What's the CCP saying about Xi's third history resolution? Some top-line hints in party media:
It will interpret the CCP's 100-year history to answer two "important questions"
1. "Why were we able to succeed in the past?"
2. "How can we continue to succeed in the future?"

Xi's history resolution will hail four "great achievements"
1. New democracy revolution, 1919-1949
2. Socialist revolution & construction, 1949-1978
3. Reform and opening & socialist modernization, 1978-2012
4. Socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, 2012-?

Xi's history resolution will highlight "four changes"
1. Standing up to enslavement & bullying [by foreigners]
2. Moving toward modernization [CCP-style]
3. Opening up a road to success [that others could use?]
4. Revealing a bright future for national rejuvenation

Xi's history resolution will not overturn previous history resolutions
In particular, Deng's 1981 resolution that criticized the Cultural Revolution but protected Mao's legacy "still has important guiding significance today"
That echoes Xi's many speeches on CCP history

Xi's history resolution has "three musts"
1. Start a new journey to make China a socialist modern power by 2049
2. Strengthen the four consciousnesses, four confidences & two safeguards [~Xi's power]
3. Unite & lead the people to struggle for the China dream [embed Xi-ism]

Plenty more details about Xi's thinking in the very many, very long articles appearing in People's Daily and Xinhua in recent days, but useful to zoom out on possible overall frames for the history resolution. Sources:
