Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has integrated the basic tenets of Marxism with China’s specific realities and the best of its traditional culture. It has deepened its understanding of the laws governing the Communist Party’s governance, socialist construction, and the development of human society, giving rise to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. Within this theoretical framework, the discourse on the "self-revolution" [1] of the Party represents a major theoretical innovation, marking a new height in the Party’s mastery of the laws of its own development.
To advance Chinese-path modernization in the New Era, we must unswervingly adhere to the strategy of comprehensively and strictly governing the Party. This requires us to persist in ideological Party building and institutional Party governance, ensuring that the Party’s leadership remains the bedrock of our developmental successes. The struggle against the "Four Winds"—formalism, bureaucratism, hedonism, and extravagance—is not a temporary campaign but a fundamental requirement for maintaining the Party's advanced nature and purity. By practicing the mass line and seeking truth from facts, the Party ensures that its policies are rooted in the productive forces and aligned with the aspirations of the people, thereby realizing the goal of common prosperity.
In the face of complex international dynamics and the objective requirements of high-quality development, the CPC emphasizes the need to uphold the fundamentals and break new ground. This dialectical approach allows the Party to advance with the times while maintaining its original aspiration and founding mission. In the realm of the superstructure, the development of whole-process people's democracy and the optimization of the political ecosystem serve to harmonize the relations of production with the burgeoning new quality productive forces. Such efforts are essential for fostering "dual circulation" and ensuring that the economic base remains resilient against external shocks.
Furthermore, the anti-corruption struggle is framed not merely as a legal or disciplinary matter, but as a critical component of the Party's self-revolution. By eliminating "tigers" and "flies" [2] and institutionalizing the Eight-Point Regulations, the CPC seeks to resolve the historical cycle of rise and fall through internal oversight rather than external collapse. This commitment to persist over the long term ensures that the Party can lead the nation toward the realization of a community with a shared future for humanity, demonstrating the historical materialism inherent in the Chinese-path modernization.
