Li Peng said Saturday that Jiang Zemin's report at the opening of the
16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) is a
guiding principle for opening up new prospects in building socialism
with Chinese characteristics.
He made the remarks Saturday morning while participating in a group
discussion of Chongqing delegation.
Commending Jiang's report as a general summary of the great
achievements and basic experiences of the Party's leadership in the past
13 years, Li said, "We should always stick to these experiences in
the upcoming historical process of building a well-off society in an
all-round way and creating a new situation in building socialism with
Chinese characteristics."
The economic objective of quadrupling the 2000 gross domestic product
by the year 2020 and increasing markedly China's overall national
strength and international competitiveness is an inspiring goal for all
Chinese people in the next two decades, which Li believes will
"definitely come true".
Li referred to the report as embodying many important ideological
innovations such as refraining from dogmatic interpretations of Marxism,
saying "this is the source from which our Party will remain
vigorous, and a guarantee for the Party to be invincible."
With regard to socialist democratic politics, he said Jiang's report
is rich in the content of political civilization, with governing and
building China by the rule of law being a major component.
China's Constitution and laws well integrate the Party's propositions
with people's wills, he said, adding that "No individual or
organization could surmount them."
"We should follow the requirements of Jiang's report and ensure
that our Party be always the vanguard of China's proletariat and the
Chinese people as a whole," Li said.
