The Institutional Foundation and Practical Significance of the Four-Sphere Confidence
The system of socialism with Chinese characteristics is closely linked to the “Four Confidences”, and this connection is reflected in several key institutional areas. A system guided by Marxism provides a clear direction for the “Four Confidences”. The system of centralized and unified leadership by the Party Central Committee serves as the fundamental political guarantee for upholding the “Four Confidences”, while the system of people’s congresses also provides important political and institutional support. On the new journey of the new era, we must rely on the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics to further strengthen the “Four Confidences”. To achieve this goal, we must unwaveringly uphold and improve these three systems in the process of national governance. Only in this way can the “Four Confidences” be consolidated and play a more significant role in practical work.
