Abstract

Deng Xiaoping expounded his thoughts on sinicization of Marxism comprehensively and systematically from three aspects: the orientation and development of Mao Zedong’s thought, and the construction of the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics. He not only scientifically answered the question of the essence of socialism. He also made a historic contribution to Chinese Communist Party's scientific formulation of a set of the basic principles for the lines and policies that suit China's national conditions in the new era by perfecting and developing the proposition of sinicization of Marxism and adhering to the basic principle of combining the general principle of Marxism-Leninism with the concrete reality of Chinese socialism.
