1. The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics
The party's leading position is not self-appointed, it is chosen by history and the people, determined by the nature of China's national system, and explicitly stipulated by China's constitution.
General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and the greatest advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics is the leadership of the Communist Party of China.
This important thesis has enriched and developed the Marxist theory on party building and profoundly reflected that the understanding of the basic relationship between the party's leadership and socialism with Chinese characteristics has reached a new height.
Upholding the party's leadership over all work is determined by the nature of our party. The Communist Party of China is the vanguard of the Chinese working class, the vanguard of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, and a strong leadership core for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Our party has always held high the great banner of Marxism, regarded the realization of socialism and communism as its goal of struggle, and has been tempered by revolution, construction, and reform, and has been forged into a mature Marxist political party.
It is precisely because of the leadership of this advanced and mature political party that the road, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics have been formed.
If the party's leadership is weakened or even abandoned, the party's ruling position will be lost, the nature of socialism with Chinese characteristics will change, and the great achievements made by the Chinese people in their continuous struggle will be ruined.
Socialism with Chinese characteristics is a fundamental achievement made by the people under the leadership of the Party through long-term exploration, and it can only continue to develop under the leadership of the Party.
To fundamentally ensure that socialism with Chinese characteristics does not change color and degenerate, we must unswervingly adhere to the party's leadership.
Upholding the party's leadership over all work is the choice of history and the people. Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out: "In a big country like China, in order to unify the thinking and strength of hundreds of millions of people to build socialism, without a party composed of party members with a high degree of consciousness, discipline, and self-sacrifice spirit that can truly represent and unite the masses of the people, and without the unified leadership of such a party, it is impossible to conceive, and it will only be divided and nothing will be accomplished." "In the fierce movement of Chinese society after modern times, in the fierce struggle of the Chinese people against feudal rule and foreign aggression, and in the process of combining Marxism-Leninism with the Chinese workers' movement, the Communist Party of China came into being in 1921.
Since its founding, the Communist Party of China (CPC) has shouldered the historic responsibility of leading the people in seeking national independence and liberation, and realizing the prosperity and strength of the country and the happiness of the people.
In the historical process of revolution, construction, and reform, it was the people who chose the Communist Party of China that China completely ended the history of a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, completed the most extensive and profound social transformation in the history of the Chinese nation, opened up a new great revolution of reform and opening up, opened up the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and made great achievements in socialist modernization.
The profound historical trajectory clearly shows that without the Communist Party, there would be no New China; Without the Communist Party, the Chinese nation would not have risen from standing up, becoming rich, and then becoming strong.
This is the most basic conclusion that the Chinese people have drawn from their long-term struggle. Upholding the party's leadership over all work is the fundamental guarantee for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "The original intention and mission of the Chinese Communists is to seek happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. "In the past 100 years, in order to realize the historical mission of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, our party has not changed its original intention and unswervingly, united and led the people through thousands of difficulties and dangers, paid great sacrifices, and won victory after great struggle.
Practice has proven that upholding and strengthening the party's overall leadership is where the foundation and lifeblood of the party and the state lie, where the interests and happiness of the people of all nationalities throughout the country lie, and where all difficulties and risks are overcome
"Dinghaishen Needle". Today, China is closer to the goal of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation than at any other time in history, and is more confident and capable of achieving it.
At the same time, we must realize that on the great journey of realizing national rejuvenation, we do not know how many slopes we have to climb, how many hurdles we have to cross, how many ups and downs we have to go through, and how many difficulties and obstacles we have to overcome.
To accomplish the arduous and glorious historical mission and overcome the risks and challenges on the road ahead, we fundamentally rely on the party's overall leadership and the party's steering.
