The Thought on Socialism with Chinese characteristics for the new era takes continuous efforts to realize. it's different from the overall working agenda for a New Period, that we came across previosly, of which targets are periodical.
President Xi Jinping did not only put forward the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, but also elaborated on its contents, including upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics, the principal contradiction facing Chinese society in the new era, the overall plan for building socialism with Chinese characteristics, the overall goal of deepening reform in every field, the overall goal of comprehensively advancing law-based governance, the Party's goal of building a strong military in the new era, major country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics and the defining feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
This is a new historic juncture in China's development. The Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era sets the terms for future work from the communist party of China. This Thought must be adhered to and steadily developed on a long-term basis.
“新时代中国特色社会主义思想”与之前我们不断地谈到的“新时期我们的总体工作任务”里的“新时期”不一样的是：“时期”的工作任务往往是阶段性的，而“新时代”的工作任务往往是一个长期的、需要不断完善的部分。从“时期”到“时代”看上去一字之差，但实际上意味着：中国共产党在未来的发展过程中，会更加坚定地沿着中国特色社会主义道路去前进，而且在这个坚定前进的过程当中，我们有了更加明确的工作目标和工作任务。
