Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era

In the early days of reform and opening up, the Party made a clarion call for us to take a path of our own and build socialism with Chinese characteristics. Since that time, the Party has united and led all the Chinese people in a tireless struggle, propelling China into a leading position in terms of economic and technological strength, defense capabilities, and composite national strength. China’s international standing has risen as never before. Our Party, our country, our people, our armed forces, and our nation have changed in ways without precedent. The Chinese nation, with an entirely new posture, now stands tall and firm in the East.

With decades of hard work, socialism with Chinese characteristics has crossed the threshold into a new era. This is a new historic juncture in China’s development.

This is what socialism with Chinese characteristics entering a new era means: The Chinese nation, which since modern times began had endured so much for so long, has achieved a tremendous transformation: It has stood up, grown rich, and is becoming strong; it has come to embrace the brilliant prospects of rejuvenation. It means that scientific socialism is full of vitality in 21st-century China, and that the banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics is now flying high and proud for all to see. It means that the path, the theory, the system, and the culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics have kept developing, blazing a new trail for developing countries to achieve modernization. It also offers a new option for other countries and nations who want to speed up their development while preserving their independence; and it offers Chinese wisdom and a Chinese approach to solving the problems facing mankind.

This new era will be an era of building on past successes to further advance our cause, and of continuing in a new historical context to strive for the success of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It will be an era of securing a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and of moving on to all-out efforts to build a great modern socialist country. It will be an era for the Chinese people of all ethnic groups to work together and work hard to create a better life for themselves and ultimately achieve common prosperity for everyone. It will be an era for all of us, the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, to strive with one heart to realize the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation. It will be an era that sees China moving closer to center stage and making greater contributions to mankind.

Chinese socialism’s entrance into a new era is, in the history of the development of the People’s Republic of China and the history of the development of the Chinese nation, of tremendous importance. In the history of the development of international socialism and the history of the development of human society, it is of tremendous importance.

With the arrival of the new era there are new expectations. It is essential to adjust our development strategy and policies in response to new realities.

中國(guó)特色社會(huì)主義進(jìn)入新時(shí)代

改革開(kāi)放之初，中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨發(fā)出了走自己的路、建設(shè)中國(guó)特色社會(huì)主義的偉大號(hào)召,從那時(shí)起，中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨團(tuán)結(jié)帶領(lǐng)全國(guó)各族人民不懈奮斗，推動(dòng)中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)力、科技實(shí)力、國(guó)防實(shí)力、綜合國(guó)力進(jìn)入世界前列，推動(dòng)中國(guó)國(guó)際地位實(shí)現(xiàn)前所未有的提升，中國(guó)共產(chǎn)黨的面貌、中國(guó)的面貌、中國(guó)人民的面貌、中國(guó)軍隊(duì)的面貌、中華民族的面貌發(fā)生了前所未有的變化，中華民族正以嶄新姿態(tài)屹立于世界東方。

經(jīng)過(guò)長(zhǎng)期努力，中國(guó)特色社會(huì)主義進(jìn)入了新時(shí)代，這是中國(guó)發(fā)展新的歷史方位。作出這個(gè)重大政治判斷，是一項(xiàng)關(guān)系全局的戰(zhàn)略考量。中國(guó)特色社會(huì)主義進(jìn)入新時(shí)代，意味著近代以來(lái)久經(jīng)磨難的中華民族迎來(lái)了從站起來(lái)、富起來(lái)到強(qiáng)起來(lái)的偉大飛躍，迎來(lái)了實(shí)現(xiàn)中華民族偉大復(fù)興的光明前景；意味著科學(xué)社會(huì)主義在21世紀(jì)的中國(guó)煥發(fā)出強(qiáng)大生機(jī)活力，在世界上高高舉起了中國(guó)特色社會(huì)主義偉大旗幟；意味著中國(guó)特色社會(huì)主義道路、理論、制度、文化不斷發(fā)展，拓展了發(fā)展中國(guó)家走向現(xiàn)代化的途徑，給世界上那些既希望加快發(fā)展又希望保持自身獨(dú)立性的國(guó)家和民族提供了全新選擇模式，為解決人類問(wèn)題貢獻(xiàn)了中國(guó)智慧和中國(guó)方案。

這個(gè)新時(shí)代，是承前啟后、繼往開(kāi)來(lái)、在新的歷史條件下繼續(xù)奪取中國(guó)特色社會(huì)主義偉大勝利的時(shí)代，是決勝全面建成小康社會(huì)、進(jìn)而全面建設(shè)社會(huì)主義現(xiàn)代化強(qiáng)國(guó)的時(shí)代，是全國(guó)各族人民團(tuán)結(jié)奮斗、不斷創(chuàng)造美好生活、逐步實(shí)現(xiàn)全體人民共同富裕的時(shí)代，是全體中華兒女戮力同心、奮力實(shí)現(xiàn)中華民族偉大復(fù)興中國(guó)夢(mèng)的時(shí)代，是我國(guó)日益走近世界舞臺(tái)中央、不斷為人類做出更大貢獻(xiàn)的時(shí)代。中國(guó)特色社會(huì)主義進(jìn)入新時(shí)代，在中華人民共和國(guó)發(fā)展史上、中華民族發(fā)展史上具有重大意義，在世界社會(huì)主義發(fā)展史上、人類社會(huì)發(fā)展史上也具有重大意義。

新時(shí)代要有新氣象，更要有新作為。必須按照新時(shí)代的要求，完善發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略和各項(xiàng)政策，推進(jìn)和落實(shí)各項(xiàng)工作。
