The Constitution of the Chinese Communist Party outlines the ideological beliefs of the party, collectively referred to as Socialism with Chinese characteristics, which consist of Marxism–Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Three Represents, the Scientific Outlook on Development, and Xi Jinping Thought. Each successive leader of the CCP has added their own theories and beliefs to the party's constitution.
