of the People’s Republic of China for more than 60 years since the founding of the People’s Republic of China. What came out of the profound summary was the inheritance of the Chinese nation’s 5,000-year-old civilization, and it has a profound historical origin and a broad practical foundation.
The Chinese nation is a nation with extraordinary creativity. We have created a great Chinese civilization, and we can continue to expand and take a development path that suits China's national conditions.
—— Speech by Xi Jinping at the First Session of the Twelfth National People’s Congress on March 17, 2013
Facing the future, we must stick to our own path.
The direction determines the road, and the road determines destiny.
Our own path is the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
This road was pioneered by the Chinese Communist Party under the leadership of the Chinese people through untold hardships and at a huge price. It has been proved by practice to be a correct path that conforms to China's national conditions and suits the development requirements of the times.

——On July 1, 2016, Xi Jinping's speech at the celebration of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China

Unswervingly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics
The road of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the only way to realize socialist modernization and create a better life for the people. The theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the correct theory that guides the party and people to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The system of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the foundation of contemporary China’s development and progress. The system guarantees that the socialist culture with Chinese characteristics is a powerful spiritual force that encourages the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups to march forward bravely.
The whole party should more consciously increase self-confidence in road, theory, system, and culture. It should neither follow the old road of isolation and rigidity nor the evil road of changing its flag. It should maintain political determination, persist in working hard and prosper the country, and always adhere to peace. Develop socialism with Chinese characteristics.
——Xi Jinping's report at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on October 18, 2017
The practice of 40 years of reform and opening up has inspired us: The direction determines the future, and the road determines the destiny.
If we want to take our destiny in our own hands, we must be firm in our ambitions and the same way.
Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, the theme of all theories and practices of our party has been to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics.
In a country like China with more than 5,000 years of civilization and a population of more than 1.3 billion to promote reform and development, there is no textbook that can be regarded as a golden rule, and there is no teacher who can instigate the Chinese people.
Mr. Lu Xun once said: "What is a road? It is trampled on from a place where there is no road, opened from a place where there are only thorns." The road of socialism with Chinese characteristics is a broad road for contemporary China to catch up with the times and lead the development of the times. Go on unwaveringly.
——On December 18, 2018, Xi Jinping's speech at the celebration of the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up
Over the past 70 years since the founding of New China, China has undergone earth-shaking changes. The fundamental reason is that we have found a correct path that conforms to China's national conditions, conforms to the trend of the times, and has the support of the people. This is socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Today, the Chinese people are full of high confidence and will unswervingly follow this path.
——On November 22, 2019, Xi Jinping emphasized when meeting with foreign representatives attending the 2019 "Innovative Economy Forum"
It is necessary to learn history wisely in the study and education of party history, which is the prerequisite for increasing credibility, advocating morality, and practicing.
From the party’s glorious achievements, hardships, historical experience, and fine traditions, we must deeply understand why the Communist Party of China can, why Marxism is practiced, and why socialism with Chinese characteristics is good, etc., and clarify the historical logic, theoretical logic, and practical logic among them.
We must deeply understand the historical inevitability of upholding the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and strengthen our confidence in the leadership of the party.
It is necessary to deeply understand the truth of Marxism and its Chinese innovation theory, and strengthen the firmness of consciously implementing the party's innovation theory.
We must deeply understand the correctness of the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics and unswervingly follow the only correct path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
