NEW DIRECTIONS IN THE IDEOLOGY OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY OF CHINA DURING THE PERIOD OF THE REFORM AND OPENING-UP POLICY
The following paper studies the new trends in the ideology of the Communist Party of China (CPC) after Deng Xiaoping proclaimed the policy of reform and openingup. During this period, the CPC managed to combine the general principles of Marxism with the specific tasks facing the country. The Chinaspecific theory of socialism takes into account the socio-economic, political, ideological, and cultural characteristics of Chine. In this regard, the building of the “xiaokang shehui” society (moderately prosperous society) is the core of the PRC’s politics, which influences the choice of economic reforms strategy.
