Instruction on Party Building Comes after Lengthy Deliberation
Jiang Zemin, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, says he put a lot of thought into the well-known instruction on Party building.
This was disclosed by Jiang in a June 9 speech at the national conference of Party schools. "I put forward the remark after a long time of thinking," said Jiang in the 10,000-character speech to be published by Seeking Truth magazine on July 16.
Early this year, Jiang said 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.
In the process of carrying out the reform and opening up policy and developing the socialist market economy, the questions of what a Party should be and how it should be built are important and are directly related to the future of the Party and the country, Jiang said in the June 9 address.
"We have achieved some new experience in strengthening and improving the Party building," he said, emphasizing that the Party must adhere to the "three representatives" if it wants to abide by the theories on Party building set forth by Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping.
The "three representatives" is the aim for establishing the Party, the foundation for governing the country, and the source of power, Jiang said.
He urged all Party members, especially senior cadres, to consider the "three representatives" as they ponder the positive and negative experiences of the Party in its history, and also how the Party will withstand internal and external risks of various kinds in the future.
