(Excerpts from "Speech at a Ceremony Marking the Centenary of the Communist Party of China" by Xi Jinping, Qiushi Journal, No. 04, 2021)
以史為鑑、開創未來，必須繼續推進馬克思主義中國化
As we put conscious effort into learning from history to create a bright future, we must continue to adapt Marxism to the Chinese context
馬克思主義是我們立黨立國的根本指導思想，是我們黨的靈魂和旗幟。中國共產黨堅持馬克思主義基本原理，堅持實事求是，從中國實際出發，洞察時代大勢，把握歷史主動，進行艱辛探索，不斷推進馬克思主義中國化時代化，指導中國人民不斷推進偉大社會革命。中國共產黨為什麼能，中國特色社會主義為什麼好，歸根到底是因為馬克思主義行！
Marxism is the fundamental guiding ideology upon which our Party and country are founded; it is the very soul of our Party and the banner under which it strives. 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. At the fundamental level, the capability of our Party and the strengths of socialism with Chinese characteristics are attributable to the fact that Marxism works.
新的征程上，我們必須堅持馬克思列寧主義、毛澤東思想、鄧小平理論、“三個代表”重要思想、科學發展觀，全面貫徹新時代中國特色社會主義思想，堅持把馬克思主義基本原理同中國具體實際相結合、同中華優秀傳統文化相結合，用馬克思主義觀察時代、把握時代、引領時代，繼續發展當代中國馬克思主義、21世紀馬克思主義！
On the journey ahead, we must continue to uphold Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Theory of Three Represents, and the Scientific Outlook on Development, and fully implement the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. We must continue to adapt the basic tenets of Marxism to China’s specific realities and its fine traditional culture. We will use Marxism to observe, understand, and steer the trends of our times, and continue to develop the Marxism of contemporary China and in the 21st century.
