leadership, and continued by Jiang Zemin, the core
of the third-generation central leadership.
He
said that Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory
and the important thought of "Three Represents" embody
the interests of the overwhelming majority of the
Chinese people. They have come down in one line, and
must always be adhered to by the Party, he stressed.

and make full use of the important strategic opportunities,
and concentrate all powers to build an overall well-off
society that will benefit the whole Chinese people.

issues, including the development of a socialist market
economy, implementation of political reforms, the

peace-loving and self-reliant foreign policy.
At

country with a civilization of several thousand years.
The Chinese people are a great people who have created
a splendid civilization, and the Chinese nation is
a great nation with the spirit of constantly striving
to become stronger and stronger. If we advance along
the broad road opened up by Marxist truth constantly,
we are sure to overcome all kinds of difficulties,
risks and challenges, and to reach the goal of socialist
modernization in triumph."
