中國特色社會主義的總依據(jù)

中國特色社會主義的總依據(jù)是社會主義初級階段。社會主義初級階段是當代中國的基本國情、基本實際。中國共產(chǎn)黨和中國政府在任何情況下都要牢牢把握這個國情，推進任何方面的改革發(fā)展都要牢牢立足這個實際。不僅在經(jīng)濟建設(shè)中要始終立足初級階段，而且在政治建設(shè)、文化建設(shè)、社會建設(shè)、生態(tài)文明建設(shè)中也要始終牢記初級階段；不僅在經(jīng)濟總量低時要立足初級階段，而且在經(jīng)濟總量提高后仍然要牢記初級階段；不僅在謀劃長遠發(fā)展時要立足初級階段，而且在日常工作中也要牢記初級階段。

The General Premise of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics

Socialism with Chinese characteristics is premised on the fact that China is in the primary stage of socialism. All reform initiatives by the CPC and the Chinese government must be taken with due regard to present-day China’s actual context. Efforts to promote economic, political, cultural, social and ecological progress must proceed on a clear understanding that China is still in the primary stage of socialism. Such an understanding should inform all aspects of our work, including longterm planning and day-to-day operations, even when our economic aggregates have shown clear improvement.
