The Construction Logic of the Reform Discourse of the Communist Party of China in the New Era

The remarkable achievements and in-depth promotion of reform and opening up have provided a solid cornerstone of discourse confidence and broad space for theoretical innovation for the Communist Party of China (CPC) to construct reform discourse in the new era. Relying on the strong vitality and creativity of reform and opening up, the CPC answers key issues such as the nature of China’s reform path and ideological foundations through people-oriented discourse; clarifies the major tasks of reform in the new era through strategic discourse; refutes discursive interference and dispels the ideological fog through combative discourse; clarifies the action logic of comprehensively deepening reform through tactical discourse; carries forward the spiritual value of the great practice of reform and opening up through leading discourse, and constructs an organic unified logic system that integrates the positioning, essence, expression, dissemination, and purpose of reform discourse. Clarifying the narrative logic of the CPC’s reform discourse in the new era is a necessary measure to effectively respond to Western discourse hegemony and construct the discourse power of socialist reform with Chinese characteristics.
