'Four Greats' back up basic Party line

In his report to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on Wednesday, General Secretary Xi Jinping dedicated a large chapter to the "Four Greats" - great struggle, great project, great cause and great dream - which has attracted wide attention.

"This great struggle, great project, great cause and great dream are closely connected, flow seamlessly into each other, and are mutually reinforcing," Xi said, stressing that the great new project of Party building plays a decisive role, and all work to advance this project must go hand in hand with and be geared toward the struggle, the cause and the dream.

The "Four Greats" stem from China's historical and realistic logic. From the perspective of history, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has been the shared dream of all Chinese people since the First Opium War (1840-42). And history shows only the CPC leadership can guide China toward realizing socialist modernization, and make it a leading global power again.
