Focusing on Building a Socialist Cultural Powerhouse to Promote Reform and Opening-Up in the New Era

The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed the reform task of ‘focusing on building a socialist cultural powerhouse’ and made special arrangements for cultural construction, providing comprehensive guidance and fundamental principles for creating a new splendor of socialist culture at a new historical starting point. As the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation enters a critical period, we must deeply study, comprehend, and implement Xi Jinping’s cultural thought, implement the deployment requirements of the plenary session on cultural construction, fully stimulate cultural innovation and creativity, constantly enhance the cultural sense of fulfillment and happiness of the people, and provide spiritual strength and support for the comprehensive construction of a socialist modern powerhouse, the adherence to and expansion of the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and the promotion of modernization of national governance. Enhancing cultural self-confidence to promote the innovation and development of socialist culture is a crucial task. It will not only enrich the spiritual and cultural life of the people but also play a significant role in advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. As we focus on building a socialist cultural powerhouse, it is essential to promote the development of a diversified and inclusive cultural ecosystem. This approach will enable cultural elements to thrive and contribute to the comprehensive revitalization of the nation. Strengthening the construction of cultural institutions and fostering a strong cultural workforce are vital aspects of building a socialist cultural powerhouse. By enhancing the protection, inheritance, and innovation of traditional culture, we can preserve our cultural heritage and promote its sustainable development. Embracing cultural diversity and promoting the integration of traditional and contemporary cultural expressions will inspire creativity and enrich the cultural landscape of our society. The engagement and participation of the people in cultural activities are essential for the vitality and prosperity of socialist culture. By encouraging creativity and innovation at all levels of society, we can unleash the potential of individuals and communities to contribute to the flourishing of socialist culture. In the new era, the promotion of cultural exchanges and cooperation, both domestically and internationally, is crucial for enhancing mutual understanding, respect, and collaboration among different civilizations. By building bridges through cultural diplomacy, we can foster peace, friendship, and cooperation across borders and contribute to the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.
