About the Content
Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era was first announced during the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in October 2017 and subsequently written into the Party’s Constitution. Five months later in March 2018, the Thought was enshrined in the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China by China’s national legislature, the National People’s Congress. According to Chinese media, Xi Jinping Thought epitomizes the CPC’s latest achievements in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and encapsulates the practical experience and collective wisdom of the Party and the people. As a leading ideology, it will guide China’s pursuit of peace and development for at least the next decade, and will undoubtedly impact the entire world given China’s current status as an economic power. In the five new volumes added to the Studies on Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era series, the authors continue the discussion on the Thought from different angles, such as an outline of the Thought, China’s talent strategy, ideological and political education, the rule of law, and social governance.Over the years, China has acquired invaluable practical experience and achieved theoretical advancement in ideological and political education, which form the building blocks of the country’s socialist revolution, development, and reform.

In Xi Jinping on Ideological and Political Education, the authors elucidate the value of Xi Jinping’s expositions on ideological and political education.
