Conducting a comparative study of the theoretical systems of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) is both a profound retrospective of the historical experience of the international communist movement and a systematic exploration of the development laws of Marxist party theory. As parties that undertook the important mission of leading the socialist cause at different historical periods, the formation and development of their theoretical systems were both rooted in specific historical contexts and social practices. However, in their long evolution, they exhibited different logical threads and value orientations. This difference stems from the different ways the two parties understand and interpret the basic principles of Marxism, and is also closely related to the different historical and cultural traditions, stages of social development, and international environments faced by the two countries. A thorough analysis of the similarities and differences between their theoretical systems can not only help us to more clearly grasp the practical forms of Marxist party theory under different national conditions, but also provide historical lessons and practical insights for the CPC in the new era to uphold and develop the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
