Inclusion of Xi thought will enrich Constitution

The second plenary session of the 19th Communist Party of China Central Committee has proposed to incorporate Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era into the Constitution, which reflects democracy and consensus building. The proposal is based on the common wish of the whole Party and the Chinese people of all ethnic groups, and embodies a high degree of unity between the Party's views and people's will, which will be of great practical and far-reaching historical significance in consolidating the common ideological foundation of the Party and the Chinese people of all ethnic groups to realize the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and establish socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

Internal requirement of constitutional development

China's Constitution, as the fundamental law of the State, is a set of principles for governance, and embodies the wishes of the Party and the people. Since its enactment, the extant Constitution has played a very important role in the country's reform and opening-up, its socialist modernization drive, and the Party's administration of State affairs.
