中共中央关于党的百年奋斗重大成就和历史经验的决议（双语全文）

（四）在全面深化改革开放上
4. Deepening reform and opening up

党的十一届三中全会以后，我国改革开放走过波澜壮阔的历程，取得举世瞩目的成就。随着实践发展，一些深层次体制机制问题和利益固化的藩篱日益显现，改革进入攻坚期和深水区。党中央深刻认识到，实践发展永无止境，解放思想永无止境，改革开放也永无止境，改革只有进行时、没有完成时，停顿和倒退没有出路，必须以更大的政治勇气和智慧推进全面深化改革，敢于啃硬骨头，敢于涉险滩，突出制度建设，注重改革关联性和耦合性，真枪真刀推进改革，有效破除各方面体制机制弊端。
After the third plenary session of the 11th Central Committee, China’s reform and opening up embarked on a remarkable course and scored achievements that captured the attention of the world. Nevertheless, as practice changed, certain deep-seated institutional problems and impediments from vested interests became increasingly evident. China’s reform thus entered a critical phase fraught with tough challenges.

The Central Committee is keenly aware that evolving in practice, freeing minds, and reform and opening up are processes without end. Reform is always ongoing and can never be completed, and halting or reversing course would get us nowhere. Therefore, it is imperative to deepen reform in all areas through greater political courage and wisdom, to be well prepared to tackle tough issues and brave risky areas, to make institutional development a priority, to increase interconnectivity and synergy between reforms in different sectors, and to clear a path forward for reform by cutting away institutional barriers on all sides.

党的十八届三中全会对经济体制、政治体制、文化体制、社会体制、生态文明体制、国防和军队改革和党的建设制度改革作出部署，确定全面深化改革的总目标、战略重点、优先顺序、主攻方向、工作机制、推进方式和时间表、路线图。党的十一届三中全会是划时代的，开启了改革开放和社会主义现代化建设新时期。党的十八届三中全会也是划时代的，实现改革由局部探索、破冰突围到系统集成、全面深化的转变，开创了我国改革开放新局面。
At its third plenary session, the 18th Central Committee made arrangements for reforms of economic, political, cultural, and social systems and those pertaining to ecological conservation, national defense and the armed forces, and Party building. It defined the overall objectives, key strategic targets, ranking of priorities, focal points, working mechanisms, methods of implementation, timetable, and roadmap for the endeavor of comprehensively deepening reform.

The third plenary session of the 11th Central Committee was an epoch-making event that ushered in the new period of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization. In the same way, the third plenary session of the 18th Central Committee was also of epoch-making significance. It enabled the transformation of reform from trials and breakthroughs limited to certain areas into an integrated drive being advanced across the board, and thus marked the beginning of a new stage in China’s reform and opening up.

党坚持改革正确方向，以促进社会公平正义、增进人民福祉为出发点和落脚点，突出问题导向，聚焦进一步解放思想、解放和发展社会生产力、解放和增强社会活力，加强顶层设计和整体谋划，增强改革的系统性、整体性、协同性，激发人民首创精神，推动重要领域和关键环节改革走实走深。党推动改革全面发力、多点突破、蹄疾步稳、纵深推进，从夯基垒台、立柱架梁到全面推进、积厚成势，再到系统集成、协同高效，各领域基础性制度框架基本确立，许多领域实现历史性变革、系统性重塑、整体性重构。
The Party has worked to ensure that reform stays on the right path, that it is inspired and guided by the objectives of promoting social fairness and justice and improving people’s wellbeing, that it follows a problem-oriented approach, and that it focuses on further freeing minds, unleashing and developing the productive forces, and unlocking and boosting social dynamism. The Party has strengthened top-level design and overall planning, pursued reform in a more systemic, holistic, and coordinated manner, stimulated people’s creativity, and deepened and consolidated reforms in key areas.

The Party has taken swift yet steady steps to promote and deepen reform in all areas, scoring multiple breakthroughs in the process. As we have gone from laying foundations and defining initial structures, to making overall progress and building momentum, to achieving systematic integration and efficient coordination, we have seen basic institutional frameworks put in place in various areas, and witnessed historic, systemic, and holistic transformation in multiple fields.

党中央深刻认识到，开放带来进步，封闭必然落后；我国发展要赢得优势、赢得主动、赢得未来，必须顺应经济全球化，依托我国超大规模市场优势，实行更加积极主动的开放战略。我国坚持共商共建共享，推动共建“一带一路”高质量发展，推进一大批关系沿线国家经济发展、民生改善的合作项目，建设和平之路、繁荣之路、开放之路、绿色之路、创新之路、文明之路，使共建“一带一路”成为当今世界深受欢迎的国际公共产品和国际合作平台。我国坚持对内对外开放相互促进、“引进来”和“走出去”更好结合，推动贸易和投资自由化便利化，构建面向全球的高标准自由贸易区网络，建设自由贸易试验区和海南自由贸易港，推动规则、规制、管理、标准等制度型开放，形成更大范围、更宽领域、更深层次对外开放格局，构建互利共赢、多元平衡、安全高效的开放型经济体系，不断增强我国国际经济合作和竞争新优势。
The Central Committee is keenly aware that opening the door brings progress, while closing it leaves one behind. For China’s development to gain the upper hand, seize the initiative, and have a good future, it is essential that we follow the tide of economic globalization, leverage the strengths of China’s massive market, and pursue a more proactive opening up strategy. Adhering to the principle of achieving shared growth through consultation and collaboration, China has promoted high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). We have advanced a large number of cooperation projects with significant implications for fueling economic development and improving people’s lives in countries along the BRI routes, and worked to build the BRI into an initiative of peace, prosperity, openness, green development, and innovation that brings different civilizations closer, and a widely welcomed public good and platform for international cooperation in today’s world.

While ensuring that its efforts to open up internally and externally reinforce each other and better integrating the “bringing in” and “going global” strategies, China has worked to promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, build a globally oriented network of high-standard free trade zones, including pilot free trade zones and the Hainan Free Trade Port, and expand opening up on the institutional level in terms of rules, regulations, management, and standards. Through these efforts, we are advancing opening up on a larger scale, across more areas, and in greater depth, and establishing an open economy that is diverse, balanced, secure, and efficient and brings benefit to all. In this way, China is consistently building new and greater strengths in international economic cooperation and competition.

党的十八大以来，党不断推动全面深化改革向广度和深度进军，中国特色社会主义制度更加成熟更加定型，国家治理体系和治理能力现代化水平不断提高，党和国家事业焕发出新的生机活力。
Since its 18th National Congress, the Party has consistently promoted broader and deeper reform across the board. The system of socialism with Chinese characteristics is now more mature and well-defined, and the modernization of China’s system and capacity for governance has reached a higher level. The cause of the Party and the country now radiates with fresh vitality.

（五）在政治建设上
5. Advancing political work

改革开放以后，党领导人民坚持中国特色社会主义政治发展道路，发展社会主义民主，取得重大进展。党从国内外政治发展成败得失中深刻认识到，坚定中国特色社会主义制度自信首先要坚定对中国特色社会主义政治制度的自信，建设社会主义民主政治，发展社会主义政治文明，必须使中国特色社会主义政治制度深深扎根于中国社会土壤，照抄照搬他国政治制度行不通，甚至会把国家前途命运葬送掉。必须坚持党的领导、人民当家作主、依法治国有机统一，积极发展全过程人民民主，健全全面、广泛、有机衔接的人民当家作主制度体系，构建多样、畅通、有序的民主渠道，丰富民主形式，从各层次各领域扩大人民有序政治参与，使各方面制度和国家治理更好体现人民意志、保障人民权益、激发人民创造。必须警惕和防范西方所谓“宪政”、多党轮流执政、“三权鼎立”等政治思潮的侵蚀影响。
Since the launch of reform and opening up, the Party has led the people in keeping to the path of socialist political advancement with Chinese characteristics and developing socialist democracy, and has achieved substantial progress in this regard. Learning lessons from successes and failures in political development both at home and abroad, the Party has become deeply aware of the following: to have full confidence in the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, we must first and foremost foster strong confidence in the political system of socialism with Chinese characteristics; to promote socialist democracy and socialist political advancement, we must ensure that the political system of socialism with Chinese characteristics is deeply rooted in China; and mechanical copying of the political systems of other countries will get us nowhere, and could potentially lead our country to ruin.

We must uphold the unity between the Party’s leadership, the running of the country by the people, and law-based governance. Efforts must be made to actively develop whole-process people’s democracy, and advance comprehensive, extensive, and coordinated development of the systems and institutions through which the people run the country. We must establish diverse, unimpeded, and well-organized democratic channels, diversify forms of democracy, and expand the people’s orderly political participation at all levels and in various fields, so as to ensure that China’s governance and institutions in all sectors give full expression to the will of the people, protect their rights and interests, and spark their creativity. We must remain on guard against the erosive influence of Western trends of political thought, including the so-called constitutionalism, alternation of power between political parties, and separation of powers.

党的十九届四中全会着眼于党长期执政和国家长治久安，对坚持和完善中国特色社会主义制度、推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化作出总体擘画，重点部署坚持和完善支撑中国特色社会主义制度的根本制度、基本制度、重要制度。党中央强调，必须坚持人民主体地位，保证人民依法实行民主选举、民主协商、民主决策、民主管理、民主监督。党坚持和完善人民代表大会制度，支持和保证人民通过人民代表大会行使国家权力，支持和保证人大依法行使立法权、监督权、决定权、任免权，果断查处拉票贿选案，维护人民代表大会制度权威和尊严，发挥人民代表大会制度的根本政治制度作用。党坚持和完善中国共产党领导的多党合作和政治协商制度，完善民主党派中央对重大决策部署贯彻落实情况实施专项监督、直接向中共中央提出建议等制度，加强人民政协专门协商机构制度建设，推进社会主义协商民主广泛多层制度化发展，形成中国特色协商民主体系。党坚持巩固基层政权，完善基层民主制度，完善办事公开制度，保障人民知情权、参与权、表达权、监督权。按照坚持党的全面领导、坚持以人民为中心、坚持优化协同高效、坚持全面依法治国的原则，全面深化党和国家机构改革，党和国家机构职能实现系统性、整体性重构。党坚持和完善民族区域自治制度，坚定不移走中国特色解决民族问题的正确道路，坚持把铸牢中华民族共同体意识作为党的民族工作主线，确立新时代党的治藏方略、治疆方略，巩固和发展平等团结互助和谐的社会主义民族关系，促进各民族共同团结奋斗、共同繁荣发展。党坚持党的宗教工作基本方针，坚持我国宗教的中国化方向，积极引导宗教与社会主义社会相适应。党完善大统战工作格局，努力寻求最大公约数、画出最大同心圆，汇聚实现中华民族伟大复兴的磅礴力量。党围绕增强政治性、先进性、群众性，推动群团工作改革创新，更好发挥工会、共青团、妇联等人民团体和群众组织作用。我们以保障人民生存权、发展权为首要推进人权事业全面发展。
With a view to maintaining the long-term governance of the Party and the long-term stability of the country, the 19th Central Committee at its fourth plenary session outlined an overall plan for upholding and improving the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and modernizing China’s system and capacity for governance, and also laid out major plans for upholding and improving the fundamental, basic, and important systems that underpin socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The Central Committee has stressed the importance of upholding the principal position of the people and ensuring their law-based participation in democratic elections, consultations, decision-making, management, and oversight.

The Party has worked to uphold and improve the system of people’s congresses. We have supported and safeguarded the right of the people to exercise state power through people’s congresses, supported people’s congresses in exercising their statutory powers of enacting laws, conducting oversight, making decisions, and appointing and removing officials, and conducted decisive investigations of vote rigging and election bribery cases. Through these efforts, we have upheld the authority and dignity of the system of people’s congresses, and given full play to its role as China’s fundamental political system.

The Party has worked to uphold and improve the system of CPC-led multiparty cooperation and political consultation, and to improve systems through which the central committees of other political parties conduct special oversight over the implementation of major decisions and plans and make suggestions directly to the CPC Central Committee. We have stepped up institutional development in promoting the CPPCC’s role as a specialized consultative body, advanced extensive, multilevel, and institutionalized development of socialist consultative democracy, and put in place a system of consultative democracy with Chinese characteristics.

The Party has worked to consolidate government and improve democracy at the primary level, and to increase transparency in administration in order to protect the people’s rights to be informed, to participate, to be heard, and to exercise oversight.

We have further reformed Party and government institutions to achieve thorough and systematic restructuring of their functions. In this process, we have followed the principles of upholding the Party’s overall leadership, committing to a people-centered approach, promoting greater optimization, coordination, and efficiency, and ensuring law-based governance in all dimensions.

The Party has worked to uphold and improve the system of regional ethnic autonomy, followed a correct and uniquely Chinese path to dealing with ethnic affairs, and made fostering a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation the main task in its work related to ethnic affairs. The Party has established policies for the governance of Tibet and Xinjiang in the new era, consolidated and developed socialist ethnic relations characterized by equality, solidarity, mutual assistance, and harmony, and pushed for all ethnic groups to work together in pursuit of common development and prosperity.

In line with the Party’s basic policy on religious affairs, we have upheld the principle that religions in China must be Chinese in orientation, and provided active guidance for the adaptation of religions to socialist society.

The Party has worked to build a broad united front with the goal of expanding common ground and the convergence of interests and creating a mighty force to drive our push toward national rejuvenation.

The Party has promoted reform and innovation within trade unions, Chinese Communist Youth League organizations, women’s federations, and other people’s organizations with the objectives of strengthening their political consciousness, their advanced nature, and their ability to represent the people, so that these organizations can play their role more effectively.

We have worked to promote human rights in all areas, with top priority given to safeguarding the people’s rights to subsistence and development.

党的十八大以来，我国社会主义民主政治制度化、规范化、程序化全面推进，中国特色社会主义政治制度优越性得到更好发挥，生动活泼、安定团结的政治局面得到巩固和发展。
Since the 18th National Congress, we have made sweeping progress in improving the institutions, standards, and procedures of China’s socialist democracy, and given better play to the strengths of the Chinese socialist political system. As a result, our political stability, unity, and dynamism have been reinforced and grown stronger.

（六）在全面依法治国上
6. Comprehensively advancing law-based governance

改革开放以后，党坚持依法治国，不断推进社会主义法治建设。同时，有法不依、执法不严、司法不公、违法不究等问题严重存在，司法腐败时有发生，一些执法司法人员徇私枉法，甚至充当犯罪分子的保护伞，严重损害法治权威，严重影响社会公平正义。党深刻认识到，权力是一把“双刃剑”，依法依规行使可以造福人民，违法违规行使必然祸害国家和人民。党中央强调，法治兴则国家兴，法治衰则国家乱；全面依法治国是中国特色社会主义的本质要求和重要保障，是国家治理的一场深刻革命；坚持依法治国首先要坚持依宪治国，坚持依法执政首先要坚持依宪执政。必须坚持中国特色社会主义法治道路，贯彻中国特色社会主义法治理论，坚持依法治国、依法执政、依法行政共同推进，坚持法治国家、法治政府、法治社会一体建设，全面增强全社会尊法学法守法用法意识和能力。
Since the launch of reform and opening up, the Party has upheld law-based governance and kept advancing socialist rule of law. However, we have also faced serious problems such as laws being ignored or not being strictly enforced, lack of judicial impartiality, and violations of the law going unpunished, while judicial corruption occurring from time to time. Some judicial and law-enforcement personnel have bent the law for personal gain, or even provided shelter for criminals. These phenomena have seriously undermined the authority of the law, and had a negative impact on social fairness and justice.

The Party is deeply aware that power is a double-edged sword. If it is wielded in accordance with the law and rules, it can bring benefit to the people, but if it is abused, it will invariably bring disaster to the country and the people.

The Central Committee has stressed that when the rule of law prevails, the country will prosper, but should it weaken, the country will descend into chaos. Comprehensively advancing law-based governance is an essential requirement and important guarantee for socialism with Chinese characteristics; it is also a profound revolution in China’s governance. Law-based governance and law-based exercise of state power begin with compliance with the Constitution. We must remain committed to the path of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics; implement Chinese socialist rule of law theory; pursue coordinated progress in law-based governance, law-based exercise of state power, and law-based government administration; promote integrated development of the country, the government, and society based on the rule of law; and comprehensively enhance people’s awareness of the need to respect, study, and abide by the law and their ability to apply the law.

党的十八届四中全会和中央全面依法治国工作会议专题研究全面依法治国问题，就科学立法、严格执法、公正司法、全民守法作出顶层设计和重大部署，统筹推进法律规范体系、法治实施体系、法治监督体系、法治保障体系和党内法规体系建设。
At the fourth plenary session of the 18th Central Committee and the central conference on the rule of law, dedicated efforts were made to analyze the issue of advancing law-based governance in all respects. Top-level designs and major plans were put forward on ensuring sound legislation, strict law enforcement, impartial administration of justice, and observance of law by all. Coordinated progress was made in advancing the development of the system of laws and regulations, the system for enforcing the rule of law, the system for overseeing the rule of law, the system for guaranteeing the rule of law, and the system of Party rules and regulations.

党强调，全面依法治国最广泛、最深厚的基础是人民，必须把体现人民利益、反映人民愿望、维护人民权益、增进人民福祉落实到全面依法治国各领域全过程，保障和促进社会公平正义，努力让人民群众在每一项法律制度、每一个执法决定、每一宗司法案件中都感受到公平正义。党领导健全保证宪法全面实施的体制机制，确立宪法宣誓制度，弘扬社会主义法治精神，提高国家机构依法履职能力，提高各级领导干部运用法治思维和法治方式解决问题、推动发展的能力，增强全社会法治意识。通过宪法修正案，制定民法典、外商投资法、国家安全法、监察法等法律，修改立法法、国防法、环境保护法等法律，加强重点领域、新兴领域、涉外领域立法，加快完善以宪法为核心的中国特色社会主义法律体系。党领导深化以司法责任制为重点的司法体制改革，推进政法领域全面深化改革，加强对执法司法活动的监督制约，开展政法队伍教育整顿，依法纠正冤错案件，严厉惩治执法司法腐败，确保执法司法公正廉洁高效权威。
The Party has emphasized that since the people make up the broadest and deepest foundation for comprehensively advancing law-based governance, we must ensure that their interests and wishes are reflected, their rights are protected, and their wellbeing is enhanced in every aspect throughout the entire process of law-based governance. We must protect and promote social fairness and justice, and work to ensure that the people feel fairness and justice prevails in every law, every law enforcement decision, and every judicial case.

The Party has led efforts to improve systems and mechanisms for ensuring full enforcement of the Constitution. We have established the system of pledging allegiance to the Constitution, and promoted the spirit of socialist rule of law. We have enhanced the ability of state institutions to perform their duties in accordance with the law, boosted the ability of officials at all levels to think and act under the guidance of the rule of law as they work to solve problems and promote development, and raised awareness about the rule of law throughout society.

Amendments to the Constitution have been adopted; laws including the Civil Code, the Foreign Investment Law, the National Security Law, and the Supervision Law have been formulated; revisions have been made to the Legislation Law, the National Defense Law, and the Environmental Protection Law; and legislation has been stepped up in key, emerging, and foreign-related fields. All these efforts have accelerated the improvement of the socialist system of laws with Chinese characteristics, at the heart of which is the Constitution.

The Party has led efforts to deepen reform of the judicial system, with the focus on enforcement of judicial accountability, and to advance all-around reform in the judicial, procuratorial, and public security domains. Checks and oversight on law enforcement and judicial activities have been strengthened; action has been taken to educate and consolidate judicial, procuratorial, and public security personnel; unjust and erroneous rulings have been redressed in accordance with the law; and vigorous measures have been taken to punish corruption in law enforcement and judicial work. All these efforts have contributed to ensuring the justice, integrity, efficiency, and authority of law enforcement and judicial work.

党的十八大以来，中国特色社会主义法治体系不断健全，法治中国建设迈出坚实步伐，法治固根本、稳预期、利长远的保障作用进一步发挥，党运用法治方式领导和治理国家的能力显著增强。
Since the 18th National Congress, the system of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics has constantly been improved, solid progress has been made in advancing the rule of law in China, the rule of law has played a greater role in consolidating foundations, ensuring stable expectations, and delivering long-term benefits, and the Party’s ability to lead and govern the country through law-based methods has been notably enhanced.

（七）在文化建设上
7. Driving cultural advancement

改革开放以后，党坚持物质文明和精神文明两手抓、两手硬，推动社会主义文化繁荣发展，振奋了民族精神，凝聚了民族力量。同时，拜金主义、享乐主义、极端个人主义和历史虚无主义等错误思潮不时出现，网络舆论乱象丛生，一些领导干部政治立场模糊、缺乏斗争精神，严重影响人们思想和社会舆论环境。党准确把握世界范围内思想文化相互激荡、我国社会思想观念深刻变化的趋势，强调意识形态工作是为国家立心、为民族立魂的工作，文化自信是更基础、更广泛、更深厚的自信，是一个国家、一个民族发展中最基本、最深沉、最持久的力量，没有高度文化自信、没有文化繁荣兴盛就没有中华民族伟大复兴。必须坚持以人民为中心的工作导向，举旗帜、聚民心、育新人、兴文化、展形象，牢牢掌握意识形态工作领导权，建设具有强大凝聚力和引领力的社会主义意识形态，建设社会主义文化强国，激发全民族文化创新创造活力，更好构筑中国精神、中国价值、中国力量，巩固全党全国各族人民团结奋斗的共同思想基础。
Since the launch of reform and opening up, the Party has attached equal emphasis to material progress and cultural-ethical progress. As a result, socialist culture has thrived, the national spirit has been lifted, and national solidarity has grown stronger. At the same time, however, misguided ideas have often cropped up, such as money worship, hedonism, ultra-individualism, and historical nihilism, online discourse has been rife with disorder, and certain leading officials have demonstrated ambiguity in their political stance and a lack of fighting spirit. These phenomena all have a serious impact on people’s thinking and the environment for public discourse.

The Party has maintained an accurate perspective on the trends of collisions taking place worldwide between different ideas and cultures, as well as of the profound changes in Chinese people’s ways of thinking. It has stressed that ideological work shapes the collective mind of a country and forges the soul of a nation, and that confidence in one’s culture, which is a broader, deeper, and more fundamental form of self-confidence, is the most essential, profound, and enduring source of strength for the development of a country and a nation. Without a thriving culture and firm confidence in it, the Chinese nation cannot achieve rejuvenation.

We must adhere to a people-centered approach in ideological work, uphold socialism with Chinese characteristics, rally public support, foster a new generation with sound values and ethics, develop Chinese culture, and build a better national image. We must have a firm hold on leadership in ideological work, develop socialist ideology that has the power to unite and inspire the people, and build China into a country with a strong socialist culture. We must ignite the cultural creativity of the whole nation, and bolster the Chinese spirit, Chinese values, and Chinese strength in order to consolidate the common ideological foundation for the concerted efforts of all Party members and all Chinese people.

党着力解决意识形态领域党的领导弱化问题，立破并举、激浊扬清，就意识形态领域许多方向性、战略性问题作出部署，确立和坚持马克思主义在意识形态领域指导地位的根本制度，健全意识形态工作责任制，推动全党动手抓宣传思想工作，守土有责、守土负责、守土尽责，敢抓敢管、敢于斗争，旗帜鲜明反对和抵制各种错误观点。党从正本清源入手加强宣传思想工作，召开全国宣传思想工作会议，分别召开文艺工作、党的新闻舆论工作、网络安全和信息化工作、哲学社会科学工作座谈会和全国高校思想政治工作会议，就一系列根本性问题阐明原则立场，廓清了理论是非，校正了工作导向，思想文化领域向上向好态势不断发展。推动用党的创新理论武装全党、教育人民、指导实践，深化马克思主义理论研究和建设，推进中国特色哲学社会科学学科体系、学术体系、话语体系建设。高度重视传播手段建设和创新，推动媒体融合发展，提高新闻舆论传播力、引导力、影响力、公信力。党中央明确提出，过不了互联网这一关就过不了长期执政这一关。党高度重视互联网这个意识形态斗争的主阵地、主战场、最前沿，健全互联网领导和管理体制，坚持依法管网治网，营造清朗的网络空间。
With a focus on addressing the issue of lax Party leadership in the ideological sphere, the Party has replaced faulty practices with effective ones in an effort to clear up muddy waters. It has made arrangements on a number of strategic issues of guiding significance in the ideological sphere, and established and upheld a fundamental system for ensuring the guiding role of Marxism in the ideological domain. By strengthening the responsibility system for ideological work, the Party has engaged all members in improving communication and outreach. Under this system, every Party member is charged to do their best to fulfill their duties, to be proactive in their work, and to take a clear stand against erroneous views.

In intensifying its efforts to improve communication and outreach, the Party has started with the most fundamental issues. It convened a national conference on communication and outreach, as well as forums on literature and art, the Party’s press and public communications work, cybersecurity and IT application, philosophy and social sciences, and ideological and political work at institutions of higher learning. Through these events, it has clarified its principles and stance on a number of fundamental issues, distinguished right from wrong regarding theories, and kept its work on the right track. As a result, a healthy trend is gathering steam in the sphere of ideology and culture.

The Party endeavors to use its new theories to equip its members, educate the people, and guide practice. It has worked harder to study and develop Marxist theory, and made advances in constructing disciplinary, academic, and discourse systems for philosophy and social sciences with Chinese features.

The Party puts heavy emphasis on developing and creating new means of communication. It has promoted integrated development of media, and worked to strengthen the penetration and credibility of the media and its ability to guide and influence. The Central Committee has made it clear that failure in the cyberspace domain will spell disaster for the Party’s long-term governance. The Party therefore attaches great importance to the Internet as the main arena, battleground, and frontline of the ideological struggle. It has improved the leadership and management systems for the Internet, regulated the cyberspace according to the law, and strived to foster a clean online environment.

党坚持以社会主义核心价值观引领文化建设，注重用社会主义先进文化、革命文化、中华优秀传统文化培根铸魂，广泛开展中国特色社会主义和中国梦宣传教育，推动理想信念教育常态化制度化，完善思想政治工作体系，建立健全党和国家功勋荣誉表彰制度，设立烈士纪念日，深化群众性精神文明创建，建设新时代文明实践中心，推动学习大国建设。党推动学习党史、新中国史、改革开放史、社会主义发展史，建成中国共产党历史展览馆，开展庆祝中国共产党成立一百周年、中华人民共和国成立七十周年、中国人民解放军建军九十周年、改革开放四十周年和纪念中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利七十周年、中国人民志愿军抗美援朝出国作战七十周年等活动，有力彰显党心民心、国威军威，在全社会唱响了主旋律、弘扬了正能量。党坚持把社会效益放在首位、社会效益和经济效益相统一，推进文化事业和文化产业全面发展，繁荣文艺创作，完善公共文化服务体系，为人民提供了更多更好的精神食粮。
The Party has guided cultural development with the core socialist values, and paid close attention to nourishing the roots and forging the soul of our nation with advanced socialist culture, revolutionary culture, and China’s fine traditional culture. It has carried out extensive public awareness activities on socialism with Chinese characteristics and the Chinese Dream, promoted regular and institutionalized education on ideals and convictions, and improved the system of ideological and political work. We have established sound systems of Party and state awards and honors, instituted Martyrs’ Day, carried out initiatives to raise the public’s cultural-ethical standards, built centers for promoting cultural and ethical advancement in the new era, and nurtured a love of learning among our people.

The Party has encouraged the people to study the history of the Party, the People’s Republic of China, reform and opening up, and the development of socialism, and built the Museum of the Communist Party of China. It has also organized events to celebrate the centenary of the Party, the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic, the 90th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Liberation Army, and the 40th anniversary of the launch of reform and opening up; to commemorate the 70th anniversary of victory in the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the global war against fascism; and to mark the 70th anniversary of the Chinese People’s Volunteers’ departure for Korea to resist US aggression and aid Korea. These events vividly illustrated the solidarity of our Party and our people and the strength of our country and our military while championing China’s underlying values and spreading positive energy throughout society.

Putting social benefits first while also stressing economic returns, the Party has advanced all-around development of cultural programs and industries. Art and literature are flourishing, and public cultural services have improved, providing people with richer cultural nourishment.

党中央强调，中华优秀传统文化是中华民族的突出优势，是我们在世界文化激荡中站稳脚跟的根基，必须结合新的时代条件传承和弘扬好。我们实施中华优秀传统文化传承发展工程，推动中华优秀传统文化创造性转化、创新性发展，增强全社会文物保护意识，加大文化遗产保护力度。加快国际传播能力建设，向世界讲好中国故事、中国共产党故事，传播好中国声音，促进人类文明交流互鉴，国家文化软实力、中华文化影响力明显提升。
The Central Committee has stressed that China’s fine traditional culture is a prominent strength of our nation that enables us to gain a firm footing amidst global cultural interaction. We must adapt to new conditions so that we can carry on our traditional culture in the new era. For this purpose, we have launched projects to pass on and develop our fine cultural traditions, promoted their creative transformation and development, raised public awareness of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage, and stepped up preservation efforts.

We have accelerated work to strengthen our international communication capacity, with the goal of telling well China’s stories and the Party’s stories, making China’s voice heard, and promoting exchanges and mutual learning between civilizations. Our cultural soft power and the appeal of Chinese culture have increased significantly.

党的十八大以来，我国意识形态领域形势发生全局性、根本性转变，全党全国各族人民文化自信明显增强，全社会凝聚力和向心力极大提升，为新时代开创党和国家事业新局面提供了坚强思想保证和强大精神力量。
Since the 18th National Congress, we have seen a sweeping and fundamental shift in the ideological domain, a notable boost in confidence in our culture among all Party members and all Chinese people, and a major increase in cohesiveness throughout society. All of this has provided solid ideological guarantees and powerful inspiration for opening up new horizons for the cause of the Party and the country in the new era.
