Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the use of Bottomline Thinking, and has made a series of discussions about it. Bottomline Thinking is a method of thinking and working to prepare for the worst and strive for the best results. It is a scientific method to nip problems in the bud and firmly grasp the initiative. The core contents of Bottomline Thinking mainly include the political bottom line, ideological bottom line, economic bottom line, social bottom line, ecological bottom line, bottom line of foreign exchanges and bottom line of party building. The Bottomline Thinking enriches and develops Marxist philosophical methodology, expands and deepens the governance wisdom accumulated in the centurylong history of CPC, and transforms and surpasses the wisdom of traditional Chinese culture.Bottomline Thinking provides scientific thinking and working methods for preventing and defusing major risks, ensuring the fulfillment of goals and tasks, and guiding the governance practice.
