On October 1, 2012, Qiushi, a journal of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, published an article titled, “Adhere to and Develop Socialism with Chinese Characteristics – Unswervingly Walk on the Right Path That the Party and the People Opened up in their Long-term Practice.” Using the economic growth over the past 30 years as evidence, the article said that the only correct path to achieve national prosperity and the people’s happiness and well-being is the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
The article summarized Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin, and Hu Jintao’s “achievements” in terms of the development of socialism. “It is the choice of history, the choice of the people, and the choice of the times for China to take the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics.”
