In November 2012 the 18th CPC National Congress called for efforts to foster the core values of the pursuit of prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and goodwill. These values define the goals, purposes, and norms of the state, society, and individual citizens, and reflect the true meaning of Chinese socialism and what we cherish and promote in contemporary China.
