Page 8 - RESOLUTION OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA ON THE MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS AND HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE OF THE PARTY OVER THE PAST CENTURY

Party building, introduced the principle of focusing on strengthening the
Party in ideological terms, and upheld democratic centralism. It stuck to the

three fine styles of conduct, namely combining theory with practice,
maintaining close ties with the people, and conducting criticism and
self-criticism; it developed the three important tools of the united front,
armed struggle, and Party building, as it strived to build a national Marxist
party of the people, which was fully consolidated in ideological, political, and

organizational terms. The rectification movement—a Party-wide Marxist
ideological education movement—was launched in 1942 and yielded
tremendous results. The Party formulated the Resolution on Certain
Questions in the History of Our Party, which helped the entire Party reach a

common understanding of the basic questions regarding the Chinese
revolution. At the Seventh National Congress, the correct line, principles, and
policies were formulated for building a new-democratic China, and as a result
the Party became united as never before in ideological, political, and

organizational terms.
On October 1, 1949, the founding of the People’s Republic of China was

proclaimed after 28 years of bitter and courageous struggle carried out by the
people under the leadership of the Party and with the active support of other
political parties and democrats without party affiliation, thus realizing the
independence of the Chinese nation and the liberation of the Chinese people.
This put an end to China’s history as a semi-colonial, semi-feudal society, to

the rule of a handful of exploiters over the working people, to the state of total
disunity that plagued the old China, and to all the unequal treaties imposed
on our country by foreign powers and all the privileges that imperialist

powers enjoyed on our land, marking the country’s great transformation from
a millennia-old feudal autocracy to a people’s democracy. This also reshaped
the world political landscape and offered enormous inspiration for oppressed
nations and peoples struggling for liberation around the world.

It has been proven through practice that history and the people have
chosen the Communist Party of China, and that without its leadership, it
would not have been possible to realize national independence and the

people’s liberation. Through tenacious struggle, the Party and the people
showed the world that the Chinese people had stood up and the time in
which the Chinese nation could be bullied and abused was gone and would
never return. This marked the beginning of a new epoch in China’s

development.
