Socialism with Chinese characteristics is an unprecedented historical initiative, without ready-made answers and conclusions. It is the result of the mutual promotion of practical innovation and theoretical innovation, promoting theoretical innovation through practical innovation, and guiding practical innovation through theoretical innovation. Therefore, only with sinicization and modernization can Marxism provide scientific theoretical guidance for the cause of the Party, and answer the questions of what kind of socialism to build, how to build socialism in China, and the times.

By adhering to the principle of seeking truth from facts and implementing such a combination, the cause of the Party and the state can develop smoothly and achieve success; If dogmatism is practiced without such a combination, the cause of the Party and the state will stagnate and encounter setbacks. The basic principles of scientific socialism have universal regularity, and its scientific truth can only be consolidated with the support of practice by combining it with China's actual situation, achieving a deepening transformation from universality to particularity, and demonstrating and proving the power of truth.

The inheritance and practice of excellent traditional Chinese culture by socialism with Chinese characteristics have provided a more solid historical context for the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Scientific socialism has not been "transplanted" or "grafted" to China for over a hundred years, but rather its values and propositions are highly compatible with the cosmology, worldview, social view, moral view, etc. contained in China's excellent traditional culture. It is the power of Marxist truth that has activated the great civilization created by the Chinese nation over thousands of years, and has once again unleashed a strong spiritual force in Chinese civilization.
