On the Internal and Natural Relationship between the Two Great Theoretical Achievements

Throughout history, the Chinese Communist Party undertook two great revolutions with its people and achieved two great theoretical achievements: Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping's Theory. There is an internal and natural relationship between the two. Firstly, they are an integrate scientific system that can be traced to the same origin; secondly, Deng Xiaoping's Theory is the inheritance of and adherence to Mao Zedong Thought; thirdly, Deng Xiaoping's Theory is a development and an enriching of Mao Zedong Thought in many aspects. Thus, the two theories cannot be separated or set against each other. Deng Xiaoping's Theory will be applied to practice well provided that the basis of Marxism and Mao Zedong Thought is not to be ignored.
