Page 5 - Resolution of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on the Report of the 19th Central Committee

Congress marked three major events of great immediate importance and
profound historical significance for the cause of the Party and the people: We

embraced the centenary of the Communist Party of China; we ushered in a
new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics; and we eradicated absolute
poverty and finished building a moderately prosperous society in all respects,

thus completing the First Centenary Goal. These were historic feats—feats
accomplished by the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people
striving in unity, feats that will be forever recorded in the Chinese nation’s

history, and feats that will profoundly influence the world.
Over the past decade, we have fully implemented the Party’s basic theory,
basic line, and basic policy. We have adopted a number of strategic measures,

developed a range of transformative practices, and made a series of
breakthroughs and landmark advances. We have withstood risks, challenges,
and trials in the political, economic, ideological, and natural domains, secured

historic achievements and seen historic changes in the cause of the Party and
the country, and taken China on a new journey toward building a modern
socialist country in all respects. The great transformation over the past 10

years of the new era marks a milestone in the history of the Party, of the
People’s Republic of China, of reform and opening up, of the development of
socialism, and of the development of the Chinese nation. The Communist

Party of China has tempered itself through revolution and grown stronger.
The Chinese people are filled with a stronger sense of history and initiative.
The rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is now on an irreversible historical

course. Scientific socialism is brimming with renewed vitality in 21st-century
China.
The Congress stresses that we owe this great transformation to the entire

Party and the Chinese people of all ethnic groups who have striven in unity
under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi
Jinping at its core and under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism

with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. The Party has established
Comrade Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the
Party as a whole and established the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on

Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. This reflects the
common will of the Party, the military, and the Chinese people, and it is of
decisive significance for the cause of the Party and the country in the new era

and for advancing the historic process of national rejuvenation.
