We must hold high the great banner of Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of “Three Represents”, submit ourselves unswervingly to the directions of the Central Committee of the CPC, the Central Military Commission and Chairman Hu, which should be regarded as the fundamental political demand for ensuring a correct orientation of army building and therefore, be carried out in strengthening our political belief in the important thought of “Three Represents”, in the resolute implementation of the decisions and directives of Chairman Hu and the Central Military Commission and in the actual action of being subordinated to the overall interest and supporting the on-going reform. We must seriously implement the “Decisions” of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 16th CPC Central Committee and the “Opinions” of the Central Military Commission and strengthen earnestly the Party organizations at all levels, particularly in terms of making efforts in building up capability and winning success so as to offer credible organizational support for ensuring the army to obey command. We must follow the requirements of the Central Committee of the CPC and the Central Military Commission earnestly, do a real good job in the education of maintaining the advanced nature of Party members and boost constructions in various fields to achieve new successes.
