General Secretary Xi Jinping’s Important Thought on Party Building has greatly enriched and developed the Marxist theory of party building. It marks a new height in our Party’s understanding of the laws governing the development of a Marxist governing party and provides the fundamental follow-through [1] for further advancing the Great New Project of Party Building in the New Era [2] and for conducting organizational work in the New Era. It is essential to earnestly study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s Important Thought on Party Building and to profoundly grasp the dialectical relationship between the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the Great New Project of Party Building in the New Era. We must persistently strengthen and improve Party building, research and solve the unique challenges facing a large party [3], and ensure that the Party remains the firm core of leadership in the practice of advancing the great cause. To conduct research on Party building in the New Era, we must deeply research and interpret General Secretary Xi Jinping’s Important Thought on Party Building, persist in a problem-oriented approach, carry forward the excellent Marxist style of study, "throw ourselves into" [4] thorough investigation and research, and make Party building research come alive.
