B. Four beams and eight pillars
C. Fourteen adherences / Fourteen坚持
D. Eight clarifications
Your answer: C
Correct answer: C
Answer:
The correct answer is C. 十四个坚持 (the Fourteen Adherences / Fourteen坚持).
Detailed Explanation:
习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想 (Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era) systematically answers two major questions:
-
What kind of socialism with Chinese characteristics should we uphold and develop in the new era?
→ This is answered by the “八个明确” (Eight Clarifications), which outline the basic content and objectives. -
How should we uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era?
→ This is answered by the “十四个坚持” (Fourteen Adherences / Fourteen坚持), which constitute the basic strategy (基本方略) for carrying out this task.
At the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (October 2017), the Party officially summarized Xi Jinping Thought as including:
- “八个明确” (Eight Clarifications) — defining what the new era’s socialism looks like and what goals it pursues.
- “十四个坚持” (Fourteen坚持) — forming the basic strategy (新时代中国特色社会主义基本方略) for how to achieve it.
The “十四个坚持” are explicitly described in the 19th Party Congress Report as:
“新时代中国特色社会主义基本方略”，即“十四个坚持”。
They are:
- 坚持党对一切工作的领导
- 坚持以人民为中心
- 坚持全面深化改革
- 坚持新发展理念
- 坚持人民当家作主
- 坚持全面依法治国
- 坚持社会主义核心价值体系
- 坚持在发展中保障和改善民生
- 坚持人与自然和谐共生
- 坚持总体国家安全观
- 坚持党对人民军队的绝对领导
- 坚持“一国两制”和推进祖国统一
- 坚持推动构建人类命运共同体
- 坚持全面从严治党
Option analysis:
- A. “两不愁、三保障” — This refers to targeted poverty alleviation policy goals (no worry about food and clothing, guaranteed compulsory education, basic medical care, and safe housing), not the basic strategy.
- B. “四梁八柱” — A metaphorical term sometimes used to describe the overall framework of Xi Jinping Thought or the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, but not the official name for the basic strategy.
- D. “八个明确” — This is the theoretical content (what to uphold/develop), not the basic strategy (how to do it).
Therefore, the basic strategy (基本方略) for upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era is precisely summarized as “十四个坚持” — option C.
