“Our system will be improved and the superiority of our socialist
system will be fully demonstrated through a brighter future,” Xi said.
“We should have firm confidence in our path, in our theories and in our
system.” “The selection of path is a life-or-death issue for the future of the
CPC,” he told the new leadership. “We should unswervingly uphold
socialism with Chinese characteristics.” He called for the new leadership to enhance their study and practice
of the theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics, accelerate the
construction of a moderately prosperous society, improve the people’s
livelihoods, strengthen Party-building and deepen reform and opening up. Emphasizing the importance of the rule of law in building a
moderately prosperous society, Xi called on CPC members to take the lead
to ensure the implementation of the constitution and act in accordance
with the law. “The people should be able to enjoy justice and fairness in every legal case,” Xi said. “To forge iron, one’s own self must be strong,” Xi said. “Our job is
to work with all CPC members to supervise our own conduct through strict
disciplines and effectively solve major problems within the Party.”
