From China Elections and Governance:
… Hu Jintao stressed: Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the banner of development and progress in contemporary China and the banner of struggle in unity for the whole party and for the people of all ethnic groups in China. We must unswervingly uphold Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thinking of the “Three representations” as guide, deepen implementation of the scientific development concept, and unwaveringly uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Hu Jintao pointed out: Emancipating the mind, an essential requirement of the party’s ideological line and a magic weapon of ours in dealing with all kind of new situation and problems lying on the road ahead of us and in our continuous efforts to create a new phase in our cause, must be upheld firmly. Reform and opening up, which are essential to the institutional mechanism for liberating and developing the productive forces and for invigorating itself through continuous innovation and which constitute a powerful motive force for developing socialism with Chinese characteristics, must be firmly pushed forward. Scientific development and social harmony, which are basic requirements for developing socialism with Chinese characteristics and intrinsic requirements for achieving sound and fast economic and social development, must be firmly put in place. Building a well-off society in an all-round way, which is the goal our party and country will work to attain by 2020 and where the fundamental interest of the people of all ethnic groups across the country lies, must be firmly strived for. Firmly accomplishing these four things is vitally important to the overall interest of maintaining smooth development of the cause of the party and country. [Full Text]
