At present, China's development situation is generally good. To unite and lead the people to achieve the strategic goals set at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and win the new victory of socialism with Chinese characteristics, our Party needs to be more confident, inspire morale, and work together with one heart and one mind. We must take the people's aspiration for a better life as our goal, solve practical problems as well as ideological problems, and better strengthen confidence, gather people's hearts, warm people's hearts, and build a common heart. We must not only actively explain the Chinese road and Chinese characteristics, but also effectively safeguard China's political and cultural security. We must adhere to the principle of "building on foundation, building on foundation and breaking through simultaneously", and constantly enhance the cohesion and leadership of socialist ideology. We must scientifically understand the law of network communication, improve the level of network governance, and turn the Internet, the largest variable, into the largest increment of career development.
