Second, we must solve the problems of people’s heart and strength.The opposition between people’s hearts and strength is the key to the success or failure of the cause of the party and the people, and it is the biggest politics. The essential requirement of United front work is great unity and unity, which solves the problem of people’s heart and strength. This is a major issue that the party must make great efforts to solve in governing the country.
Third, we must correctly handle the relationship between consistency and diversity.The key is to persist in seeking common ground while reserving differences and carry forward "unity — Criticism — The fine tradition of "unity" seeks consistency in respecting diversity, finds the greatest common divisor and draws the greatest concentric circle.
Fourth, we must persist in developing and perfecting the new political party system in China.The United front must adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), and at the same time promote multi-party cooperation to show a new atmosphere, achieve new improvement in ideological consensus, and perform their duties and responsibilities to show new achievements. All democratic parties should be good advisers, helpers and colleagues of the Communist Party of China (CPC), and strive to become Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s participating parties with firm politics, solid organization, strong performance, excellent style and sound system.
Fifth, it is necessary to build a strong sense of the Chinese national community as the main line of the party’s national work.The consciousness of Chinese national community is the foundation of national unity. We should unswervingly follow the correct path of solving ethnic problems with China characteristics, push all ethnic groups to firmly identify with the great motherland, the Chinese nation, Chinese culture, the Communist Party of China (CPC) and Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and guide the people of all ethnic groups to firmly establish the community concept of sharing weal and woe, sharing weal and woe and sharing destiny.

Seventh, we must do a good job in the United front work of non-party intellectuals and new social strata.The work of non-party intellectuals is an important work of the United front. To do a good job of non-party intellectuals, full respect is the premise, strengthening guidance is the key, and giving play to its role is the purpose. People from new social strata are builders of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, so we should organize them, strengthen their guidance and play their role.
Eighth, we must promote the healthy development of the non-public economy and the healthy growth of people in the non-public economy.Promoting the healthy development of non-public economy and the healthy growth of non-public economic people is a major economic issue as well as a major political issue. It is necessary to carry out in-depth education on ideals and beliefs, promote the establishment of pro-Qing political and business relations, promote the high-quality development of private economy, and guide non-public economic people to be qualified builders of Socialism with Chinese characteristics’s cause.
Ninth, we must give play to the role of United front work in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and overseas to win people’s hearts.We will develop and strengthen our patriotic love for Hong Kong and Macao, enhance the national consciousness and patriotic spirit of our compatriots in Hong Kong and Macao, safeguard the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macao, and ensure the steady and far-reaching practice of "one country, two systems". Carry out the Party’s general plan to solve the Taiwan Province issue in the new era, develop and strengthen Taiwan Province’s patriotic unity force, oppose the "Taiwan independence" separatist acts, and promote the complete reunification of the motherland. Focusing on the theme of sharing the Chinese dream with the same circle, we will actively guide overseas Chinese and their relatives to devote themselves to the great cause of modernization and peaceful reunification of the motherland.
Tenth, we must strengthen the team building of non-party representatives.It is our party’s consistent policy to train and use non-party representatives. It is necessary to strengthen training, improve quality, use and play a role scientifically, and strive to train a group of non-party representatives who work closely with our party.
Eleventh, we must grasp the law of doing a good job in United front work.It is necessary to strengthen unity and contact with non-party people, adhere to the principle of respecting, safeguarding and taking care of the interests of allies, treat them with sincerity, moving with emotion, understanding with reason and helping them with reality, truly win the respect and recognition of non-party people, and make a large number of non-party friends for the party.
Twelfth, we must strengthen the party’s overall leadership over the United front work.The United front is the United front led by the party, and it is necessary to ensure the party’s overall leadership over the United front work. The United front work is the work of the whole party, which must be paid attention to by the whole party and done by everyone together, so as to build a pattern of great United front work with unified leadership of the Party Committee, coordination led by the United front department, and respective responsibilities of relevant parties.
The important thought of doing a good job in the party’s United front work in the new era is the wisdom crystallization of the party’s United front development in the past 100 years, and it is the fundamental guideline of the United front work in the new era. The whole party must implement it completely, accurately and comprehensively.
