Zhang Fusen, minister of justice: China has made significant achievements in legal construction over the past 13 years due to the strong leadership of the CPC.

The basic practice of rule by law has been widely established throughout China, signifying an important milestone in the country's legal construction. It plays an irreplaceable role in maintaining social stability and promoting economic development and prosperity.

The Chinese socialist legal system with the Constitution at the core has been initially formed. The past 13 years have witnessed the formulation of more than 100 laws by the National People's Congress Standing Committee.

China has basically established legal systems in major aspects of politics and economy. And the set goal of forming a socialist legal system with Chinese characteristics by 2010 is being gradually brought to reality.

Law enforcement has gradually become standardized, procedure-based and legalized. Administration according to law by governments at all levels has been obviously improved.

The practice of governance by law in various administrative departments has maintained the authority of the law, as well the image of governments.

The three procedural systems - criminal procedure, civil procedure, and administrative procedure - have been built and perfected. The reform of the judicial system has been steadily put forward.

The campaign of widely spreading legal knowledge among people has achieved bumper fruits with people's legal consciousness radically enhanced.

Xie Chuntao, deputy director of the Central Party School's History Studies Department: Jiang Zemin's report stressed that the Party is the vanguard of the working class, it is also the vanguard of the Chinese people and the nation.

Many new social strata have come into being since the reform was launched in this country.

Although the working class, including the intellectuals, is boosting in the number of its members, it is only one of the social classes. As the ruling party in a socialist country, the CPC could not represent the interest of a single class only.

Party leader Jiang pointed out in the report that it is necessary to accept those outstanding elements from other strata of the society into the Party.

By absorbing people belonging to new social strata, it would expand the public support and increase the social influence of the Party.

In this way, the Party could represent the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the Chinese people both theoretically and in practice.

At the same time, the Party never compromises its requirement to new members. Whichever strata they are from, the new members must subscribe to the Party's programme and charter, work for the Party's line and programme wholeheartedly and prove to meet the requirements for the Party membership through a long period of tests.

The CPC will certainly achieve the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation since it brings all positive factors into full play and brings new forces to the cause.

Wang Ruixiang, deputy secretary of the Working Committee of Enterprises of the CPC Central Committee: It is the first time in the history of both the Party and State-owned enterprises (SOEs) that delegates from the enterprises are participating in the Party's National Congress as a separate delegation.

As the representatives of the SOEs, we are encouraged by Jiang Zemin's report that lists the deepening reform of the State property management as a major task, which will certainly create a sound environment for SOEs' further development.

Most of the 194 enterprises administered by the committee are closely associated with State security or national economic safety and are the backbone of the national economy.

Under the guidance of the Party and the "Three Represents" thought, those enterprises are faring well, maintaining strong growth momentum.
