CPC Should Better Represent Advanced Culture: Xinhua CommentaryThe Communist Party of China (CPC) should better represent the progressive course of China's advanced culture, a Xinhua commentary said Sunday.To achieve this goal, the CPC must always stand in the forefront of the times, lead the nation to create an advanced culture befitting the times and historical developments, and become the leader and disseminator of such advanced culture, the commentary said. The Xinhua commentary came at a time when the Party is intensifying its efforts to study the recent important speech made by Jiang Zemin, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee. Jiang, also China's president, said during his inspection tour of south China's Guangdong Province earlier this year that the key to running China well lies in the CPC, in its ideology, style of work, organization, discipline, capabilities and leadership. The CPC will remain successful and enjoy the heartfelt support of the people of China so long as the Party earnestly 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 Chinese people, Jiang said. The speech represents a high condensation and scientific summary of the historical experience of the CPC in its efforts for revolution, construction and reform over the past 80 years, according to the commentary. The progressive course of the advanced culture means the building of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics, which is made up of two parts: socialist ideology and ethics, and modern science and culture. To represent the progressive course of this advanced culture, it is of the utmost importance that Marxism, Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory be always upheld as the guidelines, the commentary stressed. |
