Editor's Note

The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China(CPC) in 2017 recognized Xi Jinping Thought on Social- ism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the latest milestone on the road that the CPC will follow for the foresee- able future, and has since writen it into the CPC Constitution. At the First Session of the 13th National People's Congress in 2018, the Constitution of the People's Republic of China was also amended to include this thought. These represented timely updates to the guiding philosophy of the Party and the country.

Embodying Marxism in contemporary China and in the 21st century, Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is the banner of the CPC in the new era. It steers the political and social activities of the coun- try, and is a guide to action for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The thought has also contributed a Chinese perspective and Chinese ideas to building a global community of shared future.

Since the 19th CPC National Congress, guided by this thought and remaining true to the Party's original aspiration and founding mission, the CPC Central Committee, with Xi Jinping as its core, has fully considered the overall goal of national reju- venation and the international situation in a context of change at alevel unseen ina century, and has coordinated eforts on the great struggle, the great project, the great cause and the great dream. The CPC Central Committee has handled with compo- sure a complex situation, with clearly increasing risks and chal- lenges both at home and abroad. It has furthered reform and opening up, fought for the final victory in building a moder- ately prosperous society in all respects, and achieved new breakthroughs in all undertakings of the Party and the country. China has also made a major contribution to world peace and development.

The first and second volumes of Xi Jinping: The Governance of China have received an enthusiastic response from China and other parts of the world. Since the 19th CPC National Congress, Xi Jinping has put forward many original ideas drawn from his experiences in state governance in the new era, charting the course in line with the times and further enriching the theoreti- cal base of the Party. To help officials and the public under- stand and apply Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, to strengthen their commitment to the Four Consciousnesses, the Four-sphere Confidence and the Two Upholds, and also to help the international community gain a full appreciation of the thought and the reasons for the success of the CPC, Marxism and Chinese socialism, the Public- ity Department of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council Information Office, with the support of the Research Institute of Party History and Literature of the CPC Central Committee and China International Publishing Group, have compiled a third volume of Xi Jinping: The Governance of China.

This volume contains a compilation of 92 of Xi Jinping's spoken and written works from October 18, 2017 to January 13. 2020, along with 41 photographs. It is divided into 19 sections by topic, with the articles in each section arranged in chrono- logical order. For ease of reading, notes are to be found at the end of relevant articles.
