BEIJING, July 2 (Xinhua) -- To understand China today, one must understand the Communist Party of China (CPC), and to understand the CPC today, one must understand Xi Jinping Thought on Party Building, according to a think tank report on the Thought released Thursday.
The report, titled "Contemporary Features and Global Significance of Xi Jinping Thought on Party Building," was jointly released by the National High-Level Think Tank of the Party School of the CPC Central Committee (National Academy of Governance) and the National High-Level Think Tank of Xinhua News Agency.
In its glorious course of 105 years of unremitting struggle, the CPC has consistently strengthened itself, the report said, adding that it is adept at examining itself in light of the requirements of evolving times, maintaining a strong sense of concern for potential risks to keep itself vigilant, and refining itself in the spirit of self-reform.
The Thought upholds the integration of the basic tenets of Marxism with China's specific realities and its fine traditional culture, according to the report.
It embodies the practical experience and collective wisdom of the Party and the people, constitutes an important component of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and provides the fundamental guidance and action guide for advancing the great new project of Party building in the new era, the report said.
Grasping the trend of global political and economic development, the Thought profoundly answers the fundamental question of where political parties come from, where they stand, and where they are going, and addresses the question of why the CPC succeeded in the past and how it can continue to succeed in the future, the report stated. ■
