Second, the situation in the ideological field is still complex and the challenges are still severe
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has continuously increased the intensity of ideological work, established and improved the ideological work responsibility system, incorporated the implementation of the ideological responsibility system by the Party committee (Party group) into the inspection and inspection work, strengthened the management of propaganda and public opinion positions, strengthened the supervision of online public opinion, dared to show the sword and dare to fight against erroneous ideas, and resolutely curbed the hype and spread of various erroneous ideas, the main theme of ideology has become louder, the positive energy has been stronger, and cultural self-confidence has been demonstrated.
These major tasks and achievements have greatly strengthened the party's leadership, initiative, and discourse power in the ideological field, greatly reduced the living space for erroneous trends of thought and hostile forces to spread rumors and confuse the masses and spread noise, effectively reversed the passive situation that once appeared in the ideological field, and maintained an upward trend in the ideological field on the whole.
At the same time, it should be noted that the ideological field is still not calm, the situation we are facing is still complicated, the risks and challenges we are facing are still severe, and the ideological struggles and contests are sometimes very acute.
Social ideologies are complex, diverse, and intertwined. The profound changes in China's economy and society and the profound readjustment of the pattern of interests have made the trend of local pluralism, diversity and change in the ideological field more and more obvious, people's thinking has become more active, independence, selectivity, variability, and difference have been markedly enhanced, and it has become the norm for various ideas to be diverse and mixed, and various forces to compete to speak out.
Some erroneous ideological views, especially in the West
"Constitutional democracy", neoliberalism, and historical nihilism are still waiting for opportunities to emerge in a vain attempt to challenge the guiding position of Marxism, attack and negate the party's leadership, China's political system, and development path, and strive to compete for the right to speak ideologically.
The coexistence of mainstream ideology and diverse social trends of thought for a long time and the tendency of mutual agitation has become more significant, and the task of leading social trends of thought and building ideological consensus is arduous and arduous.
The mainstream value of society is challenged by the market's profit-seekingness. The development of the socialist market economy is conducive to emancipating and developing the social productive forces, enhancing the country's comprehensive national strength, and improving the people's living standards, and is also conducive to enhancing the people's awareness of self-reliance, competition, efficiency, democracy, and the rule of law, and the spirit of pioneering and innovating, so that the superiority of socialism can be further brought into play.
However, it should also be noted that the weak and negative aspects of the market and the principle of equivalent exchange will inevitably reflect and enter the people's spiritual life and even penetrate into the life of the party.
Socialism, collectivism, and patriotism have been challenged by new challenges, money worship, hedonism, and extreme individualism have grown and spread to a certain extent, and such behavioral phenomena as moral anomie, mercenary pursuit, vulgarity, and kitsch have repeatedly broken through the bottom line of public order and good customs, and have had a negative impact on the promotion of mainstream social ideology, morality, and values.
The media landscape and the ecology of public opinion have undergone profound changes. With the rapid development of new media, the boundaries between international and domestic, online and offline, virtual reality, and outside the system are becoming more and more blurred, constituting an increasingly complex public opinion field, which has the characteristics of spontaneity, suddenness, openness, plurality, conflict, anonymity, unboundedness, and difficulty in control.
The leading role of the mainstream media has been greatly impacted, and the Internet has often become the source and amplifier of the fermentation of negative public opinion and the spread of erroneous ideas, which has greatly increased the difficulty of public opinion guidance and content management.
Managing and making good use of the Internet is the key to mastering the news and public opinion position in the new situation. To grasp the dominance of online ideology is to protect national sovereignty and political power.
All kinds of hostile forces have stepped up their efforts to infiltrate and contain our country. The hostile forces have always regarded China's development and growth as a threat to Western values and institutional models, and have tried by all means to infiltrate and contain our country ideologically, constantly adjusting their tactics and changing their tactics to compete with us for positions and for the hearts and minds of the people.
As long as we adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the socialist system, the attempts of various hostile forces to westernize and divide China will not change. The closer we get to the goal of national rejuvenation and to the center of the world stage, the more hostile forces will try by all means to attack and smear China's path, theory, system, and culture, step up ideological and value infiltration, and intensify their instigation
The intensity of the "color revolution". The task of safeguarding China's ideological and political security is very arduous. In the face of the complicated situation in the ideological field, there are still some shortcomings and weaknesses in the building of socialist ideology, which need to be addressed
"Flowers gradually want to charm the eye" in the face of interference, keep
With stronger leadership and more effective measures, we will resolutely fulfill and implement the responsibility system for ideological work, strive to do a good job in stabilizing expectations, ideology, and people's hearts, continue to strengthen the construction of socialist ideology, maintain a good momentum in the ideological field, consolidate and expand the ideological position, better serve the central work of the party and the state, and better unify thinking and cohesion.
