The 20th National Congress of the CPC referred to “self-reform” as “the second answer” to the question of escaping the historical cycle of rise and fall of the Party, and stressed that “We must persevere with full and rigorous self-governance, continue to advance the great new project of Party building in the new era, and use our own transformation to steer social transformation.?” “Using our own transformation to steer social transformation” is another important theoretical innovation made by the Party since the 18th National Congress. ?The proposition is a continuation and development of Marxist revolutionary thought, a summary of the experience of a century of endeavor of the Communist Party of China, and an inevitable choice for realizing national rejuvenation. A careful study of the theoretical, historical and practical logic is helpful to deeply understand the significance of steering social transformation via self-reform of the Communist Party of China.
