 文化关乎国本、国运。中国共产党历来高度重视运用文化引领前进方向、凝聚奋斗力量,团结带领全国各族人民不断以思想文化新觉醒、理论创造新成果、文化建设新成就推动党和人民的事业向前发展。[Culture is related to the foundation and destiny of a country. The Communist Party of China has always attached great importance to using culture to guide the direction of progress and to gather strength for struggle. It has united and led the people of all ethnic groups in the country to continuously promote the cause of the Party and the people with new ideological and cultural awakenings, new theoretical achievements, and new cultural construction achievements.] ( 坚守党的文化领导权和中华民族的文化主体性/宋月红 [Adhere to the Party's cultural leadership and the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation/Song Yuehong])

《红旗文稿》“Hóngqí wéngǎo” (Red Flag Manuscripts) has published its Issue 14 (July 2024). Much of it anticipated the work product of the 3rd Plenum and its focus on a  reinvigorated socialist modernization for the New Era (here, here, here, here, and here).  The essays are useful and they suggest that even before the 3rd Plenum the notion of socialist modernization as the principal lens through which vanguard policy could be approached was already flowering. 

The Table of Contents with links (in the original Chinese) along with an English translation follow below. 

Two noteworthy essays are also included in the original and in a crude English translation. The first situates the issue essays and recommends highlighted essays (本期重点推荐 [Key recommendations of this issue]). The second includes an essay that was not on the recommended list but important nonetheless: 宋月红, 中国社会科学院当代中国研究所副所长、研究员 (Song Yuehong, Deputy Director and Researcher of the Institute of Contemporary China, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences), 坚守党的文化领导权和中华民族的文化主体性 [Adhere to the Party's cultural leadership and the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation]. The quoted language at the start of this post gives an indication of the nature and scope of its argument. This essay is well worth reading.  It suggests the that culture, like any other productive force is both a commodity which can be projected outward into the world and inward into and as the national narrative around which and shaping all socialist productivity in traditional areas.  Its power as a productive force is significant; but so is its subjectivity. That subjectivity is understood both in its ordinary sense of focusing on the subject of production, but also in its semiotic sense of dialectical and iterative self-expression that, like other forms of production, is guided.  The essence of cultural production is then guidance--its interpretation and application of cultural objects that are signified (draw their significance form the contexts from which they emerged from out of popular expectation manifested in action)and collectively interpreted in a dialogue with and against the normative vocabulary of the guiding collective. In liberal democracy that is embedded in and reflects  the aggregation of multiple interpenetrating autonomous actions guided through market power. Chinese Leninism understands that process as a State asset the guidance of which must be embedded within the vanguard forces of the nation, in this case organized as its Communist Party.   Socialist phenomenology, that starts with the collective, then, produces and interesting pathway the course of which may be distinguished from the aggregating pathways of phenomenology that starts with the individual.

坚守党的文化领导权和中华民族的文化主体性

来源:《红旗文稿》2024/14 作者:宋月红 2024-07-27 11:23:31

  习近平总书记在文化传承发展座谈会上对文化建设守正创新作出深刻阐述:“守正,守的是马克思主义在意识形态领域指导地位的根本制度,守的是‘两个结合’的根本要求,守的是中国共产党的文化领导权和中华民族的文化主体性。”这是习近平总书记深刻总结党的历史经验、洞察时代发展大势提出的重大创新观点,彰显了对新时代文化地位作用的深刻认识、对党的意识形态工作的科学把握,为全党全国各族人民向着强国建设、民族复兴宏伟目标奋勇前行提供坚强政治保证和强大精神力量。

  一、坚持党的文化领导权事关党和国家前途命运

  文化关乎国本、国运。中国共产党历来高度重视运用文化引领前进方向、凝聚奋斗力量,团结带领全国各族人民不断以思想文化新觉醒、理论创造新成果、文化建设新成就推动党和人民的事业向前发展。党的十八大以来,习近平总书记鲜明提出坚持党的文化领导权,深刻阐明了党的领导对于宣传思想文化工作的极端重要性,把党对宣传思想文化工作的全面领导提升到一个新的历史高度。

  坚持党的文化领导权,是我们党不断发展壮大的一大政治优势。确立和巩固文化领导权,对一个政党来说至关重要。马克思、恩格斯强调,无产阶级政党作为无产阶级最可靠的领导者,既要不断强化“占统治地位的经济力量”,也要坚持巩固“占统治地位的精神力量”。在革命、建设、改革各个历史时期,我们党始终把坚持文化领导权建设放在重要战略地位,一直是先进文化的倡导者和引领者。党的一大通过的党的第一个决议即提出:“一切书籍、日报、标语和传单的出版工作,均应受中央执行委员会或临时中央执行委员会的监督。”毛泽东同志曾指出,思想政治工作是经济工作和其他一切工作的生命线。邓小平同志则提出,我们不仅要建设高度的物质文明,还要建设高度的精神文明,“两手抓,两手都要硬”。在探索中国特色社会主义文化建设过程中,我们党对文化建设规律的认识不断深化,对党的文化领导权的把握更加自觉、更加主动、更加坚定。事实充分证明,我们党的发展和壮大,与卓有成效的宣传思想文化工作密不可分。

  坚持党的文化领导权,是坚守马克思主义这个魂脉和中华优秀传统文化这个根脉的必然要求。中国共产党既是马克思主义的坚定信仰者和践行者、中华优秀传统文化的忠实继承者和弘扬者,也是不断推进“两个结合”、巩固文化主体性的领导力量。百余年来,我们党始终毫不动摇坚持马克思主义在意识形态领域的指导地位,坚定不移传承弘扬中华优秀传统文化,推动“两个结合”,通过“结合”筑牢道路根基、打开创新空间、巩固文化主体性。一方面,马克思主义以真理之光激活了中华文明的基因,引领中国走进现代世界,推动了中华文明的生命更新和现代转型;另一方面,中华优秀传统文化充实了马克思主义的文化生命,推动马克思主义不断实现中国化时代化的新飞跃,显示出日益鲜明的中国风格与中国气派。正是坚持了党的文化领导权,中华优秀传统文化这个根脉才重焕光彩,马克思主义这个魂脉才生机勃发。

  坚持党的文化领导权,是担负起新时代新的文化使命的重要保证。党的十八大以来,世界百年未有之大变局加速演进,中华民族伟大复兴进入关键时期,文化多元多样多变更加凸显、交流交融交锋日益频繁。实现全党全社会思想上的团结统一,从根本上保证中国特色社会主义不变质、不变色,必须坚持党的文化领导权。“两个巩固”、“九个坚持”、“十四个强调”、“七个着力”,习近平文化思想、习近平总书记对宣传思想文化工作作出的一系列重要论述和重大决策部署,始终突出坚持和加强党的全面领导,确保全党步调一致向前进,推动新时代宣传思想文化事业取得历史性成就,意识形态领域形势发生全局性、根本性转变。在新的起点上继续推动文化繁荣、建设文化强国、建设中华民族现代文明,是我们在新时代新的文化使命。通过进一步加强思想引领和宣传教育,必将更好引领全党全社会坚定文化自信,为推进中国特色社会主义文化建设提供坚强政治保证。

  二、坚持党对宣传思想文化工作的全面领导

  坚守党的文化领导权和中华民族的文化主体性,不断巩固和壮大党引领时代的强大文化力量,事关建设什么样的文化强国、怎样建设中华民族现代文明。要坚持党对宣传思想文化工作的全面领导,落实政治责任,勇于改革创新,强化法治保障,建强干部人才队伍,为建设中华民族现代文明提供坚强政治保证。

  坚定文化自信,不断巩固中华民族文化主体性。中华民族文化主体性,是中国共产党带领中国人民在中国大地上建立起来的;是在创造性转化、创新性发展中华优秀传统文化,继承革命文化,发展社会主义先进文化的基础上,借鉴吸收人类一切优秀文明成果的基础上建立起来的;是通过把马克思主义基本原理同中国具体实际、同中华优秀传统文化相结合建立起来的。不断巩固中华民族文化主体性,就要牢牢把握新时代新的文化使命,着力巩固马克思主义在意识形态领域的指导地位、巩固全党全国人民团结奋斗的共同思想基础,着力建设具有强大凝聚力和引领力的社会主义意识形态、具有强大生命力和创造力的社会主义精神文明、具有强大感召力和影响力的中华文化软实力,不断铸就中华文化新辉煌,为建成社会主义文化强国奠定坚实基础。

  把培育和践行社会主义核心价值观作为凝魂聚气、强基固本的基础工程。核心价值观是一个民族赖以维系的精神纽带,是一个国家共同的思想道德基础。要完善培育和践行社会主义核心价值观制度机制,发挥政策导向作用,把社会主义核心价值观的要求体现到宪法法律、法规规章和公共政策之中,转化为具有刚性约束力的法律规定。充分发挥社会主义核心价值观凝聚人心、汇聚民力的强大力量,弘扬以伟大建党精神为源头的中国共产党人精神谱系,深化爱国主义、集体主义、社会主义教育,加强全社会的思想道德建设,激发人们形成善良的道德意愿、道德情感,着力培养担当民族复兴大任的时代新人。

  旗帜鲜明坚持党管宣传、党管意识形态。坚持党管宣传,就是坚持马克思主义基本立场、观点、方法,旗帜鲜明坚持党性原则,牢牢把握正确政治方向,站稳政治立场。坚决维护党中央权威和集中统一领导,从宏观上把握和反映事件或事物的全貌,坚定宣传党的理论和路线方针政策、中央重大工作部署和中央关于形势的重大分析判断,坚决同党中央保持高度一致。树立以人民为中心的工作导向,把服务群众同教育引导群众结合起来,把满足需求同提高素养结合起来,多宣传报道人民群众的伟大奋斗和火热生活,多宣传报道人民群众中涌现出来的先进典型和感人事迹,丰富人民精神世界,增强人民精神力量。要坚持宣传工作以团结稳定鼓劲、正面宣传为主,坚持巩固壮大主流思想舆论,弘扬主旋律,传播正能量,把握好时、度、效,提高宣传质量和水平,增强吸引力和感染力,激发全社会团结奋进的强大力量。

  意识形态工作是为国家立心、为民族立魂的工作。要坚持马克思主义在意识形态领域指导地位的根本制度,建设具有强大凝聚力和引领力的社会主义意识形态。按照高举旗帜、围绕大局、服务人民、改革创新的总要求,强化政治意识、政权意识、阵地意识,做好宣传思想工作,加强社会主义文化建设,壮大主流思想舆论,重点推动统一思想、凝聚力量。靠马克思主义真理的力量,靠深入细致的思想政治工作,用真理揭露谎言,让科学战胜谬误。把做好意识形态工作摆在重要位置,加强对意识形态阵地的管理,落实谁主管谁主办和属地管理,敢抓敢管、敢于亮剑,牢牢掌握意识形态工作主动权。

  把思想舆论阵地牢牢掌握在自己手中。牢牢掌握党对意识形态工作领导权,最基本也是最关键的就是要把思想舆论阵地牢牢掌握在自己手中,无论是对广播电视、新闻出版单位,还是对社科理论、文化艺术单位,无论是对传统媒体,还是对新兴媒体。习近平总书记高度重视阵地建设,强调“我们的同志一定要增强阵地意识”。党的十八大以来,以习近平同志为核心的党中央坚持党管媒体,坚持政治家办报、办刊、办台、办新闻网站,不断巩固壮大奋进新时代的主流思想舆论,筑牢全党全国人民团结奋斗的共同思想基础。

  要尊重新闻传播规律,确保媒体牢牢把握正确舆论导向,唱响主旋律,壮大正能量,做大做强主流思想舆论。强化互联网思维,推动传统媒体和新兴媒体优势互补、一体发展,在内容、渠道、平台、经营、管理等方面的深度融合,着力打造一批形态多样、手段先进、具有竞争力的新型主流媒体,形成立体多样、融合发展的现代传播体系。牢牢掌握网络意识形态工作领导权,坚决打赢网络意识形态斗争,确保网信事业始终沿着正确方向前进,过好互联网这一关。把各级各类媒体都置于党的领导之下,确保新闻宣传工作的领导权始终掌握在对党忠诚可靠的人手中。

  三、在担负起新的文化使命上积极作为

  习近平总书记指出,在新的起点上继续推动文化繁荣、建设文化强国、建设中华民族现代文明,是我们在新时代新的文化使命。坚守党的文化领导权和中华民族的文化主体性,就要坚持以习近平文化思想为指导,推动新时代新征程宣传思想文化工作不断强起来,在新的起点上继续担负起建设文化强国、建设中华民族现代文明的新的文化使命。

  全面落实意识形态工作责任制。要坚持党对文化的领导权,在面对社会思想观念和价值取向日趋活跃、主流和非主流同时并存、社会思潮纷纭激荡中,巩固和增强马克思主义在意识形态领域的指导地位,巩固和增强全党全国各族人民团结奋斗的共同思想基础,加快建设社会主义文化强国、增强文化软实力、提高中国在国际上的话语权。完善意识形态工作责任制,健全用党的创新理论武装全党、教育人民、指导实践工作体系,完善党委(党组)理论学习中心组学习制度,完善思想政治工作体系。严格执行党对意识形态工作全面领导的制度安排,推动全党动手抓宣传思想工作,守土有责、守土负责、守土尽责,敢抓敢管、敢于斗争,旗帜鲜明反对和抵制各种错误观点。加快构建中国自主的知识体系,推进中国特色哲学社会科学学科体系、学术体系、话语体系建设,立足中华民族伟大历史实践和当代实践,用中国道理总结好中国经验,把中国经验提升为中国理论,实现精神上的独立自主。加强国际传播能力建设,发挥好新兴媒体作用,增强对外话语的创造力、感召力、公信力,构建更有效力的国际传播体系。

  增强担负起新的文化使命的素质本领。坚持用党的创新理论指导文化发展方向,不断增强担负起新的文化使命的素质本领,打造勇担使命责任的宣传思想文化工作队伍,是做好文化工作的重要基础。要坚持习近平文化思想的科学指引,深化对文化建设的规律性认识,并自觉贯彻落实到宣传思想文化工作各方面和全过程。深入推进宣传思想文化工作改革创新,重点要抓好理念创新、手段创新、基层工作创新。构建适应全媒体生产传播工作机制和评价体系,推进主流媒体系统性变革,充分运用新技术新应用创新媒体传播方式,占领信息传播制高点。加快培养造就一支政治过硬、本领高强、求实创新、能打胜仗的宣传工作队伍,不断提高业务水平,奋力开创新时代宣传思想文化工作新局面。

  坚持和完善党领导文化发展的体制机制。坚持党的文化领导权,要着力形成在党委(党组)统一领导下的职责明确、齐抓共管的工作机制,构建起覆盖全党全社会的“大宣传”格局。完善正确导向的舆论引导机制,建立健全传统媒体和新兴媒体一体化管理的工作机制,构建网上网下一体、内宣外宣联动的主流舆论格局,建立以内容建设为根本、先进技术为支撑、创新管理为保障的全媒体传播体系。改进和创新正面宣传,健全重大舆情引导机制和舆情应对协同机制,建立健全网络综合治理体系。完善党委和政府监管有机结合、宣传部门有效主导的国有文化资产管理体制机制,建立健全把社会效益放在首位、社会效益和经济效益相统一的文化创作生产体制机制。完善公共文化服务体系,建立优质文化资源直达基层机制,健全社会力量参与公共文化服务机制,推进公共文化设施所有权和使用权分置改革。深化文化领域国资国企改革,分类推进文化事业单位深化内部改革,完善文艺院团建设发展机制。健全志愿服务体系,完善诚信建设长效机制,教育引导全社会自觉遵守法律、遵循公序良俗。

Adhere to the Party's cultural leadership and the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation
Source: "Red Flag Manuscript" 2024/14 Author: Song Yuehong 2024-07-27 11:23:31

General Secretary Xi Jinping made a profound exposition on the cultural construction of keeping the right and innovating at the symposium on cultural inheritance and development: "To keep the right is to keep the fundamental system of Marxism's guiding position in the field of ideology, to keep the fundamental requirement of 'two combinations', and to keep the cultural leadership of the Communist Party of China and the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation." This is a major innovative viewpoint proposed by General Secretary Xi Jinping who has profoundly summarized the historical experience of the Party and has insight into the general trend of the development of the times. It demonstrates a profound understanding of the role of cultural status in the new era and a scientific grasp of the Party's ideological work, and provides a strong political guarantee and strong spiritual power for the whole Party and people of all ethnic groups in the country to forge ahead towards the grand goal of building a strong country and national rejuvenation.

First, adhering to the Party's cultural leadership is related to the future and destiny of the Party and the country

Culture is related to the foundation and destiny of the country. The Communist Party of China has always attached great importance to using culture to guide the direction of progress and to gather the strength of struggle. It has united and led the people of all ethnic groups in the country to continuously promote the development of the cause of the Party and the people with new ideological and cultural awakening, new theoretical achievements, and new achievements in cultural construction. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has clearly proposed to uphold the Party's cultural leadership, profoundly expounded the extreme importance of the Party's leadership in propaganda, ideology and culture, and raised the Party's comprehensive leadership over propaganda, ideology and culture to a new historical height.

Upholding the Party's cultural leadership is a major political advantage for our Party to continue to grow and develop. It is vital for a political party to establish and consolidate cultural leadership. Marx and Engels emphasized that the proletarian party, as the most reliable leader of the proletariat, must not only continuously strengthen the "dominant economic power", but also persist in consolidating the "dominant spiritual power". In various historical periods of revolution, construction, and reform, our Party has always placed the construction of cultural leadership in an important strategic position and has always been an advocate and leader of advanced culture. The first resolution of the Party adopted at the First National Congress of the Party proposed: "The publication of all books, daily newspapers, slogans and leaflets shall be supervised by the Central Executive Committee or the Provisional Central Executive Committee." Comrade Mao Zedong once pointed out that ideological and political work is the lifeline of economic work and all other work. Comrade Deng Xiaoping proposed that we should not only build a high level of material civilization, but also a high level of spiritual civilization, "grasping both with both hands, and both hands must be strong." In the process of exploring the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics, our Party's understanding of the laws of cultural construction has been continuously deepened, and the grasp of the Party's cultural leadership has become more conscious, more proactive and more determined. Facts have fully proved that the development and growth of our Party are inseparable from the fruitful propaganda, ideological and cultural work.

Adhering to the Party's cultural leadership is an inevitable requirement for adhering to Marxism, the soul, and the excellent traditional Chinese culture, the root. The Communist Party of China is not only a firm believer and practitioner of Marxism, a faithful inheritor and promoter of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, but also a leading force in continuously promoting the "two combinations" and consolidating cultural subjectivity. Over the past 100 years, our Party has always unwaveringly upheld the guiding role of Marxism in the field of ideology, unswervingly inherited and carried forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture, promoted the "two combinations", and through the "combination" laid a solid foundation for the road, opened up innovation space, and consolidated cultural subjectivity. On the one hand, Marxism activated the genes of Chinese civilization with the light of truth, led China into the modern world, and promoted the life renewal and modern transformation of Chinese civilization; on the other hand, the excellent traditional Chinese culture enriched the cultural life of Marxism, promoted Marxism to continuously achieve a new leap in the sinicization and modernization, and showed an increasingly distinctive Chinese style and Chinese style. It is precisely because of the adherence to the Party's cultural leadership that the root of the excellent traditional Chinese culture has regained its brilliance and the soul of Marxism has flourished.

Adhering to the Party's cultural leadership is an important guarantee for shouldering the new cultural mission of the new era. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the world has accelerated its unprecedented changes in a century, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has entered a critical period. Cultural diversity and change have become more prominent, and exchanges, integration and confrontations have become increasingly frequent. To achieve ideological unity and unity of the whole Party and society, and fundamentally ensure that socialism with Chinese characteristics will not degenerate or change color, it is necessary to adhere to the Party's cultural leadership. "Two consolidations", "nine insistences", "fourteen emphasises" and "seven efforts", Xi Jinping's cultural thought and a series of important expositions and major decision-making arrangements made by General Secretary Xi Jinping on propaganda, ideology and culture work have always highlighted the adherence to and strengthening of the party's overall leadership, ensuring that the whole party moves forward in unison, promoting the propaganda, ideology and culture cause in the new era to achieve historic achievements, and the overall and fundamental changes in the ideological field. Continuing to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power, and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new starting point is our new cultural mission in the new era. By further strengthening ideological guidance and propaganda and education, it will surely better lead the whole party and society to strengthen cultural confidence and provide a strong political guarantee for promoting the construction of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics.

2. Adhere to the party's overall leadership over propaganda, ideology and culture work

Adhering to the party's cultural leadership and the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation, and constantly consolidating and strengthening the party's powerful cultural power to lead the times, is related to what kind of cultural power to build and how to build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation. We must adhere to the party's overall leadership over propaganda, ideology and culture work, implement political responsibilities, be brave in reform and innovation, strengthen legal guarantees, build a strong cadre and talent team, and provide a strong political guarantee for building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

Strengthen cultural confidence and constantly consolidate the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation. The cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation was established by the Chinese Communist Party leading the Chinese people on the land of China. It was established on the basis of creatively transforming and innovatively developing the excellent traditional Chinese culture, inheriting revolutionary culture, developing the advanced socialist culture, and drawing on and absorbing all the excellent achievements of human civilization. It was established by combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific reality and the excellent traditional Chinese culture. To continuously consolidate the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation, we must firmly grasp the new cultural mission of the new era, strive to consolidate the guiding position of Marxism in the field of ideology, consolidate the common ideological foundation for the unity and struggle of the whole party and the people of the whole country, strive to build a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and leadership, a socialist spiritual civilization with strong vitality and creativity, and a Chinese cultural soft power with strong appeal and influence, and constantly create new glory for Chinese culture and lay a solid foundation for building a socialist cultural power.

Take the cultivation and practice of the socialist core values ​​as a basic project to gather the soul and strengthen the foundation. The core values ​​are the spiritual bond that a nation relies on to maintain and the common ideological and moral foundation of a country. We must improve the institutional mechanism for cultivating and practicing the socialist core values, give play to the role of policy guidance, and reflect the requirements of the socialist core values ​​in the constitution, laws, regulations and public policies, and transform them into rigid and binding legal provisions. Give full play to the powerful force of the socialist core values ​​to unite people's hearts and gather people's strength, carry forward the spiritual spectrum of the Chinese Communists with the great spirit of party building as the source, deepen patriotism, collectivism, and socialism education, strengthen the ideological and moral construction of the whole society, inspire people to form good moral will and moral emotions, and strive to cultivate new people of the era who shoulder the great task of national rejuvenation.

Clearly adhere to the party's management of propaganda and ideology. Adhering to the party's management of propaganda means adhering to the basic standpoints, viewpoints, and methods of Marxism, clearly adhering to the principle of party spirit, firmly grasping the correct political direction, and standing firm in political positions. Resolutely safeguard the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, grasp and reflect the overall picture of events or things from a macro perspective, firmly publicize the party's theories, lines, principles, policies, major work arrangements of the Central Committee, and major analysis and judgments of the Central Committee on the situation, and resolutely maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee. Establish a people-centered work orientation, combine serving the masses with educating and guiding the masses, combine meeting needs with improving literacy, publicize more about the great struggles and fiery lives of the people, and more about the advanced models and touching deeds emerging among the people, enrich the people's spiritual world, and enhance the people's spiritual strength. We must insist that propaganda work should be based on unity, stability and encouragement, and positive propaganda. We must persist in consolidating and strengthening mainstream ideology and public opinion, promoting the main theme, spreading positive energy, grasping the timing, degree and effectiveness, improving the quality and level of propaganda, enhancing attraction and appeal, and inspiring the powerful force of unity and progress in the whole society.

Ideological work is the work of establishing the heart of the country and the soul of the nation. We must adhere to the fundamental system of Marxism's guiding position in the field of ideology and build a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and leadership. In accordance with the general requirements of holding high the banner, focusing on the overall situation, serving the people, and reforming and innovating, we must strengthen political awareness, political awareness, and position awareness, do a good job in propaganda and ideological work, strengthen socialist cultural construction, strengthen mainstream ideology and public opinion, and focus on promoting unified thinking and gathering strength.

General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the construction of positions and emphasizes that "our comrades must enhance their awareness of positions". Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has insisted on the party's control over the media, insisted on politicians running newspapers, magazines, radio stations, and news websites, and continuously consolidated and expanded the mainstream ideological and public opinion forging ahead in the new era, and laid a solid common ideological foundation for the unity and struggle of the whole party and the people of the whole country.

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that continuing to promote cultural prosperity, building a cultural power, and building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new starting point is our new cultural mission in the new era. To uphold the Party's cultural leadership and the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation, we must adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping's cultural thoughts, promote the continuous strengthening of propaganda, ideology and culture work in the new era and new journey, and continue to shoulder the new cultural mission of building a cultural power and building a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new starting point.

Fully implement the responsibility system for ideological work. We must uphold the Party's leadership over culture.

We must adhere to the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping's cultural thought, deepen the understanding of the laws of cultural construction, and consciously implement it in all aspects and throughout the process of propaganda, ideological and cultural work.
