Resolution of the 20th National Congress on the Revised Constitution of the Communist Party of China (2022) – History, Amendments, and Significance
The Resolution of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on the Revised Constitution of the Communist Party of China, adopted on 22 October 2022 in Beijing, marked one of the most significant constitutional revisions in the history of the Party since the beginning of the New Era under Xi Jinping. Approved unanimously at the closing session of the 20th CPC National Congress, held in the Great Hall of the People, the resolution formally incorporated new political formulations, ideological developments, governance principles, and organizational requirements into the Party Constitution, thereby codifying the direction of the CPC for the decades ahead.
The amendment emerged within a broader historical trajectory extending back to the founding of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai and Jiaxing in July 1921, through the revolutionary victory of 1949, the reform era initiated in 1978, and the Party’s successive constitutional revisions adopted at major congresses. The 2022 revision reflected developments that occurred between the 19th National Congress in October 2017 and the 20th National Congress in October 2022, a period characterized by intensified efforts to strengthen Party leadership, promote modernization, and consolidate ideological unity.
Central to the resolution was the elevation of the latest developments in Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, which the document described as the Marxism of contemporary China and the twenty-first century. According to the resolution, the Party had continued the process of adapting Marxism to Chinese realities and contemporary conditions, combining Marxist principles with China’s historical experiences, cultural traditions, and developmental requirements. The amendment therefore incorporated theoretical innovations introduced since 2017 and reaffirmed the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought throughout Party and state affairs.
The revised Constitution also expanded historical narratives concerning the Party’s achievements during its first century. From the Party’s establishment in 1921 to the celebration of its centenary on 1 July 2021 in Beijing, the CPC emphasized its role in national liberation, socialist construction, economic reform, and modernization. The amendment added references to the Party’s original aspiration and founding mission, as well as its accumulated historical experience. It further introduced language emphasizing the importance of maintaining a fighting spirit and strengthening the ability to overcome challenges, concepts increasingly highlighted in official discourse during the late 2010s and early 2020s.
A notable constitutional addition concerned the declaration made by Xi Jinping during the Party’s centenary celebrations that China had achieved the First Centenary Goal, namely the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects. The revised text linked this accomplishment to the pursuit of the Second Centenary Goal, which envisions transforming China into a fully modern socialist country by the middle of the twenty-first century. These goals derive from long-term strategic planning developed by the CPC and articulated in successive Party congresses.
The resolution also codified the concept of Chinese modernization, identified as the central task of the Party on the new journey of the new era. Constitutional language was added regarding the socialist market economy, public ownership as the mainstay of the economic system, multiple forms of ownership, diverse methods of distribution, and the pursuit of common prosperity. References were inserted concerning the new development philosophy, characterized by innovation, coordination, green development, openness, and sharing, as well as the creation of a new development pattern emphasizing both domestic circulation and international economic interaction.
Historically significant was the inclusion of the Party’s strategic timetable for modernization. The Constitution now reflected the two-stage plan announced during the New Era: first, the basic realization of socialist modernization between 2020 and 2035; second, the transformation of China into a prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious, and beautiful socialist country between 2035 and the middle of the twenty-first century. This framework connected contemporary policy objectives with long-term national development goals.
In political and institutional matters, the amendment incorporated concepts associated with the Five-Sphere Integrated Plan and the Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy. New constitutional provisions referenced the socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics, whole-process people’s democracy, democratic consultation, democratic management, democratic decision-making, and democratic oversight. The revised text also stressed the importance of balancing development with national security, reflecting concerns that became increasingly prominent during the period after 2017.
The resolution further addressed national defense, foreign affairs, and territorial issues. Constitutional language was expanded to include strengthening the armed forces through reform, scientific and technological advancement, and personnel development. The document reiterated support for the One Country, Two Systems framework, originally formulated during the late twentieth century, while emphasizing opposition to activities promoting Taiwan independence. In foreign policy, the amendment endorsed the construction of a human community with a shared future, alongside commitments to peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom in international relations.
Another major theme was Party building and self-governance. The amendment incorporated the great founding spirit of the Communist Party of China, defined through ideals, commitment to mission, courage in struggle, and loyalty to the people. It strengthened constitutional references to combating corruption, improving political judgment and implementation, refining Party regulations, and advancing what was described as the Party’s ongoing process of self-reform. Additional provisions addressed disciplinary inspection mechanisms, organizational responsibilities, and the institutionalization of Party-history education.
Perhaps the most consequential political element was the constitutional affirmation of Xi Jinping’s core position within the Party and the guiding status of Xi Jinping Thought. The resolution characterized these developments as decisive achievements of the New Era and essential factors behind the Party’s successes in governance, national security, military reform, poverty alleviation, and national rejuvenation. Consequently, Party members were required to uphold the authority of the Central Committee, strengthen political alignment, and maintain unity under centralized leadership.
Adopted unanimously on 22 October 2022, the revised Constitution immediately entered into force. As a constitutional document governing the world’s largest political party, the amendment represented both a culmination of developments during the five years following the 19th National Congress and a formal blueprint for the Party’s future direction, embedding ideological, organizational, economic, and strategic priorities into the fundamental rules of the Communist Party of China.
Text of the Resolution
The following is the full text of a resolution on an amendment to the Constitution of the Communist Party of China (CPC) adopted Saturday at the closing session of the 20th CPC National Congress.
Resolution of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on the Revised Constitution of the Communist Party of China
Adopted on October 22, 2022
The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has deliberated and unanimously adopted the revised Constitution of the Communist Party of China proposed by the 19th Party Central Committee and has decided that it shall come into effect as of the date of adoption.
The Congress notes that adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times is a process of seeking, revealing, and applying truth. Since the Party’s 19th National Congress, the Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has continued to integrate the basic tenets of Marxism with China’s specific realities and fine traditional culture, put forward a series of new ideas, new thinking, and new strategies on national governance, and made continuous progress in enriching and developing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, thereby opening a new frontier in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times. Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is the Marxism of contemporary China and of the 21st century and embodies the best Chinese culture and ethos of this era.
The Congress unanimously agrees that the new developments in Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era since the Party’s 19th National Congress should be incorporated into the Party Constitution, so as to better reflect the major contributions made by the Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core to advancing the Party’s theoretical, practical, and institutional innovations. The Congress calls on all Party members to acquire a deep understanding of the decisive significance of establishing Comrade Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and establishing the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and to fully implement this Thought in all areas and stages of the work of the Party and the country.
The Congress affirms that, over the past century, the Party has always stayed true to its original aspiration and founding mission, and it has united and led the Chinese people in writing the most magnificent chapter in the millennia-long history of the Chinese nation. In doing so, it has made great achievements and accumulated valuable experience. The Congress approves the incorporation of the Party’s original aspiration and founding mission and its major achievements and historical experience over the past century into the Party Constitution. Having the courage to fight and the mettle to win gives the Party and the people unassailable strength. All the achievements were made through persistent hard work of the Party and the people. The Congress agrees to add to the Party Constitution a statement on carrying forward our fighting spirit and building up our fighting ability.
These additions are of great importance for inspiring all Party members to remain confident in our history, exhibit greater historical initiative, stay committed to the Party’s original aspiration and founding mission, pass on the traditions of revolution, fully appreciate the contemporary features of the great new struggle, and unite and lead Chinese people of all ethnic groups in achieving new successes in building socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
The Congress notes that, at the ceremony marking the centenary of the Communist Party of China, Comrade Xi Jinping solemnly announced on behalf of the Party and the people that we have realized the First Centenary Goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and that we are now marching in confident strides toward the Second Centenary Goal of building China into a great modern socialist country in all respects. The Party Constitution is revised to reflect this.
These revisions will help all Party members fully and faithfully grasp the new requirements for advancing the cause of the Party and the country on the new journey of the new era. They will enable us to rally the will and strength of the whole Party and the entire nation for realizing the Second Centenary Goal and the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.
The Congress notes that advancing the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on all fronts through a Chinese path to modernization has been proposed and designated as the central task of the Party on the new journey of the new era. Basic socialist economic systems, including the system under which public ownership is the mainstay and diverse forms of ownership develop together, the system under which distribution according to work is the mainstay while multiple forms of distribution exist alongside it, and the socialist market economy, are important pillars of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The Congress agrees to incorporate statements to that effect into the Party Constitution.
Also added to the Party Constitution are statements on gradually realizing the goal of common prosperity for all; having an accurate understanding of the new stage of development; applying a new philosophy of innovative, coordinated, green, open, and shared development; accelerating efforts to foster a new pattern of development that is focused on the domestic economy and features positive interplay between domestic and international economic flows; pursuing high-quality development; giving full play to the role of talent as the primary resource; and ensuring higher-quality and more efficient, equitable, sustainable, and secure development of the economy.
These revisions will help all Party members align their thinking and action with the Central Committee’s accurate assessment of the domestic and international environments and with the strategic plans for Party and state initiatives, act on the Party’s basic line with a stronger sense of purpose, and continue writing the great history of China’s development in the new era with new achievements.
The Congress recognizes that building a modern socialist country in all respects is a great and arduous endeavor; the future is bright, but we still have a long way to go. To build China into a great modern socialist country in all respects, a two-step strategic plan has been adopted: basically realizing socialist modernization from 2020 through 2035; and building China into a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious, and beautiful from 2035 through the middle of this century. The Party Constitution is revised accordingly. This will inspire all Party members to maintain firm confidence, forge ahead with enterprise and fortitude, and keep on working to accomplish the Party’s set goals.
The Congress notes that since the 19th National Congress, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has developed new ideas, new thinking, and new strategies for advancing the coordinated implementation of the Five-Sphere Integrated Plan and the Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy. The Congress agrees to add to the Party Constitution statements on following the path of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics; developing a broader, fuller, and more robust whole-process people’s democracy; establishing sound systems and procedures for democratic elections, consultations, decision-making, management, and oversight; and both pursuing development and safeguarding security.
These additions will play an important role in helping all Party members act with a stronger sense of purpose and greater resolve in implementing the Party’s basic theory, line, and policy, so as to comprehensively advance the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
The Congress also notes that since the 19th National Congress, Comrade Xi Jinping has put forward a series of new ideas, new thinking, and new strategies on national defense, the armed forces, the united front, and foreign affairs. It agrees to include in the Party Constitution statements on enhancing political loyalty in the military, strengthening the military through reform, science and technology, and personnel training, and running the military in accordance with the law; elevating the people’s armed forces to world-class standards; fully, faithfully, and resolutely implementing the policy of One Country, Two Systems; resolutely opposing and deterring separatists seeking “Taiwan independence”; holding dear humanity’s shared values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom; and advancing the building of an open, inclusive, clean, and beautiful world that enjoys lasting peace, universal security, and common prosperity.
These revisions reaffirm the Party’s commitment to building a strong military with Chinese characteristics, making sustained and steady progress with the One Country, Two Systems policy, advancing national reunification, promoting the building of a human community with a shared future, and leading the tide of human progress.
The Congress affirms that, guided by the belief that it takes a good blacksmith to forge good steel and based on a commitment to strengthening itself politically as the overarching principle, the Party has made significant advances in exercising full and rigorous self-governance. The major new achievements made and successful experience gained in Party building should be duly reflected in the Party Constitution to translate them into the common will of the entire Party and general rules followed by all Party members. The Congress thus agrees to add to the Party Constitution statements on carrying forward the Party’s great founding spirit, which comprises the principles of upholding truth and ideals, staying true to the Party’s original aspiration and founding mission, fighting bravely without fear of sacrifice, and remaining loyal to the Party and faithful to the people, and on using the Party’s own transformation to steer social transformation. It also agrees to add statements on improving the capacity for political judgment, thinking, and implementation and becoming more self-motivated and resolute in implementing the Party’s theories, lines, principles, and policies; on advancing the adaption of Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of our times; on the Party’s self-reform being a journey to which there is no end; on constantly improving the system of Party regulations; on strengthening the principal and oversight responsibilities for full and rigorous Party self-governance; on making integrated efforts to ensure that officials do not have the audacity, opportunity, or desire to become corrupt; and on adhering to the Party’s organizational line for the new era as a new fundamental requirement for Party building.
These additions will help all Party members maintain a spirit of self-reform, implement the Party’s strategic policy of full and rigorous self-governance, and further advance the great new project of Party building in the new era, thus ensuring that the Party grows stronger through revolutionary tempering and remains the strong leadership core in the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
The Congress notes that the Communist Party of China is the leadership core in advancing our cause and that the leadership of the Communist Party of China offers a fundamental guarantee for achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The Congress agrees to add to the Party Constitution statements on the Party being the highest force for political leadership and on upholding and strengthening the overall leadership of the Party. These additions will help the Party fulfill its core role of exercising overall leadership and coordinating the efforts of all sides and will help ensure that Party leadership is exercised in all aspects and every stage of the endeavors of the Party and the country.
The Congress notes that in view of the successful experience gained in Party work and Party building since the 19th Party Congress and in compliance with the revisions to the General Program, appropriate revisions to some articles of the Party Constitution are necessary.
The following are now included into the obligations of all Party members: study the history of the Party; strengthen consciousness of the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment with the central Party leadership; stay confident in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics; and uphold Comrade Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and uphold the Central Committee’s authority and its centralized, unified leadership.
To see that primary-level Party organizations play a key role in ensuring the exercise of the Party’s leadership, revisions are made in order to help strengthen Party building in hospitals, clearly define the status and functions of Party organizations in subdistricts, townships, towns, villages, and communities, and refine the responsibilities of Party committees and leading Party members groups in state-owned enterprises with regard to strengthening their own organizational development.
To fully reflect the achievements in Party work and Party building since the 19th National Congress, revisions are made in order to regularize and institutionalize activities to study Party history; require Party officials at all levels to oppose privilege-seeking mindsets and practices; amend provisions related to Party discipline; clearly define the coverage of dispatched discipline inspection teams; define major new tasks for commissions for discipline inspection; and adjust and enhance the functions and responsibilities of leading Party members groups.
These revisions will help all Party members uphold and strengthen the Central Committee’s centralized, unified leadership and enhance cohesion and forge the Party’s soul with Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. They will also help enhance the political and organizational functions of Party organizations, take strict steps to improve Party conduct and tighten Party discipline, and ensure full and rigorous self-governance of the Party.
The Congress notes that since entering the new era, the Party and the country have faced a situation of unparalleled complexity, a fight of unparalleled graveness, and tasks of unparalleled difficulty in promoting reform, development, and stability. Establishing Comrade Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and establishing the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era has enabled the Party to successfully resolve the acute problems and challenges undermining its long-term governance, the security and stability of the country, and the wellbeing of the people, to remove serious hidden dangers in the Party, the country, and the military, and to ultimately set the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation on an irreversible historical course. The establishment of both Comrade Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era represents a major political achievement for the Party in the new era and a decisive factor in the historic successes and changes in the cause of the Party and the country. All Party members must acquire a deep understanding of the decisive significance of this major achievement, more conscientiously uphold Comrade Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and uphold the Central Committee’s authority and its centralized, unified leadership, fully implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and closely follow the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core in thinking, political stance, and action.
The Congress calls on Party organizations at all levels and all Party members to follow the firm leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and carry forward the great founding spirit of the Party. They should become more conscious of the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment with the central Party leadership; have firm confidence in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics; uphold Comrade Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and uphold the Central Committee’s authority and its centralized, unified leadership; and more purposefully study, observe, apply, and uphold the Party Constitution. This will ensure that the entire Party strives in unity to build a modern socialist country in all respects and advance national rejuvenation on all fronts.
