China Emphasizes Homegrown Marxism for a New Era
Beijing – In a significant directive, Chinese President Xi Jinping called for a renewed focus on developing "Sinicized Marxism," a theory rooted in Chinese culture and experience. Addressing the ongoing research and construction of Marxist theory project, Xi emphasized the need to take inspiration from "the land of China, continuing with the Chinese cultural context."
Highlighting the project’s vital role in shaping the Communist Party’s ideological direction, Xi underscored its impact in generating high-quality research and bolstering Marxism’s preeminence in Chinese intellectual discourse. He urged researchers to connect Marxist theory to the realities of contemporary China and its journey towards modernization.
"We must adhere to integrity and innovation, focusing on learning and transparency to implement the Thought of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era," Xi stated. He challenged researchers to delve deeper into understanding this new era and its implications for Marxism, ultimately aiming to increase the relevance of party theory for ordinary citizens.
Cai Qi, a high-ranking member of the Communist Party’s Politburo Standing Committee, echoed Xi’s call in his address at the Working Conference of the Marxist Theory research Project in Beijing.
“The important guidance of General Secretary Xi Jinping deeply clarified the status and role of the theoretical research project and Marxist construction," Cai observed. He stressed the importance of Xi’s visionary guidance in shaping the project’s strategic direction.
Cai underscored the significance of grounding Marxist theory in Chinese experience, stating: "We must deeply understand the decisive meaning of ‘the two institutions’, resolutely carry out ‘the two protections,’ study and understand them, and implement them in an integrated way.”
This directive signifies a clear commitment from China’s leadership to further refine and adapt Marxist ideology to suit the country’s contemporary needs and aspirations. It emphasizes the importance of creating a uniquely Chinese intellectual framework that caters to the specific circumstances of the nation’s modernization drive.
The working conference saw participation from key figures in Chinese academia, including representatives from the Central Party School, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and university intellectuals. Experts and scholars engaged in discussions around integrating Xi Jinping Thought with Marxist principles, ultimately contributing to the development of a more comprehensive and relevant Marxist framework for the 21st century.
This renewed focus on Sinicized Marxism comes at a crucial juncture in China’s development. As the country seeks to navigate a rapidly evolving global landscape and assert itself on the world stage, grounding its ideology in a distinctly Chinese context could play a significant role in shaping its future trajectory.
