Xi underlined the need to focus on studying, promoting and implementing the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and promote innovation in deepening theoretical research and interpretation of the Thought in a systematic way to make the Party's innovative theories more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Yeah, uhh..... Thought has literal contradictions in it, and until they rectify those with something besides hand waving all this means is "make more propaganda".

The only real way to do that is going to be through a new National Congress where they can agree on what a new direction in Thought actually means for the economy.

The main problem that the CPC is having here is that not very many people in China believe they are in a Marxist country despite the standard of living being raised incredibly high, and they are not wrong to think that. In order for Marxism to actually develop in the populace Xi has to actually rectify contradictions in Thought and in the economy. Nobody in China believes in the "we're doing market socialism" lie anymore. The real problem here is that Xi Jinping Thought is like 7 years old, and if there's a revision this quick, it's a massive admission of failure in the CPC's view.
