Characteristics for a New Era and to fully implement this Thought in all areas and
stages of the work of the Party and the country.
The Congress affirms that, over the past century, the Party has always stayed
true to its original aspiration and founding mission, and it has united and led the
Chinese people in writing the most magnificent chapter in the millennia-long
history of the Chinese nation. In doing so, it has made great achievements and
accumulated valuable experience. The Congress approves the incorporation of the

remain confident in our history, exhibit greater historical initiative, stay committed
to the Party’s original aspiration and founding mission, pass on the traditions of
revolution, fully appreciate the contemporary features of the great new struggle,
and unite and lead Chinese people of all ethnic groups in achieving new successes
in building socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

whole Party and the entire nation for realizing the Second Centenary Goal and the
