What legal spirit does the socialist core values embody?

The essence of socialist core values is the spirit of socialist rule of law.

The report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the socialist core values of prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, honesty and friendliness. In my opinion, the establishment of socialist core values is a major innovation of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory and another milestone in the construction of socialist rule of law in China, and its essence is the spirit of socialist rule of law.

First, the socialist core values are the basic strategy of governing the country in China-the concentrated expression of socialist rule of law in national political ethics.

Over the past 30 years of reform and opening up, China has made great achievements in socialist construction that have attracted worldwide attention. At the same time, the rapid development and change of society has also produced many deep-seated social contradictions. Since 2004, the social theorists and thinkers in China have had a heated debate on how to further promote Socialism with Chinese characteristics and how to solve the contradictions and problems existing in our society. Some people deny the reform and opening up and advocate returning to the old road during and before the Cultural Revolution. Some people advocate further reform and opening up and take the road of western capitalism; Some people secretly resist further reform and opening up for the sake of safeguarding vested privileged interests and fearing that the people will gain broader democratic rights; Some people think that China should learn from the social democratic road in northern Europe; Some even suggested that China's traditional Confucianism should guide socialism, and so on. Therefore, what flag China holds and what road to take are the core questions that must be answered at the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

The flag of a country and the development path of a society are not only a political issue, but also a question of values, that is, political ethics. Political road, political system and political theory are written rules, and the values as political ethics are people's inner political beliefs. Therefore, the important mission of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is to establish socialist core values, so as to establish all citizens' faith in Socialism with Chinese characteristics Road, Socialism with Chinese characteristics System and Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory.
