The “Opinions” points out that the cause of mass organizations is an important part of the Party's cause. The Party's mass organizations work is a regular and basic work for the Party to govern the country and manage government affairs. It is an important magic weapon for the Party organization to mobilize the broad masses of the people to strive for the completion of the Party's central task. The broad masses of the people linked by Trade Unions, Communist Youth League, Women's Federations and other mass organizations are the basic force for building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and for upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics. They are the basic support for comprehensively deepening reform, comprehensively promoting the rule of law, consolidating the Party's ruling position, and maintaining the long-term stability of the country. In the new situation, it is necessary to overcome and solve many inappropriate problems, unite the people around the Party to the greatest extent, build an iron wall against the interference and destruction of hostile forces at home and abroad and the "Color Revolution", and consolidate the mass foundation for the Party to govern the country.

To strengthen and improve the Party's mass organizations work under the new situation, we must unswervingly follow the path of development of the socialist mass organizations with Chinese characteristics, strengthen the Party's organizational leadership over the mass organizations work, promote the mass organizations to unite and mobilize the masses to make contributions around the central task, consciously foster and practice the core socialist values, support the mass organizations to strengthen their work of serving the masses and safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests, and play a role in socialist democracy, promote the reform and innovation of mass organizations, enhance their vitality, increase support and guarantee for mass organizations, and strengthen the construction of leading teams and cadres.

The “Opinions” have an important role in giving better play to the role of mass organizations, rallying the broad masses of the people more closely around the Party, achieving the "Two Centenary Goals" and realizing the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
