Constitution of the Communist Party of China

Revised and adopted at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on October 22, 2022

總綱

General Program

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、“三個代表”重要思想、科學發展觀、習近平新時代中國特色社會主義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；新中國成立以后，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。

The Communist Party of China is the vanguard of the Chinese working class, the Chinese people, and the Chinese nation. It is the leadership core for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and represents the developmental demands of China’s advanced productive forces, the orientation for China’s advanced culture, and the fundamental interests of the greatest possible majority of the Chinese people. The Party’s highest ideal and ultimate goal is the realization of communism.
The Communist Party of China uses Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Theory of Three Represents, the Scientific Outlook on Development, and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as its guides to action.
Marxism-Leninism reveals 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 Chinese Communists can be realized only when socialist society is fully developed and highly advanced. The development and improvement of the socialist system is a long historical process. By upholding the basic tenets of Marxism-Leninism and following the path suited to China’s specific conditions as chosen by the Chinese people, China’s socialist cause will ultimately be victorious.
With Comrade Mao Zedong as their chief representative, Chinese Communists developed Mao Zedong Thought by combining the basic tenets of Marxism-Leninism with the actual practice of the Chinese revolution. Mao Zedong Thought is the application and development of Marxism-Leninism in China; it is a body of theoretical principles and a summary of experiences, proven correct in practice, relating to China’s revolution and construction; and it is a crystallization of the collective wisdom of the Communist Party of China. Under the guidance of Mao Zedong Thought, the Communist Party of China led the Chinese people of all ethnic groups in the long revolutionary struggle against imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucratic capitalism, securing 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, the Communist Party of China successfully led the people in carrying out socialist transformation, completing the transition from New Democracy to socialism, establishing the basic socialist system, and developing a socialist economy, politics, and culture.

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，總結新中國成立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。

十六大以來，以胡錦濤同志為主要代表的中國共產黨人，堅持以鄧小平理論和“三個代表”重要思想為指導，根據新的發展要求，深刻認識和回答了新形勢下實現什么樣的發展、怎樣發展等重大問題，形成了以人為本、全面協調可持續發展的科學發展觀。科學發展觀是同馬克思列寧主義、毛澤東思想、鄧小平理論、“三個代表”重要思想既一脈相承又與時俱進的科學理論，是馬克思主義關于發展的世界觀和方法論的集中體現，是馬克思主義中國化重大成果，是中國共產黨集體智慧的結晶，是發展中國特色社會主義必須長期堅持的指導思想。

十八大以來，以習近平同志為主要代表的中國共產黨人，堅持把馬克思主義基本原理同中國具體實際相結合、同中華優秀傳統文化相結合，科學回答了新時代堅持和發展什么樣的中國特色社會主義、怎樣堅持和發展中國特色社會主義等重大時代課題，創立了習近平新時代中國特色社會主義思想。習近平新時代中國特色社會主義思想是對馬克思列寧主義、毛澤東思想、鄧小平理論、“三個代表”重要思想、科學發展觀的繼承和發展，是當代中國馬克思主義、二十一世紀馬克思主義，是中華文化和中國精神的時代精華，是黨和人民實踐經驗和集體智慧的結晶，是中國特色社會主義理論體系的重要組成部分，是全黨全國人民為實現中華民族偉大復興而奮斗的行動指南，必須長期堅持并不斷發展。在習近平新時代中國特色社會主義思想指導下，中國共產黨領導全國各族人民，統攬偉大斗爭、偉大工程、偉大事業、偉大夢想，推動中國特色社會主義進入了新時代，實現第一個百年奮斗目標，開啟了實現第二個百年奮斗目標新征程。

After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Chinese Communists, with Comrade Deng Xiaoping as their chief representative, analyzed both positive and negative experience gained since the founding of the People’s Republic, emancipated the mind, and sought truth from facts. They shifted the focus of the whole Party’s work onto economic development and introduced reform and opening up, thereby ushering in a new era of development in socialism; they gradually formulated the line, principles, and policies for building socialism with Chinese characteristics, brought clarity to basic questions on building, consolidating, and developing socialism in China, and thus established Deng Xiaoping Theory. Deng Xiaoping Theory is the product of combining Marxism-Leninism’s basic tenets with practice in contemporary China and the particular features of the era; it is a continuation and development of Mao Zedong Thought under new historical conditions; it represents a new stage for the development of Marxism in China; it is the Marxism of contemporary China and a crystallization of the collective wisdom of the Communist Party of China; and it guides the continuous progression of China’s socialist modernization.
After the Fourth Plenary Session of the 13th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Chinese Communists, with Comrade Jiang Zemin as their chief representative, through developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in practice, deepened their understanding of what socialism is and how to build it, and what kind of party to build and how to build it, and gathered valuable new experience in governing the Party and the country, thus forming the Theory of Three Represents. The Theory of Three Represents, which is a continuation and development of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, and Deng Xiaoping Theory, reflects new demands that the developments and changes in today’s world and in China have placed on the Party and the government in their work. A powerful theoretical tool for strengthening and improving Party building and promoting the self-improvement and development of China’s socialism, it is a crystallization of the collective wisdom of the Communist Party of China and a guiding ideology that the Party must uphold in the long term. Always ensuring the Theory of Three Represents is practiced is the foundation of the Party’s own development, the cornerstone of governance by the Party, and the source of the Party’s strength.
After the Party’s 16th National Congress, Chinese Communists, with Comrade Hu Jintao as their chief representative, continued to take Deng Xiaoping Theory and the Theory of Three Represents as their guide. On the basis of the new demands of development they forged a deep understanding of and answered major questions, including what kind of development to pursue and how to pursue it in a new situation, thus forming the Scientific Outlook on Development, which puts people first and calls for comprehensive, balanced, and sustainable development. The Scientific Outlook on Development is a scientific theory that continues in congruence with Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, and the Theory of Three Represents, while advancing with the times. It fully embodies the Marxist worldview and methodology on development and represents a major achievement in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context. It is a crystallization of the collective wisdom of the Communist Party of China and a guiding ideology that must be upheld long term in developing socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Since the Party’s 18th National Congress, Chinese Communists, with Comrade Xi Jinping as their chief representative, integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with China’s specific realities and fine traditional culture, have provided sound answers to major questions of our times, such as what kind of socialism with Chinese characteristics the new era requires us to uphold and develop and how we should uphold and develop it, thus giving shape to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. The Thought is a continuation and development of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Theory of Three Represents, and the Scientific Outlook on Development. It is the Marxism of contemporary China and of the 21st century, embodying the best of Chinese culture and ethos of this era. It represents a crystallization of the practical experience and collective wisdom of the Party and the people, an important component of the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and a guide to action for the entire Party and all the Chinese people to strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and must be upheld long term and constantly developed. Under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the Communist Party of China has led the Chinese people of all ethnic groups in a concerted effort to carry out a great struggle, develop a great project, advance a great cause, and realize a great dream, ushering in a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, fulfilling the First Centenary Goal, and embarking on the new journey to accomplish the Second Centenary Goal.

改革開放以來我們取得一切成績和進步的根本原因，歸結起來就是：開辟了中國特色社會主義道路，形成了中國特色社會主義理論體系，確立了中國特色社會主義制度，發展了中國特色社會主義文化。全黨同志要倍加珍惜、長期堅持和不斷發展黨歷經艱辛開創的這條道路、這個理論體系、這個制度、這個文化，高舉中國特色社會主義偉大旗幟，堅定道路自信、理論自信、制度自信、文化自信，發揚斗爭精神，增強斗爭本領，貫徹黨的基本理論、基本路線、基本方略，為實現推進現代化建設、完成祖國統一、維護世界和平與促進共同發展這三大歷史任務，實現第二個百年奮斗目標、實現中華民族偉大復興的中國夢而奮斗。

中國共產黨自成立以來，始終把為中國人民謀幸福、為中華民族謀復興作為自己的初心使命，歷經百年奮斗，從根本上改變了中國人民的前途命運，開辟了實現中華民族偉大復興的正確道路，展示了馬克思主義的強大生命力，深刻影響了世界歷史進程，鍛造了走在時代前列的中國共產黨。經過長期實踐，積累了堅持黨的領導、堅持人民至上、堅持理論創新、堅持獨立自主、堅持中國道路、堅持胸懷天下、堅持開拓創新、堅持敢于斗爭、堅持統一戰線、堅持自我革命的寶貴歷史經驗，這是黨和人民共同創造的精神財富，必須倍加珍惜、長期堅持，并在實踐中不斷豐富和發展。

Ultimately, the fundamental reason for all of China’s achievements and progress since reform and opening up began is that the Party has forged a path, formed a theoretical system, established a system, and developed a culture for socialism with Chinese characteristics. All Party members must cherish deeply, uphold long term, and continue to develop this path, this theoretical system, this socialist system, and this culture, which the Party has developed through great hardship. All Party members must hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, have firm confidence in its path, theory, system, and culture, carry forward the fighting spirit and build up our fighting ability, implement the Party’s basic theory, basic line, and basic policy, and strive to fulfill the three historic tasks of advancing modernization, achieving China’s reunification, and safeguarding world peace and promoting common development, and realize the Second Centenary Goal and the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.
Since its founding, the Communist Party of China has remained true to its original aspiration and founding mission of seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation. Through its endeavors over the past century, the Party has fundamentally transformed the future of the Chinese people, opened up the right path for achieving rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, demonstrated the strong vitality of Marxism, profoundly influenced the course of world history, and made itself a forerunner of the times. Based on long-term practice, the Party has gained valuable historical experience in the following respects: upholding the Party’s leadership, putting the people first, advancing theoretical innovation, staying independent, following the Chinese path, maintaining a global vision, breaking new ground, standing up for ourselves, promoting the united front, and remaining committed to self-reform. These points are a rich source of inspiration that the Party and the people have created together. We must cherish them, uphold them over the long term, and continue to enrich and develop them through practice.

我國正處于并將長期處于社會主義初級階段。這是在原本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，以中國式現代化全面推進中華民族偉大復興。在現階段，我國社會的主要矛盾是人民日益增長的美好生活需要和不平衡不充分的發展之間的矛盾。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，按勞分配為主體、多種分配方式并存，社會主義市場經濟體制等基本經濟制度，鼓勵一部分地區和一部分人先富起來，逐步實現全體人民共同富裕，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美好生活需要，促進人的全面發展。發展是我們黨執政興國的第一要務。必須堅持以人民為中心的發展思想，把握新發展階段，貫徹創新、協調、綠色、開放、共享的新發展理念，加快構建以國內大循環為主體、國內國際雙循環相互促進的新發展格局，推動高質量發展。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，尊重勞動、尊重知識、尊重人才、尊重創造，做到發展為了人民、發展依靠人民、發展成果由人民共享。必須按照中國特色社會主義事業“五位一體”總體布局和“四個全面”戰略布局，統籌推進經濟建設、政治建設、文化建設、社會建設、生態文明建設，協調推進全面建設社會主義現代化國家、全面深化改革、全面依法治國、全面從嚴治黨。新時代新征程，經濟和社會發展的戰略目標是，到二〇三五年基本實現社會主義現代化，到本世紀中葉把我國建成社會主義現代化強國。

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和諧美麗的社會主義現代化強國而奮斗。

China is currently in the primary stage of socialism and will remain so for a long time to come. This is a stage of history that cannot be bypassed as China, which used to be economically and culturally lagging, makes progress in socialist modernization; it will take over a century. China’s development of socialism must begin from China’s own circumstances, follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and comprehensively promote national rejuvenation through the path of Chinese modernization. At the present stage, the principal contradiction in Chinese society is that between the ever-growing needs of the people for a better life and unbalanced and inadequate development. Owing to both domestic factors and international influences, a certain amount of class struggle will continue to exist for a long time to come, and under certain circumstances may even grow more pronounced, however, it is no longer the principal contradiction. In building socialism in China, the basic tasks are to further release and develop the productive forces and gradually achieve socialist modernization and, to this end, reform those elements and areas within the relations of production and the superstructure that are unsuited to the development of the productive forces. The Party must uphold and improve the basic economic systems including the system under which public ownership is the mainstay and diverse forms of ownership develop together, a system under which distribution according to work is the mainstay while multiple forms of distribution exist alongside it, and the socialist market economy. It must encourage some areas and some people to become well-off first, gradually realize the goal of common prosperity for all, and on the basis of developing production and social wealth, keep meeting the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life and promote people’s well-rounded development. Development is the Party’s top priority in governing and rejuvenating the country. The Party must commit to a people-centered philosophy of development. It should have an accurate understanding of this new stage of development, apply a new philosophy of innovative, coordinated, green, open, and shared development, accelerate efforts to foster a new pattern of development that is focused on the domestic economy and features positive interplay between domestic and international economic flows, and pursue high-quality development. The general starting point and criteria for judging each item of the Party’s work are that it must benefit the development of the socialist productive forces, be conducive to increasing socialist China’s overall strength, and help to improve the people’s living standards. The Party must respect labor, knowledge, talent, and creativity and ensure that development is for the people and relies on the people, and that its fruits are shared among the people. In accordance with the Five-Sphere Integrated Plan and the Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the Party must promote coordinated economic, political, cultural, social, and ecological advancement, and coordinate efforts to build a modern socialist country in all respects, comprehensively deepen reform, fully advance the law-based governance of China, and strengthen Party self-governance in every respect. On the new journey in the new era, the strategic objectives of economic and social development are to basically realize socialist modernization by 2035 and build China into a great modern socialist country by the middle of this century.
The basic line of the Communist Party of China in the primary stage of socialism is to lead all the people of China together in a self-reliant and pioneering effort, making economic development the central task, upholding the Four Cardinal Principles, and remaining committed to reform and opening up, so as to see China becomes a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious, and beautiful.

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。要實施科教興國戰略、人才強國戰略、創新驅動發展戰略、鄉村振興戰略、區域協調發展戰略、可持續發展戰略、軍民融合發展戰略，充分發揮科學技術作為第一生產力的作用，充分發揮人才作為第一資源的作用，充分發揮創新作為引領發展第一動力的作用，依靠科技進步，提高勞動者素質，促進國民經濟更高質量、更有效率、更加公平、更可持續、更為安全發展。

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。只有改革開放，才能發展中國、發展社會主義、發展馬克思主義。要全面深化改革，完善和發展中國特色社會主義制度，推進國家治理體系和治理能力現代化。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。要堅持對外開放的基本國策，吸收和借鑒人類社會創造的一切文明成果。改革開放應當大膽探索，勇于開拓，提高改革決策的科學性，更加注重改革的系統性、整體性、協同性，在實踐中開創新路。

In leading the cause of socialism, the Communist Party of China must continue its commitment to economic development as the central task, and all other work must take an ancillary role and serve this center. The Party shall implement the strategy for invigorating China through science and education, the strategy on developing a quality work force, the innovation-driven development strategy, the rural vitalization strategy, the coordinated regional development strategy, the sustainable development strategy, and the military-civilian integration strategy. It shall give full play to the role of science and technology as primary productive forces, the role of talent as the primary resource, and the role of innovation as the primary force driving development, draw on advances in science and technology, improve the quality of the country’s workforce, and ensure higher-quality and more efficient, equitable, sustainable, and secure development of the economy.
The Four Cardinal Principles—to keep to the path of socialism, to uphold the people’s democratic dictatorship, to uphold the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and to uphold Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought—form the foundation for building the country. Throughout the whole course of socialist modernization, the Party must adhere to the Four Cardinal Principles and oppose bourgeois liberalization.
A continued commitment to reform and opening up is the path to a stronger China. Only through reform and opening up can we develop China, develop socialism, and develop Marxism. The Party must comprehensively deepen reform, improve and develop the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and modernize China’s system and capacity for governance. The Party must fundamentally reform the economic structure that constrains the development of the productive forces and uphold and improve the socialist market economy; and in congruence with this it must undertake political structural reform and reform in other fields. The Party must uphold the fundamental national policy of making China open to the world and embrace and learn from all achievements of human society. In carrying out reform and opening up, the Party should be boldly explorative and brave in breaking new ground; the Party should improve the scientific nature of reform-related decision making, pursue reform in a more systematic, holistic, and coordinated way, and pioneer new approaches through practice.

中國共產黨要領導全國各族人民實現第二個百年奮斗目標、實現中華民族偉大復興的中國夢，必須緊密圍繞黨的基本路線，堅持和加強黨的全面領導，堅持黨要管黨、全面從嚴治黨，弘揚堅持真理、堅守理想，踐行初心、擔當使命，不怕犧牲、英勇斗爭，對黨忠誠、不負人民的偉大建黨精神，加強黨的長期執政能力建設、先進性和純潔性建設，以改革創新精神全面推進黨的建設新的偉大工程，以黨的政治建設為統領，全面推進黨的政治建設、思想建設、組織建設、作風建設、紀律建設，把制度建設貫穿其中，深入推進反腐敗斗爭，全面提高黨的建設科學化水平，以偉大自我革命引領偉大社會革命。堅持立黨為公、執政為民，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，不斷增強自我凈化、自我完善、自我革新、自我提高能力，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，建設學習型、服務型、創新型的馬克思主義執政黨，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六項基本要求：

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、科學發展觀、習近平新時代中國特色社會主義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，反對一切“左”的和右的錯誤傾向，要警惕右，但主要是防止“左”。必須提高政治判斷力、政治領悟力、政治執行力，增強貫徹落實黨的理論和路線方針政策的自覺性和堅定性。

第二，堅持解放思想，實事求是，與時俱進，求真務實。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，推進馬克思主義中國化時代化。

第三，堅持新時代黨的組織路線。全面貫徹習近平新時代中國特色社會主義思想，以組織體系建設為重點，著力培養忠誠干凈擔當的高素質干部，著力集聚愛國奉獻的各方面優秀人才，堅持德才兼備、以德為先、任人唯賢，為堅持和加強黨的全面領導、堅持和發展中國特色社會主義提供堅強組織保證。全黨必須增強黨組織的政治功能和組織功能，培養選拔黨和人民需要的好干部，培養和造就大批堪當時代重任的社會主義事業接班人，聚天下英才而用之，從組織上保證黨的基本理論、基本路線、基本方略的貫徹落實。

第四，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，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。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。

第五，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，尊重黨員主體地位，保障黨員民主權利，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，牢固樹立政治意識、大局意識、核心意識、看齊意識，堅定維護以習近平同志為核心的黨中央權威和集中統一領導，保證全黨的團結統一和行動一致，保證黨的決定得到迅速有效的貫徹執行。加強和規范黨內政治生活，增強黨內政治生活的政治性、時代性、原則性、戰斗性，發展積極健康的黨內政治文化，營造風清氣正的良好政治生態。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生動活潑的政治局面。

第六，堅持從嚴管黨治黨。全面從嚴治黨永遠在路上，黨的自我革命永遠在路上。新形勢下，黨面臨的執政考驗、改革開放考驗、市場經濟考驗、外部環境考驗是長期的、復雜的、嚴峻的，精神懈怠危險、能力不足危險、脫離群眾危險、消極腐敗危險更加尖銳地擺在全黨面前。要把嚴的標準、嚴的措施貫穿于管黨治黨全過程和各方面。堅持依規治黨、標本兼治，不斷健全黨內法規體系，堅持把紀律挺在前面，加強組織性紀律性，在黨的紀律面前人人平等。強化全面從嚴治黨主體責任和監督責任，加強對黨的領導機關和黨員領導干部特別是主要領導干部的監督，不斷完善黨內監督體系。深入推進黨風廉政建設和反腐敗斗爭，以零容忍態度懲治腐敗，一體推進不敢腐、不能腐、不想腐。

To lead the Chinese people of all ethnic groups to realize the Second Centenary Goal and the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation, the Communist Party of China must follow its basic line; uphold and strengthen the Party’s overall leadership; exercise self-supervision and strengthen self-governance in every respect; champion the Party’s great founding spirit comprised of the principles of upholding truth and ideals, staying true to the Party’s original aspiration and founding mission, fighting bravely without fear of sacrifice, and remaining loyal to the Party and faithful to the people; strengthen its long-term governance capacity, its advanced nature, and its purity; and, in the spirit of reform and innovation, make comprehensive moves to press ahead with the great new project of Party building. It must take enhancing its political building as the overarching principle and make comprehensive efforts to ensure that the Party’s political work is stressed, ideology is strengthened, organizations are consolidated, conduct is improved, and discipline is maintained, institutional development is always emphasized, and the fight against corruption keeps going, thus building the Party more effectively in all respects and using the Party’s own transformation to steer social transformation. It must uphold the principle that the Party builds itself in the interests of, and exercises governance for, the people, and see that its fine traditions and positive work style continue to thrive. It must constantly work to improve the way it exercises leadership and governance and strengthen its ability to resist corruption, prevent moral decline, and withstand risks. It must constantly strengthen its ability to purify, improve, reform, and excel itself. It must constantly strengthen its class foundation, expand its mass base, enhance its creativity, cohesion, and readiness to meet challenges, and build itself up as an ever-learning, service-oriented, and innovative Marxist governing party. The Party should thus be able to forever stand at the forefront of the times and become a strong core capable of leading all the people of China as they continue to advance along the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics. In building itself, the Party must work with firm resolve to meet the following six fundamental requirements.
1. Adherence to the Party’s basic line. The whole Party must use Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Theory of Three Represents, the Scientific Outlook on Development, Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and the Party’s basic line to achieve unity in thought and action, and must resolutely continue to do so in the long term. The Party must ensure that reform and opening up are carried out in unity with the Four Cardinal Principles, put its basic line into effect in all fields of endeavor, and combat all mistaken tendencies of the “Left” and Right, maintaining vigilance against Rightist tendencies, but primarily defending against “Leftist” tendencies. The entire Party must improve the capacity for political judgment, thinking, and implementation and become more self-motivated and resolute in implementing the Party’s theories, lines, principles, and policies.
2. Commitment to emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, advancing with the times, and being realistic and pragmatic. The Party’s line of thinking is to proceed from reality in all it does, to integrate theory with practice, to seek truth from facts, and to verify and develop truths through practice. All Party members must uphold this line of thinking, actively exploring and boldly experimenting, breaking ground and making innovations, and working with creativity; never cease to study new situations, reflect on new experiences, and solve new problems; and enrich and develop Marxism through practice and advance the adaption of Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of our times.
3. Adherence to the Party’s organizational line for the new era. The Party must fully implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era; focus on improving the organizational system to train high-caliber officials who are loyal to the Party, clean, and responsible and to bring together talented people from all fields who are patriotic and dedicated; and select officials on the basis of both moral integrity and ability, with greater weight given to integrity, and on the basis of merit, so as to provide a strong organizational guarantee for upholding and strengthening overall leadership of the Party and upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics. The whole Party must work to improve the political and organizational functions of Party organizations, train and select the good officials that our Party and people need, cultivate a large team of personnel who are capable of shouldering the mission of the times and well prepared to carry on the socialist cause, and bring together the brightest minds from all over, thus ensuring organizationally that the Party’s basic theory, basic line, and basic policy are fully implemented and applied.
4. Dedication to wholeheartedly serving the people. Besides the interests of the working class and the broadest possible majority of the people, the Party has no special interests of its own. It shall, at all times, give top priority to the interests of the people, share weal and woe with them, and maintain the closest possible ties with them. It shall exercise power for the people, demonstrate concern for them, and work in their interests, never allowing any member to become disengaged from the people or to behave as if they are above them. The biggest political advantage the Party has is its close ties with the people while the biggest potential danger it faces as a governing party is becoming distanced from them. Party conduct and the Party’s ties with the people are of paramount importance to the Party. In its own work, the Party shall follow the mass line, seeing that everything is for the people and everything relies on the people, exercising the principle of “from the people, to the people,” and translating the correct ideas of the Party into the voluntary action of the people.
5. Resolve in upholding democratic centralism. Democratic centralism combines centralism built on the basis of democracy with democracy under centralized guidance. It is both the Party’s fundamental organizational principle and the application of the mass line in everyday Party activities. The Party must fully encourage intraparty democracy, respect the principal position of its members, safeguard their democratic rights, and give play to the initiative and creativity of Party organizations at every level and all Party members. Correct centralism must be practiced; all Party members must keep firmly in mind the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, uphold the leadership core, and keep in alignment, and firmly uphold the authority and centralized, unified leadership of the Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, so as to ensure the solidarity, unity, and concerted action of the whole Party and guarantee the prompt and effective implementation of the Party’s decisions. The Party shall strengthen and regulate political activities within itself; make intraparty political activities more politically oriented, up-to-date, principled, and effective; cultivate a positive and healthy intraparty political culture; and foster a sound political ecosystem featuring honesty and integrity within the Party. In its internal political activities, the Party shall conduct correctly criticism and self-criticism, engage in debate over matters of principle, and uphold truth and rectify mistakes. The Party shall work hard to create a lively political situation featuring both centralism and democracy, both discipline and freedom, and both unity of will and personal sense of ease.
6. Firmness in exercising strict self-supervision and self-governance. Ensuring full and rigorous Party self-governance is an unceasing endeavor and that self-reform is a journey to which there is no end. Under the new circumstances, the tests the Party faces in governance, reform and opening up, the market economy, and the external environment are protracted, complicated, and serious; the dangers of a lack of drive, incompetence, disengagement from the people, inaction, and corruption are more pointedly confronting the whole Party. The Party shall see that strict standards and measures are applied throughout the process and in all aspects of its self-supervision and self-governance. The Party shall ensure self-governance is carried out in accordance with regulations and both symptoms and root causes of problems are addressed. The Party must constantly improve the system of Party regulations, give top priority to ensuring compliance with Party discipline, help its members become more organization conscious and have a stronger sense of discipline, and work to see that every member is equal before Party discipline. The Party shall ensure the principal and oversight responsibilities for full and rigorous Party self-governance are assumed; oversight of leading Party organs and of Party members in leadership positions, particularly those holding principal leadership positions, is strengthened; and the internal oversight system is constantly improved. The Party shall step up efforts to improve conduct, build integrity, and combat corruption; apply a zero-tolerance policy on corruption; and make integrated efforts to ensure that officials do not have the audacity, opportunity, or desire to become corrupt.

中國共產黨的領導是中國特色社會主義最本質的特征，是中國特色社會主義制度的最大優勢，黨是最高政治領導力量。黨政軍民學，東西南北中，黨是領導一切的。黨要適應改革開放和社會主義現代化建設的要求，堅持科學執政、民主執政、依法執政，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，促進經濟社會全面發展。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、監察機關，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、婦女聯合會等群團組織的領導，使它們保持和增強政治性、先進性、群眾性，充分發揮作用。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。

Leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential attribute of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and the greatest strength of this system. The Party is the highest force for political leadership. It exercises overall leadership over all areas of endeavor in every part of the country. The Party must adapt to the demands of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization, remain committed to practicing scientific, democratic, and law-based governance, and strengthen and improve its leadership. The Party must, acting on the principle of guiding the overall situation and coordinating the work of all sides, assume the role of leadership core among all other organizations at the corresponding levels. The Party must concentrate on leading economic development, organize and coordinate the strengths of all by uniting hearts and actions to focus work on economic development, and promote all-around economic and social development. The Party must practice democratic and scientific decision-making; formulate and implement the correct lines, principles, and policies; carry out its organizational, publicity, and educational work to proper effect; and give play to the exemplary and vanguard role of all Party members. The Party must act within the scope of the country’s Constitution and the law. It must ensure that the legislative, judicial, administrative, and supervisory organs of the state, economic and cultural organizations, and people’s organizations work actively on their own initiative, independently, responsibly, and cooperatively. The Party must strengthen its leadership over trade unions, the Communist Youth League, women’s federations, and other people’s group organizations, ensure they preserve and strengthen their political consciousness, advanced nature, and orientation toward the people, and give full play to their roles. The Party must adapt to developments and changing circumstances, improving its leadership system and style of leadership and strengthening its capacity for governance. Party members must cooperate closely with people outside the Party, endeavoring together to build socialism with Chinese characteristics.

第二章 黨的組織制度

Chapter II. The Party’s Organizational System

第十條 黨是根據自己的綱領和章程，按照民主集中制組織起來的統一整體。黨的民主集中制的基本原則是：

（一）黨員個人服從黨的組織，少數服從多數，下級組織服從上級組織，全黨各個組織和全體黨員服從黨的全國代表大會和中央委員會。

（二）黨的各級領導機關，除它們派出的代表機關和在非黨組織中的黨組外，都由選舉產生。

（三）黨的最高領導機關，是黨的全國代表大會和它所產生的中央委員會。黨的地方各級領導機關，是黨的地方各級代表大會和它們所產生的委員會。黨的各級委員會向同級的代表大會負責并報告工作。

（四）黨的上級組織要經常聽取下級組織和黨員群眾的意見，及時解決他們提出的問題。黨的下級組織既要向上級組織請示和報告工作，又要獨立負責地解決自己職責范圍內的問題。上下級組織之間要互通情報、互相支持和互相監督。黨的各級組織要按規定實行黨務公開，使黨員對黨內事務有更多的了解和參與。

（五）黨的各級委員會實行集體領導和個人分工負責相結合的制度。凡屬重大問題都要按照集體領導、民主集中、個別醞釀、會議決定的原則，由黨的委員會集體討論，作出決定；委員會成員要根據集體的決定和分工，切實履行自己的職責。

（六）黨禁止任何形式的個人崇拜。要保證黨的領導人的活動處于黨和人民的監督之下，同時維護一切代表黨和人民利益的領導人的威信。

Article 10: The Party is an integral body organized under its own program and Constitution and on the basis of democratic centralism. The Party’s basic principles of democratic centralism are as follows:
1) Individual Party members defer to Party organizations, the minority defers to the majority, lower-level Party organizations defer to higher-level Party organizations, and all organizations and members of the Party defer to the National Congress and the Central Committee of the Party.
2) Leading bodies of the Party at all levels, with the exception of their dispatched representative organs and the leading Party members groups in non-Party organizations, are generated by election.
3) The highest leading bodies of the Party are the National Congress and the Central Committee which it elects. The Party’s local leading bodies are the Party congresses at each level and the Party committees which they elect. Party committees are responsible and shall report their work to the Party congress at the same level.
4) Higher-level Party organizations shall listen regularly to the views of lower-level organizations and rank-and-file Party members, and respond quickly to the problems they raise. Lower-level Party organizations shall report on their work to and request instructions from higher-level Party organizations; at the same time, they shall handle, independently and responsibly, matters within their jurisdiction. Higher- and lower-level Party organizations shall exchange information and support and oversee each other. Party organizations at all levels shall practice transparency in Party affairs in accordance with regulations, helping Party members to be better informed of internal Party affairs and enabling them greater opportunity to participate.
5) Party committees at all levels shall function on the principle of combining collective leadership with individual responsibility based on the division of work. Decisions on all major issues shall be made through discussion by the Party committee concerned in accordance with the principles of collective leadership, democratic centralism, pre-meeting contemplation, and meeting-based decision making. Members of Party committees shall act in earnest to fulfill their respective obligations in accordance with the collective decisions made and the division of work.
6) The Party proscribes all forms of personality cult. It shall be ensured that the activities of Party leaders are subject to oversight by the Party and the people, while at the same time upholding the standing of all leaders who represent the interests of the Party and the people.

第十一條 黨的各級代表大會的代表和委員會的產生，要體現選舉人的意志。選舉采用無記名投票的方式。候選人名單要由黨組織和選舉人充分醞釀討論。可以直接采用候選人數多于應選人數的差額選舉辦法進行正式選舉。也可以先采用差額選舉辦法進行預選，產生候選人名單，然后進行正式選舉。選舉人有了解候選人情況、要求改變候選人、不選任何一個候選人和另選他人的權利。任何組織和個人不得以任何方式強迫選舉人選舉或不選舉某個人。

黨的地方各級代表大會和基層代表大會的選舉，如果發生違反黨章的情況，上一級黨的委員會在調查核實后，應作出選舉無效和采取相應措施的決定，并報再上一級黨的委員會審查批準，正式宣布執行。

黨的各級代表大會代表實行任期制。

Article 11: The election of delegates to Party congresses and members of Party committees, at all levels, shall reflect the will of the voters. Elections shall be held by secret ballot. Lists of candidates shall be fully deliberated and discussed by Party organizations and voters. The method of nominating a greater number of candidates than the number of persons to be elected may be adopted to directly carry out a formal election, or this method may first be used in a preliminary election to generate a list of candidates for the formal election that is to follow. Voters have the right to inquire about candidates, request a change in candidates, decline to vote for any of the candidates, or choose to vote for someone who is not a candidate. No organization or individual shall in any way compel a voter to vote or not vote for a candidate.
If the Party Constitution is thought to have been violated in any way during the election of a delegate to a local Party congress at any level or to a Party congress at the primary level, after investigation and verification, the Party committee at the next level up shall issue a decision to declare the election invalid and take appropriate measures, and report this decision to the Party committee at the next level up to be checked and approved before it is formally announced and implemented.
A tenure system shall be adopted for delegates to Party congresses at all levels.

第十二條 黨的中央和地方各級委員會在必要時召集代表會議，討論和決定需要及時解決的重大問題。代表會議代表的名額和產生辦法，由召集代表會議的委員會決定。

Article 12: The Central Committee and local committees at all levels shall, when necessary, convene a conference of delegates to discuss and make decisions on a major problem that requires prompt resolution. The number of delegates to attend and the procedures for generating the list of delegates shall be determined by the Party committee convening the conference.

第十三條 凡是成立黨的新組織，或是撤銷黨的原有組織，必須由上級黨組織決定。

在黨的地方各級代表大會和基層代表大會閉會期間，上級黨的組織認為有必要時，可以調動或者指派下級黨組織的負責人。

黨的中央和地方各級委員會可以派出代表機關。

Article 13: Every instance of a new Party organization being formed or an existing Party organization being dissolved must be decided on by a Party organization at a higher level.

City (including prefecture and league) and county (including county-level city, district, and banner) Party committees shall establish a discipline inspection system.

第十五條 黨的各級領導機關，對同下級組織有關的重要問題作出決定時，在通常情況下，要征求下級組織的意見。要保證下級組織能夠正常行使他們的職權。凡屬應由下級組織處理的問題，如無特殊情況，上級領導機關不要干預。

Article 15: When making a decision on an important issue affecting a lower-level organization, a leading body of the Party at any level shall, under normal circumstances, solicit the opinions of the lower-level organization. It shall be ensured that the lower-level organization is able to exercise its functions and powers as usual. Except in exceptional circumstances, no higher-level leading body shall interfere in any matter that ought to be handled by a lower-level organization.

第十六條 有關全國性的重大政策問題，只有黨中央有權作出決定，各部門、各地方的黨組織可以向中央提出建議，但不得擅自作出決定和對外發表主張。

黨的下級組織必須堅決執行上級組織的決定。下級組織如果認為上級組織的決定不符合本地區、本部門的實際情況，可以請求改變；如果上級組織堅持原決定，下級組織必須執行，并不得公開發表不同意見，但有權向再上一級組織報告。

黨的各級組織的報刊和其他宣傳工具，必須宣傳黨的路線、方針、政策和決議。

Article 16: Only the Central Committee of the Party has the power to make decisions on major national policies. The Party organization of a department or locality may make suggestions to the Central Committee with regard to such policies, but shall not make any decision or express their views outside the Party without authorization.
Lower-level Party organizations must resolutely implement the decisions of higher-level Party organizations. In the event that a lower-level organization believes a decision of a higher-level organization to be unsuitable for the specific circumstances of its locality or department, it may request that the decision be revised. If the higher-level organization decides to maintain its original decision, the lower-level organization must carry out the decision and refrain from publicly voicing any differences of opinion, but reserves the right to report the matter to a Party organization at the next level up.
Newspapers, periodicals, and other media used in publicity run by Party organizations at all levels must feature information on the lines, principles, policies, and resolutions of the Party.

第十七條 黨組織討論決定問題，必須執行少數服從多數的原則。決定重要問題，要進行表決。對于少數人的不同意見，應當認真考慮。如對重要問題發生爭論，雙方人數接近，除了在緊急情況下必須按多數意見執行外，應當暫緩作出決定，進一步調查研究，交換意見，下次再表決；在特殊情況下，也可將爭論情況向上級組織報告，請求裁決。

黨員個人代表黨組織發表重要主張，如果超出黨組織已有決定的范圍，必須提交所在的黨組織討論決定，或向上級黨組織請示。任何黨員不論職務高低，都不能個人決定重大問題；如遇緊急情況，必須由個人作出決定時，事后要迅速向黨組織報告。不允許任何領導人實行個人專斷和把個人凌駕于組織之上。

Article 17: In discussing and making decisions on a matter, Party organizations must uphold the principle of the minority respecting the majority. When a decision is being made on a major issue, a vote shall be held. Serious consideration should be given to the differing views of a minority. In case of disagreement on a major issue where the numbers in support of each view are closely matched, except in an emergency when action must be taken according to the majority view, the decision should be delayed and further investigation, research, and exchange of opinions should be undertaken before another vote is held. In exceptional circumstances, the disagreement may also be reported to the Party organization at the next level up and a verdict requested.
In the event that an individual Party member is to express a view on a major issue on behalf of his or her Party organization that goes beyond the scope of the organization’s existing decisions, the content must be referred to that organization for prior discussion and a decision, or referred to the Party organization at the next level up for instruction. No Party member, whatever his or her position, may act alone in making a decision on a major issue. In case of emergency, when a decision by an individual is unavoidable, the matter must be reported to his or her Party organization immediately after the event. No leader may make decisions arbitrarily or place him or herself above his or her Party organization.

第十八條 黨的中央、地方和基層組織，都必須重視黨的建設，經常討論和檢查黨的宣傳工作、教育工作、組織工作、紀律檢查工作、群眾工作、統一戰線工作等，注意研究黨內外的思想政治狀況。

In the event that the issues involved are important or complicated, or if a member is to be expelled from the Party, the case shall be reported to a Party commission for discipline inspection for examination and approval at the county level or above depending on the specific circumstances of the case.

When the plenary meeting is not in session, the decision may be taken first by the Political Bureau of the Central Committee or the standing committee of a local Party committee while awaiting confirmation at the plenary meeting of the Party committee. The use of such actions in disciplining a member or alternate member of a local Party committee at any level is subject to examination by the standing committee of the commission for discipline inspection at the next level up and shall then be submitted by the commission for discipline inspection to the Party committee at the same level as the commission for approval.

Article 43: When a Party organization is deciding on disciplinary action against a Party member, it should investigate and verify the facts as objectively as possible. The Party member in question must be shown the disciplinary decision and the facts it is based on, and be given the chance to offer an explanation and speak in his or her own defense. If the member does not accept the decision, he or she may appeal, and the Party organization concerned must promptly manage or forward the appeal, and must not withhold or suppress it. Those who persist with mistaken views or unjustifiable claims shall be subject to reprimand and education.

第四十四條 黨組織如果在維護黨的紀律方面失職，必須問責。

Article 44: Should a Party organization fail to uphold Party discipline, it must be held accountable.
In the event that a Party organization seriously violates Party discipline and is unable to rectify the mistake on its own, the Party committee at the next level up should, after establishing and verifying the facts, make a decision to reorganize or dissolve the organization based on the seriousness of the case, report this decision to the Party committee at the next level up for examination and approval, and then formally announce and execute the decision.
