第一篇：中國共產黨黨章
中國共產黨員黨章（總綱）
中國共產黨章程
（中國共產黨第十六次全國代表大會部分修改，2002年11月14日通過）
總 綱
中國共產黨是中國工人階級的先鋒隊，同時是中國人民和中華民族的先鋒隊，是中國特色社會主義事業的領導核心，代表中國先進生產力的發展要求，代表中國先進文化的前進方向，代表中國最廣大人民的根本利益。黨的最高理想和最終目標是實現共產主義。
中國共產黨以馬克思列寧主義、毛澤東思想、鄧小平理論和“三個代表”重要思想作為自己的行動指南。馬克思列寧主義揭示了人類社會歷史發展的規律，它的基本原理是正確的，具有強大的生命力。中國共產黨人追求的共產主義最高理想，只有在社會主義社會充分發展和高度發達的基礎上才能實現。社會主義制度的發展和完善是一個長期的歷史過程。堅持馬克思列寧主義的基本原理，走中國人民自愿選擇的適合中國國情的道路，中國的社會主義事業必將取得最終的勝利。
以毛澤東同志為主要代表的中國共產黨人，把馬克思列寧主義的基本原理同中國革命的具體實踐結合起來，創立了毛澤東思想。毛澤東思想是馬克思列寧主義在中國的運用和發展，是被實踐證明了的關于中國革命和建設的正確的理論原則和經驗總結，是中國共產黨集體智慧的結晶。在毛澤東思想指引下，中國共產黨領導全國各族人民，經過長期的反對帝國主義、封建主義、官僚資本主義的革命斗爭，取得了新民主主義革命的勝利，建立了人民民主專政的中華人民共和國；建國以后，順利地進行了社會主義改造，完成了從新民主主義到社會主義的過渡，確立了社會主義基本制度，發展了社會主義的經濟、政治和文化。十一屆三中全會以來，以鄧小平同志為主要代表的中國共產黨人，總結建國以來正反兩方面的經驗，解放思想，實事求是，實現全黨工作中心向經濟建設的轉移，實行改革開放，開辟了社會主義事業發展的新時期，逐步形成了建設中國特色社會主義的路線、方針、政策，闡明了在中國建設社會主義、鞏固和發展社會主義的基本問題，創立了鄧小平理論。鄧小平理論是馬克思列寧主義的基本原理同當代中國實踐和時代特征相結合的產物，是毛澤東思想在新的歷史條件下的繼承和發展，是馬克思主義在中國發展的新階段，是當代中國的馬克思主義，是中國共產黨集體智慧的結晶，引導著我國社會主義現代化事業不斷前進。十三屆四中全會以來，以江澤民同志為主要代表的中國共產黨人，在建設中國特色社會主義的實踐中，加深了對什么是社會主義、怎樣建設社會主義和建設什么樣的黨、怎樣建設黨的認識，積累了治黨治國新的寶貴經驗，形成了“三個代表”重要思想。“三個代表”重要思想是對馬克思列寧主義、毛澤東思想、鄧小平理論的繼承和發展，反映了當代世界和中國的發展變化對黨和國家工作的新要求，是加強和改進黨的建設、推進我國社會主義自我完善和發展的強大理論武器，是中國共產黨集體智慧的結晶，是黨必須長期堅持的指導思想。始終做到“三個代表”，是我們黨的立黨之本、執政之基、力量之源。
我國正處于并將長期處于社會主義初級階段。這是在經濟文化落后的中國建設社會主義現代化不可逾越的歷史階段，需要上百年的時間。我國的社會主義建設，必須從我國的國情出發，走中國特色社會主義道路。在現階段，我國社會的主要矛盾是人民日益增長的物質文化需要同落后的社會生產之間的矛盾。由于國內的因素和國際的影響，階級斗爭還在一定范圍內長期存在，在某種條件下還有可能激化，但已經不是主要矛盾。我國社會主義建設的根本任務，是進一步解放生產力，發展生產力，逐步實現社會主義現代化，并且為此而改革生產關系和上層建筑中不適應生產力發展的方面和環節。必須堅持和完善公有制為主體、多種所有制經濟共同發展的基本經濟制度，堅持和完善按勞分配為主體、多種分配方式并存的分配制度，鼓勵一部分地區和一部分人先富起來，逐步消滅貧窮，達到共同富裕，在生產發展和社會財富增長的基礎上不斷滿足人民日益增長的物質文化需要。發展是我們黨執政興國的第一要務。各項工作都要把有利于發展社會主義社會的生產力，有利于增強社會主義國家的綜合國力，有利于提高人民的生活水平，作為總的出發點和檢驗標準。跨入新世紀，我國進入全面建設小康社會、加快推進社會主義現代化的新的發展階段。在新世紀新階段，經濟和社會發展的戰略目標是，鞏固和發展已經初步達到的小康水平，到建黨一百年時，建成惠及十幾億人口的更高水平的小康社會；到建國一百年時，人均國內生產總值達到中等發達國家水平，1
基本實現現代化。
中國共產黨在社會主義初級階段的基本路線是：領導和團結全國各族人民，以經濟建設為中心，堅持四項基本原則，堅持改革開放，自力更生，艱苦創業，為把我國建設成為富強、民主、文明的社會主義現代化國家而奮斗。
中國共產黨在領導社會主義事業中，必須堅持以經濟建設為中心，其他各項工作都服從和服務于這個中心。要抓緊時機，加快發展，實施科教興國戰略和可持續發展戰略，充分發揮科學技術作為第一生產力的作用，依靠科技進步，提高勞動者素質，做到效益好、質量高、速度快，努力把經濟建設搞上去。
堅持社會主義道路、堅持人民民主專政、堅持中國共產黨的領導、堅持馬克思列寧主義毛澤東思想這四項基本原則，是我們的立國之本。在社會主義現代化建設的整個過程中，必須堅持四項基本原則，反對資產階級自由化。
堅持改革開放，是我們的強國之路。要從根本上改革束縛生產力發展的經濟體制，堅持和完善社會主義市場經濟體制；與此相適應，要進行政治體制改革和其他領域的改革。開放包括對外對內的全面開放。要發展對外經濟技術交流與合作，更多更好地利用外來資金、資源和技術，吸收和借鑒人類社會創造的一切文明成果，包括西方發達國家的一切反映現代社會化生產規律的先進經營方式、管理方法。改革開放應當大膽探索，勇于開拓，在實踐中開創新路。
中國共產黨領導人民發展社會主義民主政治，建設社會主義政治文明。堅持擴大社會主義民主，健全社會主義法制，依法治國，建設社會主義法治國家，鞏固人民民主專政。堅持人民代表大會制度。堅持共產黨領導的多黨合作和政治協商制度。積極支持人民當家作主，切實保障人民管理國家事務和社會事務、管理經濟和文化事業的權利。廣開言路，建立健全民主決策、民主監督的制度和程序。加強國家立法和法律實施工作，使國家各項工作逐步走上法制化軌道。加強社會治安綜合治理，保持社會長期穩定。依法堅決打擊各種危害國家安全和利益、危害社會穩定和經濟發展的犯罪活動和犯罪分子。嚴格區分和正確處理敵我矛盾和人民內部矛盾這兩類不同性質的矛盾。
中國共產黨領導人民在建設物質文明、政治文明的同時，努力建設社會主義精神文明，實行依法治國和以德治國相結合。社會主義精神文明建設為經濟建設和改革開放提供強大的精神動力和智力支持，創造良好的社會環境。應當大力發展教育、科學、文化事業，尊重知識，尊重人才，提高全民族的思想道德素質和科學文化素質，弘揚民族優秀傳統文化，繁榮和發展社會主義文化。應當用黨的基本路線和愛國主義、集體主義、社會主義思想教育黨員和人民群眾，增強民族自尊、自信和自強精神，對黨員還要進行共產主義遠大理想教育，抵御資本主義和封建主義腐朽思想的侵蝕，掃除各種社會丑惡現象，努力使我國人民成為有理想、有道德、有文化、有紀律的人民。
中國共產黨堅持對人民解放軍和其他人民武裝力量的領導，加強人民解放軍的建設，充分發揮人民解放軍在鞏固國防、保衛祖國和參加社會主義現代化建設中的作用。
中國共產黨維護和發展國內各民族的平等、團結、互助關系，堅持實行和不斷完善民族區域自治制度，積極培養、選拔少數民族干部，幫助各少數民族地區發展經濟、文化，實現各民族的共同繁榮和全面進步。中國共產黨同全國各民族工人、農民、知識分子團結在一起，同各民主黨派、無黨派人士、各民族的愛國力量團結在一起，進一步發展和壯大由全體社會主義勞動者、擁護社會主義的愛國者、擁護祖國統一的愛國者組成的最廣泛的愛國統一戰線。不斷加強全國人民包括香港特別行政區同胞、澳門特別行政區同胞、臺灣同胞和海外僑胞的團結。按照“一個國家、兩種制度”的方針，完成祖國統一的大業。
中國共產黨主張積極發展對外關系，努力為我國的改革開放和現代化建設爭取有利的國際環境。在國際事務中，堅持獨立自主的和平外交政策，維護我國的獨立和主權，反對霸權主義和強權政治，維護世界和平，促進人類進步。在互相尊重主權和領土完整、互不侵犯、互不干涉內政、平等互利、和平共處五項原則的基礎上，發展我國同世界各國的關系。不斷發展我國同周邊國家的睦鄰友好關系，加強同發展中國家的團結與合作。按照獨立自主、完全平等、互相尊重、互不干涉內部事務的原則，發展我黨同各國共產黨和其他政黨的關系。
中國共產黨要領導全國各族人民實現社會主義現代化的宏偉目標，必須緊密圍繞黨的基本路線加強和改進黨的建設。堅持黨要管黨、從嚴治黨，發揚黨的優良傳統和作風，不斷提高黨的領導水平和執政水平，提高拒腐防變和抵御風險的能力，不斷增強黨的階級基礎和擴大黨的群眾基礎，不斷提高黨的創造力、凝
聚力、戰斗力，使我們黨始終走在時代前列，成為領導全國人民沿著中國特色社會主義道路不斷前進的堅強核心。黨的建設必須堅決實現以下四項基本要求：
第一，堅持黨的基本路線。全黨要用鄧小平理論、“三個代表”重要思想和黨的基本路線統一思想，統一行動，并且毫不動搖地長期堅持下去。必須把改革開放同四項基本原則統一起來，全面落實黨的基本路線，全面執行黨在社會主義初級階段的基本綱領，反對一切“左”的和右的錯誤傾向，要警惕右，但主要是防止“左”。加強各級領導班子建設，選拔使用在改革開放和社會主義現代化建設中政績突出、群眾信任的干部，培養和造就千百萬社會主義事業接班人，從組織上保證黨的基本路線和基本綱領的貫徹落實。
第二，堅持解放思想，實事求是，與時俱進。黨的思想路線是一切從實際出發，理論聯系實際，實事求是，在實踐中檢驗真理和發展真理。全黨必須堅持這條思想路線，積極探索，大膽試驗，開拓創新，創造性地開展工作，不斷研究新情況，總結新經驗，解決新問題，在實踐中豐富和發展馬克思主義。
第三，堅持全心全意為人民服務。黨除了工人階級和最廣大人民群眾的利益，沒有自己特殊的利益。黨在任何時候都把群眾利益放在第一位，同群眾同甘共苦，保持最密切的聯系，不允許任何黨員脫離群眾，凌駕于群眾之上。黨在自己的工作中實行群眾路線，一切為了群眾，一切依靠群眾，從群眾中來，到群眾中去，把黨的正確主張變為群眾的自覺行動。我們黨的最大政治優勢是密切聯系群眾，黨執政后的最大危險是脫離群眾。黨風問題、黨同人民群眾聯系問題是關系黨生死存亡的問題。黨堅持不懈地反對腐敗，加強黨風建設和廉政建設。
第四，堅持民主集中制。民主集中制是民主基礎上的集中和集中指導下的民主相結合。它既是黨的根本組織原則，也是群眾路線在黨的生活中的運用。必須充分發揚黨內民主，發揮各級黨組織和廣大黨員的積極性創造性。必須實行正確的集中，保證全黨行動的一致，保證黨的決定得到迅速有效的貫徹執行。加強組織性紀律性，在黨的紀律面前人人平等。加強對黨的領導機關和黨員領導干部的監督，不斷完善黨內監督制度。黨在自己的政治生活中正確地開展批評和自我批評，在原則問題上進行思想斗爭，堅持真理，修正錯誤。努力造成又有集中又有民主，又有紀律又有自由，又有統一意志又有個人心情舒暢的生動活潑的政治局面。
黨的領導主要是政治、思想和組織的領導。黨要適應改革開放和社會主義現代化建設的要求，加強和改善黨的領導。黨必須按照總攬全局、協調各方的原則，在同級各種組織中發揮領導核心作用。黨必須集中精力領導經濟建設，組織、協調各方面的力量，同心協力，圍繞經濟建設開展工作。黨必須實行民主的科學的決策，制定和執行正確的路線、方針、政策，做好黨的組織工作和宣傳教育工作，發揮全體黨員的先鋒模范作用。黨必須在憲法和法律的范圍內活動。黨必須保證國家的立法、司法、行政機關，經濟、文化組織和人民團體積極主動地、獨立負責地、協調一致地工作。黨必須加強對工會、共產主義青年團、婦女聯合會等群眾組織的領導，充分發揮它們的作用。黨必須適應形勢的發展和情況的變化，完善領導體制，改進領導方式，增強執政能力。共產黨員必須同黨外群眾親密合作，共同為建設中國特色社會主義而奮斗。

8、十六大修改黨章的必要性和基本考慮。
答：現行黨章是１９８２年９月黨的十二大通過的。根據形勢和任務的發展，１９８７年１１月，黨的十三大對部分條文作了修改；１９９２年１０月，黨的十四大對總綱和條文分別作了部分修改；１９９７年９月，黨的十五大對總綱部分作了個別修改。
十五大以來，我國改革開放和社會主義現代化建設取得歷史性進展，社會主義市場經濟體制初步建立，現代化建設第二步戰略目標順利實現，人民生活總體上達到小康水平。跨入新世紀，我國進入了全面建設小康社會、加快推進社會主義現代化的新的發展階段。在新世紀新階段，黨提出了新的發展目標和行動綱領，黨章中的相關內容需要進行調整。
這些年來，我們黨的自身建設也取得新的進展，積累了新的寶貴經驗。特別是江澤民同志提出的?三個代表?重要思想，集中反映了當代世界和中國的發展變化對加強黨的建設、推進中國特色社會主義偉大事業的根本要求，是對馬克思主義建黨學說的新發展。這也決定了有必要對黨章進行修改，在黨章中體現?三個代表?重要思想。
十六大修改黨章遵循的總的原則是：堅持以馬克思列寧主義、毛澤東思想、鄧小平理論和黨的基本路線為指導，認真貫徹?三個代表?重要思想，把江澤民同志十六大報告中確立的重大理論觀點和重大方針政策納入黨章，以適應新形勢新任務對黨的工作和黨的建設提出的新要求。
現行黨章是在全面總結我們黨的歷史經驗的基礎上，根據社會主義現代化建設的實際情況制定的，總體上能適應指導黨的建設的需要。因此，對黨章宜作小改，不作大改。對各方面提出的修改建議，堅持實踐證明是成熟的就改，不成熟的不改。這次黨章修改工作，突出了?三個代表?重要思想對新形勢下黨的工作和黨的建設的指導作用，堅持了與時俱進和改革創新的精神，在保持黨章整體框架不變的前提下，對一些內容作了適當修改或補充完善。這樣做，有利于維護黨章的權威性和保持內容的連續性，也有利于適應形勢的發展，使黨章能夠更好地指導當前和今后一個時期黨的工作和黨的建設。
9、黨章對黨的性質是如何作進一步闡述的？
答：十六大修改后的黨章，將黨的性質進一步表述為：中國共產黨是中國工人階級的先鋒隊，同時是中國人民和中華民族的先鋒隊，是中國特色社會主義事業的領導核心，代表中國先進生產力的發展要求，代表中國先進文化的前進方向，代表中國最廣大人民的根本利益。黨的最高理想和最終目標是實現共產主義。
10、黨章對中國共產主義青年團的性質是如何作進一步表述的？
答：中國共產主義青年團是黨的助手和后備軍。為了激勵廣大青年把胸懷共產主義遠大理想同堅定中國特色社會主義信念結合起來，在改革開放和現代化建設的偉大實踐中，努力學習，扎實工作，經受鍛煉，增長才干，在第十章第四十九條中，將共青團?是廣大青年在實踐中學習共產主義的學校?，改為?是廣大青年在實踐中學習中國特色社會主義和共產主義的學校?。
第二篇：中國共產黨黨章
積極響應黨中央的號召，貫徹執行省委省政府的部署，認真按照局黨組和局黨委組織動員的要求，深入扎實開展黨的群眾路線教育實踐活動。首先是通過學習，進一步提高認識。再次打開黨的十八大修訂的《中國共產黨章程》，最大的收獲是常學常新，最要牢記的是我們黨全心全意為人民服務的根本宗旨，最深的體會是進入黨的門，成為黨的人，就必須為黨盡職盡責，就應該為黨奮斗終生、為民奉獻終身，最重要的是明確了方向，認準了道路，提高了認識。
一、黨的章程指引我們前進的方向
結合黨的群眾路線教育實踐活動的要求，認真學習各有關材料。當重溫黨的章程的時候，從新的角度來學習，有了新的發現和新的體會。
黨的章程開篇就在總綱中指出：中國共產黨是兩個“先鋒隊”和“三個代表”，其核心都圍繞著廣大人民群眾，落腳點都是帶領著人民群眾、代表著人民群眾。黨章還指出：“黨在自己的工作中實行群眾路線，一切為了群眾，一切依靠群眾，從群眾中來，到群眾中去，把黨的正確主張變為群眾的自覺行動。我們黨的最大政治優勢是密切聯系群眾，黨執政后的最大危險是脫離群眾。黨風問題，黨同人民群眾聯系問題是關系黨的生死存亡的問題”。黨的章程旗幟鮮明，指明了什么是我們黨的群眾路線，走群眾路線就有優勢，脫離群眾就有巨大危險。這些都為我們指明前進的方向，聯系群眾就是力量，是共產黨戰勝一切艱難險阻，從勝利走向新的更大勝利的力量源泉。新的歷史時期，我們必須加強黨同人民群眾的血肉聯系，首先必須提高對堅持走群眾路線的認識，自覺投身于黨的群眾路線教育實踐活動中。在我們的XX工作中沿著黨章所指引的方向，把群眾路線作為我們黨的生命線和根本工作路線。以搞好XX業務工作為契機，扎根于群眾之中，為群眾排憂解難，想群眾之所想，急群眾之所急。真抓實干，繼承和發揚黨的密切聯系群眾的優良傳統和作風。克服困難，深入邊疆和基層，到支部所確定的聯系點上去，實地調研訪談，為基層排憂解難。
二、黨的章程照亮我們前進的道路
樹立和鞏固全心全意為人民服務思想是執政黨建設的根本要求。我們必須深刻領會這一要求，認真貫徹執行好，進一步增強全心全意為人民服務的意識。黨的章程在執政黨建設的要求中指出：“堅持全心全意為人民服務。黨在任何時候都把群眾利益放在第一位，同群眾同甘共苦，保持最密切的聯系，堅持權為民所用，情為民所系，利為民所謀，不允許任何黨員脫離群眾，凌駕于群眾之上”。黨章精辟地指出了共產黨路所走的道路是一條全心全意為人民服務的路，是以為人民謀利益為核心的路，聯系群眾強調的是“最密切”，內容豐富，形勢多樣，要把千千萬萬的人民群眾團結在共產黨的周圍，讓他們自覺自愿地跟黨走。我們共產黨人最重要的是要時刻牢記自己的執政黨地位，權如何用，情寄托何方，利為誰謀，豈止是大是大非問題，是關系到黨的生死存亡的大問題。黨員脫離群眾，甚至凌駕于群眾之上的危害可想而知。總書記指出：“我們要牢記全心全意為人民服務的根本宗旨，認真組織開展以為民務實清廉為主要內容的群眾路線教育實踐活動，始終保持同人民群眾的血肉聯系。要自覺遵守廉政準則，嚴于律己，正確行使人民賦予的權利，自覺接受群眾的監督，樂于接受監督”。總書記的要求明確而具體，為我們用好權、系真情、謀利益點亮了“路燈”。
因此，開展黨的群眾路線教育實踐活動具有重大的現實意義和深遠的歷史意義，現實當中確實存在一些沒有全心全意為人民服務的黨共產黨員，脫離群眾的黨共產黨員，不為群眾謀利益的黨共產黨員，甚至觸犯黨紀國法的共產黨員。讓人想起參觀云南省反腐倡廉警示教育活動上看到的那一幕一幕，觸目驚心，發人深省。以人為鏡可以知得失，以史為鏡可以知興替。歷史上關于歷史更替變化周期的史實，從太平天國的覆滅到蔣家王朝的命運，無論是古代還是近代都有許多重復類似的演繹。讓我們警醒，更加重視開展黨的群眾路線教育實踐活動。
三、黨的章程是規矩和方圓
黨的章程為我們指明了方向，照亮了道路。共產黨員進入黨的門，就必須走共產黨的路;成為黨的人，就必須為黨的事業盡職盡責，就應該為黨的奮斗目標而奮斗終生，為人民群眾民奉獻終身。黨的章程是我們行動的指南，共產黨人必須循規蹈矩才是正道。總書記指出：“沒有規矩，不成方圓。黨章是黨的根本大法，是全黨必須遵守的總規則，在各級黨組織的全部活動中都要引導廣大黨員、干部、特別是領導干部自覺學習黨章、遵守黨章、貫徹黨章、維護黨章、自覺加強黨性修養，增強黨的意識、宗旨意識、執政意識、大局意識，切實做到為黨分憂、為國盡責、為民奉獻”。這是黨和國家領導人對廣大黨員、干部、特別是領導干部的全面熱切要求，將黨的章程奉為黨的大法、黨員行為的總規則，首次將黨章提到前所未有的高度來認識和要求，各項要求環環緊扣，個個意識音外有音。回到黨章的深入學習體會中來，倍感開展黨的群眾路線教育實踐活動有著非常及時的時效意義。深入學習領會黨章，實踐黨章，檢查對照自己的差距，是開展黨的群眾路線教育實踐活動的一項非常重要的內容，作為一個活動主題應該切實提高我們每一個黨員對黨章的認識，作為一個專題活動，把黨章的學習領會與開展黨的群眾路線教育實踐的各項活動緊密結合起來，發揮基層黨組織、黨支部學習貫徹黨章的積極性和主動性，更好地組織開展黨的群眾路線教育實踐的各項活動。
四、努力完成好群眾路線教育實踐活動的各項任務
在參加黨的群眾路線教育實踐的各項活動中，結合我們所承擔的具體XX服務工作任務，對照著黨章找差距，認識不到位的，要加強學習，工作做得不夠的，沒做到的，我們要努力去做好、做足。努力完成好黨的群眾路線教育實踐活動安排部署的各項任務。
黨的群眾路線教育實踐活動的主要任務是教育引導黨員、干部樹立群眾觀點，堅持群眾路線，維護群眾利益，做好群眾工作，弘揚優良作風，解決突出問題，保持清廉本色。進一步提高黨員、干部思想認識，進一步轉變作風，進一步密切黨群干群關系，進一步樹立為民務實清廉形象。要堅持圍繞中心、服務大局，全面貫徹落實黨的十八大和省第九次黨代會提出的各項任務要求，把作風建設放在突出位置，凝聚黨和人民群眾的力量，為推動全省經濟社會跨越發展做我們應有的貢獻。
黨的群眾路線教育實踐活動的總要求是“照鏡子、正衣冠、洗洗澡、治治病”。我們每一位隊員都要按照這一要求認真去做，做出成效，做出新面貌，做出干勁，切實轉變我們的思想作風、工作作風和生活作風。努力發揮基層黨組織的戰斗堡壘作用，努力發揮黨員干部的先鋒模范作用，為實現全面建成云南小康社會的目標而努力奉獻。

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
society.The Communist Party of China leads the people in promoting socialist democracy.It integrates its leadership, the position of the people as masters of the country, and the rule of law, takes the path of political development under socialism with Chinese characteristics, expands socialist democracy, improves the socialist legal system, builds a socialist country under the rule of law, consolidates the people’s democratic dictatorship, and builds socialist political civilization.It upholds and improves the system of people’s congresses, the system of multiparty cooperation and political consultation under its leadership, the system of regional ethnic autonomy, and the system of self-governance at the primary level of society.It takes effective measures to protect the people’s right to manage state and social affairs as well as economic and cultural programs.It respects and safeguards human rights.It encourages the free airing of views and works to establish sound systems and procedures of democratic election, decision-making, administration and oversight.It strengthens state legislation and law enforcement so as to bring all work of the state under the rule
of law.The Communist Party of China leads the people in developing an advanced socialist culture.It promotes socialist cultural and ethical progress, combines the rule of law and the rule of virtue in running the country and works to raise the ideological and moral standards and scientific and educational levels of the entire nation so as to provide a powerful ideological guarantee, motivation and intellectual support for reform, opening up and socialist modernization.It adheres to Marxism as its guiding ideology, fosters the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics, promotes patriotism-centered national spirit and the spirit of the times centering on reform and innovation and advocates the socialist maxims of honor and disgrace.It works to enhance the people’s sense of national dignity, self-confidence and self-reliance, resist corrosion by decadent capitalist and feudal ideas and wipe out all social evils so that the people will have high ideals, moral integrity, a good education and a strong sense of discipline.It also needs to imbue its members with the lofty ideal of communism.The Party strives to develop educational, scientific and cultural programs, carry forward the fine traditional culture of the Chinese nation, and develop a thriving socialist culture.The Communist Party of China leads the people in building a harmonious socialist society.In accordance with the general requirements for democracy and the rule of law, equity and justice, honesty and fraternity, vigor and vitality, stability and order, and harmony between man and nature and the principle of all the people building and sharing a harmonious socialist society, the Party focuses its efforts on improving people’s lives by solving the most specific problems of the utmost and immediate concern to the people and strives to create a situation in which all people do their best, find their proper places in society and live together in harmony.The Party strictly distinguishes between the two different types of contradictions – those between ourselves and the enemy and those among the people – and works to handle them correctly.It will strengthen comprehensive measures to maintain law and order, and resolutely combat criminal activities that endanger national security and interests, social stability and economic development and bring criminals to justice in accordance with the law, so as to maintain lasting social stability.The Communist Party of China persists in its leadership over the People’s Liberation Army and other armed forces of the people, builds up the strength of the People’s Liberation Army, ensures that it accomplishes its historical missions at this new stage in the new century, and gives full play to its role in consolidating national defense, defending the motherland and participating in the socialist modernization
drive.The Communist Party of China upholds and promotes socialist ethnic relations based on equality, solidarity, mutual assistance and harmony, actively trains and promotes cadres from among ethnic minorities, helps ethnic minorities and ethnic autonomous areas with their economic, cultural and social development, and ensures that all ethnic groups work together for common prosperity and development.The Party strives to fully implement its basic principle for its work related to religious affairs, and rallies religious believers in making contributions to economic and social development.The Communist Party of China rallies all workers, farmers and intellectuals, and all the democratic parties, personages without party affiliation and the patriotic forces of all ethnic groups in China in further expanding and fortifying the broadest possible patriotic united front embracing all socialist workers, all builders of the cause of socialism and all patriots who support socialism or who support the reunification of the motherland.The Party will constantly strengthen the unity of all the Chinese people, including the compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions and in Taiwan as well as overseas Chinese.It will promote long-term prosperity and stability in Hong Kong and Macao and complete the great cause of reunifying the motherland in conformity with the principle of “one country, two systems.”
The Communist Party of China adheres to an independent foreign policy of peace, follows the path of peaceful development and a win-win strategy of opening up, takes both the domestic and international situations into consideration, and vigorously develops relations with other countries in order to bring about a favorable international environment for China’s reform, opening up and modernization.In international affairs, it safeguards China’s independence and sovereignty, opposes hegemonism and power politics, defends world peace, promotes human progress, and pushes for the building of a harmonious world of lasting peace and common prosperity.It develops relations between China and other countries on the basis of the five principles of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual nonaggression, noninterference in each other’s internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence.It strives for the constant development of good-neighborly relations between China and the surrounding countries and for the strengthening of the unity and cooperation between China and other developing countries.The Communist Party of China develops relations with communist parties and other political parties in other countries in accordance with the principles of independence, complete equality, mutual respect and noninterference in each

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
