CPC: Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era

The Communist Party of China (CPC) rolled out the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era at the opening session of its 19th national congress Wednesday.

Xi defined the components of the thought while delivering a report at the opening session of the congress, China's most significant political event in five years.

The Party has been guided by Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Theory of Three Represents, and the Scientific Outlook on Development.

The CPC has adopted an entirely new perspective to deepen its understanding of the laws that underlie governance by the Communist Party, the development of socialism, and the evolution of human society, Xi said.

The Party has undertaken theoretical explorations and achieved major theoretical innovations, "ultimately giving shape to the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era," he said.
