Fourth, in the new era, we must be consistent in upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics

Socialism with Chinese characteristics is constantly developing and advancing, and it requires generation after generation of Chinese communists to lead the people in continuous struggle. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that the history of the Communist Party of China is a history of the Party leading the people to carry out the great social revolution. Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era is the result of our party's leadership of the people in carrying out the great social revolution, and it is also the continuation of the great social revolution led by our party, and it must be carried out consistently.

As an unprecedented pioneering cause, the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics cannot be smooth sailing. It should be noted that after several decades of theoretical and practical exploration, our understanding of socialism and our grasp of the laws governing socialism with Chinese characteristics have reached an unprecedented new height, and there is no doubt about this. At the same time, it should be noted that socialism in our country is still in the initial stage, we are still faced with many problems that have not yet been clarified and difficult problems to be solved, and there is no doubt that our understanding and handling of many major issues are still in the process of being deepened. Understanding things requires a process, and our understanding and grasp of socialism, a new thing that has only been practiced in China for a few decades, is still very limited. Socialism has always advanced in the course of courageous exploration, and the social revolution has always advanced in the course of great struggles. The more the cause develops and the reform deepens, the more new situations and new problems there will be, the more risks and challenges we will face, and the more unpredictable things we will face. In order to carry out the great social revolution of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, we must boldly explore and deepen development in practice, constantly enrich the practical, theoretical, national and contemporary characteristics of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and continue to push forward the various undertakings of the party and the country under the new historical conditions.

Comprehensively grasp the new requirements of socialism with Chinese characteristics entering a new era, and continuously improve the level of development of the cause of the Party and the country. The new era means a new starting point and new requirements, and the new era calls for a new atmosphere and new actions. It is necessary to adapt to the requirements of the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, improve the ability of strategic thinking, innovative thinking, dialectical thinking, rule of law thinking, and bottom-line thinking, enhance the principled, systematic, predictable, and creative nature of work, better grasp the development and changes of the domestic and international situation, better implement the party's theory, line, principles and policies, and better promote the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the new great project of party building.

Comprehensively study and implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and continuously improve the level of Marxist theory throughout the Party. Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is Marxism in the 21st century and contemporary Chinese Marxism, and is the result of the arduous theoretical exploration of the Party and the people, and the crystallization of the wisdom of innovation and creation. It is necessary to carry forward the study style of integrating theory with practice, closely link it with the historical changes that have taken place in the cause of the party and the country, closely link it with the new reality that socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, closely link it with the major changes in the main contradictions in our society, and closely link it with the "two centenary" goals and tasks, consciously use theory to guide practice, make all aspects of work more in line with the requirements of objective laws, and constantly improve the ability to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

We will comprehensively accomplish all the tasks of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and continuously improve the level of socialist modernization. Winning a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way is the primary task of the party and the state at present and for some time to come. To build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way to be recognized by the people and stand the test of history, it must be done in a down-to-earth manner without any water, and we must resolutely fight the tough battle of preventing and resolving major risks, targeted poverty alleviation, and pollution prevention and control. In accordance with the arrangements made by the CPC Central Committee for economic, political, cultural, social, and ecological civilization construction, we should comprehensively complete all tasks to ensure that a moderately prosperous society is built in an all-round way as scheduled, and on this basis, we should take advantage of the momentum and embark on a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way.

We will comprehensively promote reforms in all fields and aspects, and continuously improve the level of modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. Reform is only in progress, not complete. In the new era, the fundamental driving force for upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics is still to comprehensively deepen reform. It is necessary to adapt to the development process of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, firmly grasp the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform, make overall plans to promote reforms in all fields and aspects, continuously promote theoretical innovation, institutional innovation, scientific and technological innovation, cultural innovation and other innovations, resolutely eliminate all outdated ideological concepts and institutional mechanisms, break through the barriers of solidified interests, and provide a strong impetus for the decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and starting a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way.

We will fully implement the people-centered development philosophy and continuously improve the level of protection and people's livelihood. Seeking happiness for the people is the original aspiration of the Chinese Communists. We must never forget our original intention and always take the people's yearning for a better life as our goal. We must always take the realization, safeguarding, and development of the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of the people as the highest standard, grasp the most direct and realistic interests of the people, and persist in taking the small things of the people as our own major affairs, so that the fruits of reform and development can benefit all the people more and more fairly, so that the people's sense of gain, happiness, and security will be more fulfilling, more secure, and more sustainable, and constantly promote social fairness and justice, and constantly promote all-round human development and common prosperity for all the people.

We should comprehensively push forward the new great project of party building and continuously improve the level of comprehensively and strictly administering the party. Upholding the party's leadership, insisting that the party should manage the party, and administering the party strictly in an all-round way is an inevitable requirement for our party to keep up with the pace of progress of the times and maintain its advanced nature and purity. Practice has proven that when our party itself is strong and powerful, the cause of the party and the people will be invincible. In accordance with the general requirements of party building in the new era, we should focus on our party's better mission, always maintain flesh-and-blood ties with the people, summarize and apply successful experiences, face up to and solve outstanding problems, show perseverance and tenacity, continue to work constant and long, strict and practical, deep and meticulous, manage habits, grasp results, and promote the comprehensive and strict governance of the party to develop in depth without stopping.

Both history and reality tell us that a social revolution often requires a long historical process to achieve its final victory. Yesterday's success does not mean that the future will be successful forever, and the glory of the past does not mean that the future can be brilliant forever. The more achievements are made, the more cautious we must be walking on thin ice, and the more we must be prepared for danger in times of peace. In order to realize the prosperity and long-term peace and stability of the cause of the party and the country, we must always maintain the same vigor, revolutionary enthusiasm, and desperate spirit as in the revolutionary war period in the past, keep up with the pace of the times, never be proud of victories, never slack off because of achievements, never retreat because of difficulties, have the courage to reform and innovate, have the courage to face difficulties, have the courage to fulfill our responsibilities, and consistently carry out socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
