At these sessions, major strategic plans were also made for advancing the cause of the Party and the country. The Central Committee has brought together the entire Party, the military, and the Chinese people and led them in effectively responding to grave, intricate international developments and a series of immense risks and challenges.

In the face of turbulent developments in Hong Kong, the central government exercised its overall jurisdiction over the special administrative region as prescribed by China’s Constitution and the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

Thanks to these moves, order has been restored in Hong Kong, marking a major turn for the better in the region. Further headway has been made in developing the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and supporting Hong Kong and Macao in growing their economies, improving living standards, and maintaining stability.

Comrades,
Ten years have passed since the Party’s 18th National Congress. The past decade marked three major events of great immediate importance and profound historical significance for the cause of the Party and the people: We embraced the centenary of the Communist Party of China; we ushered in a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics; and we eradicated absolute poverty and finished building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, thus completing the First Centenary Goal. These were historic feats—feats accomplished by the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people striving in unity, feats that will be forever recorded in the Chinese nation’s history, and feats that will profoundly influence the world.

十年前,我们面对的形势是,改革开放和社会主义现代化建设取得巨大成就,党的建设新的伟大工程取得显著成效,为我们继续前进奠定了坚实基础、创造了良好条件、提供了重要保障,同时一系列长期积累及新出现的突出矛盾和问题亟待解决。党内存在不少对坚持党的领导认识模糊、行动乏力问题,存在不少落实党的领导弱化、虚化、淡化问题,有些党员、干部政治信仰发生动摇,一些地方和部门形式主义、官僚主义、享乐主义和奢靡之风屡禁不止,特权思想和特权现象较为严重,一些贪腐问题触目惊心;经济结构性体制性矛盾突出,发展不平衡、不协调、不可持续,传统发展模式难以为继,一些深层次体制机制问题和利益固化藩篱日益显现;一些人对中国特色社会主义政治制度自信不足,有法不依、执法不严等问题严重存在;拜金主义、享乐主义、极端个人主义和历史虚无主义等错误思潮不时出现,网络舆论乱象丛生,严重影响人们思想和社会舆论环境;民生保障存在不少薄弱环节;资源环境约束趋紧、环境污染等问题突出;维护国家安全制度不完善、应对各种重大风险能力不强,国防和军队现代化存在不少短板弱项;香港、澳门落实“一国两制”的体制机制不健全;国家安全受到严峻挑战,等等。当时,党内和社会上不少人对党和国家前途忧心忡忡。面对这些影响党长期执政、国家长治久安、人民幸福安康的突出矛盾和问题,党中央审时度势、果敢抉择,锐意进取、攻坚克难,团结带领全党全军全国各族人民撸起袖子加油干、风雨无阻向前行,义无反顾进行具有许多新的历史特点的伟大斗争。
A decade ago this was the situation we faced:
Great achievements had been secured in reform, opening up, and socialist modernization, and notable advances had been made in the great new project of Party building. All this had created solid foundations, favorable conditions, and key underpinnings for our continued progress.
At the same time, however, a number of prominent issues and problems—some of which had been building for years and others which were just emerging—demanded urgent action.
Inside the Party, there were many issues with respect to upholding the Party’s leadership, including a lack of clear understanding and effective action as well as a slide toward weak, hollow, and watered-down Party leadership in practice. Some Party members and officials were wavering in their political conviction. Despite repeated warnings, pointless formalities, bureaucratism, hedonism, and extravagance persisted in some localities and departments. Privilege-seeking mindsets and practices posed a serious problem, and some deeply shocking cases of corruption had been uncovered.
China’s economy was beset by acute structural and institutional problems. Development was imbalanced, uncoordinated, and unsustainable, and the traditional development model could no longer keep us moving forward. Some deep-seated problems in institutions and barriers built by vested interests were becoming more and more apparent.
- 拓展学习:小词详解 | beset
Some people lacked confidence in the socialist political system with Chinese characteristics, and, all too often, we saw laws being ignored or not being strictly enforced.
Misguided patterns of thinking such as money worship, hedonism, egocentricity, and historical nihilism were common, and online discourse was rife with disorder. All this had a grave impact on people’s thinking and the public opinion environment.
- 拓展学习:小词详解 | rife
Our work to ensure the people’s wellbeing was fraught with weak links. Tightening resource and environmental constraints and environmental pollution were pronounced.
The systems for safeguarding national security were inadequate, and our capacity for responding to various major risks was insufficient. Many shortcomings were affecting the modernization of national defense and the military.
The institutions and mechanisms for implementing the policy of One Country, Two Systems in Hong Kong and Macao were not well-developed, and China faced grave challenges to its national security.
These were just some of the problems we faced. Back then, many people, both in and outside of our Party, were worried about the future of the Party and the country.
In the face of these acute problems and challenges, which undermined the Party’s long-term governance, the security and stability of the country, and the wellbeing of the people, the Party Central Committee fully assessed the situation, made resolute decisions, and took firm steps. Under its leadership, the entire Party, the military, and the Chinese people were brought together. We rolled up our sleeves and got down to work, forging ahead with resolve to carry out a great struggle with many new features of our times.
十年来,我们坚持马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想、邓小平理论、“三个代表”重要思想、科学发展观,全面贯彻新时代中国特色社会主义思想,全面贯彻党的基本路线、基本方略,采取一系列战略性举措,推进一系列变革性实践,实现一系列突破性进展,取得一系列标志性成果,经受住了来自政治、经济、意识形态、自然界等方面的风险挑战考验,党和国家事业取得历史性成就、发生历史性变革,推动我国迈上全面建设社会主义现代化国家新征程。
Over the past decade, we have stayed committed to Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Theory of Three Represents, and the Scientific Outlook on Development, and we have fully implemented the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as well as the Party’s basic line and basic policy. We have adopted a number of strategic measures, developed a range of transformative practices, and made a series of breakthroughs and landmark advances. We have withstood risks, challenges, and trials in the political, economic, ideological, and natural domains, secured historic achievements and seen historic changes in the cause of the Party and the country, and taken China on a new journey toward building a modern socialist country in all respects.
——我们创立了新时代中国特色社会主义思想,明确坚持和发展中国特色社会主义的基本方略,提出一系列治国理政新理念新思想新战略,实现了马克思主义中国化时代化新的飞跃,坚持不懈用这一创新理论武装头脑、指导实践、推动工作,为新时代党和国家事业发展提供了根本遵循。
—We have established the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. In doing so, we have laid out the basic policy for upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics, put forward a series of new ideas, new thinking, and new strategies on national governance, and achieved a new breakthrough in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of our times. We have endeavored to use this new theory to arm ourselves intellectually, guide our practice, and advance our work. This theory provides us with fundamental guidance for advancing the cause of our Party and our country in the new era.
——我们全面加强党的领导,明确中国特色社会主义最本质的特征是中国共产党领导,中国特色社会主义制度的最大优势是中国共产党领导,中国共产党是最高政治领导力量,坚持党中央集中统一领导是最高政治原则,系统完善党的领导制度体系,全党增强“四个意识”,自觉在思想上政治上行动上同党中央保持高度一致,不断提高政治判断力、政治领悟力、政治执行力,确保党中央权威和集中统一领导,确保党发挥总揽全局、协调各方的领导核心作用,我们这个拥有九千六百多万名党员的马克思主义政党更加团结统一。
—We have strengthened Party leadership in all respects. We have made clear that the leadership of the Communist Party of China is the defining feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest strength of the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, that the Party is the highest force of political leadership, and that upholding the centralized, unified leadership of the Party Central Committee is the highest political principle. We have made systematic improvements to the Party’s leadership systems. All Party members have become more conscious of the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment with the central Party leadership. They have become more purposeful in closely following the Party Central Committee in thinking, political stance, and action, and they have continued to improve their capacity for political judgment, thinking, and implementation. All this has ensured the Party Central Committee’s authority and its centralized, unified leadership and guaranteed that the Party fulfills its core role of exercising overall leadership and coordinating the efforts of all sides. Now, our Marxist party of over 96 million members enjoys greater unity and solidarity than ever.

We have put forward the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and proposed promoting national rejuvenation through a Chinese path to modernization. We have made well-coordinated efforts to advance our great struggle, our great project, our great cause, and our great dream. We have adopted the Five-Sphere Integrated Plan and the Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy as well as the general principle of pursuing progress while ensuring stability, and we have worked to both pursue development and safeguard security. We have identified the principal contradiction facing Chinese society as that between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life, and we have made it clear that closing this gap should be the focus of all our initiatives. With these efforts, we have made constant progress in enriching and developing a new form of human advancement.
——我们经过接续奋斗,实现了小康这个中华民族的千年梦想,我国发展站在了更高历史起点上。我们坚持精准扶贫、尽锐出战,打赢了人类历史上规模最大的脱贫攻坚战,全国八百三十二个贫困县全部摘帽,近一亿农村贫困人口实现脱贫,九百六十多万贫困人口实现易地搬迁,历史性地解决了绝对贫困问题,为全球减贫事业作出了重大贡献。
—We have achieved moderate prosperity, the millennia-old dream of the Chinese nation, through persistent hard work. With this, we have elevated China to a higher historical starting point in development. By galvanizing the entire nation to carry out targeted poverty alleviation, we have won the largest battle against poverty in human history. A total of 832 impoverished counties and close to 100 million poor rural residents have been lifted out of poverty, and, among them, more than 9.6 million poverty-stricken people have been relocated from inhospitable areas. We have, once and for all, resolved the problem of absolute poverty in China, making significant contributions to the cause of global poverty reduction.
——我们提出并贯彻新发展理念,着力推进高质量发展,推动构建新发展格局,实施供给侧结构性改革,制定一系列具有全局性意义的区域重大战略,我国经济实力实现历史性跃升。国内生产总值从五十四万亿元增长到一百一十四万亿元,我国经济总量占世界经济的比重达百分之十八点五,提高七点二个百分点,稳居世界第二位;人均国内生产总值从三万九千八百元增加到八万一千元。谷物总产量稳居世界首位,十四亿多人的粮食安全、能源安全得到有效保障。城镇化率提高十一点六个百分点,达到百分之六十四点七。制造业规模、外汇储备稳居世界第一。建成世界最大的高速铁路网、高速公路网,机场港口、水利、能源、信息等基础设施建设取得重大成就。我们加快推进科技自立自强,全社会研发经费支出从一万亿元增加到二万八千亿元,居世界第二位,研发人员总量居世界首位。基础研究和原始创新不断加强,一些关键核心技术实现突破,战略性新兴产业发展壮大,载人航天、探月探火、深海深地探测、超级计算机、卫星导航、量子信息、核电技术、新能源技术、大飞机制造、生物医药等取得重大成果,进入创新型国家行列。

We have carried out supply-side structural reform, formulated a series of major regional strategies important to China’s overall development, and brought about a historic rise in China’s economic strength.
In the past decade, China’s GDP has grown from 54 trillion yuan to 114 trillion yuan to account for 18.5 percent of the world economy, up 7.2 percentage points. China has remained the world’s second largest economy, and its per capita GDP has risen from 39,800 yuan to 81,000 yuan. It ranks first in the world in terms of grain output, and it has ensured food and energy security for its more than 1.4 billion people.

China’s manufacturing sector is the largest in the world, as are its foreign exchange reserves. China has built the world’s largest networks of high-speed railways and expressways and made major achievements in building airports, ports, and water conservancy, energy, information, and other infrastructure.
We have accelerated efforts to build our self-reliance and strength in science and technology, with nationwide R&D spending rising from 1 trillion yuan to 2.8 trillion yuan, the second highest in the world. Our country is now home to the largest cohort of R&D personnel in the world.
We have grown stronger in basic research and original innovation, made breakthroughs in some core technologies in key fields, and boosted emerging strategic industries. We have witnessed major successes on multiple fronts, including manned spaceflight, lunar and Martian exploration, deep sea and deep earth probes, supercomputers, satellite navigation, quantum information, nuclear power technology, new energy technology, airliner manufacturing, and biomedicine.

—We have set the Party’s goal of building a strong military in the new era. We have implemented the Party’s thinking on strengthening the military for the new era, followed the military strategy for the new era, and upheld absolute Party leadership over the people’s armed forces. We held a meeting on military political work in Gutian in 2014 and improved political conduct through rectification initiatives. Having established combat effectiveness as the sole criterion, we have acted with resolve to focus the entire military’s attention on combat readiness. We have coordinated efforts to strengthen military work in all directions and domains and devoted great energy to training under combat conditions. We have carried out bold reforms of national defense and the armed forces, restructuring the military leadership and command systems, the modern armed forces system, and the military policy system. We have moved faster to modernize our national defense and the armed forces and reduced the number of active service personnel by 300,000.

—We have made significant advances in exercising full and rigorous Party self-governance. Guided by the belief that it takes a good blacksmith to forge good steel, we kicked off our efforts by formulating and implementing the central Party leadership’s eight-point decision on improving conduct. We have put forward and implemented the general requirements for strengthening the Party in the new era. We have set strengthening ourselves politically as the overarching guide for all other initiatives of Party building, and we have made sure that our ideological work is aligned with our institution building efforts. Intraparty political activities have been conducted in earnest, and we have continued to carry out intensive education initiatives. We have formulated and implemented the Party’s organizational line for the new era and placed an emphasis on political commitment in selecting and appointing officials. Political inspections have been strengthened, and a sound system of Party regulations has taken shape. These moves have enabled the entire Party to maintain firm ideals and convictions and have strengthened the Party’s organizational system and tightened discipline and rules.
We have worked ceaselessly to improve Party conduct and enforce Party discipline. We have hammered away at the task of rectifying pointless formalities, bureaucratism, hedonism, and extravagance; opposed privilege-seeking mindsets and practices; and taken strong action to address misconduct and corruption that occur at people’s doorsteps. Thanks to these efforts, unhealthy tendencies that had long gone unchecked have been reversed, and deep-seated problems that had plagued us for years have been remedied.
We have waged a battle against corruption on a scale unprecedented in our history. Driven by a strong sense of mission, we have resolved to “offend a few thousand rather than fail 1.4 billion” and to clear our Party of all its ills. We have taken coordinated steps to see that officials do not have the audacity, opportunity, or desire to be corrupt, and we have used a combination of measures to “take out tigers,” “swat flies,” and “hunt down foxes,” punishing corrupt officials of all types. We have achieved an overwhelming victory and fully consolidated the gains in our fight against corruption. All this has helped remove serious hidden dangers in the Party, the country, and the military and ensured that the power granted to us by the Party and the people is always exercised in the interests of the people.
Through painstaking efforts, the Party has found a second answer to the question of how to escape the historical cycle of rise and fall. The answer is self-reform. We have significantly boosted the Party’s ability to purify, improve, renew, and excel itself, addressed the problem of lax and weak self-governance in Party organizations at the root, and steadily fostered and developed a political atmosphere of integrity within the Party. By doing so, we have ensured that the Party will never change its nature, its conviction, or its character.
在充分肯定党和国家事业取得举世瞩目成就的同时,必须清醒看到,我们的工作还存在一些不足,面临不少困难和问题。主要有:发展不平衡不充分问题仍然突出,推进高质量发展还有许多卡点瓶颈,科技创新能力还不强;确保粮食、能源、产业链供应链可靠安全和防范金融风险还须解决许多重大问题;重点领域改革还有不少硬骨头要啃;意识形态领域存在不少挑战;城乡区域发展和收入分配差距仍然较大;群众在就业、教育、医疗、托育、养老、住房等方面面临不少难题;生态环境保护任务依然艰巨;一些党员、干部缺乏担当精神,斗争本领不强,实干精神不足,形式主义、官僚主义现象仍较突出;铲除腐败滋生土壤任务依然艰巨,等等。对这些问题,我们已经采取一系列措施加以解决,今后必须加大工作力度。
As we fully affirm the remarkable achievements we have made in the cause of the Party and the country, we must not lose sight of the shortcomings in our work and the many difficulties and problems confronting us. They are mainly as follows:
Imbalances and inadequacies in development remain a prominent problem. There are many bottlenecks hindering high-quality development, and China’s capacity for scientific and technological innovation is not yet strong enough. Many major issues need to be resolved in order to guard against financial risks and ensure that food, energy, and industrial and supply chains are secure and reliable.
There are still many tough issues to be addressed in the reform of key areas. Quite a few challenges exist in the ideological domain. There are still wide gaps in development and income distribution between urban and rural areas and between regions. Our people face many difficulties in areas such as employment, education, medical services, childcare, elderly care, and housing. Ecological conservation and environmental protection remain a formidable task.
Some Party members and officials lack a strong sense of responsibility, the capacity to grapple with tough challenges, and the readiness to get down to work. Pointless formalities and bureaucratism remain rather pronounced. Eradicating breeding grounds for corruption is still an arduous task.
We have already put in place a series of measures to deal with these problems, and we must redouble our efforts to see them fully resolved.
同志们!新时代的伟大成就是党和人民一道拼出来、干出来、奋斗出来的!在这里,我代表中共中央,向全体中国共产党员,向全国各族人民,向各民主党派、各人民团体和各界爱国人士,向香港特别行政区同胞、澳门特别行政区同胞和台湾同胞以及广大侨胞,向关心和支持中国现代化建设的各国朋友,表示衷心的感谢!
Comrades,
The great achievements of the new era have come from the collective dedication and hard work of our Party and our people. Here, on behalf of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, I express our heartfelt gratitude to all of our Party members, to the people of all ethnic groups, to all other political parties, people’s organizations, and patriotic figures from all sectors of society, to our fellow compatriots in the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, in Taiwan, and overseas, and to all our friends around the world who have shown understanding and support for China’s modernization drive.
新时代十年的伟大变革,在党史、新中国史、改革开放史、社会主义发展史、中华民族发展史上具有里程碑意义。走过百年奋斗历程的中国共产党在革命性锻造中更加坚强有力,党的政治领导力、思想引领力、群众组织力、社会号召力显著增强,党同人民群众始终保持血肉联系,中国共产党在世界形势深刻变化的历史进程中始终走在时代前列,在应对国内外各种风险和考验的历史进程中始终成为全国人民的主心骨,在坚持和发展中国特色社会主义的历史进程中始终成为坚强领导核心。中国人民的前进动力更加强大、奋斗精神更加昂扬、必胜信念更加坚定,焕发出更为强烈的历史自觉和主动精神,中国共产党和中国人民正信心百倍推进中华民族从站起来、富起来到强起来的伟大飞跃。改革开放和社会主义现代化建设深入推进,书写了经济快速发展和社会长期稳定两大奇迹新篇章,我国发展具备了更为坚实的物质基础、更为完善的制度保证,实现中华民族伟大复兴进入了不可逆转的历史进程。科学社会主义在二十一世纪的中国焕发出新的蓬勃生机,中国式现代化为人类实现现代化提供了新的选择,中国共产党和中国人民为解决人类面临的共同问题提供更多更好的中国智慧、中国方案、中国力量,为人类和平与发展崇高事业作出新的更大的贡献!
The great transformation over the past 10 years of the new era marks a milestone in the history of the Party, of the People’s Republic of China, of reform and opening up, of the development of socialism, and of the development of the Chinese nation. Over the course of a century of endeavor, the Communist Party of China has tempered itself through revolution and grown stronger. It has grown better at providing political leadership, giving theoretical guidance, organizing the people, and inspiring society, all while maintaining a close bond with the people. Throughout the Party’s history, as the world has undergone profound changes, it has always remained at the forefront of the times. As we have responded to risks and tests at home and abroad, the Party has always remained the backbone of the nation. And as we have upheld and developed socialism with Chinese characteristics, the Party has always remained a strong leadership core.
The Chinese people are more inspired than ever to forge ahead, more resolved than ever to work hard, and more confident than ever of securing success. They are filled with a stronger sense of history and initiative. With full confidence, the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people are driving the great transformation of the Chinese nation from standing up and growing prosperous to becoming strong. We have advanced reform, opening up, and socialist modernization and have written a new chapter on the miracles of fast economic growth and long-term social stability. China now has more solid material foundations and stronger institutional underpinnings for pursuing development. The rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is now on an irreversible historical course.
Scientific socialism is brimming with renewed vitality in 21st-century China. Chinese modernization offers humanity a new choice for achieving modernization. The Communist Party of China and the Chinese people have provided humanity with more Chinese insight, better Chinese input, and greater Chinese strength to help solve its common challenges and have made new and greater contributions to the noble cause of human peace and development.
二、开辟马克思主义中国化时代化新境界
II. A New Frontier in Adapting Marxism to the Chinese Context
and the Needs of the Times
马克思主义是我们立党立国、兴党兴国的根本指导思想。实践告诉我们,中国共产党为什么能,中国特色社会主义为什么好,归根到底是马克思主义行,是中国化时代化的马克思主义行。拥有马克思主义科学理论指导是我们党坚定信仰信念、把握历史主动的根本所在。
Marxism is the fundamental guiding ideology upon which our Party and our country are founded and thrive. Our experience has taught us that, at the fundamental level, we owe the success of our Party and socialism with Chinese characteristics to the fact that Marxism works, particularly when it is adapted to the Chinese context and the needs of our times. The sound theoretical guidance of Marxism is the source from which our Party draws its firm belief and conviction and which enables our Party to seize the historical initiative.
推进马克思主义中国化时代化是一个追求真理、揭示真理、笃行真理的过程。十八大以来,国内外形势新变化和实践新要求,迫切需要我们从理论和实践的结合上深入回答关系党和国家事业发展、党治国理政的一系列重大时代课题。我们党勇于进行理论探索和创新,以全新的视野深化对共产党执政规律、社会主义建设规律、人类社会发展规律的认识,取得重大理论创新成果,集中体现为新时代中国特色社会主义思想。十九大、十九届六中全会提出的“十个明确”、“十四个坚持”、“十三个方面成就”概括了这一思想的主要内容,必须长期坚持并不断丰富发展。
Adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times is a process of seeking, revealing, and applying truth. With new changes and practical demands emerging both in and outside of China since the 18th National Congress, there was an urgent need for us to provide in-depth theoretical and practical answers to a series of epochal questions on the cause of the Party and the country as well as the Party’s governance of China.
With the courage to make theoretical explorations and innovations, our Party has, from an entirely new perspective, deepened its understanding of the laws that underlie governance by a communist party, the development of socialism, and the evolution of human society. It has achieved major theoretical innovations, which are encapsulated in the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. The main elements of this theory are summarized in the 10 affirmations, the 14 commitments, and the 13 areas of achievement that were articulated at the 19th National Congress and the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Party Central Committee, all of which we must adhere to over the long term and continue to enrich and develop.
中国共产党人深刻认识到,只有把马克思主义基本原理同中国具体实际相结合、同中华优秀传统文化相结合,坚持运用辩证唯物主义和历史唯物主义,才能正确回答时代和实践提出的重大问题,才能始终保持马克思主义的蓬勃生机和旺盛活力。
Chinese Communists are keenly aware that only by integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with China’s specific realities and fine traditional culture and only by applying dialectical and historical materialism can we provide correct answers to the major questions presented by the times and discovered through practice and can we ensure that Marxism always retains its vigor and vitality.
坚持和发展马克思主义,必须同中国具体实际相结合。我们坚持以马克思主义为指导,是要运用其科学的世界观和方法论解决中国的问题,而不是要背诵和重复其具体结论和词句,更不能把马克思主义当成一成不变的教条。我们必须坚持解放思想、实事求是、与时俱进、求真务实,一切从实际出发,着眼解决新时代改革开放和社会主义现代化建设的实际问题,不断回答中国之问、世界之问、人民之问、时代之问,作出符合中国实际和时代要求的正确回答,得出符合客观规律的科学认识,形成与时俱进的理论成果,更好指导中国实践。
To uphold and develop Marxism, we must integrate it with China’s specific realities. Taking Marxism as our guide means applying its worldview and methodology to solving problems in China; it does not mean memorizing and reciting its specific conclusions and lines, and still less does it mean treating it as a rigid dogma. We must continue to free our minds, seek truth from facts, move with the times, and take a realistic and pragmatic approach. We must base everything we do on actual conditions and focus on solving real problems arising in our reform, opening up, and socialist modernization endeavors in the new era. We must keep responding to the questions posed by China, by the world, by the people, and by the times; in doing so, we should find the right answers suited to the realities of China and the needs of our day, reach conclusions that are compatible with objective laws, and develop new theories that are in step with the times, so as to provide better guidance for China’s practice.

坚持和发展马克思主义,必须同中华优秀传统文化相结合。只有植根本国、本民族历史文化沃土,马克思主义真理之树才能根深叶茂。中华优秀传统文化源远流长、博大精深,是中华文明的智慧结晶,其中蕴含的天下为公、民为邦本、为政以德、革故鼎新、任人唯贤、天人合一、自强不息、厚德载物、讲信修睦、亲仁善邻等,是中国人民在长期生产生活中积累的宇宙观、天下观、社会观、道德观的重要体现,同科学社会主义价值观主张具有高度契合性。我们必须坚定历史自信、文化自信,坚持古为今用、推陈出新,把马克思主义思想精髓同中华优秀传统文化精华贯通起来、同人民群众日用而不觉的共同价值观念融通起来,不断赋予科学理论鲜明的中国特色,不断夯实马克思主义中国化时代化的历史基础和群众基础,让马克思主义在中国牢牢扎根。
To uphold and develop Marxism, we must integrate it with China’s fine traditional culture. Only by taking root in the rich historical and cultural soil of the country and the nation can the truth of Marxism flourish here. With a history stretching back to antiquity, China’s fine traditional culture is extensive and profound; it is the crystallization of the wisdom of Chinese civilization. Our traditional culture espouses many important principles and concepts, including pursuing common good for all; regarding the people as the foundation of the state; governing by virtue; discarding the outdated in favor of the new; selecting officials on the basis of merit; promoting harmony between humanity and nature; ceaselessly pursuing self-improvement; embracing the world with virtue; acting in good faith and being friendly to others; and fostering neighborliness. These maxims, which have taken shape over centuries of work and life, reflect the Chinese people’s way of viewing the universe, the world, society, and morality and are highly consistent with the values and propositions of scientific socialism.
We must stay confident in our history and culture, make the past serve the present, and develop the new from the old. We must integrate the essence of Marxism with the best of fine traditional Chinese culture and with the common values that our people intuitively apply in their everyday lives. We should keep endowing Marxist theory with distinctive Chinese features and consolidating the historical basis and public support for adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of our times. With this, we will ensure that Marxism puts down deep roots in China.
实践没有止境,理论创新也没有止境。不断谱写马克思主义中国化时代化新篇章,是当代中国共产党人的庄严历史责任。继续推进实践基础上的理论创新,首先要把握好新时代中国特色社会主义思想的世界观和方法论,坚持好、运用好贯穿其中的立场观点方法。
Just as there are no bounds to practice, there is no end to theoretical innovation. It is the solemn historical responsibility of today’s Chinese Communists to continue opening new chapters in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times. To keep advancing theoretical innovation on the basis of practical experience, we must, first of all, gain a good command of the worldview and methodology of the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and adhere to and make good use of its stances, viewpoints, and methods.
——必须坚持人民至上。人民性是马克思主义的本质属性,党的理论是来自人民、为了人民、造福人民的理论,人民的创造性实践是理论创新的不竭源泉。一切脱离人民的理论都是苍白无力的,一切不为人民造福的理论都是没有生命力的。我们要站稳人民立场、把握人民愿望、尊重人民创造、集中人民智慧,形成为人民所喜爱、所认同、所拥有的理论,使之成为指导人民认识世界和改造世界的强大思想武器。
—We must put the people first. People-centeredness is an essential attribute of Marxism. Our Party’s theories are from the people, for the people, and beneficial to the people. The people’s creative practices are the inexhaustible source of our theoretical innovations. Theories that are detached from the people will be feeble and ineffective, and theories that cannot deliver for the people will be stale and lifeless. We must stand firmly with the people, respond to their wishes, respect their creativity, and pool their wisdom to develop theories that they like, accept, and adopt and that become powerful tools guiding them in understanding and changing the world.
——必须坚持自信自立。中国人民和中华民族从近代以后的深重苦难走向伟大复兴的光明前景,从来就没有教科书,更没有现成答案。党的百年奋斗成功道路是党领导人民独立自主探索开辟出来的,马克思主义的中国篇章是中国共产党人依靠自身力量实践出来的,贯穿其中的一个基本点就是中国的问题必须从中国基本国情出发,由中国人自己来解答。我们要坚持对马克思主义的坚定信仰、对中国特色社会主义的坚定信念,坚定道路自信、理论自信、制度自信、文化自信,以更加积极的历史担当和创造精神为发展马克思主义作出新的贡献,既不能刻舟求剑、封闭僵化,也不能照抄照搬、食洋不化。
—We must maintain self-confidence and stand on our own feet. There has never been an instruction manual or ready-made solution for the Chinese people and the Chinese nation to turn to as they fought to end the great sufferings endured since the advent of modern times and have moved on toward the bright future of rejuvenation. The Party has led the people in independently blazing the path to success over the past century, and the success of Marxism in China has been realized by Chinese Communists through our own endeavors. One point underpinning these successes is that China’s issues must be dealt with by Chinese people in light of the Chinese context. We must remain firm in our conviction in Marxism and socialism with Chinese characteristics and strengthen our confidence in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics. With a stronger sense of historical responsibility and creativity, we should make greater contributions to the development of Marxism. We should never act blindly without assessing how conditions have evolved or allow ourselves to become ossified or closed off, nor should we mechanically imitate others or indiscriminately absorb foreign ideas.
——必须坚持守正创新。我们从事的是前无古人的伟大事业,守正才能不迷失方向、不犯颠覆性错误,创新才能把握时代、引领时代。我们要以科学的态度对待科学、以真理的精神追求真理,坚持马克思主义基本原理不动摇,坚持党的全面领导不动摇,坚持中国特色社会主义不动摇,紧跟时代步伐,顺应实践发展,以满腔热忱对待一切新生事物,不断拓展认识的广度和深度,敢于说前人没有说过的新话,敢于干前人没有干过的事情,以新的理论指导新的实践。
—We must uphold fundamental principles and break new ground. We are advancing a great cause that none have attempted before. Only by upholding fundamental principles can we avoid losing our bearings or making catastrophic mistakes. Only by breaking new ground can we meet the call of the day and shape the trends of our times. We should approach Marxism with a respect for science and in the spirit of seeking truth. We must never waver in upholding the basic tenets of Marxism, the overall leadership of the Party, and socialism with Chinese characteristics. We should keep pace with the times and adapt to the evolution of practice. We should approach each and every new thing with great enthusiasm and never stop broadening and deepening our understanding of the world. We must dare to say what has never been said and do what has never been done, and we must use new theory to guide new practice.
——必须坚持问题导向。问题是时代的声音,回答并指导解决问题是理论的根本任务。今天我们所面临问题的复杂程度、解决问题的艰巨程度明显加大,给理论创新提出了全新要求。我们要增强问题意识,聚焦实践遇到的新问题、改革发展稳定存在的深层次问题、人民群众急难愁盼问题、国际变局中的重大问题、党的建设面临的突出问题,不断提出真正解决问题的新理念新思路新办法。
—We must adopt a problem-oriented approach. Problems represent the voice of the times. The fundamental task of theory is to respond to problems and provide guidelines for finding solutions. The problems we face today are considerably more complex, and resolving them has become much more difficult. This presents a completely new challenge for theoretical innovation. We must be more conscious of problems, especially new problems that are discovered through practice, deep-seated problems affecting reform, development, and stability, pressing concerns of the people, major issues in the evolving global landscape, and prominent issues we face in Party building. We should keep developing new thinking, new approaches, and new ways to effectively resolve problems.
——必须坚持系统观念。万事万物是相互联系、相互依存的。只有用普遍联系的、全面系统的、发展变化的观点观察事物,才能把握事物发展规律。我国是一个发展中大国,仍处于社会主义初级阶段,正在经历广泛而深刻的社会变革,推进改革发展、调整利益关系往往牵一发而动全身。我们要善于通过历史看现实、透过现象看本质,把握好全局和局部、当前和长远、宏观和微观、主要矛盾和次要矛盾、特殊和一般的关系,不断提高战略思维、历史思维、辩证思维、系统思维、创新思维、法治思维、底线思维能力,为前瞻性思考、全局性谋划、整体性推进党和国家各项事业提供科学思想方法。
—We must apply systems thinking. All things are interconnected and interdependent. We must view them with the understanding that they are universally connected, part of a complete system, and constantly evolving if we are to grasp the laws governing their development.
As a major developing country, China is still in the primary stage of socialism and is going through an extensive and profound social transformation. A small move made to advance reform and development or to adjust interests may affect the bigger picture. We should be able to see the present from a historical perspective, look beyond the surface to get to the crux of issues, and properly manage the relationships between overall and local interests, between the present and the future, between macro and micro concerns, between primary and secondary issues, and between the special and the ordinary. We should improve our ability to adopt a strategic perspective and apply a historical, dialectical, and systematic approach to thinking; we should get better at thinking creatively, thinking in terms of the rule of law, and considering worst-case scenarios. By doing so, we can develop a well-conceived approach to planning and advancing the endeavors of the Party and the country on all fronts in a forward-looking and holistic manner.
——必须坚持胸怀天下。中国共产党是为中国人民谋幸福、为中华民族谋复兴的党,也是为人类谋进步、为世界谋大同的党。我们要拓展世界眼光,深刻洞察人类发展进步潮流,积极回应各国人民普遍关切,为解决人类面临的共同问题作出贡献,以海纳百川的宽阔胸襟借鉴吸收人类一切优秀文明成果,推动建设更加美好的世界。
—We must maintain a global vision. The Communist Party of China is dedicated to pursuing happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. It is also dedicated to human progress and world harmony. We should expand our global vision and develop keen insight into the trends of human development and progress, respond to the general concerns of people of all countries, and play our part in resolving the common issues facing humankind. With an open mind, we should draw inspiration from all of human civilization’s outstanding achievements and work to build an even better world.
三、新时代新征程中国共产党的使命任务
III. The New Journey of the New Era:
Missions and Tasks of the Communist Party of China
从现在起,中国共产党的中心任务就是团结带领全国各族人民全面建成社会主义现代化强国、实现第二个百年奋斗目标,以中国式现代化全面推进中华民族伟大复兴。
From this day forward, the central task of the Communist Party of China will be to lead the Chinese people of all ethnic groups in a concerted effort to realize the Second Centenary Goal of building China into a great modern socialist country in all respects and to advance the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on all fronts through a Chinese path to modernization.
在新中国成立特别是改革开放以来长期探索和实践基础上,经过十八大以来在理论和实践上的创新突破,我们党成功推进和拓展了中国式现代化。
Based on our decades of exploration and practice since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, especially since the launch of reform and opening up in 1978, as well as the new breakthroughs made in theory and practice since the 18th National Congress, we have succeeded in advancing and expanding Chinese modernization.
中国式现代化,是中国共产党领导的社会主义现代化,既有各国现代化的共同特征,更有基于自己国情的中国特色。
Chinese modernization is socialist modernization pursued under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. It contains elements that are common to the modernization processes of all countries, but it is more characterized by features that are unique to the Chinese context.
——中国式现代化是人口规模巨大的现代化。我国十四亿多人口整体迈进现代化社会,规模超过现有发达国家人口的总和,艰巨性和复杂性前所未有,发展途径和推进方式也必然具有自己的特点。我们始终从国情出发想问题、作决策、办事情,既不好高骛远,也不因循守旧,保持历史耐心,坚持稳中求进、循序渐进、持续推进。
—It is the modernization of a huge population. China is working to achieve modernization for more than 1.4 billion people, a number larger than the combined population of all developed countries in the world today. This is a task of unparalleled difficulty and complexity; it inevitably means that our pathways of development and methods of advancement will be unique. We will, as always, bear China’s realities in mind as we address issues, make decisions, and take action. We will neither pursue grandiose goals nor go by the rulebook. We will stay patient in advancing the course of history and take steady and incremental steps to sustain progress.

——中国式现代化是全体人民共同富裕的现代化。共同富裕是中国特色社会主义的本质要求,也是一个长期的历史过程。我们坚持把实现人民对美好生活的向往作为现代化建设的出发点和落脚点,着力维护和促进社会公平正义,着力促进全体人民共同富裕,坚决防止两极分化。
—It is the modernization of common prosperity for all. Achieving common prosperity is a defining feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics and involves a long historical process. The immutable goal of our modernization drive is to meet the people’s aspirations for a better life. We will endeavor to maintain and promote social fairness and justice, bring prosperity to all, and prevent polarization.
——中国式现代化是物质文明和精神文明相协调的现代化。物质富足、精神富有是社会主义现代化的根本要求。物质贫困不是社会主义,精神贫乏也不是社会主义。我们不断厚植现代化的物质基础,不断夯实人民幸福生活的物质条件,同时大力发展社会主义先进文化,加强理想信念教育,传承中华文明,促进物的全面丰富和人的全面发展。
—It is the modernization of material and cultural-ethical advancement. Material abundance and cultural-ethical enrichment are fundamental goals of socialist modernization. Material want is not socialism, nor is cultural impoverishment. While continuing to consolidate the material foundation for modernization and improve the material conditions for people’s wellbeing, we will strive to develop advanced socialist culture, foster strong ideals and convictions, and carry forward China’s cultural heritage. We will thus promote all-around material abundance as well as people’s well-rounded development.
——中国式现代化是人与自然和谐共生的现代化。人与自然是生命共同体,无止境地向自然索取甚至破坏自然必然会遭到大自然的报复。我们坚持可持续发展,坚持节约优先、保护优先、自然恢复为主的方针,像保护眼睛一样保护自然和生态环境,坚定不移走生产发展、生活富裕、生态良好的文明发展道路,实现中华民族永续发展。
—It is the modernization of harmony between humanity and nature. Humanity and nature make up a community of life. If we extract from nature without limit or inflict damage on it, we are bound to face its retaliation. China is committed to sustainable development and to the principles of prioritizing resource conservation and environmental protection and letting nature restore itself. We will protect nature and the environment as we do our own lives. We will continue to pursue a model of sound development featuring improved production, higher living standards, and healthy ecosystems to ensure the sustainable development of the Chinese nation.
——中国式现代化是走和平发展道路的现代化。我国不走一些国家通过战争、殖民、掠夺等方式实现现代化的老路,那种损人利己、充满血腥罪恶的老路给广大发展中国家人民带来深重苦难。我们坚定站在历史正确的一边、站在人类文明进步的一边,高举和平、发展、合作、共赢旗帜,在坚定维护世界和平与发展中谋求自身发展,又以自身发展更好维护世界和平与发展。
—It is the modernization of peaceful development. In pursuing modernization, China will not tread the old path of war, colonization, and plunder taken by some countries. That brutal and blood-stained path of enrichment at the expense of others caused great suffering for the people of developing countries. We will stand firmly on the right side of history and on the side of human progress. Dedicated to peace, development, cooperation, and mutual benefit, we will strive to safeguard world peace and development as we pursue our own development, and we will make greater contributions to world peace and development through our own development.

全面建设社会主义现代化国家,是一项伟大而艰巨的事业,前途光明,任重道远。当前,世界百年未有之大变局加速演进,新一轮科技革命和产业变革深入发展,国际力量对比深刻调整,我国发展面临新的战略机遇。同时,世纪疫情影响深远,逆全球化思潮抬头,单边主义、保护主义明显上升,世界经济复苏乏力,局部冲突和动荡频发,全球性问题加剧,世界进入新的动荡变革期。我国改革发展稳定面临不少深层次矛盾躲不开、绕不过,党的建设特别是党风廉政建设和反腐败斗争面临不少顽固性、多发性问题,来自外部的打压遏制随时可能升级。我国发展进入战略机遇和风险挑战并存、不确定难预料因素增多的时期,各种“黑天鹅”、“灰犀牛”事件随时可能发生。我们必须增强忧患意识,坚持底线思维,做到居安思危、未雨绸缪,准备经受风高浪急甚至惊涛骇浪的重大考验。前进道路上,必须牢牢把握以下重大原则。
Building a modern socialist country in all respects is a great and arduous endeavor. Our future is bright, but we still have a long way to go. At present, momentous changes of a like not seen in a century are accelerating across the world. A new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is well under way, and a significant shift is taking place in the international balance of power, presenting China with new strategic opportunities in pursuing development. At the same time, however, the once-in-a-century pandemic has had far-reaching effects; a backlash against globalization is rising; and unilateralism and protectionism are mounting. The global economic recovery is sluggish, regional conflicts and disturbances are frequent, and global issues are becoming more acute. The world has entered a new period of turbulence and change.
At home, we face many deep-seated problems regarding reform, development, and stability that cannot be avoided or bypassed. In our efforts to strengthen the Party, and especially to improve conduct, build integrity, and combat corruption, we are confronted with many stubborn and recurrent problems. External attempts to suppress and contain China may escalate at any time.
Our country has entered a period of development in which strategic opportunities, risks, and challenges are concurrent and uncertainties and unforeseen factors are rising. Various “black swan” and “gray rhino” events may occur at any time. We must therefore be more mindful of potential dangers, be prepared to deal with worst-case scenarios, and be ready to withstand high winds, choppy waters, and even dangerous storms. On the journey ahead, we must firmly adhere to the following major principles.
——坚持和加强党的全面领导。坚决维护党中央权威和集中统一领导,把党的领导落实到党和国家事业各领域各方面各环节,使党始终成为风雨来袭时全体人民最可靠的主心骨,确保我国社会主义现代化建设正确方向,确保拥有团结奋斗的强大政治凝聚力、发展自信心,集聚起万众一心、共克时艰的磅礴力量。
—Upholding and strengthening the Party’s overall leadership. We must resolutely uphold the Party Central Committee’s authority and its centralized, unified leadership and see that Party leadership is exercised in all aspects and every stage of the endeavors of the Party and the country. This will ensure that our Party always remains the pillar that the Chinese people can lean on in times of difficulty, that our socialist modernization advances along the right path, and that we have the political cohesion and confidence in our development to inspire the people to strive in unity. It will see us forming a mighty force to overcome all difficulties with one heart and one mind.
——坚持中国特色社会主义道路。坚持以经济建设为中心,坚持四项基本原则,坚持改革开放,坚持独立自主、自力更生,坚持道不变、志不改,既不走封闭僵化的老路,也不走改旗易帜的邪路,坚持把国家和民族发展放在自己力量的基点上,坚持把中国发展进步的命运牢牢掌握在自己手中。
—Following the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. We must continue to pursue economic development as our central task, uphold the Four Cardinal Principles, remain committed to reform and opening up, and stay independent and self-reliant. We must keep to our path and not sway in our commitment. We must not return to the isolation and rigidity of the past, or veer off course by changing our nature or abandoning our system. We must develop our country and our nation with our own strength, and we must maintain a firm grasp on the future of China’s development and progress.
——坚持以人民为中心的发展思想。维护人民根本利益,增进民生福祉,不断实现发展为了人民、发展依靠人民、发展成果由人民共享,让现代化建设成果更多更公平惠及全体人民。
—Applying a people-centered development philosophy. We must protect the people’s fundamental interests, improve their wellbeing, and work tirelessly to ensure that development is for the people and by the people and that its fruits are shared by the people. We must do a better job of seeing that the gains of modernization benefit all our people fairly.
——坚持深化改革开放。深入推进改革创新,坚定不移扩大开放,着力破解深层次体制机制障碍,不断彰显中国特色社会主义制度优势,不断增强社会主义现代化建设的动力和活力,把我国制度优势更好转化为国家治理效能。
—Remaining committed to deepening reform and opening up. We must intensify efforts to advance reform and explore new ground, and we must remain steadfast in expanding opening up. We must work hard to remove deep-seated institutional barriers so as to fully tap into the strengths of socialism with Chinese characteristics and continuously imbue our socialist modernization endeavors with fresh dynamism and vitality. We must do better in translating our country’s institutional strengths into effective governance.

——坚持发扬斗争精神。增强全党全国各族人民的志气、骨气、底气,不信邪、不怕鬼、不怕压,知难而进、迎难而上,统筹发展和安全,全力战胜前进道路上各种困难和挑战,依靠顽强斗争打开事业发展新天地。
—Carrying forward our fighting spirit. We must foster a firmer sense of purpose, fortitude, and self-belief in the whole Party and the Chinese people so that we cannot be swayed by fallacies, deterred by intimidation, or cowed by pressure. We must meet obstacles and difficulties head on, ensure both development and security, and dig deep to surmount the difficulties and challenges on the road ahead. Let us harness our indomitable fighting spirit to open up new horizons for our cause.

Comrades,
Today, we are closer, more confident, and more capable than ever of reaching the goal of rejuvenating the Chinese nation. At the same time, we must be prepared to work even harder to get there. All of us in the Party must forge ahead with confidence and determination; proactively identify, respond to, and steer changes and prevent and defuse risks; and keep on striving to secure new successes in building a modern socialist China in all respects.
四、加快构建新发展格局,着力推动高质量发展
IV. Accelerating the Creation of a New Development Pattern
and Pursuing High-Quality Development
高质量发展是全面建设社会主义现代化国家的首要任务。发展是党执政兴国的第一要务。没有坚实的物质技术基础,就不可能全面建成社会主义现代化强国。必须完整、准确、全面贯彻新发展理念,坚持社会主义市场经济改革方向,坚持高水平对外开放,加快构建以国内大循环为主体、国内国际双循环相互促进的新发展格局。
To build a modern socialist country in all respects, we must, first and foremost, pursue high-quality development. Development is our Party’s top priority in governing and rejuvenating China, for without solid material and technological foundations, we cannot hope to build a great modern socialist country in all respects. We must fully and faithfully apply the new development philosophy on all fronts, continue reforms to develop the socialist market economy, promote high-standard opening up, and accelerate efforts to foster a new pattern of development that is focused on the domestic economy and features positive interplay between domestic and international economic flows.
我们要坚持以推动高质量发展为主题,把实施扩大内需战略同深化供给侧结构性改革有机结合起来,增强国内大循环内生动力和可靠性,提升国际循环质量和水平,加快建设现代化经济体系,着力提高全要素生产率,着力提升产业链供应链韧性和安全水平,着力推进城乡融合和区域协调发展,推动经济实现质的有效提升和量的合理增长。
Pursuing high-quality development as our overarching task, we will make sure that our implementation of the strategy to expand domestic demand is integrated with our efforts to deepen supply-side structural reform; we will boost the dynamism and reliability of the domestic economy while engaging at a higher level in the global economy; and we will move faster to build a modernized economy. We will raise total factor productivity, make China’s industrial and supply chains more resilient and secure, and promote integrated urban-rural development and coordinated regional development, so as to effectively upgrade and appropriately expand China’s economic output.

1. Building a high-standard socialist market economy
We must uphold and improve China’s basic socialist economic systems. We must unswervingly consolidate and develop the public sector and unswervingly encourage, support, and guide the development of the non-public sector. We will work to see that the market plays the decisive role in resource allocation and that the government better plays its role.
We will deepen reform of state-owned capital and state-owned enterprises (SOEs); accelerate efforts to improve the layout of the state-owned sector and adjust its structure; work to see state-owned capital and enterprises get stronger, do better, and grow bigger; and enhance the core competitiveness of SOEs.
We will provide an enabling environment for private enterprises, protect their property rights and the rights and interests of entrepreneurs in accordance with the law, and facilitate the growth of the private sector. We will improve the modern corporate system with distinctive Chinese features, encourage entrepreneurship, and move faster to help Chinese companies become world-class outfits. We will support the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises.
We will intensify reforms to streamline government administration, delegate power, improve regulation, and upgrade services. We will build a unified national market, advance reforms for the market-based allocation of production factors, and put in place a high-standard market system.

We will carry out industrial foundation reengineering projects and research projects on major technologies and equipment; support enterprises that use special and sophisticated technologies to produce novel and unique products; and move the manufacturing sector toward higher-end, smarter, and greener production.
We will consolidate our leading position in industries where we excel, work faster to shore up weaknesses in sectors vital to China’s development security, and improve our capacity for securing the supply of strategic resources. We will promote the integrated and clustered development of strategic emerging industries and cultivate new growth engines such as next-generation information technology, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, new energy, new materials, high-end equipment, and green industry.
We will build a new system of efficient and high-quality services and promote further integration of modern services with advanced manufacturing and modern agriculture. We will accelerate development of the Internet of Things and build an efficient and smooth logistics system to help cut distribution costs.
We will accelerate the development of the digital economy, further integrate it with the real economy, and build internationally competitive digital industry clusters. We will build a modern infrastructure system with a better layout and structure, more effective functions, and greater system integration.
(三)全面推进乡村振兴。全面建设社会主义现代化国家,最艰巨最繁重的任务仍然在农村。坚持农业农村优先发展,坚持城乡融合发展,畅通城乡要素流动。加快建设农业强国,扎实推动乡村产业、人才、文化、生态、组织振兴。全方位夯实粮食安全根基,全面落实粮食安全党政同责,牢牢守住十八亿亩耕地红线,逐步把永久基本农田全部建成高标准农田,深入实施种业振兴行动,强化农业科技和装备支撑,健全种粮农民收益保障机制和主产区利益补偿机制,确保中国人的饭碗牢牢端在自己手中。树立大食物观,发展设施农业,构建多元化食物供给体系。发展乡村特色产业,拓宽农民增收致富渠道。巩固拓展脱贫攻坚成果,增强脱贫地区和脱贫群众内生发展动力。统筹乡村基础设施和公共服务布局,建设宜居宜业和美乡村。巩固和完善农村基本经营制度,发展新型农村集体经济,发展新型农业经营主体和社会化服务,发展农业适度规模经营。深化农村土地制度改革,赋予农民更加充分的财产权益。保障进城落户农民合法土地权益,鼓励依法自愿有偿转让。完善农业支持保护制度,健全农村金融服务体系。
3. Advancing rural revitalization across the board
The most challenging and arduous tasks we face in building a modern socialist China in all respects remain in our rural areas. We will continue to put agricultural and rural development first, pursue integrated development of urban and rural areas, and facilitate the flows of production factors between them. We will move faster to build up China’s strength in agriculture and steadily promote the revitalization of businesses, talent, culture, ecosystems, and organizations in the countryside.
We must reinforce the foundations for food security on all fronts. We will ensure that both Party committees and governments assume responsibility for ensuring food security and that China’s total area of farmland does not fall below the redline of 120 million hectares. We will work to gradually develop all permanent basic cropland into high-standard cropland. We will invigorate the seed industry, support the development of agricultural science, technology, and equipment, and refine the mechanisms for ensuring the incomes of grain growers and for compensating major grain-producing areas. With these efforts, we will ensure that China’s food supply remains firmly in its own hands.
We will adopt an all-encompassing approach to food, develop protected agriculture, and build a diversified food supply system. We will foster rural industries with local features to create more channels for increasing rural incomes. We will consolidate and expand our achievements in poverty alleviation and help areas and people that have just shaken off poverty build their own momentum for growth. We will develop infrastructure and public services in rural areas in a well-planned and coordinated way and build a beautiful and harmonious countryside that is desirable to live and work in.
We will consolidate and improve the basic rural operation system, develop new rural collective economies, cultivate new types of agribusiness and commercial agricultural services, and support appropriately scaled agricultural operations. We will advance reform of the rural land system and grant farmers more adequate property rights and interests. We will safeguard the lawful land rights and interests of rural residents who have moved to urban areas and obtained permanent residency, and we will encourage law-based, voluntary, and paid transfers of such rights and interests.

4. Promoting coordinated regional development
We will thoroughly implement the coordinated regional development strategy, major regional strategies, the functional zoning strategy, and the new urbanization strategy. We will improve the distribution of the major productive forces and develop a regional economic layout and a territorial space system that complement each other’s strengths and promote high-quality development.
We will make further progress in the large-scale development of the western region, achieve new breakthroughs in the full revitalization of the Northeast, accelerate the rise of the central region, and encourage the eastern region to modernize more quickly.
We will support old revolutionary base areas and areas with large ethnic minority populations in speeding up development. We will promote development in border areas to boost local economies, raise local living standards, and ensure local stability.
We will promote coordinated development in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, the development of the Yangtze Economic Belt, the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, and ecological conservation and high-quality development in the Yellow River basin. We will build the Xiongan New Area to a high standard and drive forward the development of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic zone.
We will improve the functional zoning system and the development of territorial space. We will advance people-centered new urbanization and work faster to grant permanent urban residency to eligible people who move from rural to urban areas.
We will leverage the role of city clusters and metropolitan areas to promote coordinated development of large, medium, and small cities and push forward with urbanization that is centered on county seats. Guided by the principle that cities should be built by the people and for the people, we will improve urban planning, construction, and governance and move faster to change the development models of super-large and mega cities. We will carry out urban renewal projects and improve urban infrastructure to build livable, resilient, and smart cities.
We will develop the marine economy, protect the marine ecological environment, and step up efforts to build China into a strong maritime country.
(五)推进高水平对外开放。依托我国超大规模市场优势,以国内大循环吸引全球资源要素,增强国内国际两个市场两种资源联动效应,提升贸易投资合作质量和水平。稳步扩大规则、规制、管理、标准等制度型开放。推动货物贸易优化升级,创新服务贸易发展机制,发展数字贸易,加快建设贸易强国。合理缩减外资准入负面清单,依法保护外商投资权益,营造市场化、法治化、国际化一流营商环境。推动共建“一带一路”高质量发展。优化区域开放布局,巩固东部沿海地区开放先导地位,提高中西部和东北地区开放水平。加快建设西部陆海新通道。加快建设海南自由贸易港,实施自由贸易试验区提升战略,扩大面向全球的高标准自由贸易区网络。有序推进人民币国际化。深度参与全球产业分工和合作,维护多元稳定的国际经济格局和经贸关系。
5. Promoting high-standard opening up
We will leverage the strengths of China’s enormous market, attract global resources and production factors with our strong domestic economy, and amplify the interplay between domestic and international markets and resources.

十三、坚持和完善“一国两制”,推进祖国统一
XIII. Upholding and Improving the Policy of One Country, Two Systems
and Promoting National Reunification
“一国两制”是中国特色社会主义的伟大创举,是香港、澳门回归后保持长期繁荣稳定的最佳制度安排,必须长期坚持。
The policy of One Country, Two Systems is a great innovation of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It has proven to be the best institutional arrangement for ensuring sustained prosperity and stability in Hong Kong and Macao after their return to the motherland. This policy must be adhered to over the long term.
全面准确、坚定不移贯彻“一国两制”、“港人治港”、“澳人治澳”、高度自治的方针,坚持依法治港治澳,维护宪法和基本法确定的特别行政区宪制秩序。坚持和完善“一国两制”制度体系,落实中央全面管治权,落实“爱国者治港”、“爱国者治澳”原则,落实特别行政区维护国家安全的法律制度和执行机制。坚持中央全面管治权和保障特别行政区高度自治权相统一,坚持行政主导,支持行政长官和特别行政区政府依法施政,提升全面治理能力和管治水平,完善特别行政区司法制度和法律体系,保持香港、澳门资本主义制度和生活方式长期不变,促进香港、澳门长期繁荣稳定。
We will fully, faithfully, and resolutely implement the policy of One Country, Two Systems, under which the people of Hong Kong administer Hong Kong and the people of Macao administer Macao, both with a high degree of autonomy. We will remain committed to law-based governance in Hong Kong and Macao and maintain constitutional order in these two special administrative regions as stipulated in China’s Constitution and their basic laws.
We will uphold and improve the systems for implementing the One Country, Two Systems policy and ensure that the central government exercises overall jurisdiction over the two regions. We will see that Hong Kong and Macao are administered by patriots and that the laws and enforcement mechanisms for safeguarding national security are implemented there.
We will ensure both the central government’s overall jurisdiction and a high degree of autonomy in the special administrative regions. We will uphold executive-led government in Hong Kong and Macao and support the chief executives and governments of the two regions in exercising law-based administration, enhancing their overall governance and management capacity, and improving their judicial and legal systems. We will ensure that the capitalist system and way of life remain unchanged in Hong Kong and Macao in the long run and work to promote long-term prosperity and stability in the two regions.

We will give full play to the strengths and distinctive features of the two regions to see them consolidate and elevate their international position in finance, trade, shipping, aviation, innovation and technology, culture and tourism, and other fields.
We will encourage Hong Kong and Macao to conduct deeper, closer, and broader exchanges and cooperation with other regions and countries. We will continue to develop the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and support Hong Kong and Macao in better integrating themselves into China’s overall development and playing a greater role in realizing national rejuvenation.
发展壮大爱国爱港爱澳力量,增强港澳同胞的爱国精神,形成更广泛的国内外支持“一国两制”的统一战线。坚决打击反中乱港乱澳势力,坚决防范和遏制外部势力干预港澳事务。
We will inspire more people in Hong Kong and Macao to love both the country and their own regions, be more patriotic, and forge a broader united front at home and abroad in support of the One Country, Two Systems policy. We will crack down hard on anti-China elements who attempt to create chaos in Hong Kong and Macao. We will take resolute action to prevent and stop interference in the affairs of Hong Kong and Macao by external forces.
解决台湾问题、实现祖国完全统一,是党矢志不渝的历史任务,是全体中华儿女的共同愿望,是实现中华民族伟大复兴的必然要求。坚持贯彻新时代党解决台湾问题的总体方略,牢牢把握两岸关系主导权和主动权,坚定不移推进祖国统一大业。
Resolving the Taiwan question and realizing China’s complete reunification is, for the Party, a historic mission and an unshakable commitment. It is also a shared aspiration of all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation and a natural requirement for realizing the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. We will implement our Party’s overall policy for resolving the Taiwan question in the new era, maintain the initiative and the ability to steer in cross-Strait relations, and unswervingly advance the cause of national reunification.
“和平统一、一国两制”方针是实现两岸统一的最佳方式,对两岸同胞和中华民族最有利。我们坚持一个中国原则和“九二共识”,在此基础上,推进同台湾各党派、各界别、各阶层人士就两岸关系和国家统一开展广泛深入协商,共同推动两岸关系和平发展、推进祖国和平统一进程。我们坚持团结广大台湾同胞,坚定支持岛内爱国统一力量,共同把握历史大势,坚守民族大义,坚定反“独”促统。伟大祖国永远是所有爱国统一力量的坚强后盾!
The policies of peaceful reunification and One Country, Two Systems are the best way to realize reunification across the Taiwan Strait; this best serves the interests of Chinese people on both sides of the Strait and the entire Chinese nation. We will adhere to the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus. On this basis, we will conduct extensive and in-depth consultations on cross-Strait relations and national reunification with people from all political parties, sectors, and social strata in Taiwan, and we will work with them to promote peaceful development of cross-Strait relations and advance the process of China’s peaceful reunification.
We will stand closely with our Taiwan compatriots, give firm support to patriots in Taiwan who desire reunification, and join hands to keep pace with the trends of history. We will safeguard the overall interests of the Chinese nation and take resolute steps to oppose “Taiwan independence” and promote reunification. Our great country will forever stand firm behind all patriots who support reunification.
两岸同胞血脉相连,是血浓于水的一家人。我们始终尊重、关爱、造福台湾同胞,继续致力于促进两岸经济文化交流合作,深化两岸各领域融合发展,完善增进台湾同胞福祉的制度和政策,推动两岸共同弘扬中华文化,促进两岸同胞心灵契合。
Blood runs thicker than water, and fellow Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are one family bound by blood. We have always shown respect and care for our Taiwan compatriots and worked to deliver benefits to them. We will continue to promote economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation across the Strait, advance our integrated development in all fields, and improve systems and policies that contribute to the wellbeing of our Taiwan compatriots. We will encourage people on both sides of the Strait to work together to promote Chinese culture and forge closer bonds.
台湾是中国的台湾。解决台湾问题是中国人自己的事,要由中国人来决定。我们坚持以最大诚意、尽最大努力争取和平统一的前景,但决不承诺放弃使用武力,保留采取一切必要措施的选项,这针对的是外部势力干涉和极少数“台独”分裂分子及其分裂活动,绝非针对广大台湾同胞。国家统一、民族复兴的历史车轮滚滚向前,祖国完全统一一定要实现,也一定能够实现!
Taiwan is China’s Taiwan. Resolving the Taiwan question is a matter for the Chinese, a matter that must be resolved by the Chinese. We will continue to strive for peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and the utmost effort, but we will never promise to renounce the use of force, and we reserve the option of taking all measures necessary. This is directed solely at interference by outside forces and the few separatists seeking “Taiwan independence” and their separatist activities; it is by no means targeted at our Taiwan compatriots.
The wheels of history are rolling on toward China’s reunification and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Complete reunification of our country must be realized, and it can, without doubt, be realized!

十五、坚定不移全面从严治党,深入推进新时代党的建设新的伟大工程
XV. Exercising Full and Rigorous Self-Governance and
Advancing the Great New Project of Party Building in the New Era
全面建设社会主义现代化国家、全面推进中华民族伟大复兴,关键在党。我们党作为世界上最大的马克思主义执政党,要始终赢得人民拥护、巩固长期执政地位,必须时刻保持解决大党独有难题的清醒和坚定。经过十八大以来全面从严治党,我们解决了党内许多突出问题,但党面临的执政考验、改革开放考验、市场经济考验、外部环境考验将长期存在,精神懈怠危险、能力不足危险、脱离群众危险、消极腐败危险将长期存在。全党必须牢记,全面从严治党永远在路上,党的自我革命永远在路上,决不能有松劲歇脚、疲劳厌战的情绪,必须持之以恒推进全面从严治党,深入推进新时代党的建设新的伟大工程,以党的自我革命引领社会革命。
Our Party has a pivotal role in building China into a modern socialist country in all respects and in advancing the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on all fronts. As the largest Marxist governing party in the world, we must always stay alert and determined to tackle the special challenges that a large party like ours faces, so as to maintain the people’s support and consolidate our position as the long-term governing party.
Since our Party’s 18th National Congress, we have exercised full and rigorous self-governance and solved many of our prominent problems. Nevertheless, the tests the Party faces in governance, reform and opening up, the market economy, and the external environment will exist for a long time to come, as will the dangers of a lack of drive, incompetence, disengagement from the people, inaction, and corruption.
All of us in the Party must bear in mind that full and rigorous self-governance is an unceasing endeavor and that self-reform is a journey to which there is no end. We must never slacken our efforts and never allow ourselves to become weary or beaten. We must persevere with full and rigorous self-governance, continue to advance the great new project of Party building in the new era, and use our own transformation to steer social transformation.

We will be firm believers and loyal practitioners of the noble ideal of communism and the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
We will apply what we have learned in practice, act on our beliefs, and turn the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era into a powerful force for strengthening ideals, enhancing Party consciousness, guiding practice, and advancing our work.
We will combine theoretical study with regular, long-term study of the Party’s history and see that Party members and officials strengthen their understanding, conviction, integrity, and diligence through continued study of Party history and carry forward our revolutionary traditions and heritage. We will launch theoretical study programs for Party members, especially leading officials at and above the county and director level.
(三)完善党的自我革命制度规范体系。坚持制度治党、依规治党,以党章为根本,以民主集中制为核心,完善党内法规制度体系,增强党内法规权威性和执行力,形成坚持真理、修正错误,发现问题、纠正偏差的机制。健全党统一领导、全面覆盖、权威高效的监督体系,完善权力监督制约机制,以党内监督为主导,促进各类监督贯通协调,让权力在阳光下运行。推进政治监督具体化、精准化、常态化,增强对“一把手”和领导班子监督实效。发挥政治巡视利剑作用,加强巡视整改和成果运用。落实全面从严治党政治责任,用好问责利器。
3. Improving the systems and regulations for the Party’s self-reform
We will continue to run the Party with systems and regulations. We should take the Party Constitution as our fundamental guide and give full play to the core role of democratic centralism in order to improve the framework of Party regulations, increase their authority, and fully enforce them. We will put in place mechanisms for upholding truth, correcting errors, uncovering problems, and remedying failings.
We will improve the total-coverage, authoritative, and highly effective oversight system under the Party’s unified leadership and refine the mechanisms for overseeing power and keeping it in check. We will generate synergy between various forms of oversight with intraparty oversight serving as the mainstay, and we will ensure that power is exercised in broad daylight.
We will conduct concrete, targeted, and regular political oversight and keep leadership teams and their heads under effective oversight. We will see that political inspections serve as a powerful tool and that follow-up rectifications are made accordingly and their results are put to practical use. We will work to ensure that political responsibility for full and rigorous Party self-governance is fulfilled and that accountability mechanisms have real teeth.
(四)建设堪当民族复兴重任的高素质干部队伍。全面建设社会主义现代化国家,必须有一支政治过硬、适应新时代要求、具备领导现代化建设能力的干部队伍。坚持党管干部原则,坚持德才兼备、以德为先、五湖四海、任人唯贤,把新时代好干部标准落到实处。树立选人用人正确导向,选拔忠诚干净担当的高素质专业化干部,选优配强各级领导班子。坚持把政治标准放在首位,做深做实干部政治素质考察,突出把好政治关、廉洁关。加强实践锻炼、专业训练,注重在重大斗争中磨砺干部,增强干部推动高质量发展本领、服务群众本领、防范化解风险本领。加强干部斗争精神和斗争本领养成,着力增强防风险、迎挑战、抗打压能力,带头担当作为,做到平常时候看得出来、关键时刻站得出来、危难关头豁得出来。完善干部考核评价体系,引导干部树立和践行正确政绩观,推动干部能上能下、能进能出,形成能者上、优者奖、庸者下、劣者汰的良好局面。抓好后继有人这个根本大计,健全培养选拔优秀年轻干部常态化工作机制,把到基层和艰苦地区锻炼成长作为年轻干部培养的重要途径。重视女干部培养选拔工作,发挥女干部重要作用。重视培养和用好少数民族干部,统筹做好党外干部工作。做好离退休干部工作。加强和改进公务员工作,优化机构编制资源配置。坚持严管和厚爱相结合,加强对干部全方位管理和经常性监督,落实“三个区分开来”,激励干部敢于担当、积极作为。关心关爱基层干部特别是条件艰苦地区干部。
4. Cultivating officials capable of shouldering the mission of national rejuvenation
To build a modern socialist country in all respects, we must have a team of officials who are politically committed and who have the competence to meet the needs of the new era and lead China’s modernization drive.
We must adhere to the principle of the Party supervising officials. We must select officials on the basis of both integrity and ability, with greater weight given to integrity, and on the basis of merit regardless of background, thus fully applying the criteria for judging competent officials in the new era.
We will follow the right approach to selecting and appointing officials, select those who are high-caliber, professional, loyal, upright, and responsible, and ensure that strong and competent leadership teams are put in place at all levels. We will take political commitment as the primary criterion for selection and carry out solid vetting of officials’ political commitment to ensure that they are politically reliable and corruption-free.
We will strengthen the ability of officials by tempering them through practice and giving them professional training, and we will focus on honing their skills by assigning them major tasks. This will help to ensure that officials become more capable of pursuing high-quality development, serving the people, and guarding against and defusing risks.
We will redouble our efforts to build the fighting spirit and ability of officials, particularly their ability to prevent risks, rise to challenges, and withstand pressure. This will enable them to take the lead in shouldering responsibility and to excel in their daily work, step forward at critical moments, and act with courage in times of danger.
We will improve the system for assessing officials’ performance and see that officials have a correct understanding of what it means to perform well. We should also see that officials can be demoted as well as promoted and dismissed as well as recruited, thereby creating an environment in which the competent are elevated, the outstanding are rewarded, the mediocre are demoted, and the incompetent are dismissed.
It is of critical importance to the Party’s future that we have qualified successors to carry forward our cause. With this in mind, we will improve the regular working mechanisms for training and selecting promising young officials. We should encourage young officials to work and gain experience in local communities and areas where conditions are harsh, and we should make such assignments an important part of their training.
We will attach importance to cultivating and selecting female officials and give full play to their important role. We will also attach importance to cultivating and appointing officials from ethnic minorities and carry out work related to non-Party officials in a well-coordinated way. We will ensure that retired officials are well taken care of.
We will improve our management of public servants and better allocate staffing resources for Party and state institutions. We should both be strict with our officials and care for them, and we should strengthen overall management and regular supervision of them. We should apply the “three distinctions,” so as to encourage officials to boldly take on responsibilities and demonstrate enterprise in their work. We should care about officials working in local communities, particularly those working in areas where conditions are harsh.
(五)增强党组织政治功能和组织功能。严密的组织体系是党的优势所在、力量所在。各级党组织要履行党章赋予的各项职责,把党的路线方针政策和党中央决策部署贯彻落实好,把各领域广大群众组织凝聚好。坚持大抓基层的鲜明导向,抓党建促乡村振兴,加强城市社区党建工作,推进以党建引领基层治理,持续整顿软弱涣散基层党组织,把基层党组织建设成为有效实现党的领导的坚强战斗堡垒。全面提高机关党建质量,推进事业单位党建工作。推进国有企业、金融企业在完善公司治理中加强党的领导,加强混合所有制企业、非公有制企业党建工作,理顺行业协会、学会、商会党建工作管理体制。加强新经济组织、新社会组织、新就业群体党的建设。注重从青年和产业工人、农民、知识分子中发展党员,加强和改进党员特别是流动党员教育管理。落实党内民主制度,保障党员权利,激励党员发挥先锋模范作用。严肃稳妥处置不合格党员,保持党员队伍先进性和纯洁性。
5. Enhancing the political and organizational functions of Party organizations
The Party’s advantages and strength lie in its close-knit organizational system. Party organizations at all levels must perform the duties prescribed to them by the Party Constitution, implement the Party’s lines, principles, and policies and the Central Committee’s decisions and plans, and effectively organize and rally people from all walks of life.
In strengthening Party organizations, we need to keep a clear focus on the primary level, using Party building initiatives to propel rural revitalization and intensifying Party-building efforts in urban communities. We will guide community-level governance through Party building, keep working to strengthen weak and lax Party organizations at the primary level, and see that primary-level Party organizations play a key role in ensuring the exercise of the Party’s leadership.
Party building will be improved across the board in Party and state offices and will be advanced in public institutions. We will make sure that Party leadership in SOEs and financial firms is strengthened in the process of their improvements to corporate governance. Party building will also be stepped up in mixed-ownership and non-public enterprises. The management systems for Party building in trade associations, academic societies, and chambers of commerce will be improved. Party building efforts will also be enhanced in new types of economic and social organizations and among groups in new forms of employment.
We will pay particular attention to recruiting young people, industrial workers, farmers, and intellectuals into the Party. Training and management will be improved for Party members, especially those among floating populations. We will implement the systems for intraparty democracy, protect Party members’ rights, and motivate them to become role models. At the same time, we must earnestly and prudently handle Party members who do not measure up to standards so as to preserve our Party membership’s advanced nature and integrity.
(六)坚持以严的基调强化正风肃纪。党风问题关系执政党的生死存亡。弘扬党的光荣传统和优良作风,促进党员干部特别是领导干部带头深入调查研究,扑下身子干实事、谋实招、求实效。锲而不舍落实中央八项规定精神,抓住“关键少数”以上率下,持续深化纠治“四风”,重点纠治形式主义、官僚主义,坚决破除特权思想和特权行为。把握作风建设地区性、行业性、阶段性特点,抓住普遍发生、反复出现的问题深化整治,推进作风建设常态化长效化。全面加强党的纪律建设,督促领导干部特别是高级干部严于律己、严负其责、严管所辖,对违反党纪的问题,发现一起坚决查处一起。坚持党性党风党纪一起抓,从思想上固本培元,提高党性觉悟,增强拒腐防变能力,涵养富贵不能淫、贫贱不能移、威武不能屈的浩然正气。
6. Taking strict steps to improve Party conduct and enforce Party discipline
Good conduct is critical to the survival of a governing party. We must carry forward the proud traditions and venerable conduct of the Party. In doing so, we will encourage Party officials, especially leading officials, to take the lead in conducting in-depth research and studies and to immerse themselves in hard work, take concrete measures, and deliver solid outcomes. We will steadfastly implement the central Party leadership’s eight-point decision on improving conduct and see that leading officials, or the “key few,” set an example for those below them. We will continue to tackle pointless formalities, bureaucratism, hedonism, and extravagance, with a focus on the first two. We will resolutely root out privilege-seeking mindsets and behavior. In improving Party conduct, we will identify problems specific to certain areas, sectors, and periods of time, go to great lengths to tackle prevalent and recurrent problems, and make consistent and sustained efforts.
We must make all-around efforts to tighten Party discipline. We will urge leading officials, especially high-ranking ones, to be strict with themselves, earnestly fulfill their responsibilities, and conduct rigorous management within their jurisdictions. Regarding violations of Party discipline, each and every infraction identified must be strictly investigated and handled. We will work in concert to enhance Party consciousness, improve Party conduct, and tighten Party discipline. This will enable Party members to maintain firm ideals and convictions, enhance their Party consciousness, and bolster their resistance to corruption and moral decline. We will foster within our Party members an inner strength to never be corrupted by wealth or power, never deviate from principle even in poverty or humble positions, and never yield to the threat of force.

(七)坚决打赢反腐败斗争攻坚战持久战。腐败是危害党的生命力和战斗力的最大毒瘤,反腐败是最彻底的自我革命。只要存在腐败问题产生的土壤和条件,反腐败斗争就一刻不能停,必须永远吹冲锋号。坚持不敢腐、不能腐、不想腐一体推进,同时发力、同向发力、综合发力。以零容忍态度反腐惩恶,更加有力遏制增量,更加有效清除存量,坚决查处政治问题和经济问题交织的腐败,坚决防止领导干部成为利益集团和权势团体的代言人、代理人,坚决治理政商勾连破坏政治生态和经济发展环境问题,决不姑息。深化整治权力集中、资金密集、资源富集领域的腐败,坚决惩治群众身边的“蝇贪”,严肃查处领导干部配偶、子女及其配偶等亲属和身边工作人员利用影响力谋私贪腐问题,坚持受贿行贿一起查,惩治新型腐败和隐性腐败。深化反腐败国际合作,一体构建追逃防逃追赃机制。深化标本兼治,推进反腐败国家立法,加强新时代廉洁文化建设,教育引导广大党员、干部增强不想腐的自觉,清清白白做人、干干净净做事,使严厉惩治、规范权力、教育引导紧密结合、协调联动,不断取得更多制度性成果和更大治理效能。
7. Winning the tough and protracted battle against corruption
Corruption is a cancer to the vitality and ability of the Party, and fighting corruption is the most thorough kind of self-reform there is. As long as the breeding grounds and conditions for corruption still exist, we must keep sounding the bugle and never rest, not even for a minute, in our fight against corruption.
We will continue to take simultaneous, coordinated, and comprehensive steps to ensure that officials do not have the audacity, opportunity, or desire to become corrupt. We must show zero tolerance in opposing corruption and punishing wrongdoing, and we must take more forceful action to both prevent new cases and root out existing ones. We will investigate and deal with corruption that involves both political and economic elements, resolutely prevent leading officials from acting for any interest group or power group, and crack down on any collusion between officials and businesspeople that undermines the political ecosystem or economic development. There must be no mercy for corruption.
We will intensify efforts to uproot corruption in sectors with a high concentration of power, funds, and resources. Firm action will be taken to swat “flies,” or corrupt low-ranking officials, whose misconduct directly affects people’s lives. We will strictly investigate and handle cases of corruption where leading officials’ spouses, children, children’s spouses, other relatives, or staff use their influence to seek personal gain. We will punish both bribe takers and givers and combat new and disguised forms of corruption. We will deepen international cooperation to combat corruption and establish an integrated mechanism for pursuing fugitives, preventing escape, and retrieving stolen assets.

To address both the symptoms and root causes of corruption, we will advance national anti-corruption legislation and promote a culture of integrity in the new era. We will provide education and guidance aimed at strengthening the vigilance of Party members and officials so that they have no desire to engage in corruption and so they live and work with honesty and integrity. We will closely integrate and coordinate harsh punishment, regulation over the exercise of power, and education and guidance, so as to continually secure more institutional achievements and greater efficiency in fighting corruption.
同志们!时代呼唤着我们,人民期待着我们,唯有矢志不渝、笃行不怠,方能不负时代、不负人民。全党必须牢记,坚持党的全面领导是坚持和发展中国特色社会主义的必由之路,中国特色社会主义是实现中华民族伟大复兴的必由之路,团结奋斗是中国人民创造历史伟业的必由之路,贯彻新发展理念是新时代我国发展壮大的必由之路,全面从严治党是党永葆生机活力、走好新的赶考之路的必由之路。这是我们在长期实践中得出的至关紧要的规律性认识,必须倍加珍惜、始终坚持,咬定青山不放松,引领和保障中国特色社会主义巍巍巨轮乘风破浪、行稳致远。
Comrades,
The times are calling us, and the people expect us to deliver. Only by pressing ahead with unwavering commitment and perseverance will we be able to answer the call of our times and meet the expectations of our people.
All of us in the Party must remember: Upholding the Party’s overall leadership is the path we must take to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics; building socialism with Chinese characteristics is the path we must take to realize the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation; striving in unity is the path the Chinese people must take to create great historic achievements; implementing the new development philosophy is the path China must take to grow stronger in the new era; and exercising full and rigorous self-governance is the path the Party must take to maintain its vigor and pass new tests on the road ahead.
We have come to this understanding through many years of practice. It is a conclusion of paramount importance that we must cherish, uphold, and never deviate from. Under its guidance, we will ensure that the great ship of socialism with Chinese characteristics catches the wind, cuts through the waves, and sails steadily into the future.

Unity is strength, and only in unity can we succeed. To build China into a modern socialist country in all respects, we must unleash the tremendous creativity of the Chinese people in their hundreds of millions. All of us in the Party must stay true to our fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, maintain a people-centered mindset, and carry out the mass line. We must respect the pioneering spirit of our people and ensure that we are acting for the people and relying on the people in everything we do. We must follow the principle of “from the people, to the people,” maintain a close bond with the people, and accept their criticism and oversight. We must breathe the same air as the people, share the same future, and stay truly connected to them. We must strengthen the great unity of the Chinese people of all ethnic groups and the great unity of all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation at home and abroad. By doing so, we will create a powerful collective force working with one heart and one mind to realize the Chinese Dream.
青年强,则国家强。当代中国青年生逢其时,施展才干的舞台无比广阔,实现梦想的前景无比光明。全党要把青年工作作为战略性工作来抓,用党的科学理论武装青年,用党的初心使命感召青年,做青年朋友的知心人、青年工作的热心人、青年群众的引路人。广大青年要坚定不移听党话、跟党走,怀抱梦想又脚踏实地,敢想敢为又善作善成,立志做有理想、敢担当、能吃苦、肯奋斗的新时代好青年,让青春在全面建设社会主义现代化国家的火热实践中绽放绚丽之花。
A nation will prosper only when its young people thrive. China’s young people of today are living in a remarkable time. They have an incomparably broad stage on which to display their full talents, and they have incomparably bright prospects of realizing their dreams.
All of us in the Party should regard our work concerning young people as a matter of strategic significance. We will equip young people with the Party’s theories, inspire them with the Party’s original aspiration and founding mission, and become their confidants, advocates, and guides for the future.

Comrades,
The Party has made spectacular achievements through its great endeavors over the past century, and our new endeavors will surely lead to more spectacular achievements.
Let the whole Party, the entire military, and the Chinese people of all ethnic groups stay closely rallied around the Party Central Committee. Let us keep in mind that empty talk will do nothing for our country; only solid work will make it flourish. Let us maintain firm confidence, unite as one, and forge ahead with resolve. And let us strive in unity to build a modern socialist country in all respects and advance national rejuvenation on all fronts.
