Solidarity and unity

Centralized power is vital to a big country with complicated national conditions, such as China.

The CPC upholds democratic centralism, which is a combination of Democracy and centralism.

The CPC upholds intraparty Democracy. Major decisions of the Party and the country are made after hearing opinions and suggestions from different aspects to make decisions scientifically, democratically and in accordance with the law.

Decisions, once made by the CPC Central Committee, should be strictly implemented. All Party members should closely align themselves with the Central Committee in terms of direction, path, political stance and principles.

The Party exercises overall leadership and coordinates work in all areas. Under the CPC leadership, people's congresses, governments, supervisory, judicial, procuratorial and social organizations coordinate activities together which enhances their capabilities.

The mechanism of the Party's leadership shows clear advantages, said Xie Chuntao, vice-president of the Party School of the CPC Central Committee.

China's mechanism can guarantee the centralized, unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, and maintain political stability, policy continuity and administrative capacity after decisions have been reached, he said.

Global perspective

A global perspective has long been advocated by the CPC.

The CPC remains firm in pursuing independent development, and calls on all nations to understand the world based on universal laws, and make the world a better place.

Xi is committed to "building a community with a shared future for mankind", which has been written into vital documents of the United Nations.

Last year, China held the first import expo in Shanghai, the city where the first National Congress of the CPC took place. In 2016, the G20 Hangzhou Summit, held in Zhejiang province, the birthplace of the "Red Boat Spirit", led to the G20 Action Plan on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The vitalized CPC and socialism with Chinese characteristics not only explore the path toward modernization for developing countries but also provide Chinese wisdom and solutions for universal challenges.

The CPC is striving to achieve its first centenary goal－to complete the building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.

Once achieved, it will be a great cause with global impact made by a vast country of nearly 1.4 billion people, as well as strong proof of "striving for the cause of human progress", a promise made by the CPC.
