These revisions will help all Party members uphold and strengthen the Central

and tasks of unparalleled difficulty in promoting reform, development, and

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

enabled the Party to successfully resolve the acute problems and challenges
undermining its long-term governance, the security and stability of the country,
and the wellbeing of the people, to remove serious hidden dangers in the Party, the

country, and the military, and to ultimately set the rejuvenation of the Chinese
nation on an irreversible historical course. The establishment of both Comrade Xi
Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole

and the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese
Characteristics for a New Era represents a major political achievement for the Party
in the new era and a decisive factor in the historic successes and changes in the

cause of the Party and the country. All Party members must acquire a deep
understanding of the decisive significance of this major achievement, more
conscientiously uphold Comrade Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central

Committee and in the Party as a whole and uphold the Central Committee’s
authority and its centralized, unified leadership, fully implement Xi Jinping
Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and closely

follow the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core in
thinking, political stance, and action.
