Abstract:

The history of the CPC's theory and practice has displayed a striking trait of innovation.The Marxist theoretical character of keeping pace with the times, the advanced political-party essence, and the value orientation of the Party building, determine the CPC's innovation-oriented trait.The historical legacy of the CPC's innovation finds expression in adhering to making Marxism Chinese-style, in efforts to keep its theory fresh, and in its capability to control the social development.The uninterrupted innovation is a requisite for consolidating the Party's long-term ruling position; the innovative quality is just a ruling quality.The innovative quality and capability represents an important aspect of testing a ruling Party's quality and capability.Both the logic of history and realistic requirements call forth to build an innovation-oriented Party.

Key words: innovative trait, innovation - oriented political party, historical tradition, ruling quality
