The communist party of china in 100 keywords

Foreign languages press, november 2017

July 1, 2017 marked the 96th anniversary of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

The Party has undertaken a tremendous battle and experienced both successes and challenges during these eventful years. Over the course of almost a century, the CPC has developed progressively from a small party with just over 50 members to a party of leadership that has won a great victory and achieved some brilliant successes. The story of its fight paints a historic picture scroll and represents precious spiritual wealth.

Future-oriented and self-motivated, the CPC forges ahead in the face of any adversity. Now finding itself at a new starting point, the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at its core is leading the whole Party and the Chinese people of all ethnic groups toward the realization of the Two Centenary Goals and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

For a better understanding of the CPC, we have selected 100 keywords, derived from the perspective of history, reality, theory and practice, which together form this book.

Certainly, with a history so vast and splendid, a wealth of practical experience, and an ideology so solid and profound, it is hard to tell the story of the CPC in just 100 keywords. Therefore, the book serves only as a preliminary guide for readers to learn about and understand the CPC—A key to open the entrance gate.

The compilation is based on the latest theoretical guidance of the CPC Central Committee, as well as Selected Important Literature Since the Eighteenth National Congress (Volumesⅰandⅱ), Xi Jinping: The Governance of China, and Xi Jinping: Series of Important Speeches (2016 Edition), and takes A History of the Communist Party of China (Volumesⅰandⅱ), The Communist Party of China for Ninety Years and other important writings on Party history for reference.

The 100 keywords had been proposed by the end of March 2016, and were referenced in the latest version of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee.
