Party maps out path to progress

Building cultural confidence and strength and securing new successes in developing socialist culture

To build a modern socialist country in all respects, we must develop a socialist culture with Chinese characteristics and be more confident in our culture. In our efforts to turn China into a country with a strong socialist culture, we will focus on upholding socialism with Chinese characteristics, rallying public support, fostering a new generation of young people, developing Chinese culture and better presenting China to the world.

We should uphold the foundational system for ensuring the guiding role of Marxism in the ideological domain. We will ensure that culture serves the people and serves socialism. We will follow the principle of letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, and we will encourage creative transformation and innovative development of traditional Chinese culture. Guided by the core socialist values, we will develop advanced socialist culture, promote revolutionary culture and carry forward fine traditional Chinese culture.

? Developing a socialist ideology that has the power to unite and inspire the people

We must ensure that the Party firmly exercises leadership over this work and that the responsibility system for it is fully implemented.

? Enhancing civility throughout society

We will continue the civic morality campaign, carry forward traditional Chinese virtues, foster stronger family ties, values and traditions, and raise the intellectual and moral standards of minors.

? Developing cultural programs and the cultural sector

We will encourage people-centered cultural creation and production of more outstanding works that inspire the people.

? Extending the reach and appeal of Chinese civilization

We will stay firmly rooted in Chinese culture. We will accelerate the development of China's discourse and narrative systems, better tell China's stories, make China's voice heard and present a China that is credible, appealing and respectable.
