Theoretical Logic and Value Anchors of Integrating the Spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China into Ideological and Political Theory Courses from the Perspective of Chinese Modernization

Chinese modernization is a remarkable achievement made by the Communist Party of China (CPC) through leading the people of all ethnic groups across the country in long-term exploration and practice in the new era, which provides a fundamental perspective for the reform and innovation of Ideological and Political Theory Courses (IPTC). Centering on basically realizing socialist modernization and striving to create a new situation in the advancement of Chinese modernization, the spiritual essence of The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee has injected distinct contemporary connotations into the IPTC. Integrating the spirit of the session into the IPTC is an inevitable requirement for the in-depth alignment of Chinese modernization, the session’s spirit and the IPTC in terms of goals, content and values, which abides by the law of historical development and the mechanism of systematic connection and transmission. At present, this integration still faces practical challenges, and we must optimize the paths by constructing a theoretical transformation system, innovating practical teaching models and improving long-term mechanisms, so as to achieve the in-depth integration of the three and make the IPTC a core position for cultivating qualified successors for the drive of modernization.
