白皮书强调，中国特色社会主义道路，是一条从本国国情出发确立的道路，是一条把人民利益放在首位的道路，是一条改革创新的道路，是一条在开放中谋求共同发展的道路，是一条全面依法治国的道路。
The white paper stresses that socialism with Chinese characteristics is a path based on China’s actual conditions, a path that prioritizes the people’s interests, a path of reform and innovation, a path of seeking common development through opening up, and a path of law-based governance.
