Architect Deng's reform and opening-up theory

The Communist Party of China (CPC) has made great theoretical progress since the late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping called for bold measures to accelerate reform and opening-up during an investigation tour in south China's Guangdong Province in January 1992.

The remarks made by Deng, the architect of China's reform and opening-up, have had a far-reaching influence across the country and have boosted China's economic growth to a new stage.

President Jiang's "Three Represent's" theory

Put forward in 2000

In February 2000, Chinese President Jiang Zemin put forward a new party-building theory widely known as the "Three Represent's" theory, i.e, that the CPC represents the development requirements of China's advanced social productive forces, the progressive course of China's advanced culture, and the fundamental interests of the majority of the Chinese people.

This new theory has developed Deng Xiaoping Theory, and become the theoretical guideline for the CPC in the new century.

Elaborated in 2001

On July 1, 2001, Jiang Zemin, also general secretary of the Central Committee of the CPC, elaborated the "Three Represent's" theory in a speech at a grand gathering marking the 80th anniversary of the founding of the CPC.

In line with Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory

Jiang's theory is in line with Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory, firmly adhering to the ideological line of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts.

The third-generation CPC collective leadership with Jiang Zemin at the core has integrated the basic principle of Deng Xiaoping Theory with the realities of China's development and reform, and worked out a series of creative policies to handle various new situations.

CPC leaders acquire deeper understanding of the theory

Centering on the "Three Represent's" theory, the CPC's current instructive theories have made a great leap forward, symbolized by the 15th CPC National Congress and Jiang's July 1 speech last year.

From February 2000, when the theory was first put forward, to Jiang's July 1 speech, the third-generation CPC collective leadership acquired a deeper understanding of the "Three Represent's" theory.

For instance, the CPC has come up with a new standard for accepting people from diversified economic strata as its members.

Two theories push China forward

During the decade separating Deng's remarks and Jiang's "Three Represent's" theory, China basically established a socialist market economy with greatly improved economic and legal frameworks, resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong and Macao, and become a member of the World Trade Organization.

Armed with the "Three Represent's" theory, a treasure that ceaselessly increases the fighting capacity and the creativity of the party, the CPC will lead the Chinese people to make more splendent achievements in the new century.

President Jiang's Speeches on the "Three Represent's" Theory

In the new century, the great historical tasks for our Party are to continue the modernization drive, accomplish the great cause of the reunification of our motherland, safeguard world peace and promote common development.

Facing the profound changes in the domestic and international situations, our Party should follow closely the progressive trends of the world and unite and lead people of all ethnic groups throughout the country in seizing the opportunities and taking up challenges to accomplish the three major historical tasks successfully.

Records of Comrade Deng Xiaoping's Shenzhen Tour

In January 1992 at the crucial juncture of China's reform and opening up program, Comrade Deng Xiaoping paid an inspection tour to south China where he delivered a series of speeches aimed to clarify the muddled idea about whether the establishment of special economic zones is of "capitalism" or socialism" in nature.
