The central authorities have issued a notice of serious study and implementation of the party's 18 spirit of Party committees at all levels must follow the notification requirements, the study and implementation of the party's 18 spiritual depth. 

The party's 18 stressed the need to hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, emphasizing socialism with Chinese characteristics is the party and the people 90 years of struggle, the creation, accumulation of the fundamental achievements, we must cherish, and always adhere to the continuous development, calling on the party unremitting exploration and grasp the laws of socialism with Chinese characteristics, maintain the Party's vitality, maintain national development power, socialism with Chinese characteristics and strive to open broader prospects for development. It can be said, to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics is a main theme throughout the party's 18 report. We must firmly grasp the main line, upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics as a study and implement the spirit of the party's 18 focus point, focal point, end point, the only way to put the spirit of the party's 18 learn more depth, a more thorough understanding of, and implement a more conscious. 

Why would I want to emphasize this point? This is because the long-term practice of the party and the state proved that only socialism can save China, and only socialism with Chinese characteristics can develop China. Only hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, we can unite and lead the whole Party and people, building a moderately prosperous society in 100 years when the Communist Party of China was founded, built a prosperous, democratic, civilized and harmonious modern socialist country in the new China was founded 100 years, the won the Chinese people and the Chinese nation a happier future. 

Focus on upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics, study and implementation of the party's 18 spirit, I realized, should grasp the following aspects from the combination of theory and practice. 

First, a profound understanding of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the fundamental achievements of the party and the people made a long-term practice. Socialism with Chinese characteristics and create a new era of reform and opening up, but also build our party on the basis of long-term struggle, by our generations of central collective leadership of the party to unite and lead the whole Party and the people through hardships, to pay various costs, relay explore achieved. Our party firmly relying on the people, changing the future and destiny of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation fundamentally irreversible after the end of the modern Chinese internal and external, the tragic fate of the poor and weak, irreversibly opened the nation continue to grow , to the great rejuvenation of the march of history, the Chinese nation has a history of 5,000 years of civilization with a new attitude among the nations. 

We must never forget the historic contributions of three generations of central collective leadership with Comrade Hu Jintao as General Secretary and the Party Central Committee made for socialism with Chinese characteristics. The first generation of central collective leadership with Comrade Mao Zedong as the core for the new era to create socialism with Chinese characteristics has provided valuable experience, theoretical preparation, material basis. The second generation of central collective leadership with Comrade Deng Xiaoping as the core of the success of socialism with Chinese characteristics and create. The third generation of central collective leadership with Comrade Jiang Zemin at the core, the success of the socialism with Chinese characteristics into the 21st century. The new stage in the new century, with Comrade Hu Jintao as general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, successfully uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics at a new historical starting point. As can be seen, socialism with Chinese characteristics, carrying the ideals of several generations of Chinese Communists and exploration, entrusted with numerous people with lofty aspiration and hope, embodied the struggle and sacrifice of millions of people, is the inevitable choice of China's social development since modern times , is the development of China, the only way to stabilize China. 

Practice has fully proved that socialism with Chinese characteristics is the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese people united banner of progressive banner of victory. We want a comprehensive well-off society and accelerating the socialist modernization and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we must always hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, unswervingly adhere to and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics. The party's 18 demands that all firmly on the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, self-confidence, self-confident theory, institutional self-confidence, the fundamental reason here. 

Second, a profound understanding of socialism with Chinese characteristics is by road, theoretical system, the system consisting of the Trinity. The party's 18 clarifies the socialist road with Chinese characteristics, the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the scientific connotation of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and their mutual links, emphasized: the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the Way, the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics is a guide to action, the socialist system with Chinese characteristics is the fundamental guarantee, the three are united in the great practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics. This is the most distinctive characteristics of socialism with Chinese characteristics. 

This generalization tells us: socialism with Chinese characteristics is the practice, theory, system closely integrated, both the successful practice into theory, theory correct again to guide new practice, practice guidelines and policies also have paid off in a timely manner to rise for the system of the Party and the country. So, on the special characteristics of socialism with Chinese characteristics in its path, theoretical system, the system, especially on the special way in its implementation, the intrinsic link guide to action, fundamental safeguards, especially on special in these three are united in socialism with Chinese characteristics great practice. In contemporary China, uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, that is true to socialism. 

The road of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the only way to realize China's socialist modernization is the only way to create the people a better life. The road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, adhere to both economic construction as the center, and comprehensively promote economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction, ecological civilization construction and other aspects; both adhere to the Four Cardinal Principles and persevere in reform and opening up; both continue to liberate and develop the productive forces, and gradually achieve common prosperity of all the people, promote the comprehensive development of man. 

Theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics is the latest achievements of Marxism in China, including Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of "Three Represents", the scientific concept of development, with Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought is persistence, development and inheritance, innovation relationship. Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought must not lose, lose lose fundamental. At the same time, we must take the practical problems of China's reform, opening up and modernization drive, we are doing things for the center, focusing on the use of Marxist theory, focusing on practical issues of theoretical thinking, focus on new practices and new development of. In contemporary China, adhere to the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, that is true to Marxism. 

The socialist system with Chinese characteristics, adhere to the fundamental political system, the basic political system with specific systems as well as the basic economic system and other aspects of institutional mechanisms combine to adhere to the national level with grassroots democracy democratic system combine to adhere to the party's leadership people masters of the country machines combine in line with China's national conditions, embodies the characteristics and advantages of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the fundamental institutional guarantee for China's development and progress. 

Should be noted that the socialist system with Chinese characteristics is distinctive, highly efficient, but it is not perfect, mature stereotypes. The continuous development of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the socialist system with Chinese characteristics also need to continue to improve. Comrade Deng Xiaoping visited the South in 1992 an important conversation that: "I am afraid there three decades, we will form a set of more mature in all respects, more stereotyped system." The party's 18 stressed the need system building in a prominent position, give full play to the superiority of the socialist political system. We should adhere to the theory of innovation to promote institutional innovation based on practice, adhere to and improve the existing system, from the reality, the timely development of new systems, building systems complete, scientific and standardized, run an effective institutional system, so that all aspects of the system more mature more stereotypes, in order to win new victory of socialism with Chinese characteristics to provide a more effective system of protection. 

Third, based on a profound understanding of the overall construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the overall layout of the overall mission. The party's 18 stressed that the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the total is based on the primary stage of socialism, the total layout is one of five, general task is to achieve socialist modernization and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. This "three total" generalizations, farsighted, focused on the vital and concise. Deeply understand and grasp the new summary will help us deeply understand and grasp the true meaning and essence of socialism with Chinese characteristics. 

Emphasizes total basis, because primary stage of socialism is the largest contemporary Chinese national conditions, the maximum practical. We must firmly grasp the biggest national circumstances, in any case, any aspect of reform and development must be firmly based on the maximum practical. Not only in economic construction should always be based on the initial stage, but also in the political construction, cultural construction, social construction, ecological civilization construction should always keep in mind the primary stage; not only in the low total economy should be based on when the primary stage, and the total economy in after the increase is still to keep in mind the primary stage; not only in the long-term development plan should be based at the initial stage, but also in their daily work should keep in mind the primary stage. Party's basic line in the primary stage of socialism is the lifeline of the party and the country. In practice, we must always adhere to the "one center and two basic points" unwavering, neither deviate from the "one center" nor neglected "two basic points", the practice common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics and firm communism lofty ideals unite firmly resist all kinds of false claims to abandon socialism and consciously correct misconceptions and policy measures beyond the stage. The only way to truly neither timid nor arrogant, solid win new victory of socialism with Chinese characteristics. 

Stressed the general layout, because socialism with Chinese characteristics is a socialist-round development. We must firmly grasp the top priority in governing and rejuvenating the party, always represent the development requirements of China's advanced productive forces, persist in taking economic construction as the center, based on continuous economic development, coordinate the promotion of political construction, cultural construction, social construction, ecological construction and other aspects of civilization. With the deepening of China's economic and social development, ecological civilization construction status and role has become increasingly prominent. Eighteen party included a lot of ecological civilization overall layout of socialism with Chinese characteristics, so that the strategic position of ecological civilization construction more clearly conducive to the construction of ecological civilization into economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction and all aspects of the whole process. This is an important outcome of our party building of socialism in practice and deepening understanding. We should follow this general layout, and promote the modernization of the parties face coordinate the relations of production and productivity, the superstructure and the economic base. 

Stressed the overall mission, because our party was founded that day, on the shoulders to achieve the great rejuvenation of the historic mission. Our revolutionary party to lead the people building the reform is to make the Chinese people rich, strong and prosperous country, the great revitalization of the Chinese nation. According to modernization "three-step" strategic plan to build a prosperous, democratic, civilized and harmonious modern socialist country is our party and our country throughout the primary stage of socialism goal. Solemn mission of our party, the fundamental purpose of the reform and opening up, our country's goals are focused on the overall mission, due to the overall mission. We must firmly grasp the overall mission, from generation to generation and perseverance to stay here. 

Our party in different historical periods, always in accordance with the wishes of the people and career development needs, proposed charismatic goal, unite and lead the people fighting. According to the party's 18 new domestic and international situation changes, adapt to new economic and social development and new expectations of the masses, the goal of building a moderately prosperous society has been enriched and improved, made more explicit policy guidance, and more for the development problems, better adapt to the new demands of the people will. These objectives and requirements, and the Party Congress put forward the goal of building a moderately prosperous society and the realization of the party's congress proposed the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in the new requirements of convergence, but also consistent with the overall layout of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The whole Party to work together, work hard, innovation, pioneering spirit, work together to achieve the party's 18 proposed building a moderately prosperous society and the comprehensive deepening of reform and opening goal. 

Fourth, a profound understanding of socialism with Chinese characteristics to win new victories basic requirements. The party's 18 proposed to win new victories of socialism with Chinese characteristics under the new historical conditions, we must firmly grasp the basic requirements. These basic requirements are based on the Party's basic theory, basic line, basic program and basic experience, profound summary of 60 years of socialist construction in China in particular, the practice of building socialism with Chinese characteristics to make is the most essential thing, is a manifestation of Communist Party rule , the building of socialism, something the law of development of human society, shows that our party's understanding of the laws of socialism with Chinese characteristics has reached a new level. 

The basic requirements put forward by the party's 18 further answered in the new historical journey of how to win new victory of socialism with Chinese characteristics basic problems. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the millions of people in their careers, so the people must play a sense of ownership, and better ensure that the people are the masters. Liberating and developing the productive forces is the fundamental task of socialism with Chinese characteristics, it must persist in taking economic construction as the central theme of scientific development, to achieve people-oriented, comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable scientific development. Reform and opening up are upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics is the only way, it must always implement the spirit of reform and innovation in all aspects of governance, continuously push forward the socialist system of self-improvement and development. Justice is an inherent requirement of socialism with Chinese characteristics, it must be in the common struggle of all people, on the basis of economic and social development, intensify the construction of the system to ensure social fairness and justice have a significant effect, and gradually establish a social security system fair. Common prosperity is the fundamental principle of socialism with Chinese characteristics, it is necessary to make more and more equitable development results benefit all the people, the direction of steady progress toward common prosperity. Social harmony is an essential attribute of socialism with Chinese characteristics, it is necessary to unite all forces that can be united, the maximum increase harmonious factors and enhance the vitality of the community to create stability of the state to ensure that people live in peace, social stability and order. Peaceful development is the inevitable choice of socialism with Chinese characteristics, it must adhere to open development, development cooperation, win-win development, expanding with converging interests, promote the building of lasting peace, common prosperity and harmonious world. Communist Party of China is the leading cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the core, it is necessary to strengthen and improve the Party's leadership, give full play to the party overall situation and coordinating the core of leadership of the parties. 

The basic requirements put forward by the party's 18, is a prominent problems existing in China's economic and social development of the current reform of tackling difficult issues and accelerate the transformation of economic development faced by the positive response to the cadres and masses of hot issues of common concern, is for China built into the reform and development of a comprehensive well-off society decisive phase stability, domestic and foreign affairs defense and guidelines governing the right of the party, state and army. These basic requirements, involving both productivity and production relations, but also involves economic base and superstructure, both involved in the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, it also involves the new great project of Party building, and also involve co-ordinate domestic and international situations. The party's 18 on the work plan and deploy both follow and reflect these basic requirements. Seize these basic requirements, we can better cohesion to tackle tough, continue to promote scientific development, promote social harmony and continue to improve people's lives, enhance people's well-being, given the times to complete the glorious and arduous task. 

Fifth, a profound understanding of the strong leadership to ensure that the party always be the core of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The party's 18 emphasized that our party to unite and lead the people charged with building a moderately prosperous society, promoting the socialist modernization and the great rejuvenation of the task. Strong and powerful party, the party to maintain close ties with the people, the state's prosperity and stability, on the well-being of the people. Development of the situation, career development, people's expectations have asked us to comprehensively promote the spirit of reform and innovation to the new great project of Party building, improve the scientific level of party building. Ruling party must first rule, rule the party strictly. To this end, the party's 18 proposed general requirements comprehensively improve the scientific level of party building under the new situation and tasks. The whole party to deeply study and understand, one by one to implement. 

Party's total construction requirements of the party's 18 proposed focusing on both inherit and carry forward our party 90 years to maintain and develop the advanced nature of the Marxist party raised fundamental point, but also a focus on the next adapt and respond to the new situation of the world situation , the country, the situation of the new changes proposed by the party. Over the years, we have comprehensively promote the new great project of Party building, the party's ability to obtain new improvement, the party's advanced nature and purity are maintained and developed, the party leadership has been strengthened and improved. Meanwhile, compared with the developments and changes at home and abroad, compared with the historical task undertaken by the party, the party's leadership and governance, party organizations and party cadres status, ability, style is still not a small gap. In particular, under the new situation to strengthen and improve Party building facing the "four tests", "four dangers" to implement the party to manage the party strictly tasks than ever before are more arduous more urgent. The party to enhance the sense of urgency and responsibility, firmly grasp the Party's total construction requirements, and constantly improve the Party's leadership and governance, improve the ability to resist corruption and risks, so that our party and profound changes in the world situation in the historical process always in the forefront of the times, in response to a variety of risks and challenges at home and abroad in the historical process always be the backbone of the people, in the historical process of upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics has always been to become a strong core of leadership. 

Ideals and faith, adhere to the spirit of the pursuit of communists, the communists want to settle down is always fundamental. Belief in Marxism, socialism and communism belief Communists political soul Communists withstand any test of spiritual pillar. Figuratively speaking, the Communists spiritual ideals and beliefs is "calcium" without ideals and beliefs, ideals and beliefs are not strong, mentally will "calcium", you will get "rickets." In real life, some party members and cadres out of this kind of problem, in the final analysis is the belief confused, lost spirit. The party to follow the party's 18 deployment, in-depth study and practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics theoretical system in particular scientific concept of development, stressing the Party spirit, conduct, for example, vowed to achieve the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics and strive. 

Close party-masses relations, maintain contact with the people of flesh and blood, has always been the foundation of our party invincible. A political party, a political power, its future and destiny will ultimately depend on popular support. If we are divorced from the masses, lost support of the people, eventually to failure. We have to adapt to the new situation New features of the new requirements of the masses, in-depth to organize the masses, propaganda among the masses, educate the masses, serve the people, to learn from the masses, sincerely accept supervision by the masses, and always rooted in the people, for the benefit of the people, and always maintain the party close ties with the masses, always with the people of one mind, with a common fate. People learn from the great practice of wisdom and strength and good wishes of the people, the people to worry, and improve people's practical, to correct that harm their interests. The party's 18 proposed to carry out the Party's mass line educational practice to clean pragmatic people in the party as the main content. This activity center will be deployed to implement the Party committees at all levels should earnestly strive to solve the people the salient issues, assurance activities to achieve tangible results. 

Against corruption and building a clean political party body to maintain health, our party has always been consistent in sharp political stance. Honest government, is a major political issue cadres and the masses are always of concern. "Things must first rot, before worms born." In recent years, some countries due to long-term accumulation of contradictions lead to widespread popular discontent and social unrest, the collapse of the regime, in which corruption is a very important reason. A large number of facts tell us that the problem of corruption intensified, ultimately bound Wangdangwangguo! We want alert ah! Serious discipline violation cases in recent years occurred in our party, nature is very bad, very bad political influence, shocking. Party committees at all levels take a firm stance against corruption, more scientific and effective prevention of corruption, so that cadres honest, clean government, political Qingming, maintain clean and honest Communists political qualities. Leading cadres at all levels, especially senior cadres should consciously abide by the ICAC guidelines, both self-discipline, but also to strengthen their relatives and staff education and restraint, never allow abuse of power, never allowed out privileges. For all violations of party discipline, must be punished, must not be soft. 

The party's 18 stressed that the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics is a long and arduous historical task, we must prepare for the great historical struggle has many new features. All Party members must take a more firm belief, more tenacious efforts, unwaveringly adhere to the times of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and constantly enrich the practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics, features, theoretical characteristics, national characteristics, characteristics of the times, unite and lead people of all nationalities, to build a moderately prosperous society efforts to achieve the goals of the task, continue to achieve the modernization drive, achieving national reunification, and safeguarding world peace and promoting common development of these three historical tasks. This is our historic task of this generation of Communists, whom we have to pay all the wisdom and strength.
