The highest ideal and ultimate goal of the Party is to realize communism.

The Communist Party of China takes Marxism Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of "Three Represents", the Scientific Outlook on Development, and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as its own guide to action.

Marxism Leninism reveals the law of the historical development of human society. Its basic principles are correct and have strong vitality. The highest ideal of communism pursued by the Chinese Communists can only be realized on the basis of the full development and highly developed socialist society. The development and improvement of the socialist system is a long-term historical process. By adhering to the basic principles of Marxism Leninism and following the path chosen by the Chinese people of their own free will and suited to China's national conditions, China's socialist cause will surely win the final victory.

Under the guidance of Mao Zedong Thought, the Communist Party of China led the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to win the victory of the new democratic revolution and establish the People's Republic of China under the people's democratic dictatorship after a long period of revolutionary struggle against imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat capitalism; After the founding of New China, it successfully carried out socialist transformation, completed the transition from new democracy to socialism, established the basic socialist system, and developed the socialist economy, politics, and culture.

The important thought of "Three Represents" is the inheritance and development of Marxism Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory. It reflects the new requirements of the development and changes of the contemporary world and China on the work of the Party and the state.

The Scientific Outlook on Development is a scientific theory that comes down in one continuous line with Marxism Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of "Three Represents" and keeps pace with the times. It is a concentrated embodiment of the Marxist world outlook and methodology on development, a major achievement of the sinicization of Marxism, and a crystallization of the collective wisdom of the Communist Party of China, It is the guiding ideology that must be adhered to for a long time to develop socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese Communists, with Comrade Xi Jinping as the main representative, have adhered to the combination of the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality and the excellent traditional culture of China, and scientifically answered the major issues of the new era, such as what kind of socialism with Chinese characteristics to adhere to and develop, and how to adhere to and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, He founded Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is the inheritance and development of Marxism Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of Three Represents, and the Scientific Outlook on Development. It is contemporary Chinese Marxism, Marxism in the 21st century, the essence of the times of Chinese culture and Chinese spirit, and the crystallization of the practical experience and collective wisdom of the Party and the people, It is an important part of the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and an action guide for the whole party and people to strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The fundamental reason for all our achievements and progress since the reform and opening up is that we have opened up the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, formed the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, established the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, and developed the socialist culture with Chinese characteristics. All Party members should cherish, adhere to and constantly develop this path, this theoretical system, this system, and this culture that the Party has created through hardships, hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, strengthen confidence in the path, theory, system, and culture, carry forward the spirit of struggle, enhance the ability to fight, and implement the Party's basic theory, basic line The basic plan is to strive for the realization of the three major historical tasks of advancing modernization, completing the reunification of the motherland, safeguarding world peace and promoting common development, realizing the second century goal and realizing the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Since its establishment, the Communist Party of China has always regarded working for the happiness of the Chinese people and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as its original mission. After hundreds of years of struggle, it has fundamentally changed the future and destiny of the Chinese people, opened up the right path to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, demonstrated the strong vitality of Marxism, and profoundly affected the process of world history, It has forged the CPC which is in the forefront of the times.

This is the spiritual wealth created by the Party and the people, which must be cherished and adhered to for a long time, And constantly enrich and develop in practice.

China is in the primary stage of socialism and will remain so for a long time to come. This is an insurmountable historical stage in the construction of socialist modernization in China, which was originally economically and culturally backward, and it will take hundreds of years. Our socialist construction must proceed from our national conditions, follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and comprehensively promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese style modernization. At this stage, the main contradiction in our society is the contradiction between the people's growing needs for a better life and the unbalanced and inadequate development. Due to domestic factors and international influences, class struggle still exists for a long time in a certain range and may intensify under certain conditions, but it is no longer the main contradiction. The fundamental task of China's socialist construction is to further liberate the productive forces, develop them, gradually realize socialist modernization, and for this reason reform aspects and links in the relations of production and superstructure that do not adapt to the development of productive forces. We must adhere to and improve basic economic systems such as public ownership as the mainstay, multi ownership economies developing together, distribution according to work as the mainstay, multiple distribution methods coexisting, and the socialist market economy, encourage some regions and some people to become rich first, and gradually realize common prosperity for all people, On the basis of the development of production and the growth of social wealth, we will continue to meet the people's growing needs for a better life and promote the all-round development of people. Development is the top priority of our Party in governing and rejuvenating the country.

We should respect labor, knowledge, talents, and creativity, so that development is for the people, depends on the people, and the fruits of development are shared by the people. We must, in accordance with the overall layout of the "Five in One" and the "Four Comprehensively" strategic layout of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, promote economic, political, cultural, social, and ecological progress as a whole, and coordinate efforts to build a modern socialist country in an all-round way, deepen reform in an all-round way, rule the country by law, and strictly govern the Party in an all-round way.

（4） Higher Party organizations should always listen to the opinions of lower Party organizations and the masses of Party members, and solve their problems in a timely manner. The lower level organizations of the Party should not only ask for instructions and report their work to the higher level organizations, but also independently and responsibly solve problems within their scope of responsibility. The superior and subordinate organizations should exchange information, support and supervise each other. Party organizations at all levels should make Party affairs public as required, so that Party members can have more understanding and participation in Party affairs.
