The Communist Party of China is the vanguard of China’s working class, the Chinese people and the Chinese nation. Serving the people wholeheartedly is its abiding mission. The country is the people and the people are the country. The Party’s struggle to found a new China and develop it is for the people. Of the people, by the people for the people – this is what has guided the CPC from victory to victory over the past century.

Putting the People First

The CPC is dedicated to the people and forever puts their interests first. It follows the underlying trends of social development and respects people’s principle role in making history. It pursues the lofty goal of working for the wellbeing of the Chinese people; and does everything in the interest of the people.

The CPC is rooted in the people. It was born in 1921 in the great struggle against feudal rule and foreign aggression, at a time when Marxism-Leninism became integrated with China’s workers movement. From the very day of its creation, the CPC has represented China’s working class, the Chinese people and the Chinese nation. It has no special interest of its own, nor does it represent any interest group, establishment group, or privileged social group. Its only goals are to deliver happiness for the people and achieve national rejuvenation.

The CPC shares the same goals as the people, and it shares a common stake with the people. Drawing support and strength from the people, the Party has grown in strength in the fight to overcome every challenge.

Members of the CPC are ordinary people. They love life and are hard working. They are sincere, open and compassionate. But they are also vanguards and role models in daily life, work and public activities. They are the first to step forward in cases of challenges and dangers, fearless and ready to give their all for the country and the people. They emerge from the people and lead them to go forward. They are Communists- citizens of China both ordinary and extraordinary at the same time.

From its very beginning, the CPC has striven to serve the people and won their support and endorsement. It represents the fundamental interest of all the Chinese, and everything it does is to realize, safeguard and advance their interest. Meeting the people’s expectation for a better life is its goal.

The people’s interests are behind everything the Party does – leading revolution, building the armed forces, developing political institutions, boosting the economy, carrying out reform and opening up, developing culture, and exploring better ways of running society.

In China, the state founded by the people under CPC leadership is called the People’s Republic of China; its government is called the people’s government, the armed forces are called the People’s Liberation Army; and Party officials are people’s servants. The Party Central Committee’s newspaper is the People’s Daily, and China’s central bank is called the People’s Bank. The people are the lifeblood of the Party; indeed, they are the inexhaustible source of inspiration giving the Party all the strength it needs to fulfill its mission.

The CPC makes decisions and adopts policies in the fundamental interests of the people. At different stages of China’s revolution, reconstruction and reform, and at historical junctures critical to the future of the Party and the country, the Party has always acted to advance the people’s interests and oppose any action that harms them.

The Party has taken sound development as its top priority in governance It has unleashed and developed the productive forces to meet the people’s expectation for a better life. 

Since its 18^th National Congress, the CPC has followeda people-centered philosophy; it has launched a full range of initiatives to achieve common prosperity and uphold fairness and justice. It has delivered initial prosperity for all. It has fought COVID-19 and saved lives no matter the cost. It has eradicated absolute poverty in the country, implemented the rural revitalization strategy, and promoted a new people-focused urbanization strategy. The vision that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets inspires the drive to protect the environment. 

Determined that housing is for living in, not for speculation, the CPC has taken clear steps to keep the housing market under control. It sees that the capital market is properly regulated. It also sees that justice is served in every judicial case. All of this has enabled the people to fully share the country development gains.

Over the past century, through all the changes in the domestic and international environment, whether in good times or bad, the CPC has always put the people first. It has never wavered in fulfilling this commitment.

The CPC has made great sacrifices for the people. From the founding of the CPC in 1921 to the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949, more than 3.7 million identified members of organizations under Party leadership gave their lives to liberate the country. Of the six family members of Mao Zedong who died for the revolution, five were Party members.

In peaceful times, too, during disaster relief efforts after earthquakes, floods and other emergencies, Party members have rushed to the scene and risked their own lives to save the lives of others. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, close to 400 Party members and officials have lost their lives in the line of duty. More than 1,800 Party members and officials also gave their lives in the battle against absolute poverty. 

Among all those who have died were rank and file Party members, senior officials, and family members of top party leaders.
