Intensify Our Efforts to Research and Interpret the Party’s Innovative Theories*

November 27, 2024

The project to study and develop Marxist theory is a strategic and foundational initiative for developing our Party’s ideology and theory. Over the past two decades, the project has served the overall national interest by focusing on the nation’s central task. It has generated a large number of high-quality research findings, and played a significant role in studying, researching and disseminating the Party’s innovative theories, as well as in reinforcing the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological sphere.

On the new journey in the new era, we must continue to uphold fundamental principles and break new ground. We should focus on studying and applying the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and reinforce our efforts to research and interpret the Thought from a systematic and academic perspective. We should disseminate the outcomes in more targeted and results-oriented ways, and foster broader and deeper public endorsement of the Party’s innovative theories. We must adhere to the Two Integrations, base our theories on China’s realities, sustain China’s cultural heritage, and lay solid academic foundations. We should examine the critical requirements for building a great country and advancing national rejuvenation through Chinese modernization, accelerate the development of China’s knowledge system in philosophy and social sciences, and nurture high-caliber theorists, thereby making a greater contribution to adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of our times.
