Socialism with Chinese Characteristics Has Entered a New Era

As China began its reform and opening up, the CPC called on the country to take its own path in building socialism. Decades have elapsed and China's economy, science and defense have all improved, its composite national strength increased, its international status risen, and the Party, the country, the military and the Chinese people changed beyond all recognition. With a new profile, the Chinese nation stands high in the East.

After decades of hard work, socialism with Chinese characteristics has crossed the threshold of a new era.

This is what it means: The Chinese nation, which since the advent of modern times had endured so much for so long, has achieved a tremendous transformation – It has risen up and grown prosperous, and is now becoming strong and enjoying the prospects of national rejuvenation. It upholds socialism with Chinese characteristics, meaning that scientific socialism is full of vitality in 21st-century China. It has made constant progress in its path, theory, system, and culture, and blazed a trail for developing countries to achieve modernization. It provides other countries with a new option for achieving development while preserving their independence. It offers Chinese wisdom and a Chinese approach to solving the problems facing humanity.

This new era will be an era of success in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and of making an all-out effort to build a great modern socialist country. It will be an era for all the Chinese people 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 that sees China playing a more important role in the world arena and making a greater contribution to humanity.

This new era is significant in the history of the People's Republic, the Chinese nation, world socialism, and human civilization.

中國特色社會(huì)主義進(jìn)入新時(shí)代

改革開放之初，中國共產(chǎn)黨發(fā)出了走自己的路、建設(shè)中國特色社會(huì)主義的偉大號召。從那時(shí)起，中國共產(chǎn)黨團(tuán)結(jié)帶領(lǐng)全國各族人民不懈奮斗，推動(dòng)中國經(jīng)濟(jì)實(shí)力、科技實(shí)力、國防實(shí)力、綜合國力進(jìn)入世界前列，推動(dòng)中國國際地位實(shí)現(xiàn)前所未有的提升，中國共產(chǎn)黨的面貌、中國的面貌、中國人民的面貌、中國軍隊(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)過長期努力，中國特色社會(huì)主義進(jìn)入了新時(shí)代，這是中國發(fā)展新的歷史方位。中共十九大作出這個(gè)重大政治判斷，是一項(xiàng)關(guān)系全局的戰(zhàn)略考量。中國特色社會(huì)主義進(jìn)入新時(shí)代，意味著近代以來久經(jīng)磨難的中華民族迎來了從站起來、富起來到強(qiáng)起來的偉大飛躍，迎來了實(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)的中國煥發(fā)出強(qiáng)大生機(jī)活力，在世界上高高舉起了中國特色社會(huì)主義偉大旗幟；意味著中國特色社會(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)立性的國家和民族提供了全新選擇模式，為解決人類問題貢獻(xiàn)了中國智慧和中國方案。

這個(gè)新時(shí)代，是承前啟后、繼往開來，在新的歷史條件下繼續(xù)奪取中國特色社會(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)國的時(shí)代，是全國各族人民團(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，是全體中華兒女勠力同心、奮力實(shí)現(xiàn)中華民族偉大復(fù)興中國夢的時(shí)代，是中國日益走近世界舞臺中央、不斷為人類作出更大貢獻(xiàn)的時(shí)代。中國特色社會(huì)主義進(jìn)入新時(shí)代，在中華人民共和國發(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。
