第二篇：中国共产党党章
积极响应党中央的号召，贯彻执行省委省政府的部署，认真按照局党组和局党委组织动员的要求，深入扎实开展党的群众路线教育实践活动。首先是通过学习，进一步提高认识。再次打开党的十八大修订的《中国共产党章程》，最大的收获是常学常新，最要牢记的是我们党全心全意为人民服务的根本宗旨，最深的体会是进入党的门，成为党的人，就必须为党尽职尽责，就应该为党奋斗终生、为民奉献终身，最重要的是明确了方向，认准了道路，提高了认识。
一、党的章程指引我们前进的方向
结合党的群众路线教育实践活动的要求，认真学习各有关材料。当重温党的章程的时候，从新的角度来学习，有了新的发现和新的体会。
党的章程开篇就在总纲中指出：中国共产党是两个“先锋队”和“三个代表”，其核心都围绕着广大人民群众，落脚点都是带领着人民群众、代表着人民群众。党章还指出：“党在自己的工作中实行群众路线，一切为了群众，一切依靠群众，从群众中来，到群众中去，把党的正确主张变为群众的自觉行动。我们党的最大政治优势是密切联系群众，党执政后的最大危险是脱离群众。党风问题，党同人民群众联系问题是关系党的生死存亡的问题”。党的章程旗帜鲜明，指明了什么是我们党的群众路线，走群众路线就有优势，脱离群众就有巨大危险。这些都为我们指明前进的方向，联系群众就是力量，是共产党战胜一切艰难险阻，从胜利走向新的更大胜利的力量源泉。新的历史时期，我们必须加强党同人民群众的血肉联系，首先必须提高对坚持走群众路线的认识，自觉投身于党的群众路线教育实践活动中。在我们的XX工作中沿着党章所指引的方向，把群众路线作为我们党的生命线和根本工作路线。以搞好XX业务工作为契机，扎根于群众之中，为群众排忧解难，想群众之所想，急群众之所急。真抓实干，继承和发扬党的密切联系群众的优良传统和作风。克服困难，深入边疆和基层，到支部所确定的联系点上去，实地调研访谈，为基层排忧解难。
二、党的章程照亮我们前进的道路
树立和巩固全心全意为人民服务思想是执政党建设的根本要求。我们必须深刻领会这一要求，认真贯彻执行好，进一步增强全心全意为人民服务的意识。党的章程在执政党建设的要求中指出：“坚持全心全意为人民服务。党在任何时候都把群众利益放在第一位，同群众同甘共苦，保持最密切的联系，坚持权为民所用，情为民所系，利为民所谋，不允许任何党员脱离群众，凌驾于群众之上”。党章精辟地指出了共产党路所走的道路是一条全心全意为人民服务的路，是以为人民谋利益为核心的路，联系群众强调的是“最密切”，内容丰富，形势多样，要把千千万万的人民群众团结在共产党的周围，让他们自觉自愿地跟党走。我们共产党人最重要的是要时刻牢记自己的执政党地位，权如何用，情寄托何方，利为谁谋，岂止是大是大非问题，是关系到党的生死存亡的大问题。党员脱离群众，甚至凌驾于群众之上的危害可想而知。总书记指出：“我们要牢记全心全意为人民服务的根本宗旨，认真组织开展以为民务实清廉为主要内容的群众路线教育实践活动，始终保持同人民群众的血肉联系。要自觉遵守廉政准则，严于律己，正确行使人民赋予的权利，自觉接受群众的监督，乐于接受监督”。总书记的要求明确而具体，为我们用好权、系真情、谋利益点亮了“路灯”。
因此，开展党的群众路线教育实践活动具有重大的现实意义和深远的历史意义，现实当中确实存在一些没有全心全意为人民服务的党共产党员，脱离群众的党共产党员，不为群众谋利益的党共产党员，甚至触犯党纪国法的共产党员。让人想起参观云南省反腐倡廉警示教育活动上看到的那一幕一幕，触目惊心，发人深省。以人为镜可以知得失，以史为镜可以知兴替。历史上关于历史更替变化周期的史实，从太平天国的覆灭到蒋家王朝的命运，无论是古代还是近代都有许多重复类似的演绎。让我们警醒，更加重视开展党的群众路线教育实践活动。
三、党的章程是规矩和方圆
党的章程为我们指明了方向，照亮了道路。共产党员进入党的门，就必须走共产党的路;成为党的人，就必须为党的事业尽职尽责，就应该为党的奋斗目标而奋斗终生，为人民群众民奉献终身。党的章程是我们行动的指南，共产党人必须循规蹈矩才是正道。总书记指出：“没有规矩，不成方圆。党章是党的根本大法，是全党必须遵守的总规则，在各级党组织的全部活动中都要引导广大党员、干部、特别是领导干部自觉学习党章、遵守党章、贯彻党章、维护党章、自觉加强党性修养，增强党的意识、宗旨意识、执政意识、大局意识，切实做到为党分忧、为国尽责、为民奉献”。这是党和国家领导人对广大党员、干部、特别是领导干部的全面热切要求，将党的章程奉为党的大法、党员行为的总规则，首次将党章提到前所未有的高度来认识和要求，各项要求环环紧扣，个个意识音外有音。回到党章的深入学习体会中来，倍感开展党的群众路线教育实践活动有着非常及时的时效意义。深入学习领会党章，实践党章，检查对照自己的差距，是开展党的群众路线教育实践活动的一项非常重要的内容，作为一个活动主题应该切实提高我们每一个党员对党章的认识，作为一个专题活动，把党章的学习领会与开展党的群众路线教育实践的各项活动紧密结合起来，发挥基层党组织、党支部学习贯彻党章的积极性和主动性，更好地组织开展党的群众路线教育实践的各项活动。
四、努力完成好群众路线教育实践活动的各项任务
在参加党的群众路线教育实践的各项活动中，结合我们所承担的具体XX服务工作任务，对照着党章找差距，认识不到位的，要加强学习，工作做得不够的，没做到的，我们要努力去做好、做足。努力完成好党的群众路线教育实践活动安排部署的各项任务。
党的群众路线教育实践活动的主要任务是教育引导党员、干部树立群众观点，坚持群众路线，维护群众利益，做好群众工作，弘扬优良作风，解决突出问题，保持清廉本色。进一步提高党员、干部思想认识，进一步转变作风，进一步密切党群干群关系，进一步树立为民务实清廉形象。要坚持围绕中心、服务大局，全面贯彻落实党的十八大和省第九次党代会提出的各项任务要求，把作风建设放在突出位置，凝聚党和人民群众的力量，为推动全省经济社会跨越发展做我们应有的贡献。
党的群众路线教育实践活动的总要求是“照镜子、正衣冠、洗洗澡、治治病”。我们每一位队员都要按照这一要求认真去做，做出成效，做出新面貌，做出干劲，切实转变我们的思想作风、工作作风和生活作风。努力发挥基层党组织的战斗堡垒作用，努力发挥党员干部的先锋模范作用，为实现全面建成云南小康社会的目标而努力奉献。
第三篇：中国共产党党章
中国共产党员党章（总纲）
中国共产党章程
（中国共产党第十六次全国代表大会部分修改，2002年11月14日通过）
总 纲
中国共产党是中国工人阶级的先锋队，同时是中国人民和中华民族的先锋队，是中国特色社会主义事业的领导核心，代表中国先进生产力的发展要求，代表中国先进文化的前进方向，代表中国最广大人民的根本利益。党的最高理想和最终目标是实现共产主义。
中国共产党以马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想、邓小平理论和“三个代表”重要思想作为自己的行动指南。马克思列宁主义揭示了人类社会历史发展的规律，它的基本原理是正确的，具有强大的生命力。中国共产党人追求的共产主义最高理想，只有在社会主义社会充分发展和高度发达的基础上才能实现。社会主义制度的发展和完善是一个长期的历史过程。坚持马克思列宁主义的基本原理，走中国人民自愿选择的适合中国国情的道路，中国的社会主义事业必将取得最终的胜利。
以毛泽东同志为主要代表的中国共产党人，把马克思列宁主义的基本原理同中国革命的具体实践结合起来，创立了毛泽东思想。毛泽东思想是马克思列宁主义在中国的运用和发展，是被实践证明了的关于中国革命和建设的正确的理论原则和经验总结，是中国共产党集体智慧的结晶。在毛泽东思想指引下，中国共产党领导全国各族人民，经过长期的反对帝国主义、封建主义、官僚资本主义的革命斗争，取得了新民主主义革命的胜利，建立了人民民主专政的中华人民共和国；建国以后，顺利地进行了社会主义改造，完成了从新民主主义到社会主义的过渡，确立了社会主义基本制度，发展了社会主义的经济、政治和文化。十一届三中全会以来，以邓小平同志为主要代表的中国共产党人，总结建国以来正反两方面的经验，解放思想，实事求是，实现全党工作中心向经济建设的转移，实行改革开放，开辟了社会主义事业发展的新时期，逐步形成了建设中国特色社会主义的路线、方针、政策，阐明了在中国建设社会主义、巩固和发展社会主义的基本问题，创立了邓小平理论。邓小平理论是马克思列宁主义的基本原理同当代中国实践和时代特征相结合的产物，是毛泽东思想在新的历史条件下的继承和发展，是马克思主义在中国发展的新阶段，是当代中国的马克思主义，是中国共产党集体智慧的结晶，引导着我国社会主义现代化事业不断前进。十三届四中全会以来，以江泽民同志为主要代表的中国共产党人，在建设中国特色社会主义的实践中，加深了对什么是社会主义、怎样建设社会主义和建设什么样的党、怎样建设党的认识，积累了治党治国新的宝贵经验，形成了“三个代表”重要思想。“三个代表”重要思想是对马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想、邓小平理论的继承和发展，反映了当代世界和中国的发展变化对党和国家工作的新要求，是加强和改进党的建设、推进我国社会主义自我完善和发展的强大理论武器，是中国共产党集体智慧的结晶，是党必须长期坚持的指导思想。始终做到“三个代表”，是我们党的立党之本、执政之基、力量之源。
我国正处于并将长期处于社会主义初级阶段。这是在经济文化落后的中国建设社会主义现代化不可逾越的历史阶段，需要上百年的时间。我国的社会主义建设，必须从我国的国情出发，走中国特色社会主义道路。在现阶段，我国社会的主要矛盾是人民日益增长的物质文化需要同落后的社会生产之间的矛盾。由于国内的因素和国际的影响，阶级斗争还在一定范围内长期存在，在某种条件下还有可能激化，但已经不是主要矛盾。我国社会主义建设的根本任务，是进一步解放生产力，发展生产力，逐步实现社会主义现代化，并且为此而改革生产关系和上层建筑中不适应生产力发展的方面和环节。必须坚持和完善公有制为主体、多种所有制经济共同发展的基本经济制度，坚持和完善按劳分配为主体、多种分配方式并存的分配制度，鼓励一部分地区和一部分人先富起来，逐步消灭贫穷，达到共同富裕，在生产发展和社会财富增长的基础上不断满足人民日益增长的物质文化需要。发展是我们党执政兴国的第一要务。各项工作都要把有利于发展社会主义社会的生产力，有利于增强社会主义国家的综合国力，有利于提高人民的生活水平，作为总的出发点和检验标准。跨入新世纪，我国进入全面建设小康社会、加快推进社会主义现代化的新的发展阶段。在新世纪新阶段，经济和社会发展的战略目标是，巩固和发展已经初步达到的小康水平，到建党一百年时，建成惠及十几亿人口的更高水平的小康社会；到建国一百年时，人均国内生产总值达到中等发达国家水平，1
基本实现现代化。
中国共产党在社会主义初级阶段的基本路线是：领导和团结全国各族人民，以经济建设为中心，坚持四项基本原则，坚持改革开放，自力更生，艰苦创业，为把我国建设成为富强、民主、文明的社会主义现代化国家而奋斗。
中国共产党在领导社会主义事业中，必须坚持以经济建设为中心，其他各项工作都服从和服务于这个中心。要抓紧时机，加快发展，实施科教兴国战略和可持续发展战略，充分发挥科学技术作为第一生产力的作用，依靠科技进步，提高劳动者素质，做到效益好、质量高、速度快，努力把经济建设搞上去。
坚持社会主义道路、坚持人民民主专政、坚持中国共产党的领导、坚持马克思列宁主义毛泽东思想这四项基本原则，是我们的立国之本。在社会主义现代化建设的整个过程中，必须坚持四项基本原则，反对资产阶级自由化。
坚持改革开放，是我们的强国之路。要从根本上改革束缚生产力发展的经济体制，坚持和完善社会主义市场经济体制；与此相适应，要进行政治体制改革和其他领域的改革。开放包括对外对内的全面开放。要发展对外经济技术交流与合作，更多更好地利用外来资金、资源和技术，吸收和借鉴人类社会创造的一切文明成果，包括西方发达国家的一切反映现代社会化生产规律的先进经营方式、管理方法。改革开放应当大胆探索，勇于开拓，在实践中开创新路。
中国共产党领导人民发展社会主义民主政治，建设社会主义政治文明。坚持扩大社会主义民主，健全社会主义法制，依法治国，建设社会主义法治国家，巩固人民民主专政。坚持人民代表大会制度。坚持共产党领导的多党合作和政治协商制度。积极支持人民当家作主，切实保障人民管理国家事务和社会事务、管理经济和文化事业的权利。广开言路，建立健全民主决策、民主监督的制度和程序。加强国家立法和法律实施工作，使国家各项工作逐步走上法制化轨道。加强社会治安综合治理，保持社会长期稳定。依法坚决打击各种危害国家安全和利益、危害社会稳定和经济发展的犯罪活动和犯罪分子。严格区分和正确处理敌我矛盾和人民内部矛盾这两类不同性质的矛盾。
中国共产党领导人民在建设物质文明、政治文明的同时，努力建设社会主义精神文明，实行依法治国和以德治国相结合。社会主义精神文明建设为经济建设和改革开放提供强大的精神动力和智力支持，创造良好的社会环境。应当大力发展教育、科学、文化事业，尊重知识，尊重人才，提高全民族的思想道德素质和科学文化素质，弘扬民族优秀传统文化，繁荣和发展社会主义文化。应当用党的基本路线和爱国主义、集体主义、社会主义思想教育党员和人民群众，增强民族自尊、自信和自强精神，对党员还要进行共产主义远大理想教育，抵御资本主义和封建主义腐朽思想的侵蚀，扫除各种社会丑恶现象，努力使我国人民成为有理想、有道德、有文化、有纪律的人民。
中国共产党坚持对人民解放军和其他人民武装力量的领导，加强人民解放军的建设，充分发挥人民解放军在巩固国防、保卫祖国和参加社会主义现代化建设中的作用。
中国共产党维护和发展国内各民族的平等、团结、互助关系，坚持实行和不断完善民族区域自治制度，积极培养、选拔少数民族干部，帮助各少数民族地区发展经济、文化，实现各民族的共同繁荣和全面进步。中国共产党同全国各民族工人、农民、知识分子团结在一起，同各民主党派、无党派人士、各民族的爱国力量团结在一起，进一步发展和壮大由全体社会主义劳动者、拥护社会主义的爱国者、拥护祖国统一的爱国者组成的最广泛的爱国统一战线。不断加强全国人民包括香港特别行政区同胞、澳门特别行政区同胞、台湾同胞和海外侨胞的团结。按照“一个国家、两种制度”的方针，完成祖国统一的大业。
中国共产党主张积极发展对外关系，努力为我国的改革开放和现代化建设争取有利的国际环境。在国际事务中，坚持独立自主的和平外交政策，维护我国的独立和主权，反对霸权主义和强权政治，维护世界和平，促进人类进步。在互相尊重主权和领土完整、互不侵犯、互不干涉内政、平等互利、和平共处五项原则的基础上，发展我国同世界各国的关系。不断发展我国同周边国家的睦邻友好关系，加强同发展中国家的团结与合作。按照独立自主、完全平等、互相尊重、互不干涉内部事务的原则，发展我党同各国共产党和其他政党的关系。
中国共产党要领导全国各族人民实现社会主义现代化的宏伟目标，必须紧密围绕党的基本路线加强和改进党的建设。坚持党要管党、从严治党，发扬党的优良传统和作风，不断提高党的领导水平和执政水平，提高拒腐防变和抵御风险的能力，不断增强党的阶级基础和扩大党的群众基础，不断提高党的创造力、凝
聚力、战斗力，使我们党始终走在时代前列，成为领导全国人民沿着中国特色社会主义道路不断前进的坚强核心。党的建设必须坚决实现以下四项基本要求：
第一，坚持党的基本路线。全党要用邓小平理论、“三个代表”重要思想和党的基本路线统一思想，统一行动，并且毫不动摇地长期坚持下去。必须把改革开放同四项基本原则统一起来，全面落实党的基本路线，全面执行党在社会主义初级阶段的基本纲领，反对一切“左”的和右的错误倾向，要警惕右，但主要是防止“左”。加强各级领导班子建设，选拔使用在改革开放和社会主义现代化建设中政绩突出、群众信任的干部，培养和造就千百万社会主义事业接班人，从组织上保证党的基本路线和基本纲领的贯彻落实。
第二，坚持解放思想，实事求是，与时俱进。党的思想路线是一切从实际出发，理论联系实际，实事求是，在实践中检验真理和发展真理。全党必须坚持这条思想路线，积极探索，大胆试验，开拓创新，创造性地开展工作，不断研究新情况，总结新经验，解决新问题，在实践中丰富和发展马克思主义。
第三，坚持全心全意为人民服务。党除了工人阶级和最广大人民群众的利益，没有自己特殊的利益。党在任何时候都把群众利益放在第一位，同群众同甘共苦，保持最密切的联系，不允许任何党员脱离群众，凌驾于群众之上。党在自己的工作中实行群众路线，一切为了群众，一切依靠群众，从群众中来，到群众中去，把党的正确主张变为群众的自觉行动。我们党的最大政治优势是密切联系群众，党执政后的最大危险是脱离群众。党风问题、党同人民群众联系问题是关系党生死存亡的问题。党坚持不懈地反对腐败，加强党风建设和廉政建设。
第四，坚持民主集中制。民主集中制是民主基础上的集中和集中指导下的民主相结合。它既是党的根本组织原则，也是群众路线在党的生活中的运用。必须充分发扬党内民主，发挥各级党组织和广大党员的积极性创造性。必须实行正确的集中，保证全党行动的一致，保证党的决定得到迅速有效的贯彻执行。加强组织性纪律性，在党的纪律面前人人平等。加强对党的领导机关和党员领导干部的监督，不断完善党内监督制度。党在自己的政治生活中正确地开展批评和自我批评，在原则问题上进行思想斗争，坚持真理，修正错误。努力造成又有集中又有民主，又有纪律又有自由，又有统一意志又有个人心情舒畅的生动活泼的政治局面。
党的领导主要是政治、思想和组织的领导。党要适应改革开放和社会主义现代化建设的要求，加强和改善党的领导。党必须按照总揽全局、协调各方的原则，在同级各种组织中发挥领导核心作用。党必须集中精力领导经济建设，组织、协调各方面的力量，同心协力，围绕经济建设开展工作。党必须实行民主的科学的决策，制定和执行正确的路线、方针、政策，做好党的组织工作和宣传教育工作，发挥全体党员的先锋模范作用。党必须在宪法和法律的范围内活动。党必须保证国家的立法、司法、行政机关，经济、文化组织和人民团体积极主动地、独立负责地、协调一致地工作。党必须加强对工会、共产主义青年团、妇女联合会等群众组织的领导，充分发挥它们的作用。党必须适应形势的发展和情况的变化，完善领导体制，改进领导方式，增强执政能力。共产党员必须同党外群众亲密合作，共同为建设中国特色社会主义而奋斗。

8、十六大修改党章的必要性和基本考虑。
答：现行党章是１９８２年９月党的十二大通过的。根据形势和任务的发展，１９８７年１１月，党的十三大对部分条文作了修改；１９９２年１０月，党的十四大对总纲和条文分别作了部分修改；１９９７年９月，党的十五大对总纲部分作了个别修改。
十五大以来，我国改革开放和社会主义现代化建设取得历史性进展，社会主义市场经济体制初步建立，现代化建设第二步战略目标顺利实现，人民生活总体上达到小康水平。跨入新世纪，我国进入了全面建设小康社会、加快推进社会主义现代化的新的发展阶段。在新世纪新阶段，党提出了新的发展目标和行动纲领，党章中的相关内容需要进行调整。
这些年来，我们党的自身建设也取得新的进展，积累了新的宝贵经验。特别是江泽民同志提出的‚三个代表‛重要思想，集中反映了当代世界和中国的发展变化对加强党的建设、推进中国特色社会主义伟大事业的根本要求，是对马克思主义建党学说的新发展。这也决定了有必要对党章进行修改，在党章中体现‚三个代表‛重要思想。
十六大修改党章遵循的总的原则是：坚持以马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想、邓小平理论和党的基本路线为指导，认真贯彻‚三个代表‛重要思想，把江泽民同志十六大报告中确立的重大理论观点和重大方针政策纳入党章，以适应新形势新任务对党的工作和党的建设提出的新要求。
现行党章是在全面总结我们党的历史经验的基础上，根据社会主义现代化建设的实际情况制定的，总体上能适应指导党的建设的需要。因此，对党章宜作小改，不作大改。对各方面提出的修改建议，坚持实践证明是成熟的就改，不成熟的不改。这次党章修改工作，突出了‚三个代表‛重要思想对新形势下党的工作和党的建设的指导作用，坚持了与时俱进和改革创新的精神，在保持党章整体框架不变的前提下，对一些内容作了适当修改或补充完善。这样做，有利于维护党章的权威性和保持内容的连续性，也有利于适应形势的发展，使党章能够更好地指导当前和今后一个时期党的工作和党的建设。
9、党章对党的性质是如何作进一步阐述的？
答：十六大修改后的党章，将党的性质进一步表述为：中国共产党是中国工人阶级的先锋队，同时是中国人民和中华民族的先锋队，是中国特色社会主义事业的领导核心，代表中国先进生产力的发展要求，代表中国先进文化的前进方向，代表中国最广大人民的根本利益。党的最高理想和最终目标是实现共产主义。
10、党章对中国共产主义青年团的性质是如何作进一步表述的？
答：中国共产主义青年团是党的助手和后备军。为了激励广大青年把胸怀共产主义远大理想同坚定中国特色社会主义信念结合起来，在改革开放和现代化建设的伟大实践中，努力学习，扎实工作，经受锻炼，增长才干，在第十章第四十九条中，将共青团‚是广大青年在实践中学习共产主义的学校‛，改为‚是广大青年在实践中学习中国特色社会主义和共产主义的学校‛。

第五篇：中国共产党党章英文版
中国共产党章程（英文版）
CONSTITUTION OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA
(Amended and adopted at the Seventeenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China on October 21, 2007
General Program
The Communist Party of China is the vanguard both of the Chinese working class and of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation.It is the core of leadership for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and represents the development trend of China’s advanced productive forces, the orientation of China’s advanced culture and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the Chinese people.The realization of communism is the highest ideal and ultimate
goal of the Party.The Communist Party of China takes Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of Three Represents as its guide to action.Marxism-Leninism brings to light the laws governing the development of the history of human society.Its basic tenets are correct and have tremendous vitality.The highest ideal of communism pursued by the Chinese Communists can be realized only when the socialist society is fully developed and highly advanced.The development and improvement of the socialist system is a long historical process.So long as the Chinese Communists uphold the basic tenets of Marxism-Leninism and follow the road suited to China’s specific conditions and chosen by the Chinese people of their own accord, the socialist cause in China will be crowned with final victory.The Chinese Communists, with Comrade Mao Zedong as their chief representative, created Mao Zedong Thought by integrating the basic tenets of Marxism-Leninism with the concrete practice of the Chinese revolution.Mao Zedong Thought is Marxism-Leninism applied and developed in China;it consists of a body of theoretical principles concerning the revolution and construction in China and a summary of experience therein, both of which have been proved correct by practice;and it represents the crystallized, collective wisdom of the Communist Party of China.Under the guidance of Mao Zedong Thought, the Communist Party of China led the people of all ethnic groups in the country in their prolonged revolutionary struggle against imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat-capitalism, winning victory in the new-democratic revolution and founding the People’s Republic of China, a people’s democratic dictatorship.After the founding of the People’s Republic, it led them in carrying out socialist transformation successfully, completing the transition from New Democracy to socialism, establishing the basic system of socialism and developing socialism economically, politically
and culturally.After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Party Central Committee, the Chinese Communists, with Comrade Deng Xiaoping as their chief representative, analyzed their experience, both positive and negative, gained since the founding of the People’s Republic, emancipated their minds, sought truth from facts, shifted the focus of the work of the whole Party onto economic development and carried out reform and opening to the outside world, ushering in a new era of development in the cause of socialism, gradually formulating the line, principles and policies concerning the building of socialism with Chinese characteristics and expounding the basic questions concerning the building, consolidation and development of socialism in China, and thus creating Deng Xiaoping Theory.Deng Xiaoping Theory is the outcome of the integration of the basic tenets of Marxism-Leninism with the practice of contemporary China and the features of the times, a continuation and development of Mao Zedong Thought under new historical conditions;it represents a new stage of development of Marxism in China, it is Marxism of contemporary China and it is the crystallized, collective wisdom of the Communist Party of China.It is guiding the socialist modernization of China from victory to victory.After the Fourth Plenary Session of the Thirteenth Party Central Committee and in the practice of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, the Chinese Communists, with Comrade Jiang Zemin as their chief representative, acquired a deeper understanding of what socialism is, how to build it and what kind of party to build and how to build it, accumulated new valuable experience in running the Party and state and formed the important thought of Three Represents.The important thought of Three Represents is a continuation and development of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory;it reflects new requirements for the work of the Party and state arising from the developments and changes in China and other parts of the world today;it serves as a powerful theoretical weapon for strengthening and improving Party building and for promoting self-improvement and development of socialism in China;and it is the crystallized, collective wisdom of the Communist Party of China.It is a guiding ideology that the Party must uphold for a long time to come.Persistent implementation of the Three Represents is the foundation for building the Party, the cornerstone for its governance and the
source of its strength.Since the Sixteenth National Congress, the Central Committee of the Party has followed the guidance of Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of Three Represents and, by pooling the wisdom of the whole Party to meet new requirements of development, formulated the Scientific Outlook on Development, which puts people first and calls for comprehensive, balanced and sustainable development.The outlook is a scientific theory that is in the same line as Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of Three Represents and keeps up with the times.It is an important guiding principle for China’s economic and social development and a major strategic thought that must be upheld and applied in developing socialism with
Chinese characteristics.The fundamental reason behind all of China’s achievements and progress since the reform and opening up policy was introduced is, in the final analysis, that the Party has blazed a path of socialism with Chinese characteristics and established a system of theories of socialism with Chinese characteristics.All Party members must cherish the path and the system that the Party explored and created after going through all the hardships, keep to the path and uphold the system for a long time to come and constantly develop them.They must hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics and strive to fulfill the three historical tasks of advancing the modernization drive, achieving national reunification, and safeguarding world peace and promoting
common development.China is in the primary stage of socialism and will remain so for a long time to come.This is a historical stage which cannot be skipped in socialist modernization in China which is backward economically and culturally.It will last for over a hundred years.In socialist construction the Party must proceed from China’s specific conditions and take the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.At the present stage, the principal contradiction in Chinese society is one between the ever-growing material and cultural needs of the people and the low level of production.Owing to both domestic circumstances and foreign influences, class struggle will continue to exist within a certain scope for a long time and may possibly grow acute under certain conditions, but it is no longer the principal contradiction.In building socialism, the basic task is to further release and develop the productive forces and achieve socialist modernization step by step by carrying out reform in those aspects and links of the production relations and the superstructure that do not conform to the development of the productive forces.The Party must uphold and improve the basic economic system, with public ownership playing a dominant role and different economic sectors developing side by side, as well as the system of distribution under which distribution according to work is dominant and a variety of modes of distribution coexist, encourage some areas and some people to become rich first, gradually eliminate poverty, achieve common prosperity, continuously meet the people’s ever-growing material and cultural needs on the basis of the growth of production and social wealth and promote people’s all-round development.Development is the Party’s top priority in governing and rejuvenating the country.The general starting point and criterion for judging all the Party’s work should be how it benefits development of the productive forces in China’s socialist society, adds to the overall strength of socialist China and improves the people’s living standards.The Party must respect work, knowledge, talent and creation and ensure that development is for the people, by the people and with the people sharing in its fruits.The beginning of the new century marks China’s entry into the new stage of development of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and accelerating socialist modernization.The Party must promote all-round economic, political, cultural and social development in accordance with the overall arrangements for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.The strategic objectives of economic and social development at this new stage in the new century are to consolidate and develop the relatively comfortable life initially attained, bring China into a moderately prosperous society of a higher level to the benefit of well over one billion people by the time of the Party’s centenary and bring the per capita GDP up to the level of moderately developed countries and realize modernization in the main by the time of the centenary of the People’s Republic
of China.The basic line of the Communist Party of China in the primary stage of socialism is to lead the people of all ethnic groups in a concerted, self-reliant and pioneering effort to turn China into a prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious modern socialist country by making economic development the central task while upholding the Four Cardinal Principles and the reform and opening up policy.In leading the cause of socialism, the Communist Party of China must persist in taking economic development as the central task, making all other work subordinate to and serve this central task.The Party must lose no time in speeding up development, implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, the strategy of strengthening the nation with trained personnel and the strategy of sustainable development, and give full play to the role of science and technology as the primary productive force.The Party must take advantage of the advancement of science and technology to improve the quality of workers and promote sound and rapid development of the national economy.The Four Cardinal Principles – to keep to the socialist road and to uphold the people’s democratic dictatorship, leadership by the Communist Party of China, and Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought – are the foundation on which to build the country.Throughout the course of socialist modernization the Party must adhere to the Four Cardinal Principles and combat bourgeois liberalization.Reform and opening up are the path to a stronger China.The Party must carry out fundamental reform of the economic structure that hampers the development of the productive forces, and keep to and improve the socialist market economy;it must also carry out corresponding political restructuring and reform in other fields.The Party must adhere to the basic state policy of opening up and assimilate and exploit the achievements of all other cultures.It must be bold in making explorations and breaking new ground in reform and opening up, make its reform decisions more scientific, better coordinate its reform measures and blaze new trails in practice.The Communist Party of China leads the people in developing the socialist market economy.It unwaveringly consolidates and develops the public sector of the economy and unswervingly encourages, supports and guides the development of the non-public sector.It gives play to the basic role of market forces in allocating resources and works to set up a sound system of macroeconomic regulation.The Party works to balance urban and rural development, development among regions, economic and social development, relations between man and nature, and domestic development and opening to the outside world, adjust the economic structure, and transform the pattern of economic development.It is dedicated to building a new socialist countryside, taking a new path of industrialization with Chinese characteristics, and making China an innovative country and a resource-conserving, environment-friendly

First, adhering to the Party’s basic line.The whole Party must achieve unity in thinking and in action with Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of Three Represents and the Party’s basic line, thoroughly apply the Scientific Outlook on Development and persevere in doing so for a long time to come.The Party must integrate the reform and opening up policy with the Four Cardinal Principles, carry out its basic line in all fields of endeavor, implement in an all-round way its basic program for the primary stage of socialism and combat all “Left” and Right erroneous tendencies, maintaining vigilance against Right tendencies, primarily against “Left” tendencies.The Party must intensify the building of leading bodies at all levels, selecting and promoting cadres who have scored outstanding achievements in their public service and have won the trust of the masses in reform, opening up and the modernization drive, and train and cultivate millions upon millions of successors to the cause of socialism, thus ensuring organizationally the implementation of the Party’s basic theory, line, program and experience.Second, persevering in emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts and keeping up with the times.The Party’s ideological line is to proceed from reality in handling all matters, to integrate theory with practice, to seek truth from facts, and to verify and develop the truth through practice.All Party members must adhere to this ideological line, promote the truth-seeking and pragmatic spirit, explore new ways, boldly experiment with new methods, go in for innovation, work creatively, constantly study new situations, review new experience and solve new problems, enrich and develop Marxism in practice, and advance the endeavor to adapt Marxism to
Chinese conditions.Third, persevering in serving the people wholeheartedly.The Party has no special interests of its own apart from the interests of the working class and the broadest masses of the people.At all times the Party gives top priority to the interests of the people, shares weal and woe with them, maintains the closest possible ties with them, and persists in exercising power for them, showing concern for them and working for their interests, and it does not allow any member to become divorced from the masses or place himself or herself above them.The Party follows the mass line in its work, doing everything for the masses, relying on them in every task, carrying out the principle of “from the masses, to the masses,” and translating its correct views into action by the masses of their own accord.The biggest political advantage of the Party lies in its close ties with the masses while the biggest potential danger for it as a ruling party comes from its divorce from them.The Party’s style of work and its maintenance of ties with the masses of the people are a matter of vital importance to the Party.The Party will establish a sound system for punishing and preventing corruption by fighting it in a comprehensive way, addressing both its symptoms and root cause and combining punishment with prevention, with the emphasis on prevention.The Party will persistently oppose corruption and step up efforts to improve its style of work and uphold integrity.Fourth, upholding democratic centralism.Democratic centralism is a combination of centralism on the basis of democracy and democracy under centralized guidance.It is the fundamental organizational principle of the Party and is also the mass line applied in the Party’s political activities.The Party must fully expand intra-Party democracy, safeguard the democratic rights of its members, and give play to the initiative and creativity of Party organizations at all levels as well as its members.Correct centralism must be practiced so as to ensure the solidarity, unity and concerted action in the whole Party and prompt and effective implementation of its decisions.The sense of organization and discipline must be strengthened, and all members are equal before Party discipline.Oversight of leading Party organs and of Party members holding leading positions must be strengthened and the system of intra-Party oversight constantly improved.In its internal political activities, the Party conducts criticism and self-criticism in the correct way, waging ideological struggles over matters of principle, upholding truth and rectifying mistakes.Diligent efforts must be made to create a political situation in which there are both centralism and democracy, both discipline and freedom, both unity of will and personal ease of mind and liveliness.Leadership by the Party means mainly political, ideological and organizational leadership.The Party must meet the requirements of reform, opening up and socialist modernization, persist in scientific, democratic and law-based governance, and strengthen and improve its leadership.Acting on the principle that the Party commands the overall situation and coordinates the efforts of all quarters, the Party must play the role as the core of leadership among all other organizations at the corresponding levels.It must concentrate on leading economic development, organize and coordinate all forces in a concerted effort to focus on economic development and promote all-round economic and social development.The Party must practice democratic and scientific decision-making;formulate and implement the correct line, principles and policies;do its organizational, publicity and educational work well and make sure that all Party members play an exemplary and vanguard role.The Party must conduct its activities within the framework of the Constitution and laws of the country.It must see to it that the legislative, judicial and administrative organs of the state and the economic, cultural and people’s organizations work with initiative and independent responsibility and in unison.The Party must strengthen its leadership over trade unions, the Communist Youth League, women’s federations and other mass organizations, and give full scope to their roles.The Party must adapt itself to the march of events and changing circumstances, improving its system and style of leadership and raising its governance capability.Party members must work in close cooperation with non-Party persons in the common endeavor to build socialism with Chinese characteristics.Chapter I Membership
