六、健全人民當(dāng)家作主制度體系，發(fā)展社會主義民主政治

VI. Improving the System of Institutions through Which the People Run the Country and Developing Socialist Democracy

我國是工人階級領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的、以工農(nóng)聯(lián)盟為基礎(chǔ)的人民民主專政的社會主義國家，國家一切權(quán)力屬于人民。我國社會主義民主是維護人民根本利益的最廣泛、最真實、最管用的民主。發(fā)展社會主義民主政治就是要體現(xiàn)人民意志、保障人民權(quán)益、激發(fā)人民創(chuàng)造活力，用制度體系保證人民當(dāng)家作主。

China is a socialist country of people’s democratic dictatorship under the leadership of the working class based on an alliance of workers and farmers; it is a country where all power of the state belongs to the people. China’s socialist democracy is the broadest, most genuine, and most effective democracy to safeguard the fundamental interests of the people. The very purpose of developing socialist democracy is to give full expression to the will of the people, protect their rights and interests, spark their creativity, and provide systemic and institutional guarantees to ensure the people run the country.

中國特色社會主義政治發(fā)展道路，是近代以來中國人民長期奮斗歷史邏輯、理論邏輯、實踐邏輯的必然結(jié)果，是堅持黨的本質(zhì)屬性、踐行黨的根本宗旨的必然要求。世界上沒有完全相同的政治制度模式，政治制度不能脫離特定社會政治條件和歷史文化傳統(tǒng)來抽象評判，不能定于一尊，不能生搬硬套外國政治制度模式。要長期堅持、不斷發(fā)展我國社會主義民主政治，積極穩(wěn)妥推進政治體制改革，推進社會主義民主政治制度化、規(guī)范化、程序化，保證人民依法通過各種途徑和形式管理國家事務(wù)，管理經(jīng)濟文化事業(yè)，管理社會事務(wù)，鞏固和發(fā)展生動活潑、安定團結(jié)的政治局面。

The path of socialist political advancement with Chinese characteristics is the logical outcome of the evolution of history, theory, and practice as the Chinese people have long engaged in struggles since the advent of modern times. It is a requisite for maintaining the very nature of the Party and fulfilling its fundamental purpose. No two political systems are entirely the same, and a political system cannot be judged in abstraction without regard for its social and political context, its history, and its cultural traditions. No one political system should be regarded as the only choice; and we should not just mechanically copy the political systems of other countries. We must uphold long term and steadily strengthen China’s socialist democracy, make active and prudent efforts to advance the reform of the political system, and improve the institutions, standards, and procedures of socialist democracy. We should ensure that people participate, in accordance with law and in various ways and forms, in the management of state, economic, cultural, and social affairs, and consolidate and enhance political stability, unity, and vitality.

（一）堅持黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)、人民當(dāng)家作主、依法治國有機統(tǒng)一。黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)是人民當(dāng)家作主和依法治國的根本保證，人民當(dāng)家作主是社會主義民主政治的本質(zhì)特征，依法治國是黨領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人民治理國家的基本方式，三者統(tǒng)一于我國社會主義民主政治偉大實踐。在我國政治生活中，黨是居于領(lǐng)導(dǎo)地位的，加強黨的集中統(tǒng)一領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，支持人大、政府、政協(xié)和法院、檢察院依法依章程履行職能、開展工作、發(fā)揮作用，這兩個方面是統(tǒng)一的。要改進黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)方式和執(zhí)政方式，保證黨領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人民有效治理國家；擴大人民有序政治參與，保證人民依法實行民主選舉、民主協(xié)商、民主決策、民主管理、民主監(jiān)督；維護國家法制統(tǒng)一、尊嚴(yán)、權(quán)威，加強人權(quán)法治保障，保證人民依法享有廣泛權(quán)利和自由。鞏固基層政權(quán)，完善基層民主制度，保障人民知情權(quán)、參與權(quán)、表達權(quán)、監(jiān)督權(quán)。健全依法決策機制，構(gòu)建決策科學(xué)、執(zhí)行堅決、監(jiān)督有力的權(quán)力運行機制。各級領(lǐng)導(dǎo)干部要增強民主意識，發(fā)揚民主作風(fēng)，接受人民監(jiān)督，當(dāng)好人民公仆。

1. Upholding the unity of Party leadership, the running of the country by the people, and law-based governance

Party leadership is the fundamental guarantee for ensuring that the people run the country and governance in China is law-based; that the people run the country is an essential feature of socialist democracy; and law-based governance is the basic way for the Party to lead the people in governing the country. These three elements are integral components of socialist democracy. In China’s political life, our Party exercises leadership. Strengthening the centralized, unified leadership of the Party on the one hand and, on the other, supporting the people’s congresses, governments, committees of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), courts, and procuratorates in performing their functions and playing their roles in accordance with the law and their charters, form a unified pair. We will improve the way the Party exercises leadership and governance to ensure that it leads the people in effectively governing the country. We will expand the people’s orderly political participation to see that in accordance with law they engage in democratic elections, consultations, decision-making, management, and oversight. We should uphold the unity, sanctity, and authority of China’s legal system, and strengthen legal protection for human rights to ensure that the people enjoy extensive rights and freedoms as prescribed by law. We should both consolidate government and improve the institutions of democracy at the primary level to ensure the people’s rights to be informed, to participate, to be heard, and to oversee. We will improve mechanisms for law-based decision-making, and put in place mechanisms for the exercise of power that ensure sound decision-making, resolute execution, and effective oversight. Officials at all levels must deepen their understanding of democracy, be democratic in their conduct, willingly accept public oversight, and perform as they should in their role as public servants.

（二）加強人民當(dāng)家作主制度保障。人民代表大會制度是堅持黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)、人民當(dāng)家作主、依法治國有機統(tǒng)一的根本政治制度安排，必須長期堅持、不斷完善。要支持和保證人民通過人民代表大會行使國家權(quán)力。發(fā)揮人大及其常委會在立法工作中的主導(dǎo)作用，健全人大組織制度和工作制度，支持和保證人大依法行使立法權(quán)、監(jiān)督權(quán)、決定權(quán)、任免權(quán)，更好發(fā)揮人大代表作用，使各級人大及其常委會成為全面擔(dān)負起憲法法律賦予的各項職責(zé)的工作機關(guān)，成為同人民群眾保持密切聯(lián)系的代表機關(guān)。完善人大專門委員會設(shè)置，優(yōu)化人大常委會和專門委員會組成人員結(jié)構(gòu)。

2. Strengthening institutional guarantees to ensure the people run the country

We must uphold long term and steadily improve the system of people’s congresses, a political system fundamental to the Party’s leadership, the running of the country by the people, and law-based governance. We should support and ensure the people’s exercise of state power through people’s congresses. We should see to it that people’s congresses and their standing committees play the leading role in lawmaking, and improve the organizational and working systems of people’s congresses to support and ensure the exercise of their statutory powers of enacting laws, conducting oversight, making decisions, and appointing and removing officials. We should give better play to the role of deputies to people’s congresses, and enable people’s congresses at all levels and their standing committees to fully perform their functions as stipulated in the Constitution and the law, and to truly represent the people and maintain close ties with them. We should improve the setup of special committees of people’s congresses and the composition of their standing committees and special committees.

（三）發(fā)揮社會主義協(xié)商民主重要作用。有事好商量，眾人的事情由眾人商量，是人民民主的真諦。協(xié)商民主是實現(xiàn)黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的重要方式，是我國社會主義民主政治的特有形式和獨特優(yōu)勢。要推動協(xié)商民主廣泛、多層、制度化發(fā)展，統(tǒng)籌推進政黨協(xié)商、人大協(xié)商、政府協(xié)商、政協(xié)協(xié)商、人民團體協(xié)商、基層協(xié)商以及社會組織協(xié)商。加強協(xié)商民主制度建設(shè)，形成完整的制度程序和參與實踐，保證人民在日常政治生活中有廣泛持續(xù)深入?yún)⑴c的權(quán)利。

3. Giving play to the important role of socialist consultative democracy

The essence of the people’s democracy is that the people get to discuss their own affairs. Consultative democracy is an important way of effecting Party leadership and a model and strength unique to China’s socialist democracy. We will advance extensive, multilevel, and institutionalized development of consultative democracy, and adopt a coordinated approach to promoting consultations carried out by political parties, people’s congresses, government departments, CPPCC committees, people’s organizations, communities, and social organizations. We will strengthen the institutions of consultative democracy and develop complete procedures and practices to enable the people’s broad, continuous, and intensive participation in day-to-day political activities.

人民政協(xié)是具有中國特色的制度安排，是社會主義協(xié)商民主的重要渠道和專門協(xié)商機構(gòu)。人民政協(xié)工作要聚焦黨和國家中心任務(wù)，圍繞團結(jié)和民主兩大主題，把協(xié)商民主貫穿政治協(xié)商、民主監(jiān)督、參政議政全過程，完善協(xié)商議政內(nèi)容和形式，著力增進共識、促進團結(jié)。加強人民政協(xié)民主監(jiān)督，重點監(jiān)督黨和國家重大方針政策和重要決策部署的貫徹落實。增強人民政協(xié)界別的代表性，加強委員隊伍建設(shè)。

The CPPCC, as a distinctively Chinese political institution, is a major channel for socialist consultative democracy, and its committees are specialist consultative bodies. The CPPCC committees should focus on the Party and the country’s key tasks. With the themes of unity and democracy in mind, they should exercise consultative democracy throughout the whole process of political consultation, democratic oversight, and participation in the deliberation and administration of state affairs; and they should improve the content and forms of consultation and deliberation to build consensus and promote unity. They should strengthen democratic oversight, focusing on the implementation of the major principles, policies, decisions, and plans of the Party and the state. They should better represent the different social sectors and strengthen the competence of their members.

（四）深化依法治國實踐。全面依法治國是國家治理的一場深刻革命，必須堅持厲行法治，推進科學(xué)立法、嚴(yán)格執(zhí)法、公正司法、全民守法。成立中央全面依法治國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)小組，加強對法治中國建設(shè)的統(tǒng)一領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。加強憲法實施和監(jiān)督，推進合憲性審查工作，維護憲法權(quán)威。推進科學(xué)立法、民主立法、依法立法，以良法促進發(fā)展、保障善治。建設(shè)法治政府，推進依法行政，嚴(yán)格規(guī)范公正文明執(zhí)法。深化司法體制綜合配套改革，全面落實司法責(zé)任制，努力讓人民群眾在每一個司法案件中感受到公平正義。加大全民普法力度，建設(shè)社會主義法治文化，樹立憲法法律至上、法律面前人人平等的法治理念。各級黨組織和全體黨員要帶頭尊法學(xué)法守法用法，任何組織和個人都不得有超越憲法法律的特權(quán)，絕不允許以言代法、以權(quán)壓法、逐利違法、徇私枉法。

4. Advancing law-based governance

Advancing law-based governance in all fields is a profound revolution in China’s governance. We must promote the rule of law and work to ensure sound lawmaking, strict law enforcement, impartial administration of justice, and the observance of law by everyone. A central leading group for advancing law-based governance in all areas will be set up to exercise unified leadership over the initiative to build rule of law in China. We will strengthen oversight to ensure compliance with the Constitution, advance constitutionality review, and safeguard the authority of the Constitution. We will carry out lawmaking in a well-conceived and democratic way and in accordance with law, so that good laws are made to promote development and ensure good governance. We will build a rule of law government, promote law-based government administration, and see that law is enforced in a strict, procedure-based, impartial, and non-abusive way. We will carry out comprehensive and integrated reform of the judicial system and enforce judicial accountability in all respects, so that the people can see in every judicial case that justice is served. We will redouble efforts to raise public awareness of the law, develop a socialist culture of rule of law, and increase public awareness of the principle underlying rule of law that the Constitution and the law are above everything else and that everyone is equal before the law. Every Party organization and every Party member must take the lead in respecting, learning about, observing, and applying the law. No organization or individual has the power to overstep the Constitution or the law; and no one is allowed in any way to override the law with his or her own orders, place his or her authority above the law, violate the law for personal gain, or abuse the law.

（五）深化機構(gòu)和行政體制改革。統(tǒng)籌考慮各類機構(gòu)設(shè)置，科學(xué)配置黨政部門及內(nèi)設(shè)機構(gòu)權(quán)力、明確職責(zé)。統(tǒng)籌使用各類編制資源，形成科學(xué)合理的管理體制，完善國家機構(gòu)組織法。轉(zhuǎn)變政府職能，深化簡政放權(quán)，創(chuàng)新監(jiān)管方式，增強政府公信力和執(zhí)行力，建設(shè)人民滿意的服務(wù)型政府。賦予省級及以下政府更多自主權(quán)。在省市縣對職能相近的黨政機關(guān)探索合并設(shè)立或合署辦公。深化事業(yè)單位改革，強化公益屬性，推進政事分開、事企分開、管辦分離。

5. Deepening reform of Party and government institutions and the system of government administration

We will adopt a comprehensive approach to the setup of Party and government institutions, and ensure that powers are designated properly and functions and duties are defined clearly both for the institutions themselves and their internal bodies. We will use various types of staffing resources in a coordinated way, develop a sound system of administration, and improve the organic law for state institutions. The government needs to transform its functions, further streamline administration and delegate powers, develop new ways of regulation and supervision, and strengthen its credibility and administrative capacity, building itself into a service-oriented government able to satisfy the needs of the people. More decision making power should be given to governments at and below the provincial level, and ways should be explored to merge Party and government bodies with similar functions at the provincial, prefectural, and county levels or for them to work together as one office while keeping separate identities. We will deepen the reform of public institutions to see that they focus on serving public interests, relieve them of government functions, keep them away from business activities, and let them run their own day-to-day operations while maintaining supervision over them.

（六）鞏固和發(fā)展愛國統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線。統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線是黨的事業(yè)取得勝利的重要法寶，必須長期堅持。要高舉愛國主義、社會主義旗幟，牢牢把握大團結(jié)大聯(lián)合的主題，堅持一致性和多樣性統(tǒng)一，找到最大公約數(shù)，畫出最大同心圓。堅持長期共存、互相監(jiān)督、肝膽相照、榮辱與共，支持民主黨派按照中國特色社會主義參政黨要求更好履行職能。全面貫徹黨的民族政策，深化民族團結(jié)進步教育，鑄牢中華民族共同體意識，加強各民族交往交流交融，促進各民族像石榴籽一樣緊緊抱在一起，共同團結(jié)奮斗、共同繁榮發(fā)展。全面貫徹黨的宗教工作基本方針，堅持我國宗教的中國化方向，積極引導(dǎo)宗教與社會主義社會相適應(yīng)。加強黨外知識分子工作，做好新的社會階層人士工作，發(fā)揮他們在中國特色社會主義事業(yè)中的重要作用。構(gòu)建親清新型政商關(guān)系，促進非公有制經(jīng)濟健康發(fā)展和非公有制經(jīng)濟人士健康成長。廣泛團結(jié)聯(lián)系海外僑胞和歸僑僑眷，共同致力于中華民族偉大復(fù)興。

6. Consolidating and developing the patriotic united front

The united front is an important way to ensure the success of the Party’s cause, and we must maintain commitment to it long term. We must uphold the banner of patriotism and socialism, strive to achieve great unity and solidarity, balance commonality and diversity, and expand common ground and the convergence of interests. In handling its relationships with other Chinese political parties, the Communist Party of China is guided by the principles of long-term coexistence, mutual oversight, sincerity, and sharing the rough times and the smooth, and it supports these parties in performing their duties in accordance with the requirements of the Chinese socialist system for their participation in governance. We will fully implement the Party’s policies concerning ethnic groups, heighten public awareness of ethnic unity and progress, and create a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation. We will encourage more exchanges and interactions among different ethnic groups, helping them remain closely united like the seeds of a pomegranate that stick together, and work jointly for common prosperity and development. We will fully implement the Party’s basic policy on religious affairs, uphold the principle that religions in China must be Chinese in orientation and provide active guidance to religions so that they can adapt themselves to socialist society. We will encourage intellectuals who are not Party members and people belonging to new social groups to play the important roles they have in building socialism with Chinese characteristics. We should form a new type of cordial and clean relationship between government and business, promote healthy growth of the non-public sector of the economy, and encourage those working in this sector to achieve success. We will maintain extensive contacts with overseas Chinese nationals, returned Chinese and their relatives and unite them so that they can join our endeavors to revitalize the Chinese nation.

同志們！中國特色社會主義政治制度是中國共產(chǎn)黨和中國人民的偉大創(chuàng)造。我們完全有信心、有能力把我國社會主義民主政治的優(yōu)勢和特點充分發(fā)揮出來，為人類政治文明進步作出充滿中國智慧的貢獻！

Comrades,

The political system of socialism with Chinese characteristics is a great creation of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people. We have every confidence that we can give full play to the strengths and distinctive features of China’s socialist democracy, and make China’s contribution to the political advancement of mankind.

七、堅定文化自信，推動社會主義文化繁榮興盛

VII. Building Stronger Cultural Confidence and Helping Socialist Culture to Flourish

文化是一個國家、一個民族的靈魂。文化興國運興，文化強民族強。沒有高度的文化自信，沒有文化的繁榮興盛，就沒有中華民族偉大復(fù)興。要堅持中國特色社會主義文化發(fā)展道路，激發(fā)全民族文化創(chuàng)新創(chuàng)造活力，建設(shè)社會主義文化強國。

Culture is a country and nation’s soul. Our country will thrive only if our culture thrives, and our nation will be strong only if our culture is strong. Without full confidence in our culture, without a rich and prosperous culture, the Chinese nation will not be able to rejuvenate itself. We must develop a socialist culture with Chinese characteristics, inspire the cultural creativity of our whole nation, and develop a great socialist culture in China.

中國特色社會主義文化，源自于中華民族五千多年文明歷史所孕育的中華優(yōu)秀傳統(tǒng)文化，熔鑄于黨領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人民在革命、建設(shè)、改革中創(chuàng)造的革命文化和社會主義先進文化，植根于中國特色社會主義偉大實踐。發(fā)展中國特色社會主義文化，就是以馬克思主義為指導(dǎo)，堅守中華文化立場，立足當(dāng)代中國現(xiàn)實，結(jié)合當(dāng)今時代條件，發(fā)展面向現(xiàn)代化、面向世界、面向未來的，民族的科學(xué)的大眾的社會主義文化，推動社會主義精神文明和物質(zhì)文明協(xié)調(diào)發(fā)展。要堅持為人民服務(wù)、為社會主義服務(wù)，堅持百花齊放、百家爭鳴，堅持創(chuàng)造性轉(zhuǎn)化、創(chuàng)新性發(fā)展，不斷鑄就中華文化新輝煌。

Socialist culture with Chinese characteristics is derived from China’s fine traditional culture, which was born of the Chinese civilization and nurtured over more than 5,000 years; it has grown out of the revolutionary and advanced socialist culture that developed over the course of the Chinese people’s revolution, construction, and reform under the Party’s leadership; and it is rooted in the great practice of socialism with Chinese characteristics. To develop socialist culture with Chinese characteristics means to develop a socialist culture for our nation—a culture that is sound and people-oriented, that embraces modernization, the world, and the future, and that both promotes socialist material wellbeing and raises socialist cultural-ethical standards. In developing this culture, we must follow the guidance of Marxism, base our efforts on Chinese culture, and take into account the realities of contemporary China and the conditions of the present era. We should ensure that this culture serves the people and serves socialism. We should follow the principle of letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, and encourage creative transformation and development, so as to add new luster to Chinese culture.

（一）牢牢掌握意識形態(tài)工作領(lǐng)導(dǎo)權(quán)。意識形態(tài)決定文化前進方向和發(fā)展道路。必須推進馬克思主義中國化時代化大眾化，建設(shè)具有強大凝聚力和引領(lǐng)力的社會主義意識形態(tài)，使全體人民在理想信念、價值理念、道德觀念上緊緊團結(jié)在一起。要加強理論武裝，推動新時代中國特色社會主義思想深入人心。深化馬克思主義理論研究和建設(shè)，加快構(gòu)建中國特色哲學(xué)社會科學(xué)，加強中國特色新型智庫建設(shè)。堅持正確輿論導(dǎo)向，高度重視傳播手段建設(shè)和創(chuàng)新，提高新聞輿論傳播力、引導(dǎo)力、影響力、公信力。加強互聯(lián)網(wǎng)內(nèi)容建設(shè)，建立網(wǎng)絡(luò)綜合治理體系，營造清朗的網(wǎng)絡(luò)空間。落實意識形態(tài)工作責(zé)任制，加強陣地建設(shè)和管理，注意區(qū)分政治原則問題、思想認識問題、學(xué)術(shù)觀點問題，旗幟鮮明反對和抵制各種錯誤觀點。

1. Holding firmly the leading position in ideological work

Ideology determines the direction a culture should take and the path it should follow as it develops. We must continue to adapt Marxism to China’s conditions, keep it up-to-date, and enhance its popular appeal. We will develop socialist ideology that has the ability to unite and the power to inspire the people to embrace shared ideals, convictions, values, and moral standards. We will better arm ourselves with theory and increase the public appeal of the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. We will work harder to study and develop Marxist theory, work faster to develop philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics, and develop new types of think tanks with distinctive Chinese features. We will maintain the right tone in public communication, give priority to improving means of communication and to creating new ones, and strengthen the penetration, guidance, influence, and credibility of the media. We will provide more and better online content and put in place a system for integrated internet management to ensure a clean cyberspace. We will implement the system of responsibility for ideological work, and further consolidate our positions and improve management in this field. We will distinguish between matters of political principle, issues of understanding and thinking, and academic viewpoints, but we must oppose and resist various erroneous views with a clear stand.

（二）培育和踐行社會主義核心價值觀。社會主義核心價值觀是當(dāng)代中國精神的集中體現(xiàn)，凝結(jié)著全體人民共同的價值追求。要以培養(yǎng)擔(dān)當(dāng)民族復(fù)興大任的時代新人為著眼點，強化教育引導(dǎo)、實踐養(yǎng)成、制度保障，發(fā)揮社會主義核心價值觀對國民教育、精神文明創(chuàng)建、精神文化產(chǎn)品創(chuàng)作生產(chǎn)傳播的引領(lǐng)作用，把社會主義核心價值觀融入社會發(fā)展各方面，轉(zhuǎn)化為人們的情感認同和行為習(xí)慣。堅持全民行動、干部帶頭，從家庭做起，從娃娃抓起。深入挖掘中華優(yōu)秀傳統(tǒng)文化蘊含的思想觀念、人文精神、道德規(guī)范，結(jié)合時代要求繼承創(chuàng)新，讓中華文化展現(xiàn)出永久魅力和時代風(fēng)采。

2. Cultivating and observing core socialist values

Core socialist values represent the contemporary Chinese spirit and are a crystallization of the values shared by all Chinese people. We will focus on fostering a new generation capable of shouldering the mission of national rejuvenation; we will offer them better guidance, expose them to practice, and provide institutional guarantees. We will draw on core socialist values to guide education, efforts to raise cultural-ethical standards, and the creation, production, and distribution of cultural and intellectual products, and see that all areas of social development are imbued with these values and that they become part of people’s thinking and behavior. To this end, we will encourage extensive public involvement, making our officials take the lead and starting with families and children. We will draw on China’s fine traditional culture, keep alive and develop its vision, concepts, values, and moral norms, and do so in a way that responds to the call of our era. With this we will see that Chinese culture maintains its appeal and evolves with the times.

（三）加強思想道德建設(shè)。人民有信仰，國家有力量，民族有希望。要提高人民思想覺悟、道德水準(zhǔn)、文明素養(yǎng)，提高全社會文明程度。廣泛開展理想信念教育，深化中國特色社會主義和中國夢宣傳教育，弘揚民族精神和時代精神，加強愛國主義、集體主義、社會主義教育，引導(dǎo)人們樹立正確的歷史觀、民族觀、國家觀、文化觀。深入實施公民道德建設(shè)工程，推進社會公德、職業(yè)道德、家庭美德、個人品德建設(shè)，激勵人們向上向善、孝老愛親，忠于祖國、忠于人民。加強和改進思想政治工作，深化群眾性精神文明創(chuàng)建活動。弘揚科學(xué)精神，普及科學(xué)知識，開展移風(fēng)易俗、弘揚時代新風(fēng)行動，抵制腐朽落后文化侵蝕。推進誠信建設(shè)和志愿服務(wù)制度化，強化社會責(zé)任意識、規(guī)則意識、奉獻意識。

3. Raising intellectual and moral standards

When the people have ideals, their country will have strength, and their nation will have a bright future. We will help our people raise their political awareness and moral standards, foster appreciation of fine culture, and enhance social etiquette and civility. We will undertake extensive public awareness activities to help the people develop firm ideals and convictions, build their awareness of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the Chinese Dream, foster a Chinese ethos and a readiness to respond to the call of our times, strengthen the guiding role of patriotism, collectivism, and socialism, and see that the people develop an accurate understanding of history, ethnicity, country, and culture. We will launch a civic morality campaign to raise public ethical standards, and enhance work ethics, family virtues, and personal integrity. We will encourage our people to strive for excellence and to develop stronger virtues, respect the elderly, love families, and be loyal to the country and the people. We will improve and strengthen our ideological and political work, and launch initiatives to raise the public’s cultural-ethical standards. We will promote the spirit of science and make scientific knowledge widely attainable; we will work to see the back of outdated social mores and to promote good and up-to-date practices and trends; and we will resist the corrosive influence of backward and decadent culture. We will promote credibility building, institutionalize volunteer services, and heighten people’s sense of social responsibility, awareness of rules, and sense of dedication.

（四）繁榮發(fā)展社會主義文藝。社會主義文藝是人民的文藝，必須堅持以人民為中心的創(chuàng)作導(dǎo)向，在深入生活、扎根人民中進行無愧于時代的文藝創(chuàng)造。要繁榮文藝創(chuàng)作，堅持思想精深、藝術(shù)精湛、制作精良相統(tǒng)一，加強現(xiàn)實題材創(chuàng)作，不斷推出謳歌黨、謳歌祖國、謳歌人民、謳歌英雄的精品力作。發(fā)揚學(xué)術(shù)民主、藝術(shù)民主，提升文藝原創(chuàng)力，推動文藝創(chuàng)新。倡導(dǎo)講品位、講格調(diào)、講責(zé)任，抵制低俗、庸俗、媚俗。加強文藝隊伍建設(shè)，造就一大批德藝雙馨名家大師，培育一大批高水平創(chuàng)作人才。

4. Seeing socialist literature and art thrive

Socialist literature and art are for the people: Writers and artists should take a people-centered approach and draw inspiration from everyday life and the experiences of the people to produce works that do justice to our times. We encourage them to create fine works that are thought provoking and of a high artistic standard, that reflect real life, and that extol our Party, our country, our people, and our heroes. We will foster democracy in academic research and artistic pursuit, and encourage originality and experimentation with new approaches in the creation of literature and art. We encourage the cultivation of fine tastes, style, and a sense of responsibility, and reject vulgarity and kitsch in literary and artistic creation. We will strengthen the professional standards of artists and writers to see the emergence of a large number of eminent figures who have moral integrity and outstanding artistic appeal, and creators of inspiring works.

（五）推動文化事業(yè)和文化產(chǎn)業(yè)發(fā)展。滿足人民過上美好生活的新期待，必須提供豐富的精神食糧。要深化文化體制改革，完善文化管理體制，加快構(gòu)建把社會效益放在首位、社會效益和經(jīng)濟效益相統(tǒng)一的體制機制。完善公共文化服務(wù)體系，深入實施文化惠民工程，豐富群眾性文化活動。加強文物保護利用和文化遺產(chǎn)保護傳承。健全現(xiàn)代文化產(chǎn)業(yè)體系和市場體系，創(chuàng)新生產(chǎn)經(jīng)營機制，完善文化經(jīng)濟政策，培育新型文化業(yè)態(tài)。廣泛開展全民健身活動，加快推進體育強國建設(shè)，籌辦好北京冬奧會、冬殘奧會。加強中外人文交流，以我為主、兼收并蓄。推進國際傳播能力建設(shè)，講好中國故事，展現(xiàn)真實、立體、全面的中國，提高國家文化軟實力。

5. Promoting the development of cultural programs and industries

To meet the people’s new aspirations for a better life, we must provide them with rich intellectual nourishment. We need to deepen structural reform of the cultural sector, improve the cultural management system, and accelerate the establishment of systems and mechanisms that put social benefits first while pursuing economic returns. We will improve the public cultural service system, carry out public-interest cultural programs, and launch more popular cultural activities. We will strengthen protection and utilization of cultural relics, and better preserve and carry forward our cultural heritage. We will improve modern systems for cultural industries and markets, explore new mechanisms for cultural production and operation, improve economic policy on the development of the cultural sector, and develop new forms of business in this sector. We will carry out extensive Fitness-for-All programs, speed up efforts to build China into a country strong on sports, and make smooth preparations for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. We will strengthen people-to-people and cultural exchanges with other countries, giving prominence to Chinese culture while also drawing on other cultures. We will improve our capacity for engaging in international communication so as to tell China’s stories well, present a true, multi-dimensional, and panoramic view of China, and enhance our country’s cultural soft power.

同志們！中國共產(chǎn)黨從成立之日起，既是中國先進文化的積極引領(lǐng)者和踐行者，又是中華優(yōu)秀傳統(tǒng)文化的忠實傳承者和弘揚者。當(dāng)代中國共產(chǎn)黨人和中國人民應(yīng)該而且一定能夠擔(dān)負起新的文化使命，在實踐創(chuàng)造中進行文化創(chuàng)造，在歷史進步中實現(xiàn)文化進步！

Comrades,

Since its founding, the Communist Party of China has actively guided and promoted China’s advanced culture while keeping China’s fine traditional culture alive and strong. Today, we Chinese Communists and the Chinese people should and can shoulder our new cultural mission, make cultural creations through practice, and promote cultural advancement along with the progress of history.
