Socialism with Chinese characteristics's road is rich in connotation, which reveals a series of important issues such as Socialism with Chinese characteristics's leading position, realistic foundation, fundamental approach, main tasks and fundamental goals. It mainly includes the following four aspects.
One is the "two important premises", that is, adhering to the leadership of the * * * production party in China and basing on the basic national conditions. The production party in China is the fundamental guarantee for realizing socialist modernization and building Socialism with Chinese characteristics. As early as May 1957, Mao Zedong said: "The China * * * Production Party is the core of the leadership of the China people. Without such a core, the socialist cause cannot be won. " At the beginning of the reform and opening up, Deng Xiaoping also emphasized: "China is led by the * * * production party, and China's socialist modernization is led by the * * * production party. This principle cannot be shaken; If China wavers, it will regress to division and chaos, and it will be impossible to achieve modernization. " 1998 flood fighting, SARS fighting in 2003 and earthquake relief in 2008 all fully demonstrated the leadership level and ruling ability of China * * * production party. Only by upholding the leadership of the Party can we ensure the correct direction of reform, opening up and modernization, consolidate the political situation of stability and unity, and smoothly advance the great cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Second, "a basic line" is to take economic construction as the center, adhere to the four cardinal principles, and persist in reform and opening up. This basic line embodies the fundamental interests and common will of the people of all ethnic groups in China and reflects the essential law of China's socialist modernization, so it is the lifeline of the party and the country. Among them, taking economic construction as the center is the stipulation for the central work of the party and the state, adhering to the Four Cardinal Principles is the institutional arrangement of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and adhering to reform and opening up is the direct driving force of Socialism with Chinese characteristics. The three are interdependent and unified in the practice of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and they can't be shaken at any time. This is the fundamental guarantee for Socialism with Chinese characteristics to stand the risk test and achieve its goal smoothly.
Third, the "two fundamental tasks" are to liberate and develop social productive forces and consolidate and improve the socialist system. Classical Marxist writers regard "great growth and high development of productive forces" as "absolutely necessary practical premise" for establishing a new society. Deng Xiaoping emphasized many times that developing social productive forces is the fundamental task of socialism. The reason why China wants to carry out reform and opening up is also to overcome the institutional obstacles to the development of productive forces, adjust certain aspects and links in production relations and superstructure that are incompatible with the development of productive forces, and consolidate and improve the socialist system. As the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China declared to the world: "Reform and opening up is a new great revolution under the leadership of the Party in the new era, with the aim of liberating and developing social productive forces, realizing national modernization, making the people of China rich and reviving the great Chinese nation; Is to promote the self-improvement and development of China's socialist system, give new vitality to socialism, and build and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics ".
Fourth, the "overall layout" refers to the "four in one" overall layout of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's economic construction, political construction, cultural construction and social construction. Socialism is a society with coordinated development of economy, politics, culture and society and all-round progress. The proposal of building a harmonious socialist society has expanded the overall layout of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's cause from the trinity of economic construction, political construction and cultural construction to the quaternity including social construction. Standing at a new historical starting point, the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has made comprehensive arrangements for China's economic, political, cultural and social construction in the new century and new stage. In economic construction, the most important thing is to develop the socialist market economy, adhere to the basic economic system with public ownership as the main body and multiple ownership economies developing together, and adhere to the distribution system with distribution according to work as the main body and multiple modes of distribution coexisting. In political construction, the most important thing is to adhere to the organic unity of party leadership, people being masters of the country and governing the country according to law, and to the system of people's congresses, multi-party cooperation and political consultation led by the Communist Party of China (CPC), regional ethnic autonomy and grass-roots mass autonomy. In terms of cultural construction, the most important thing is to grasp the direction of advanced socialist culture, build a socialist core value system, focus on public welfare cultural undertakings on the one hand and commercial cultural industries on the other, and strive to protect people's basic cultural rights and interests, make social and cultural life more colorful, and make people's mental outlook more high-spirited. In terms of social construction, the most important thing is to improve people's livelihood, promote social fairness and justice, and strive to make all people learn to teach, work hard, get medical care, provide for the elderly and live in a place. Whether it is economic construction, political construction, cultural construction or social construction, it is to achieve the grand goal of building a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized and harmonious socialist modern country.
The above four aspects are interrelated, organically combined and isomorphic to form the complete content of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road. These four aspects are a scientific summary of the great practice of socialist revolution, construction and reform of our party and country in the 60 years since the founding of New China, especially in the 30 years of reform and opening up.
The distinctive characteristics of Socialism with Chinese characteristics road
The 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out: "The reason why Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road is completely correct and can lead the development and progress of China lies in that we not only adhere to the basic principles of scientific socialism, but also endow China with distinctive China characteristics according to its reality and characteristics of the times." This important conclusion reveals the essential attribute of Socialism with Chinese characteristics road.
First of all, Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road adheres to the basic principles of scientific socialism. Deng Xiaoping said, we didn't lose our ancestors in the reform and opening up, and we can't lose our ancestors. From the ideological origin, Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road is the inheritance and innovation of Marxism, especially scientific socialism, and the creative application and development of the basic principles of scientific socialism in China. This road adheres to the highest ideal and value pursuit of * * socialism, with the working-class political party as the core of leadership, the people creating the dominant position in history, the fundamental task of liberating and developing social productive forces, the goal of * * * common prosperity, public ownership and distribution according to work as the socialist economic foundation, socialist democratic politics as the essential feature, and the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field. These aspects embody the essence and essence of scientific socialism. At the same time, starting from the reality of China, this road explores and innovates scientific socialism from the aspects of system, system and practice. For example, we should adhere to the basic economic system with public ownership as the main body and various forms of ownership developing together, the distribution system with distribution according to work as the main body and multiple modes of distribution coexisting, establish and improve the socialist market economic system, adhere to the people's democratic dictatorship and the people's congress system, develop advanced socialist culture popularized by national science, and build a socialist harmonious society, and so on. This shows that Socialism with Chinese characteristics's road is in the same strain as scientific socialism, and keeps pace with the times, so that socialism has gained vigorous vitality in China.
Secondly, Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road has distinct characteristics of the times. Since the late 1970s, peace and development have become the theme of the times. In the face of major changes in the international situation, our Party observes the world with a broad vision, examines the times with scientific thinking, keenly grasps the theme of the times and people's wishes, and makes a major decision to implement reform and opening up on the basis of summing up positive and negative experiences and lessons, thus opening up the road to Socialism with Chinese characteristics. In the past 30 years, China has achieved rapid economic and social development in the process of reform and opening up. Socialist China stands tall in the east of the world, and the Chinese nation has made great strides to catch up with the trend of the times. It can be said that Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road is closely linked with world peace and development and the progress of human civilization, which conforms to the general trend of the world and embodies the requirements of the times.
Third, Socialism with Chinese characteristics road has distinctive national characteristics. The national form of socialism is the concrete expression of the essential connotation of socialism, and the superiority and vitality of socialism can only be fully exerted through appropriate and effective national forms. Because China is in the primary stage of socialism and will be in it for a long time, with a large population, little arable land and unbalanced development, this basic national condition determines that the socialism we want to build must have distinctive China characteristics. Contract production, township enterprises, special economic zones, "one country, two systems", new industrialization road with China characteristics, agricultural modernization road with China characteristics, urbanization road with China characteristics and independent innovation road with China characteristics all have obvious China style and China style. It is precisely because Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road is deeply rooted in China that it has won the support and support of the overwhelming majority of people in China.
