Hu Jintao on Innovation in Party Theory and Practice
Leading Party and government officials at all levels must promote innovation in Party theory and practice, to brace for stronger global competition and fulfill the arduous task of domestic construction and reform, said a senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Thursday, March 1.
"Entering the new century, we must continue along our modernization course, achieve the reunification of the motherland, safeguard world peace, and promote common development," said Hu Jintao, a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau.
Hu, also president of the Party School of the CPC Central Committee, was speaking at the opening ceremony of the school's spring semester. He said that the country's focus is economic construction, which is the root solution to both domestic and international issues.
He also stressed the importance of Party building, saying that whether during the revolutionary period or the peaceful construction era, Party building is the key to the victory of the Party cause, and is closely linked with the nation's future and development.
In the 21st century, he said, Party building must be strengthened and improved in accordance with the requirement of the "three representatives" , as put forth by Jiang Zemin, general secretary of the Communist Party of China.
Jiang said the Party will remain successful and enjoy the whole-hearted support of the people of China and lead them to constantly advance so long as it always 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 overwhelming majority of the Chinese people.
The strengthening of the Party's ideology must adhere to the "three representatives," Marxism-Leninism and the theories set forth by Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping as the foundation for governing the country, tool for observing the world and source of theoretical power.
He urged all Party members, especially leading officials, to study, research and popularize the important theories of the " three representatives" as the guideline for their thought and action.
The "three representatives" also must be adhered to while carrying out personnel system reform, cadre election, rural development, and the reform of State-owned enterprises.
In the new situation and faced with new tasks, we must further strengthen the construction of the Party's style of work, and adhere to the Party's fine style of work: seeking truth from facts, integrating theory with practice, criticism and self-criticism, going to the grassroots and being free from arrogance and rashness.
We should make full use of successful experiences in the long- term practice of the Party, and carry out development and renovation in new modes of practice, he said.
Zeng Qinghong, an alternate member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and head of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, also attended the ceremony.
The Party school Thursday opened a website in its digital library, which is themed to face the challenge of information technology development and modernize the school's research facilities.
Via computer, teaching and studying staff at the Party School can browse the website for data bases of research documents on Deng Xiaoping Theory and obtain information on the 1.3 million books in the school's library.
