The role of the united front

The united front is an important magic weapon for the C***nese Communist Party to win victory in the cause of revolution, construction and reform, for the C***nese Communist Party to govern and prosper the country, and for the realization of the complete reunification of the motherland and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation

The united front is a basic strategic and tactical issue of Marxism. Combining the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China, the CPC has always regarded the united front as a basic issue in China's revolution, construction and reform, and as an important treasure for the Party to carry out its work, unite the people and win victories, and has enriched and developed the Marxist theory of the united front in practice. The three generations of the central leadership of the CPC have repeatedly emphasized that it is impossible for the cause led by the CPC to triumph without a broadest united front that includes the vast majority of the population of the entire nation; that as long as we continue to develop and strengthen the united front, no difficulties can stop us from advancing and no resistance will be broken by us; that the united front, as an important legal treasure of the Party, must not be lost. As a political advantage of the Party, it must not be weakened, and as a long-term policy of the Party, it must not be shaken.

Since the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the CPC has insisted on being guided by Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, and the important thought of the Three Represents, and has put forward the principles of adhering to the people-oriented principle, realizing scientific development, perfecting the socialist market economic system, building a harmonious socialist society, constructing a new socialist countryside, building an innovative country, and building a new socialist society. It has put forward a series of major strategic ideas, such as adhering to the people-oriented principle, realizing scientific development, perfecting the socialist market economic system, building a harmonious socialist society, constructing a new socialist countryside, building an innovative country, building a harmonious world, and strengthening the Party's governing capacity and advanced character, to continue to promote the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. In the face of the heavy and complex tasks of reform, development and stabilization, the United Front, as a broad alliance uniting forces from all quarters, has an even more onerous task in realizing the grand goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. Maintaining the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macao, opposing and curbing the separatist forces of "Taiwan independence" and their activities, and realizing the complete reunification of the motherland are major issues related to the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the united front, as an important force in promoting the implementation of "one country, two systems", has an important role to play in advancing the cause of the reunification of the motherland. The role of the United Front, as an important force in promoting the implementation of "one country, two systems", has become more prominent in promoting the cause of the unification of the motherland. In adhering to the path of peaceful development and promoting the construction of a harmonious world, and in the face of international hostile forces using the so-called democracy, human rights, ethnicity, religion and other issues to carry out their plans for westernization and division against us, the United Front is at the forefront of the struggle against infiltration, subversion and secession, and has an even greater responsibility to adhere to China's political system and political party system, safeguard social stability, national security and territorial integrity, and to grasp and make good use of the important strategic opportunities. The responsibility for maintaining social stability, national security and territorial integrity, and for firmly grasping and effectively utilizing the period of important strategic opportunities is even greater. Strengthening the construction of governing capacity and advanced construction, and obtaining the support and backing of the broadest masses of the people is an important issue that the CPC has always been facing in its long-term governance, and the United Front, as a special mass work of the CPC, has a unique advantage in consolidating the Party's class base and enlarging the Party's mass base.

In response to the new situation and new tasks in the new century and new stage, the CPC Central Committee, with Comrade Hu Jintao as general secretary, clearly put forward that the united front is an important magic weapon for the CPC to win victory in the cause of revolution, construction and reform, for the CPC to rise up as a ruling power and for the realization of the complete reunification of the motherland and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Consolidating and expanding the broadest united front is a basic experience of our Party's continuous victory, an extremely important aspect of the overall situation of the Party and the country, and a basic issue that must be correctly dealt with in the governance of the country under the new historical conditions. To consolidate and strengthen the united front, as an important task to improve the party's governing capacity, as an important task to develop the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, as an important task to enhance the cohesion of the Chinese nation, to the important position of the work of the whole party, and to really grasp and grasp.

Consolidating and strengthening the united front is an inevitable requirement for implementing the scientific outlook on development and building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way

All the struggles of China's ****-producing party and all the undertakings promoted by the leadership of the people are ultimately aimed at realizing the fundamental interests of the broadest possible range of people, and ultimately, they all have to rely on the broadest possible range of people to accomplish them. Comprehensively implementing the scientific concept of development, comprehensively building a higher level of moderately prosperous society benefiting more than a billion people, and speeding up the advancement of socialist modernization is an unprecedentedly great cause and an unprecedentedly burdensome task. Especially at present, our country is in a critical period of intertwined development opportunities and contradictions. With the development of economy and society and the advancement of reform and opening-up, the social structure of our country is undergoing profound changes, the relationship of interests is undergoing profound adjustments, and all kinds of deep-rooted contradictions continue to emerge, so it is necessary to do a good job in all aspects in a more elaborate and solid manner, to mobilize the enthusiasm of all aspects in a more full and extensive manner, and to deal with and resolve the problems in all aspects in a more proactive and effective manner. To deal with and resolve the contradictions in all aspects, the wisdom and strength of the whole society gathered to the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way.

We should give full play to the advantages and role of the united front, mobilize all positive factors conducive to promoting scientific development, resolve all negative factors affecting unity and stability, unswervingly focus on development as the Party's first priority for governance, unswervingly push forward reform and opening up, and unswervingly promote social harmony, so as to provide wide-ranging and powerful support for the construction of a moderately well-off society in an all-round way.

Consolidating and strengthening the united front is an inevitable requirement for adhering to the "one country, two systems" principle and advancing the cause of complete reunification of the motherland

Solving the Taiwan question and realizing the complete reunification of the motherland are the core interests of the Chinese nation and the ****solid wish of all Chinese people at home and abroad. The Chinese ****products Party and the government has always attached great importance to the Taiwan issue, always take the realization of the complete reunification of the motherland as a sacred historical mission, with the greatest sincerity, and do our best to promote cross-strait relations towards peaceful reunification. At the same time, we should also see that there is still a long way to go to finally resolve the Taiwan question and realize the complete reunification of the motherland. To safeguard the territorial and sovereignty integrity of the country, to maintain the basic stability of cross-strait relations, and to advance the process of peaceful reunification of the motherland, we must do a good job of working with the people of Taiwan and winning the hearts and minds of the people of Taiwan, and we must unite all the positive forces conducive to the promotion of reunification.

We should give full play to the important role of the United Front in opposing "independence" and promoting unification, and on the basis of the one-China principle, we should strive to seek common ground for the reunification of the motherland and the revival of the nation, while preserving the differences in the social systems and lifestyles of the two sides of the Taiwan Straits, so as to promote wider ties, deeper cooperation and better feelings among compatriots across the Straits, and to create the conditions for the early resolution of the Taiwan issue.

Consolidating and strengthening the united front is an inevitable requirement for adhering to the path of peaceful development and striving for a favorable international environment for China's development

In today's world, the international situation continues to undergo profound and complex changes. Peace, development and cooperation are the unstoppable trend of the times, the trend of world multipolarity and economic globalization is developing y, scientific and technological progress is rapidly changing, the international industrial and technological transfer is accelerating, China's economic and technological cooperation with other countries in the world is becoming more and more extensive, and the development of our country is facing a rare historical opportunity. At the same time, China's development is also confronted with serious challenges as a result of the increase in the number of unstable and uncertain factors affecting peace and development, the intensification of international competition, the ups and downs of regional conflicts and frictions, the widening of the gap between the North and the South, and the rise in both traditional and non-traditional threats to security. In particular, the international hostile forces have never given up their strategic plans to westernize and divide our country, and are stepping up their infiltration and sabotage activities against our country, with increasingly diverse means of infiltration in a more insidious form, which has brought about a serious impact on our political security, economic security, cultural security and information security.

The united front involves political parties, ethnic groups, religions and other fields, which are the key areas of infiltration and sabotage by international hostile forces against China. We must give full play to the characteristics and advantages of the United Front in terms of its wide range of contacts with foreign countries and its prominent role in countering infiltration and anti-separatism, unite all political parties, groups, nationalities, strata and people from all walks of life, unswervingly follow the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, work hard to strive for a favorable international and peripheral environment for reform, opening-up and modernization, and make our due contribution to the building of a harmonious world of enduring peace and ****together prosperity.

Consolidating and growing the united front is an inevitable requirement for strengthening the Party's ability to govern and building its advanced character, and accomplishing the Party's mission to govern

The major strategic task of strengthening the Party's ability to govern and building its advanced character put forward by the Chinese ****productivity Party is to enable our Party to always be a party for the public and govern for the people, to raise the level of the Party's leadership and governance, to improve its resistance to corruption and to risks, and to always serve the people. It is also to improve the Party's level of leadership and governance, enhance its ability to resist corruption and risks, and always govern well for the people and hold on to power. From the lessons learned from political party rule around the world, especially from the dramatic changes in Eastern Europe and the collapse of the Soviet Union, it is clear that the backwardness of people's hearts and minds is of decisive significance to a ruling party. A large number of facts in ancient and modern times and at home and abroad have shown that power in the hands of the people is not necessarily in the hands of the people, and it is ultimately difficult to maintain power without mastering the hearts and minds of the people.

Chinese ****production party as a Marxist political party, the greatest advantage lies in close contact with the people, the greatest danger after the ruling lies in detachment from the people. The longer it stays in power, the more important it is to prevent the phenomenon of detachment from the masses. To maintain the Party's flesh and blood ties with the people, we must insist on a thorough understanding of the people's situation, fully reflect public opinion, widely concentrate the people's wisdom, and effectively cherish the people's power, so that the Party's decisions and work are in line with the objective reality and responsive to the people's wishes, so that the Party can obtain from the people an inexhaustible source of strength to promote the cause of the development of the Party, and so that the Party's governing activities to the widest possible extent to win the hearts of the people, and to unite the hearts of the people.

The united front work is the Party's special mass work. The united front is an important way for the Party to strengthen its ties with the masses in all aspects and fully reflect public opinion, as well as an important way to play the role of democratic supervision and strengthen the Party's clean government and anti-corruption struggle. We must give full play to the important role of the united front in extensively contacting the masses and uniting them, promote the Party's building of its governing capacity and advanced nature, so that the C***nese Communist Party will always breathe with the people, *** destiny, and be close to their hearts, and be better able to govern for the people and by the people, and to always be a strong nucleus of leadership for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Party relations, ethnic relations, religious relations, class relations, and relations between compatriots at home and abroad are major relations in the political and social fields involving the overall situation of the work of the Party and the country, and they are major relations to be grasped comprehensively and dealt with correctly by the united front

In the process of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, the fundamental interests of people of all ethnic groups across the country are the same, and the C***nese Communist Party represents the fundamental interests of the greatest number of people in China. fundamental interests of the broadest number of people in China. At the same time, it must be seen that, on the basis of the unity of the fundamental interests of the people of all ethnic groups in the country, different aspects, different classes and different groups also have such and such specific interests. This requires us to consciously deal with all aspects of the relationship on the basis of economic and social development, especially the major relationship involving the overall situation of the Party and the country, and to take into account the overall situation, comprehensive and balanced, and actively guide and form a synergy, so as to make the whole society more closely united and cohesive, **** with the promotion of social harmony, and to realize the development goals of the Party and the country to strive for.

Party relations, ethnic relations, religious relations, class relations, and relations between compatriots at home and abroad are major relations in the political and social fields that affect the overall situation of the work of the Party and the country, and they are the major relations that the united front needs to grasp comprehensively and handle correctly. Correctly recognizing and dealing with these five major relationships, maintaining and promoting harmony in these five major relationships has a bearing on the overall situation of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the process of building a harmonious socialist society, the prosperity of the Party and the country, and long-term peace and stability, and has an irreplaceable role to play in promoting unity and gathering strength. First, the correct handling of the relationship between the CPC and the democratic parties, and the maintenance and promotion of harmonious political party relations in China are important elements in the development of socialist democratic politics and the construction of socialist political civilization, as well as in the building of a harmonious socialist society. Secondly, ethnic relations have been, are and will continue to be a major relationship involving the overall situation of the work of the Party and the State. Whether or not ethnic relations can be correctly handled determines, to a large extent, whether or not national unity can be achieved, social harmony promoted, national unity safeguarded and territorial integrity defended. Thirdly, China is a multi-religious country, and it is an important part of building a harmonious socialist society to deal with the relationship between believers and non-believers, as well as those who believe in different religions, and to guide religions to be compatible with socialist society. Fourth, correctly understanding and handling the relationship between the various strata of society in China under the new situation, and realizing that all people can make the best use of their abilities and get along with each other in a harmonious manner are important symbols of social harmony, and important guarantees of the development of the Party's and the people's undertakings. Fifth, mainland compatriots, compatriots in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, compatriots in Macao Special Administrative Region, compatriots in Taiwan, and overseas Chinese compatriots are Chinese sons and daughters connected by blood. Handle the relationship between mainland compatriots and compatriots in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, overseas compatriots, to maintain the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macao, promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations, and unite all the children of China *** with the commitment to realize the complete reunification of the motherland and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, is of great significance.
