The theory of the primary stage of socialism has enabled us to clearly understand the most important reality in China at present, while the theory of socialism at its primary stage has also enabled us to specify a series of principles and policies corresponding to the primary stage and the correct direction for the development at this stage. As long as we follow the requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping, consciously remain firm believers and faithful practitioners of the lofty ideal of communism and the common ideal of socialism with Chinese characteristics, neither do anything beyond the stage nor go against the basic principles of socialism, do our best to make continuous progress at the primary stage of socialism, we will be able to bring the primary stage of socialism to a higher stage of socialist society through further development, and we will finally be able to realize communism.
