Summary：The Communist Party of China (CPC) has undergone an incredible journey over the past century. Adapting Marxism to the Chinese context has been a glorious chapter in CPC's 100-year history, and an important tool that has enabled the CPC to capture victory after victory and bring about one achievement after another. In his speech at the ceremony marking the centenary of the CPC on July 1. 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping said, "The Communist Party of China upholds the basic tenets of Marxism and the principle of seeking truth from facts. Based on China's realities, we have developed keen insights into the trends of the day, seized the initiative in history, and made painstaking explorations. We have thus been able to keep adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of our times, and to guide the Chinese people in advancing our great social revolution." By reviewing the historical experience we have acquired through the CPC leading the Chinese people in integrating the basic tenets of Marxism with China's realities, we can now build a deep and accurate understanding of the laws and characteristics of Marxism that the CPC has upheld, enriched, and developed in different historical periods. Doing so is important for our efforts to uphold and develop Marxism from this new historical starting point, make constant progress in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context, and apply Marxism adapted to Chinese conditions as a guide in practice.>>Fold
