Resolution of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China
on the Revised Constitution of the Communist Party of China

Adopted on October 22, 2022

The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has deliberated
and unanimously adopted the revised Constitution of the Communist Party of

China proposed by the 19th Party Central Committee and has decided that it shall
come into effect as of the date of adoption.

The Congress notes that adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the
needs of the times is a process of seeking, revealing, and applying truth. Since the

Party’s 19th National Congress, the Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at
its core has continued to integrate the basic tenets of Marxism with China’s specific
realities and fine traditional culture, put forward a series of new ideas, new

thinking, and new strategies on national governance, and made continuous
progress in enriching and developing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with

Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, thereby opening a new frontier in adapting
Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times. Xi Jinping Thought on

Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is the Marxism of
contemporary China and of the 21st century and embodies the best Chinese culture

and ethos of this era.
The Congress unanimously agrees that the new developments in Xi Jinping
Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era since the Party’s

19th National Congress should be incorporated into the Party Constitution, so as to
better reflect the major contributions made by the Central Committee with

Comrade Xi Jinping at its core to advancing the Party’s theoretical, practical, and
institutional innovations. The Congress calls on all Party members to acquire a

deep understanding of the decisive significance of establishing Comrade Xi
Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole
