Members of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee have unanimously noted that the establishment of Comrade Xi Jinping's core position on the CPC Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and the defining of the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is of decisive significance for driving forward the historic process of national rejuvenation.
中央政治局的同志一致認為，黨確立習近平同志黨中央的核心、全黨的核心地位，確立習近平新時代中國特色社會主義思想的指導地位，對推進中華民族偉大復興歷史進程具有決定性意義。

會議認為，黨的十八大以來，黨面臨形勢環境的復雜性和嚴峻性、肩負任務的繁重性和艱巨性世所罕見、史所罕見。

The historic achievements and shifts in the cause of the Party and the country were made possible fundamentally because General Secretary Xi Jinping, as the core of the CPC Central Committee and the whole Party, has steered a steady course at the helm, and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era has provided scientific guidance, the meeting noted.
黨和國家事業取得歷史性成就、發生歷史性變革，最根本的原因在于有習近平總書記作為黨中央的核心、全黨的核心掌舵領航，在于有習近平新時代中國特色社會主義思想科學指引。

The past 100 years of the Party have shown that resolutely upholding the core of the CPC Central Committee and the whole Party is key for the Party to forge consensus and make a decisive choice at critical times, and provides an important guarantee for the Party to progress steadily in solidarity and unity, the meeting said.
百年黨史給我們的一個重要啟示就是，堅決維護黨中央的核心、全黨的核心是黨在重大時刻凝聚共識、果斷抉擇的關鍵，是黨團結統一、勝利前進的重要保證。

Members of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee must take the lead in upholding Xi's core position on the CPC Central Committee and in the Party and in studying and implementing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the meeting noted.

The more historical wisdom the Party accumulates, the greater initiative it will take to master its own future, Xi said.
對歷史進程的認識越全面，對歷史規律的把握越深刻，黨的歷史智慧越豐富，對前途的掌握就越主動。

Xi noted that the campaign on studying the Party's history launched by the Party leadership this year within the Party and throughout the society is aimed at boosting confidence in history and enhancing solidarity and unity.
今年，黨中央決定在全黨全社會開展黨史總結、學習、教育、宣傳，就是為了增加歷史自信、增進團結統一。

一百年來，我們黨致力于為中國人民謀幸福、為中華民族謀復興，致力于為人類謀進步、為世界謀大同。

He added that this is where the Party's historical confidence is grounded and is the source of the Party's confidence in exercising long-term governance in China and in uniting the people and leading them in striding ahead.
這是我們黨具有歷史自信的最大底氣，是我們黨在中國執政并長期執政的歷史自信，也是我們黨團結帶領人民繼續前進的歷史自信。

Today, the CPC has proved itself worthy of the choice of history and the people, Xi said.
今天，我們完全可以說，中國共產黨沒有辜負歷史和人民的選擇。

He urged efforts to educate Party members, officials and the public, especially the young people, to enhance their historical confidence and strive forward with full confidence.
習近平強調，要教育廣大黨員、干部和全體人民特別是廣大青年堅定歷史自信、筑牢歷史記憶，滿懷信心地向前進。

Since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, the unity and solidarity of the Party, which is the Party's lifeline, has reached a new high with the concerted efforts from the whole Party, Xi noted.
習近平指出，黨的團結統一是黨的生命。黨的十八大以來，經過全黨共同努力，黨的團結統一達到了新的高度。

黨中央決定，黨的十九屆六中全會決議突出中國特色社會主義新時代這個重點。這對全黨在重大理論和實踐問題上統一思想、統一行動具有重大意義。

The CPC comes from the people, has its roots among the people, and is dedicated to serving the people, Xi stressed, noting that the CPC's third resolution on history aims to remind the whole Party to stay true to its original aspiration and founding mission.
習近平強調，我們黨來自人民、植根人民、服務人民。黨的十九屆六中全會作出黨的第三個歷史決議，就是要告誡全黨在新時代前進的征程上不忘初心、牢記使命。

The Party should always maintain its close bond with the people, Xi said.
始終保持黨同人民群眾的血肉聯系。

Highlighting the importance of struggle, Xi said under new circumstances of the era, the Party should make good use of the experience accumulated during the great struggle, carry forward the fighting spirit and build strength.
新的時代條件下，我們要總結運用好黨積累的偉大斗爭經驗，發揚斗爭精神，練就斗爭本領。

Xi called on the Party to maintain its mettle regardless of the hardships and dangers it faces, effectively cope with various risks and challenges -- both predictable and unexpected -- and advance socialism with Chinese characteristics.
保持越是艱險越向前的大無畏氣概，有效應對前進道路上各種可以預料和難以預料的風險挑戰，推動中國特色社會主義事業航船劈波斬浪、一往無前。

Xi asked members of the Political Bureau to have a great vision, care less about personal gains, take the lead in firming up ideals and convictions, and set an example for upholding the authority of the CPC Central Committee and its centralized, unified leadership.
習近平強調，中央政治局的同志要有大格局、大情懷，看淡個人得失、看開功名利祿，要帶頭堅定理想信念，要帶頭維護黨中央權威和集中統一領導。

習近平指出，召開中國共產黨第二十次全國代表大會，是中央政治局明年工作的首要政治任務。

During leadership elections and changes, officials in leading positions must strictly follow relevant discipline and rules, Xi said, urging efforts to educate and guide officials to bear the big picture in mind and focus on carrying out their duties.
今明兩年正值換屆。領導同志要嚴格遵守政治紀律和政治規矩，嚴格遵守組織紀律、換屆紀律。要教育引導領導干部服從大局、服從組織、服從安排。
