The Jiangsu delegates to the 19th CPC National Congress have been engaged over the past days in the elaboration on Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.
The delegates agreed that this thought represents the latest achievement in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context, and is an important component of the system of theories of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
The delegates also spoke highly of the 14-point fundamental principles of the Thought, which ranges from ensuring Party leadership over all work to promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
The new thought brings the understanding of socialism with Chinese characteristics to a new height, and it turns a new page of times, the delegates said.
The core status and authority of Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, must be firmly safeguarded, said the Jiangsu delegates to the congress.
The delegates also remarked that as China enters a new era, the CPC must write a new chapter of 21st century Marxism with a broader vision to achieve the goals set at the milestone congress.
