Before 1840, with its own original theory of governance, China developed itself and created a setof ancient principles known as the "China model". In 1840, the age-old "China model" was broken, and China began to learn statecraft from the outside world. The Communist Party of China, guided by Marxism and taking up the theory of socialism with Chinese characteristics as the framework, has developed this kind of learning to a very high level and made great achievement. But the socialism with Chinese characteristics, with Marxism and ancient Chinese traditional culture as its theoretical core, is in essence still the learned model from the existing ones. In the future, the Chinese Communist Party should gradually provide more advanced and original intellectual wealth to the world, and accomplish the transformation from the "learned model"to the"self-created model".
