More than a hundred years ago, the sparks of thought converged here into a storm that stirred China.
Do you want Marxism?
With what doctrine to transform Chinese society?
In the midst of fierce debates and repeated comparisons, the torch of truth has been raised high, illuminating the path of quest in the dark.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "What kind of doctrine a country implements depends on whether the doctrine can solve the historical issues facing the country."
The new era has raised new historical issues for the Chinese Communists:
——What kind of socialism with Chinese characteristics should we uphold and develop, and how should we uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics?
——What kind of powerful modern socialist country will we build and how to build a great modern socialist country?

Upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics is a big article.
Instead of taking the old road of being closed and rigid, and not taking the evil road of changing the banner and changing the banner, the task of contemporary Chinese Communists is to continue to write this great article.
It's up to The communist party to do thing well in China.
In the face of the vague understanding and lack of action in the party's leadership of upholding the party's leadership, and the weakening, inefficiency, diminution and marginalization of the implementation of the party's leadership, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core is engaged in the cause of the party and the country. The height of the future and destiny will be answered in a clear-cut way in theory and practice.
Include "the Party, government, military and civilian studies, east, west, north, south, and center, the party leads everything" into the party constitution; "the leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics" into the constitution; implement the party's leadership through a series of institutional arrangements All aspects of the whole process of governing the country...
