Jiang's Speech Applauded by Academic Circle
Experts in China's academic circle voiced strong support to President Jiang Zemin's "July 1st" speech, in the belief that its spirit accords with the development rule of history and reflects the development trend of the times.
The experts are of the view that the speech, delivered at a grand gathering marking the 80th founding anniversary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Sunday by Jiang, also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, is a programmatic document of great historic significance that has unveiled a new chapter in the development process of Marxism.
Professor Xue Hanwei with Beijing University said that all great Marxists have consistently advocated the maintenance and development of Marxism and made great contributions to this end.
Xue said he believes that Jiang's speech has further enriched and developed Marxism by systematically summing up the past 80- year history of the CPC, explicitly expounding on the "Three Represent's," emphasizing the necessity of Party building, and outlining the historical tasks and targets of the CPC in the new century.
Professor Li Binxiong of Wuhan University said that the "Three Represent's" have answered the historical question of to what direction and in what way we should build the CPC. This is not only a continuation of but a new contribution to Marxism.
Professor Pang Yuanzheng with the Party School of the CPC Central Committee said he believes that Jiang's speech has clarified the relationship between social practice and theoretical innovation.
Social practice is a living source of theoretical development and in the meantime, continuous theoretical development can serve as a guide to social practice, he said.
