The meeting also comes when China's endeavor to build a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way has entered the decisive stage, said Xi, also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission.

He made the remarks at a workshop attended by provincial and ministerial officials from Wednesday to Thursday in Beijing in preparation for the 19th CPC National Congress.

"Whether we can raise comprehensive, strategic and foresighted guidelines [at the congress] concerns the development of the causes of the Party and the nation, the destiny of socialism with Chinese characteristics as well as the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the Chinese people," he said.

The CPC must explicitly declare what banner to hold, what road to take, in what state of mind, what historic mission to shoulder and what target to achieve, he said.

"In planning and advancing various work of the Party and the state, we must thoroughly analyze and precisely evaluate the national, international and the Party's conditions under current circumstances," Xi said.

Such analysis will help map out the development blueprint and remind CPC members, especially leading officials at various levels, of potential dangers.

Both opportunities and challenges posed by the changing situation should be heeded during the analysis, Xi said, calling for utmost efforts to prepare for the worst while striving for the best results.

The workshop was presided over by Premier Li Keqiang and also attended by Zhang Dejiang, Yu Zhengsheng, Liu Yunshan, Wang Qishan and Zhang Gaoli, all members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.
