What is the policy that the 18th CPC National Congress must adhere to in consolidating and developing the broadest patriotic united front?

The principles that must be adhered to are:

First, hold high the banner of patriotism and socialism, unite all forces that can be United, mobilize all positive factors, and unswervingly implement the Party's basic line and basic program in the primary stage of socialism with one heart and one mind, so as to promote socialist economic construction, political construction, cultural construction and social construction, serve the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macao and the peaceful reunification of the motherland, and safeguard world peace and development.

Second, we must uphold the party's leadership over the United front: in the new historical period, although the tasks and internal structure of the United front have changed, the leadership of the * * * production party over the United front must not be shaken. The leadership of the party is the core issue of the United front. Only by adhering to the leadership of the * * * production party can an unbreakable United front be formed, which can have the correct direction, vigorous vitality and bright future and play its due role. This depends not only on the nature of China's socialist system, but also on the common aspirations and interests of people at all levels within the United front.

The third is to achieve the broadest unity under the banner of patriotism. The United front led by China's * * * production party has a glorious tradition of patriotism. In the new period, the members of the United front are mostly socialist laborers, builders and patriots who support socialism. The main body of the United front is socialism, and patriotism has strong appeal and cohesion, which is a powerful driving force for reunifying the motherland and rejuvenating China. No matter our compatriots in Taiwan Province Province, Hong Kong and Macao or overseas Chinese, as long as it is conducive to China's modernization, the reunification of the motherland and the rejuvenation of China; As long as it is conducive to national unity, social progress and people's happiness; They are all important members of the United front as long as they are conducive to opposing hegemonism and safeguarding world peace. Mao Zedong once pointed out: "We should adapt to the development requirements of the primary stage of socialism in China, strive to consolidate and develop the broadest patriotic United front, and enable Chinese people at home and abroad to achieve new unity and unity for the modernization of China and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."

Fourth, adhere to the policy of "long-term survival, mutual supervision, treating each other with sincerity, sharing weal and woe" and give full play to the important role of the United front in building Socialism with Chinese characteristics. In the new century and new stage, we should hold high the great banner of patriotism and socialism, give full play to the unique advantages of the United front in promoting social harmony, support CPPCC to perform its functions of political consultation, democratic supervision and participation in and discussion of state affairs around the two major themes of unity and democracy, continue to strengthen consultation with democratic parties, and further realize the regularization, institutionalization and procedure of political consultation, democratic supervision and participation in and discussion of state affairs. Strengthen the unity and harmony of all parties, groups, ethnic groups, people from all walks of life, strive to build the United front into a United front that adheres to the people-oriented principle and has strong cohesion, and become a United front with unprecedented universality and great inclusiveness, and constantly consolidate the broadest alliance of all socialist workers, socialist builders, patriots who support socialism and patriots who support the reunification of the motherland, and treat each other sincerely, share weal and woe and create brilliance together.
