Constitution of the Communist Party of China

Total Outline

The Communist Party of China is the vanguard of the Chinese working class, the vanguard of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, and the core leadership of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. It represents the development requirements of China’s advanced productive forces, represents the direction of China’s advanced culture, and represents the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the Chinese people. The party's highest ideal and ultimate goal is to realize communism.

The Communist Party of China adopts Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory,“Three Represents”Important Thought, Scientific Outlook on Development, and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as one’s guide to action.

Marxism-Leninism reveals the laws of the historical development of human society. Its basic principles are correct and have strong vitality. The highest ideal of communism pursued by the Chinese Communists can only be realized on the basis of a fully developed and highly developed socialist society. The development and improvement of the socialist system is a long-term historical process. By adhering to the basic principles of Marxism-Leninism and following the path chosen voluntarily by the Chinese people that suits China's national conditions, China's socialist cause will surely achieve final victory.

The Chinese Communists, with Comrade Mao Zedong as the main representative, combined the basic principles of Marxism-Leninism with the specific practice of the Chinese revolution to create Mao Zedong Thought. Mao Zedong Thought is the application and development of Marxism-Leninism in China. It is a correct theoretical principle and experience summary of China's revolution and construction that has been proven by practice. It is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the Communist Party of China. Under the guidance of Mao Zedong Thought, the Communist Party of China led the people of all ethnic groups in the country and, after a long period of revolutionary struggle against imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic capitalism, won the victory of the New Democratic Revolution and established the People's Republic of China under the people's democratic dictatorship. After the founding of New China, it successfully carried out socialist transformation, completed the transition from new democracy to socialism, established the basic socialist system, and developed the socialist economy, politics, and culture.

Since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, the Chinese Communists, with Comrade Deng Xiaoping as the main representative, have summarized the positive and negative experiences since the founding of New China, emancipated the mind, sought truth from facts, shifted the center of the party's work to economic construction, implemented reform and opening up, opened up a new era of socialist development, gradually formed the line, principles, and policies for building socialism with Chinese characteristics, clarified the basic issues of building socialism, consolidating and developing socialism in China, and created Deng Xiaoping Theory. Deng Xiaoping Theory is the product of the combination of the basic principles of Marxism-Leninism with contemporary Chinese practice and the characteristics of the times. It is the inheritance and development of Mao Zedong Thought under new historical conditions. It is a new stage of the development of Marxism in China. It is the Marxism of contemporary China. It is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the Communist Party of China and guides the continuous advancement of my country's socialist modernization cause.

Since the Fourth Plenary Session of the Thirteenth Central Committee, the Chinese Communists, with Comrade Jiang Zemin as the main representative, have deepened their understanding of what socialism is, how to build socialism, what kind of party to build, and how to build the party in the practice of building socialism with Chinese characteristics. They have accumulated new valuable experience in governing the party and the country, and formed“Three Represents”Important ideas.“Three Represents”Important thinking is the inheritance and development of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, and Deng Xiaoping Theory. It reflects the new requirements of the development and changes of the contemporary world and China for the work of the party and the state. It is a powerful theoretical weapon to strengthen and improve party building and promote the self-improvement and development of socialism in our country. It is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the Communist Party of China and the guiding ideology that the party must adhere to for a long time. Always do it“Three Represents”, is the foundation of our party's founding, the foundation of governance, and the source of strength.

Since the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese Communists, with Comrade Hu Jintao as the main representative, have adhered to Deng Xiaoping Theory and“Three representatives”Guided by the important thinking of the CPC Central Committee and based on the new development requirements, we have profoundly understood and answered major questions such as what kind of development and how to develop under the new situation, and formed a scientific development concept that is people-oriented, comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable. The Scientific Outlook on Development is the same as Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory,“Three Represents”A scientific theory whose important ideas are both consistent and advancing with the times is a concentrated expression of the Marxist worldview and methodology on development, a major achievement of the Sinicization of Marxism, the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the Communist Party of China, and a guiding ideology that must be adhered to in the long term in the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese Communists, with Comrade Xi Jinping as the main representative, have adapted to the development of the times and systematically answered the major contemporary issue of what kind of socialism with Chinese characteristics and how to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era from a combination of theory and practice, and created Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is a reflection of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory,“Three Represents”The inheritance and development of the important thoughts and the Scientific Outlook on Development are the latest achievements of the Sinicization of Marxism. They are the crystallization of the practical experience and collective wisdom of the Party and the people. They are an important part of the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics. They are the action guide for the whole Party and the people of the whole country to strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. They must be persisted in for a long time and continuously developed. Under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the Communist Party of China leads the people of all ethnic groups in the country to coordinate great struggles, great projects, great causes, and great dreams, and promote socialism with Chinese characteristics into a new era.

The fundamental reasons for all the achievements and progress we have made since the reform and opening up can be summed up as follows: we opened up the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, formed the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, established the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, and developed the socialist culture with Chinese characteristics. All comrades in the Party must cherish, long-term, and continuously develop this path, this theoretical system, this system, and this culture that the Party has pioneered through hard work, hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, strengthen confidence in the road, theory, system, and culture, implement the Party's basic theory, basic line, and basic strategy, and achieve the three major historical tasks of advancing modernization, completing the reunification of the motherland, safeguarding world peace, and promoting common development“Two hundred years”Strive to achieve the goal and realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Our country is and will remain in the primary stage of socialism for a long time to come. This is an insurmountable historical stage in the construction of socialist modernization in China, which was originally economically and culturally backward, and will take hundreds of years. Our country's socialist construction must proceed from our country's national conditions and follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. At the present stage, the main contradiction in our society is the contradiction between the people's growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development. Due to domestic factors and international influences, class struggle still exists for a long time to a certain extent and may intensify under certain conditions, but it is no longer the principal contradiction. The fundamental task of our country's socialist construction is to further liberate and develop productive forces and gradually realize socialist modernization. To this end, we must reform the aspects and links of the production relations and superstructure that are not suitable for the development of productive forces. It is necessary to uphold and improve the basic economic system in which public ownership is the mainstay and multiple ownership economies develop together, and the distribution system in which distribution according to work is the mainstay and multiple distribution methods coexist. We must encourage some areas and some people to get rich first, gradually eliminate poverty, and achieve common prosperity. On the basis of production development and social wealth growth, we must continue to meet the people's growing needs for a better life and promote the all-round development of people. Development is the top priority of our party in governing and rejuvenating the country. We must adhere to the people-centered development thinking and the development concepts of innovation, coordination, green, openness and sharing. All work must be conducive to developing the productive forces of the socialist society, conducive to enhancing the comprehensive national strength of the socialist country, and conducive to improving the people's living standards as the general starting point and test standard. We must respect labor, respect knowledge, respect talents, and respect creation, so that development is for the people, development depends on the people, and the fruits of development are shared by the people. Entering the new century, our country has entered a new stage of development in building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and accelerating socialist modernization. must be based on the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics“Five in one”General layout and“Four Comprehensive”Strategic layout, coordinate the advancement of economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction, and ecological civilization construction, coordinate the advancement of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, comprehensively deepen reforms, comprehensively govern the country according to law, and comprehensively and strictly govern the party. In the new century and new era, the strategic goals for economic and social development are to build a moderately prosperous society in all respects by the centenary of the founding of the Party; and to build a modern and powerful socialist country in all respects by the centenary of the founding of New China.

The basic line of the Communist Party of China in the primary stage of socialism is to lead and unite the people of all ethnic groups in the country, focus on economic construction, adhere to the four basic principles, adhere to reform and opening up, be self-reliant, and work hard to build our country into a prosperous, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful modern socialist country.

In party building, we must resolutely achieve the following five basic requirements:

First, adhere to the party’s basic line. The whole party must apply Deng Xiaoping Theory,“Three Represents”The important thought, Scientific Outlook on Development, Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and the Party’s basic line unite our thoughts and actions, and we will stick to them unswervingly for a long time. We must unify reform and opening up with the four basic principles, fully implement the party's basic line, and oppose everything“Left”We must be wary of the wrong tendencies of the right and the right, but the main thing is to prevent them“Left”. Strengthen the construction of leadership groups at all levels, train and select good cadres needed by the party and the people, train and educate millions of successors to the socialist cause, and ensure the implementation of the party's basic theory, basic line, and basic strategy from an organizational perspective.

Second, persist in emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, advancing with the times, and seeking truth and pragmatism. The party's ideological line is to proceed from reality in everything, integrate theory with practice, seek truth from facts, and test and develop the truth in practice. The whole party must adhere to this ideological line, actively explore, boldly experiment, pioneer and innovate, work creatively, constantly study new situations, summarize new experiences, solve new problems, enrich and develop Marxism in practice, and promote the sinicization of Marxism.

Third, persist in serving the people wholeheartedly. Apart from the interests of the working class and the overwhelming majority of the people, the party has no special interests of its own. The party puts the interests of the people first at all times, shares weal and woe with the people, maintains the closest ties, insists that power is for the people, feelings are for the people, and the interests are for the people, and does not allow any party member to be divorced from the masses or to be above the masses. The greatest political advantage of our party is its close ties with the masses. The greatest danger after the party takes power is its separation from the masses. The issue of party style and the issue of the party's contact with the masses of the people are issues related to the life and death of the party. The party implements the mass line in its own work, doing everything for the people, relying on the people in everything, coming from the people, going to the people, and turning the party's correct ideas into the conscious actions of the people.

Fourth, adhere to democratic centralism. Democratic centralism is a combination of centralization on the basis of democracy and democracy under centralized guidance. It is not only the fundamental organizational principle of the party, but also the application of the mass line in the party's life. We must fully develop intra-party democracy, respect the dominant position of party members, protect the democratic rights of party members, and give full play to the enthusiasm and creativity of party organizations at all levels and the majority of party members. We must implement correct centralization, firmly establish political awareness, overall situation awareness, core awareness, and alignment awareness, firmly safeguard the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, ensure the unity and unity of the entire party and act in unison, and ensure that the party's decisions are implemented quickly and effectively. Strengthen and standardize intra-party political life, enhance the political, contemporary, principled and combative nature of intra-party political life, develop a positive and healthy intra-party political culture, and create a good political ecology that is clean and upright. The party correctly carries out criticism and self-criticism in its own political life, conducts ideological struggles on issues of principle, adheres to the truth, and corrects mistakes. Efforts should be made to create a political situation that has both centralism and democracy, both discipline and freedom, and a unified will while allowing individuals to feel comfortable and lively.

Fifth, adhere to strict party governance. Comprehensive and strict governance over the Party is always on the way. Under the new situation, the party faces the tests of governance, reform and opening up, market economy, and external environment that are long-term, complex, and severe. The dangers of mental slackness, lack of ability, separation from the masses, and passive corruption are more acutely placed before the whole party. Strict standards and measures must be implemented throughout the entire process and in all aspects of party management. We must adhere to governing the party in accordance with regulations, addressing both the symptoms and root causes, insisting on keeping discipline at the forefront, strengthening organizational discipline, and making everyone equal before the party's discipline. Strengthen the main responsibilities and supervisory responsibilities of party management, strengthen supervision of the party's leading organs and party members and leading cadres, especially the main leading cadres, and continuously improve the intra-party supervision system. We will further promote the construction of party style and clean government and the fight against corruption, punish corruption with a zero-tolerance attitude, and build an effective mechanism that dares not, cannot, and does not want to corrupt.

The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest advantage of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. Party, government, military and civilian science, east, west, north, south, central, the party leads everything. The party must adapt to the requirements of reform, opening up and socialist modernization, adhere to scientific governance, democratic governance, and law-based governance, and strengthen and improve the party's leadership. The party must follow the principle of overseeing the overall situation and coordinating all parties, and play the core role of leadership in various organizations at the same level. The party must concentrate on leading economic construction, organize and coordinate forces from all aspects, work together around economic construction, and promote all-round economic and social development. The party must implement democratic and scientific decision-making, formulate and implement correct lines, principles, and policies, do a good job in the party's organizational work and publicity and education work, and give full play to the vanguard and exemplary role of all party members. The party must operate within the scope of the Constitution and the law. The Party must ensure that the country's legislative, judicial, administrative and supervisory organs, economic and cultural organizations and people's organizations work proactively, independently, responsibly and in a coordinated manner. The party must strengthen its leadership over mass organizations such as w88 unions, the Communist Youth League, and women's federations, so that they can maintain and enhance their political, advanced, and mass nature and fully play their roles. The party must adapt to the development of the situation and changes in circumstances, improve the leadership system, improve leadership methods, and enhance the ability to govern. Communist Party members must work closely with the masses outside the Party and work together to build socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Chapter 2 The Party’s Organizational System

Upper- and lower-level organizations must exchange information, support and supervise each other. Party organizations at all levels must implement party affairs disclosure in accordance with regulations, so that party members can have a better understanding of and participate in intra-party affairs.

Party organizations in various departments and localities may make suggestions to the Central Committee, but they are not allowed to make decisions or express opinions to the outside world without authorization.
