The Central Committee conducted two rounds of soliciting opinions within a certain range of the party, with over 4,700 people providing feedback, and publicly solicited opinions from society through the internet, collecting over 8.5 million pieces of feedback, which concentrated the practical experience and theoretical innovation achievements of the party and the people in the new era, gathered the wisdom of the entire party and society, responded to the expectations of the people, and will have a significant and far-reaching impact on the party's unity and leadership of the people in comprehensively building a modern socialist country and advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The report of the 20th National Congress summarizes and encapsulates the great changes of the past decade from sixteen aspects.

Achieve the "two combinations" and "six musts" to promote the sinicization and modernization of Marxism.
The second part of the report of the 20th National Congress specifically discusses theoretical innovation. Sun Yeli, Deputy Minister of the Central Propaganda Department, stated that Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is contemporary Chinese Marxism and 21st-century Marxism, representing the essence of Chinese culture and spirit in the current era, achieving a new leap in the sinicization and modernization of Marxism. The main content of this thought was summarized in the 19th National Congress and the sixth plenary session of the 19th Central Committee, and we must adhere to it for a long time and continuously enrich and develop it.

On the morning of October 24, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a press conference to introduce and interpret the report of the 20th National Congress. Chen Yixin, Secretary-General of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Jiang Jinquan, Director of the Central Policy Research Office, Mu Hong, Deputy Director of the Central Reform Office responsible for daily work and Deputy Director of the National Development and Reform Commission, Wang Jianxin, Minister of the Publicity Department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and National Supervisory Commission, Tang Fangyu, Deputy Director of the General Office of the Central Committee and Director of the Research Office, and Sun Yeli, Deputy Minister of the Central Propaganda Department, along with other relevant officials, interpreted the report of the 20th National Congress and answered questions from reporters.

The report of the 20th National Congress elaborated on the "two combinations," which are to combine the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific realities and with the excellent traditional culture of China. Sun Yeli stated that this "two combinations" deepened our party's understanding of the regularity of adhering to and developing Marxism, and is also the key to understanding and grasping Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.
"The first combination, combining with China's specific realities, is something our party has always emphasized and adhered to. It is the most valuable experience in the hundred-year history of the Communist Party of China and a magic weapon for the continuous success of the party's cause," Sun Yeli stated. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized in the report that "we cannot treat Marxism as an unchanging dogma," and stressed that "we must adhere to the liberation of thought, seek truth from facts, keep pace with the times, and be pragmatic, starting from reality." This is the essence of our party's ideological line, and Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is formed in accordance with this ideological line, and it will continue to enrich and develop in accordance with this ideological line.
"The second combination is that it must be combined with the excellent traditional culture of China. This was proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping at the centenary celebration of the founding of the party, and the report of the 20th National Congress further elaborated on it. This is another major innovation in the party's theory, creating a new pattern of theoretical innovation for our party," Sun Yeli stated. This is a profound summary of history, a profound revelation of regularity, and a correct guidance for the future development of theory, representing a new awareness and new understanding of the Communist Party of China, as well as reflecting our strong cultural confidence and cultural consciousness as the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party elaborated on the worldview and methodology of Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, namely the "six musts": putting people first, maintaining self-confidence and independence, adhering to integrity and innovation, being problem-oriented, adopting a systematic perspective, and having a global outlook. "This profoundly reveals the theoretical character and distinct features of this scientific thought. We must firmly grasp these basic points in learning and practicing this thought and always adhere to these basic points," said Sun Yeli.
In response to a reporter's question, Sun Yeli stated that we firmly oppose other countries imposing their development models on China and will never "export" the Chinese model, nor will we require other countries to "copy" China's practices. The efforts of each country to independently explore a modernization path that suits its national conditions should be respected.
Taking high-quality development as the primary task of comprehensively building a modern socialist country highlights the overall and long-term significance of development quality.
The report of the 20th National Congress pointed out that high-quality development is the primary task of comprehensively building a modern socialist country and emphasized that this is an essential requirement of Chinese-style modernization.
Mu Hong, deputy director in charge of daily work at the Central Reform Office and deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, stated that entering a new era, the main social contradiction in our country has transformed into the contradiction between the people's growing needs for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development, with contradictions and problems in development increasingly reflected in development quality.

"The Central Committee emphasizes that implementing the new development concept and promoting high-quality development is a profound transformation related to the overall modernization construction. It is no longer simply about judging success by GDP growth rates, but rather achieving high-quality development where innovation becomes the primary driving force, coordination becomes an inherent characteristic, green becomes a universal form, openness becomes a necessary path, and sharing becomes the fundamental purpose," Mu Hong stated. Therefore, the report of the 20th National Congress places development quality in a more prominent position, reflecting the requirements of high-quality development in various aspects such as economy, society, culture, and ecology.
"The report of the 20th National Congress clearly identifies high-quality development as the primary task of comprehensively building a modern socialist country, further highlighting the overall and long-term significance of development quality."

It is a political declaration of our party's commitment to comprehensively governing the country according to law. From a theoretical perspective, this further enriches and develops Xi Jinping's thought on the rule of law, deepening the understanding of the laws governing the Communist Party of China in ruling the country, the laws of socialist rule of law construction, and the laws of the development of legal civilization in human society. It is a programmatic document for our party to promote the construction of a rule of law in China. From a practical perspective, this further deepens and expands the layout of the party and state work in the new era, indicating that comprehensively promoting the legalization of all aspects of national work is an important governance method for our party in governing the country.

Deploying to deeply promote the new great project of party building in the new era, proposing to improve the comprehensive and strict governance system of the party.
Tang Fangyu, deputy director of the General Office of the Central Committee and director of the Research Office, stated that comprehensively building a modern socialist country and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation hinges on the party, and the key lies in the party managing the party and comprehensively enforcing strict governance of the party. To accomplish the mission and tasks of the party in the new era and on the new journey, we must firmly uphold and strengthen the party's overall leadership and deeply promote the new great project of party building in the new era.
The report of the 20th National Congress separately lists a section to deploy "unswervingly enforcing strict governance of the party and deeply promoting the new great project of party building in the new era."

The 20th National Congress comprehensively considered opinions from all sides, responding to the wishes of party organizations at all levels and the broad masses of party members, and made appropriate amendments to the party constitution.
"The amended party constitution fully reflects the latest achievements of the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, fully reflects the new concepts, new thoughts, and new strategies for governing the country proposed by the Central Committee since the 19th National Congress, and fully reflects the fresh experiences of the party's work and party building. It has significant meaning for further promoting the new great project of party building in the new era," Tang Fangyu stated. The discussions and deployments regarding party building in the report of the 20th National Congress need to be studied and understood in conjunction with the report and the party constitution.
In response to a reporter's question, Tang Fangyu stated that the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party proposed to improve the comprehensive and strict governance system of the Party, which is the first time this has been mentioned in the report of the Party's National Congress. As a long-term ruling Marxist party and the largest political party in the world, the Party's grand goals and historical missions, the large scale and wide distribution of the Party's ranks, and the significant risks and severe challenges faced by the Party all determine that we can only comprehensively and strictly govern the Party in an overall, systematic, enduring, and high-standard manner, rather than in a partial, fragmented, temporary, or general way. This is necessary to build a well-structured, scientifically contented, fully equipped, and unified and efficient comprehensive and strict governance system of the Party.
It is necessary to always maintain a clear and firm understanding of solving the unique problems of large parties, and to remember that the comprehensive and strict governance of the Party is always on the way, and the Party's self-revolution is always on the way.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Party pointed out: "The key to comprehensively building a modern socialist country and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation lies in the Party. As the largest Marxist ruling party in the world, our Party must always win the support of the people and consolidate its long-term ruling position, and must always maintain a clear and firm understanding of solving the unique problems of large parties."
Wang Jianxin, Minister of the Publicity Department of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission, stated that the report of the 20th National Congress requires the whole Party to remember that the comprehensive and strict governance of the Party is always on the way, and the Party's self-revolution is always on the way. We must strengthen political supervision around adhering to the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, improve the institutional norms of the Party's self-revolution, and insist on strengthening the positive atmosphere and discipline with a strict tone, resolutely winning the tough and protracted battle against corruption.

On the morning of October 24, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a press conference to introduce and interpret the report of the 20th National Congress.

In response to a reporter's question, Wang Jianxin stated that in the past decade of the new era, the anti-corruption struggle has been magnificent and its achievements are remarkable, but the situation remains severe and complex. The struggle against corruption is a life-and-death battle; we can only advance and must not retreat, we can only win and must not lose. We must resolutely implement the strategic deployment of the 20th National Congress of the Party, maintain an overwhelming force, and simultaneously exert efforts to ensure that corruption is not dared, cannot, and does not want to occur, and resolutely win the tough and protracted battle against corruption.
