Xi urges efforts for new achievements
Currently, China is in a crucial period of realizing the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the revolutionary spirit must not be abandoned, Xi said, nor can the Party give up modesty, prudence, and its other traditions such as working hard, showing diligence and thrift, and guarding against arrogance and impetuosity.
The Party must maintain its courage, fearing no enemies or risks and daring to fight and win, he added.
Xi demanded the Party to stick to self-reform, which provides strong support for the Party's governance capacity. He urged efforts to advance the full and strict governance over the Party.
Xi also called for sound protection, management and utilization of sites and heritage related to the CPC's history. Historical nihilism should be opposed and resisted, he said.
He said the sites and heritage should be used to guide young people to foster ideals that carry forward the revolutionary traditions.
