Socialism with Chinese characteristics not only adheres to the basic principles of scientific socialism, but also endows it with distinctive Chinese characteristics according to the conditions of the times.

The key to what kind of doctrine a country practices depends on whether or not it can solve the historical issues facing the country.

During the period when the Chinese nation was poor and weak, and was at the mercy of others, various isms and currents of thought were tried, and the capitalist road did not go through, as did reformism, liberalism, social Darwinism, anarchism, pragmatism, populism, and syndicalism

It was Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought that guided the people of Chinese out of the long night and established New China, and it was socialism with Chinese characteristics that made China develop rapidly.

Today, socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, and the Chinese nation has ushered in a bright prospect of great rejuvenation.

"You don't know if your shoes don't fit." Since the beginning of reform and opening up, our party has united and led the people of all ethnic groups across the country to make unremitting efforts to push China's economic strength, scientific and technological strength, national defense strength, and comprehensive national strength into the forefront of the world, and to promote China's international status to achieve unprecedented elevation.

Such development and such great changes are rare in the history of human development. Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era is becoming the banner of the development of scientific socialism in the 21st century and the mainstay of the revitalization of world socialism.

In recent years, some public opinion at home and abroad has raised the question of whether China is practicing socialism or not, and some people say yes

"Capital socialism", and some simply say it

"State capitalism",

"New bureaucratic capitalism", these are completely wrong. When we say that socialism with Chinese characteristics is socialism, that is, no matter how we reform or open up, we must always adhere to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and the socialist culture with Chinese characteristics, and comprehensively implement the party's basic theory, basic line, and basic strategy.

China's active absorption and reference of the outstanding achievements of human society for our own use is to win a comparative advantage over capitalism and to embark on its own broad path, instead of forgetting its ancestors and copying the development models of other countries.

China has also not adopted a dogmatic attitude toward Marxism, and has always insisted on integrating the basic tenets of Marxism and scientific socialism with China's specific practice, insisting on seeking truth from facts, and persisting in practicing the basic principles of scientific socialism on the basis of a full understanding of the world, the country, and the party.

"Seek the elders of the wood, and they will strengthen their roots; Those who want to flow far will dredge their springs. "It's not easy to find a good path, and it's even harder to take it well.

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that in the past, we have copied the book, imitated others, had confusion, and had setbacks, encountered walls again and again, awakened again and again, practiced again and again, and made breakthroughs again and again, and finally embarked on a successful road of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Now, some people talk about this road and that path, some want to go back to the old way, and some want to lead to the evil road. Some of them are misunderstandings, and some of them have ulterior motives.

We have seen and identified the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and we must unswervingly follow this path and expand it with the times.

We must always maintain political determination, neither follow the old road of being closed and rigid, nor take the evil road of changing our banner, and resolutely oppose all words and deeds that weaken, distort, and negate the party's leadership and our country's socialist system, and truly do so

"Thousands of blows are still strong, and the wind is blowing, east and west, north and south."
