For every step forward in the Party's theoretical innovation, its theoretical armament must follow suit. At the conference on studying and implementing the General Secretary's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the General Secretary stressed that "we should take this education as an opportunity to strengthen the Party's armed with innovative theories, constantly raise the level of Marxism in the whole Party, and constantly improve the Party's governing ability and leadership." From the strategic perspective of the overall development of the cause of the Party and the state, this important exposition clarifies the significance of strengthening theoretical armament, points out the direction for the whole Party to carry out thematic education, and provides a fundamental guideline.

Theoretical maturity is the basis of political maturity, and political firmness comes from theoretical sobriety. After 10 years of innovative development in the new era, the General Secretary's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era constitutes a comprehensive, logical, rich, and organically unified scientific theoretical system. It marks a new height in the development of Marxism with original theoretical contributions, and is a new chapter for Chinese Communists in the new era to write a new chapter in adapting Marxism to Chinese conditions and The Times. It is the latest theoretical achievement and the greatest theoretical contribution to open up a new realm of Marxist development. The CPC Central Committee with Comrade General Secretary at its core not only has the courage to make theoretical innovations in practice, but also is good at guiding vivid practice with innovative theories. Over the past 10 years, the whole Party has carried out intensive intra-party study and education in areas such as the Party's mass line, "Three stricts and three earnests", "Two studies and one Action", "Staying true to our founding aspiration and bearing in mind our Mission", and Party history, to keep the Party's innovative theories firmly rooted in our minds and hearts. We must ensure that the whole Party always maintains a unified thinking, firm will, coordinated actions, and strong combat effectiveness, and ensure that the Party remains the backbone of the Chinese people and a strong leadership core that leads hundreds of millions of people courageously forward.

Mastering the depth of the Party's innovation theory determines the degree of political sensitivity, the breadth of thinking vision and the height of ideological realm. Only when the theory is truly mastered and applied by the Party cadres and the masses can it really play a leading role. Studying and implementing the General Secretary's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is a fundamental requirement for opening up new prospects for our cause and development on a new journey for a new era. At the very beginning of our new journey, we face complex international and domestic situations, arduous and arduous tasks of reform, development and stability, numerous contradictions, risks and challenges, and unprecedented tests of governance. To achieve the strategic goals set by the Party at its 20th National Congress, we must make more arduous and arduous efforts. We must constantly strengthen the people's confidence, strengthen their strength, and invigorate the national spirit. At present, more than ever, we need to unify our thinking, will and action with the General Secretary's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, enhance our political, ideological, theoretical and emotional recognition of the Party's innovative theories, and consolidate the ideological and theoretical foundation for rallying for development and making new contributions.

The deeper the study, the clearer the knowledge, the more true the letter.  In learning, we feel the guidance of thought, the inspiration of faith and the inspiration of spirit. With a firm grasp of the world outlook, methodology and the positions, viewpoints and methods of this thought, we should enhance our consciousness and integrity, understand and analyze problems, and carry out our work in a balanced and relaxed manner.

The Party's innovation theory is the most vivid Marxism to solve today's problems. We should integrate learning, thinking and application, and unify knowledge, belief and practice, turn the Party's innovative theories into a powerful ideological weapon for transforming both the subjective and objective world, and apply them to the implementation of the major strategic plans put forward at the Party's 20th National Congress. We will strengthen scientific theoretical guidance, improve our ability to observe, grasp, and guide The Times by applying the General Secretary's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and enhance our ability and level of work in advancing Chinese-style modernization, forestalling and defusing major risks, resolving various problems in economic and social development, and comprehensively and strictly governing the Party. Efforts should be made to translate the theoretical armament achievements into real work results.

To be guided by and armed with scientific theories is the fundamental guarantee for Marxist political parties to keep their advanced nature and purity forever, and is also the political advantage of our Party. Through this theme education, Party members and officials will be guided to use the General Secretary's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to solidify their hearts and forge their souls, transform the effectiveness of theoretical armed forces into a powerful force for firm ideals, tempering Party spirit, guiding practice, and promoting work, and create a new historic cause on the new journey of national rejuvenation.
