1, in a sense, China's choice of socialist road is the result of the in-depth development of world history. On the one hand, the leap-forward development of backward countries may come from the mutual reference and imitation of civilizations. In the pre-capitalist period, due to the restriction of communication, every nation was taking its own isolated development path. The creation of civilization is carried out separately in every place, so although people are reinventing and discovering every day, innovation is often to repeat the hard road that others have taken. World-wide communication and competition not only make the achievements of civilization universally exchanged, but also enable each nation or country to directly learn from the achievements of civilization in existing science and technology, economic production and even political system and choose the most favorable development model for itself. In this way, after the formation of world history, leap-forward development has become a routine and universal phenomenon in history. Avoiding duplication and taking fewer detours are the fundamental reasons why late-developing countries can quickly catch up with advanced countries.

On the other hand, China's socialist development is closely related to the division of labor in the bipolar world. The bipolar world division of labor is also the product of world history and the direct result of the development of the capitalist world market system. Although the development of capitalism makes the world more and more integrated, the development of each nation or country often shows imbalance in the process of integration. The relationship between ethnic groups depends on the development of productive forces, division of labor and internal communication of each ethnic group. Capitalist countries exploit and plunder backward countries by virtue of their first-Mover advantage, which leads to the polarization of the world, making backward countries attached to advanced countries and colonies attached to suzerain countries. The division of labor in the bipolar world provides the necessity for backward countries to achieve leap-forward development. Due to their subordinate position in the capitalist world division of labor system, backward countries cannot make themselves rich and strong through the capitalist road, which urges them to break away from convention and develop themselves in another way. This is the reason why China embarked on the road of socialist development.

The historical development of modern China proved this point. From 1840, China gradually fell into a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society. The danger of national extinction urges many people with lofty ideals to seek truth from the West and fantasize about making China rich and strong by developing capitalism. However, when the development of China's national capitalism just started, the major capitalist countries in the world have successively entered the stage of imperialism. In the stage of imperialism, capital export and competition for overseas colonies are of special significance. Therefore, the imperialist powers try their best to control the colonies and semi-colonies politically, militarily and economically, restrict the development of their national economy, ensure their own investment places and plunder backward countries. In this way, when China just embarked on the road of capitalist development, the possibility of its full development disappeared. Because of this, in old China, the development of national capitalism was always in a difficult situation, the development of national industry was slow and incomplete, and China was always in a state of poverty and backwardness. Since the capitalist road is impassable, then socialism is the inevitable choice. The extensive development of socialist movement in the Soviet Union and the establishment of socialist countries provide a new frame of reference for colonial and semi-colonial countries to get rid of the capitalist world market system and develop their national economy. On the basis of learning from the development experience of other countries, China's * * * production party led the people of the whole country to carry out the new-democratic revolution, thus crossing the "Kafting Canyon" of capitalism and realizing a leap in historical development. Comrade Deng Xiaoping pointed out in summing up the historical development of China: "People have raised such a question: If China takes the capitalist road instead of the socialist road, will the people of China stand up and China turn over?" Let's look at history. The Kuomintang has been engaged for more than 20 years, and China is still a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, which proves that the capitalist road cannot be successful in China. " "China cannot engage in capitalism, but must engage in socialism." It can be seen that the theory of world history provides a reasonable explanation for China to choose the socialist road: it is not the subjective will of some people or one party, but the civilized reference and bipolar division of labor in world history that makes China cross the "Kafting Canyon" of capitalism and move towards socialism without hesitation.

2。 China is in the primary stage of socialism, which is a scientific conclusion drawn from summing up the historical experience of socialist construction and correctly analyzing the national conditions since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. This thesis is an important foundation and part of Deng Xiaoping Theory, and it is the fundamental starting point for our party to formulate its line, principles and policies. The 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China further emphasized that China will be in the primary stage of socialism now and in the future for a long time, pointed out the extreme importance of accurately grasping this basic national condition, discussed the main characteristics, development process, main contradictions and fundamental tasks of the primary stage of socialism, and put forward the Party's basic program in the primary stage of socialism. This is of great and far-reaching significance to further unify the thinking of the whole party, unite the strength of the people throughout the country, and enhance our consciousness and firmness in implementing the party's line, principles and policies.

3. The report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China pointed out: "The fundamental reason for all the achievements and progress we have made since the reform and opening up comes down to: opening up the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics and forming the system of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory. Holding high the great banner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, the most fundamental thing is to adhere to this road and this theoretical system. " This important conclusion shows that our party's understanding of the law of socialist development has reached a new height and pointed out the direction for the development of the cause of the party and the state in the new century and new stage.

The road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics has been found by generations of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people through arduous exploration and numerous difficulties and twists and turns. This road is based on the basic national conditions, centering on economic construction, adhering to the four cardinal principles, persisting in reform and opening up, liberating and developing social productive forces, consolidating and perfecting the socialist system, building a socialist market economy, socialist democratic politics, advanced socialist culture and a harmonious socialist society, and building a prosperous, strong, democratic, civilized and harmonious socialist modern country.

Since the reform and opening up, under the guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics's great banner, China's economy and society have been developing continuously, people's living standards have been constantly improved, and comprehensive national strength has been continuously enhanced. The face of the people in China, the face of socialist China and the face of the * * * production party in China have all undergone historic changes. Facts have eloquently proved that Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road is the only correct way for us to realize the prosperity of our country and the happiness and well-being of our people. The reason why this road is completely correct and can lead the development and progress of China lies in that we not only adhere to the basic principles of scientific socialism, but also endow it with distinctive China characteristics according to the reality and characteristics of the times in China. In contemporary China, adhering to the Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road means truly adhering to socialism.

Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system was formed in the process of exploring Socialism with Chinese characteristics's road. This theoretical system is a scientific theoretical system including Deng Xiaoping Theory, Theory of Three Represents and Scientific Outlook on Development. This theoretical system adheres to and develops Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, and embodies the wisdom and painstaking efforts of several generations of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people to lead the people in their unremitting exploration and practice. It is the latest achievement of Marxism in China, the most precious political and spiritual wealth of the Party, and the ideological basis for the United struggle of the people of all ethnic groups in China.

In the historical process of reform and opening-up, our Party has combined upholding the basic principles of Marxism with promoting the sinicization of Marxism, and on this basis, it has achieved a series of new combinations and accumulated valuable experience in building socialism in a big country with a population of more than one billion. Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system is the scientific generalization and theoretical sublimation of these valuable experiences. It is rooted in the extensive practice of reform, opening up and modernization, originated in the critical period of historical turning point, enriched in the severe test at the turn of the century, and deepened at the time of profound changes in the world, national conditions and party conditions. It is the theoretical result of the combination of Marxism-Leninism and China. In contemporary China, adhering to Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system means truly adhering to Marxism.

Since the 1840 Opium War, the people of China have gone through numerous hardships and made great sacrifices, and finally embarked on the socialist road under the leadership of the China * * * Production Party. History has fully proved that only socialism can save China and only Socialism with Chinese characteristics can develop China and prosper China. Taking the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the choice of history, people and times. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the banner of the development and progress of contemporary China, and the banner of the United struggle of the whole party and people of all ethnic groups. To study and implement the spirit of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we must have a deep understanding of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road and Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory. We should strengthen our consciousness of adhering to the Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road and Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system, truly be "not afraid of any difficulties and obstacles, not confused by any interference", unswervingly adhere to this road and this theoretical system, and unswervingly adhere to and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Socialism with Chinese characteristics is an unprecedented undertaking. We should hold high the great banner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, continue to emancipate our minds, keep pace with the times, constantly study new situations, explore new problems, sum up new experiences, open up new situations, and constantly broaden the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, so as to make contemporary China Marxism more brilliant.
