He stressed: Comrade Mao Zedong is a great Marxist, a great proletarian revolutionary, strategist, and theoretician, a great pioneer of Sinicizing Marxism, a great founder of China's socialist modernization drive, a great patriot and national hero of China in modern times, the core of the party's first generation of central leadership collective, and a generation of great men who led the Chinese people to completely change their own destiny and the appearance of the country. He is a great internationalist who has made great contributions to the liberation of the oppressed nations of the world and the cause of human progress. Mao Zedong Thought is the precious spiritual wealth of our party and will guide our actions for a long time. The best way to commemorate Comrade Mao Zedong is to continue to push forward the cause he started.

Li Qiang, Zhao Leji, Wang Huning, Ding Xuexiang, and Li Xi, members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, and Han Zheng, vice president of the People's Republic of China, attended the forum, and Cai Qi, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, presided over the forum.

In his speech, Xi Jinping pointed out that Comrade Mao Zedong's life was a life of unremitting struggle for the prosperity and strength of the country, the rejuvenation of the nation, and the happiness of the people. He led the people to open up the historical process of Sinicizing Marxism, forged the great, glorious, and correct Communist Party of China, established a new China in which the people were masters of their own affairs, created an advanced socialist system, created an invincible new-type people's army, and made indelible historical contributions to the Chinese nation and the Chinese people.

Xi Jinping stressed that Comrade Mao Zedong dedicated his life to the party and the people, leaving behind the lofty spiritual demeanor of the descendants of Yongzhi. Comrade Mao Zedong has displayed a great revolutionary leader's far-sighted political vision, unswerving revolutionary conviction, extraordinary courage to open up new ground, perfect art of struggle, outstanding and superb leadership ability, pure feelings for the people, open-minded and broad-minded realm, and fine style of arduous struggle, and has won the love and admiration of the whole party and the people of all nationalities throughout the country.

Xi Jinping pointed out that comprehensively promoting the building of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization is the central task of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups in the new era and new journey. This is the unfinished business of Mao Zedong and other revolutionaries of the older generation, and it is the solemn historical responsibility of the contemporary Chinese communists. On the new journey, we must not forget our original aspiration, keep our mission firmly in mind, strengthen historical self-confidence, grasp the historical initiative, and continue to push forward the grand cause of Chinese-style modernization.

Xi Jinping stressed that Chinese-style modernization is the cause of all Chinese people, and we must closely rely on the people, gather the infinite wisdom and strength hidden in the people, and fully stimulate the historical initiative of all the people. It is necessary to adhere to the basic viewpoint of historical materialism that the people are the fundamental driving force for creating history, uphold the dominant position of the people, and take the safeguarding, realization, and development of the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people as the starting point and end goal of all work, so that the fruits of modernization can benefit all the people in a more equitable manner. It is necessary to improve the institutional system in which the people are the masters of the country, improve the institutional mechanism for safeguarding social fairness and justice, strive to protect and improve the people's livelihood, follow the mass line in the new era, always maintain flesh-and-blood ties with the people, always accept the people's criticism and supervision, and always breathe the same breath, share the same destiny and be heart-to-heart with the people, so that Chinese-style modernization will have the most reliable, deepest and most lasting source of strength.

Xi Jinping pointed out that unswervingly adhering to and advancing with the times to develop Marxism, vigorously promoting theoretical innovation on the basis of practice, and consciously using Marxism of the Chinese era to guide new practice is the successful way for our party to grasp the historical initiative, keep up with the pace of the times, and constantly open up a new situation in the development of the cause. Practice is endless, theoretical innovation is endless, and understanding the truth will never end, so we must constantly open up a new realm for the Sinicization of Marxism and the modernization of the times. Chinese-style modernization has opened up broad prospects for the party's theoretical innovation and put forward new and more arduous and arduous tasks. It is necessary to persistently integrate the basic tenets of Marxism with China's specific reality and with China's excellent traditional culture, deeply explore the laws governing Chinese-style modernization, constantly answer brand-new topics encountered in practice, and lead practical innovation with theoretical innovation.

Xi Jinping stressed that reform and opening up is an important magic weapon for contemporary China to catch up with the times in great strides, and is a key move to determine the success or failure of Chinese-style modernization. To promote Chinese-style modernization, it is necessary to further deepen reform and opening up in an all-round way, constantly liberate and develop the social productive forces, and liberate and enhance social vitality. It is necessary to conform to the new development trend of the times, the new requirements of practical development, and the new expectations of the people, with a strong determination to reform to the end, move in earnest, dare to face difficulties, make precise, coordinated and continuous efforts, resolutely break down all institutional and institutional obstacles that restrict the smooth progress of Chinese-style modernization, continuously inject new impetus into Chinese-style modernization in an all-round way, and constantly expand the development space of Chinese-style modernization.

Xi Jinping pointed out that Chinese-style modernization is socialist modernization under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and only by maintaining the soberness and firmness to solve the problems unique to the big party at all times and building the party into a stronger and more powerful party can we ensure that Chinese-style modernization cuts through the waves and is stable and far-reaching. It is necessary to implement the general requirements of party building in the new era, lead the work of party building with the party's political construction, improve the system of comprehensive and strict governance of the party, comprehensively promote the party's self-purification, self-improvement, self-innovation, and self-improvement, and adhere to the integrated promotion of not daring to be corrupt, not being corrupt, and not wanting to be corrupt, so that our party will stick to its original mission, walk in the forefront of the times, always maintain vigorous vitality and vigorous vitality, and ensure that our party will never change its quality, color, and taste.

Xi Jinping stressed that Chinese-style modernization requires all Chinese sons and daughters to work together and participate in grand undertakings. It is necessary to comprehensively, accurately and unswervingly implement the principles of "one country, two systems", "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong", "Macao people governing Macao", and a high degree of autonomy, adhere to the rule of law in governing Hong Kong and Macao, adhere to and improve the "one country, two systems" system and system, implement the central government's overall jurisdiction, implement the principles of "patriots administering Hong Kong" and "patriots governing Macao", and uphold the unity of the central government's overall jurisdiction and ensuring a high degree of autonomy of the special administrative regions. Support Hong Kong and Macao in developing their economies, improving people's livelihood, resolving deep-seated contradictions and problems in economic and social development, and better integrating into the overall development of the country. Realizing the complete reunification of the motherland is the trend of the times, where the great righteousness lies, and the aspiration of the people, and the motherland must and will be reunified. It is necessary to adhere to the party's overall strategy for resolving the Taiwan issue in the new era, adhere to the one-China principle and the "92 Consensus", deepen the integration and development of the two sides of the strait in all fields, promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, and resolutely prevent anyone from separating Taiwan from China in any way.

Xi Jinping stressed that Chinese modernization is modernization that follows the path of peaceful development, which not only benefits the Chinese people, but also promotes the modernization of all countries in the world. We will stand firmly on the right side of history and the progress of human civilization, hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation and win-win results, promote the common values of all mankind, promote the implementation of the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative, and promote the building of an open, inclusive, clean and beautiful world of lasting peace, universal security and common prosperity. We will firmly uphold the basic norms governing international relations, adhere to the right direction of economic globalization, firmly pursue a mutually beneficial and win-win strategy of opening-up, and promote the reform of global governance in a more just and equitable direction. China's development is the growth of the forces for world peace, and no matter how far it develops, China will never seek hegemony or engage in expansion.
