China has seen the basic needs of over a billion people met, has basically made it possible for people to live decent lives, and will soon bring the building of a moderately prosperous society in an all-around way to a successful completion. The needs to be met for the people to live a better life are increasingly broad. Not only have their material and cultural needs grown; their demands for democracy, rule of law, fairness and justice, security, and a better environment are increasing. While China's overall productive forces have significantly improved and in many areas our production capacity leads the world, the more prominent problem is that our development is unbalanced and inadequate. This has become the main constraining factor in meeting the people's increasing needs for a better life."

We must realize that the evolution of the principal social contradiction has not changed our judgment of the current historical stage of socialism in our country. China is still and will long remain in the primary stage of socialism, and China's international status as the world's largest developing country has not changed. The whole Party must be completely clear about this fundamental dimension of our national context and base our work on this most important reality -- the primary stage of socialism. The whole Party must firmly adhere to the Party's basic line -- the lifeline of the Party and the country and a line of happiness for the people, and lead and unite people of all ethnic groups across the country in taking economic development as the central task, upholding the four cardinal principles, persisting in reform and opening-up, relying on our own efforts and working hard for making China a prosperous, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful modernized and powerful socialist state."

Storyline


Xi Jinping said Wednesday that the principal contradiction facing Chinese society has evolved, as socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era.

Xi made the remarks in a report to the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) at the Great Hall of the People in central Beijing.

"China has entered a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The principal contradiction facing Chinese society has evolved into the contradiction between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people’s ever-growing needs for a better life," he said.

Previously the principal contradiction was described as one between the ever-growing material and cultural needs of the people and backward social production.

"China has seen the basic needs of over a billion people met, has basically made it possible for people to live decent lives, and will soon bring the building of a moderately prosperous society in an all-around way to a successful completion. The needs to be met for the people to live a better life are increasingly broad. Not only have their material and cultural needs grown; their demands for democracy, rule of law, fairness and justice, security, and a better environment are increasing. While China's overall productive forces have significantly improved and in many areas our production capacity leads the world, the more prominent problem is that our development is unbalanced and inadequate. This has become the main constraining factor in meeting the people's increasing needs for a better life," he said.

It imperative to realize that the evolution of the principal contradiction facing our society represents "a historic shift that affects the whole landscape and that creates many new demands for the work of the Party and the country," Xi said.

"We must realize that the evolution of the principal social contradiction has not changed our judgment of the current historical stage of socialism in our country. China is still and will long remain in the primary stage of socialism, and China's international status as the world's largest developing country has not changed," said Xi.

"The whole Party must be completely clear about this fundamental dimension of our national context and base our work on this most important reality -- the primary stage of socialism. The whole Party must firmly adhere to the Party's basic line -- the lifeline of the Party and the country and a line of happiness for the people, and lead and unite people of all ethnic groups across the country in taking economic development as the central task, upholding the four cardinal principles, persisting in reform and opening-up, relying on our own efforts and working hard for making China a prosperous, democratic, civilized, harmonious and beautiful modernized and powerful socialist state," said Xi.

The 19th CPC National Congress opened Wednesday. More than 2,300 delegates and specially invited delegates are attending the congress.

The congress, China's most significant political event in five years, came at the decisive stage in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and at a critical moment as socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era.

The twice-in-a-decade CPC national congress will elect a new leadership and map out a blueprint for national development in the next five years and beyond.
