Our achievements over the past five years have been scored through
reform and opening up, especially through our practice since the
Fourth Plenary Session of the Thirteenth Central Committee in 1989.
These 13 years have witnessed a highly volatile international
situation and a magnificent upsurge of China's reform, opening up
and modernization. From the late 1980s to the early 1990s, there
occurred serious political disturbances in China, drastic changes in
Eastern Europe and the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Socialism
in the world suffered serious setbacks. China was faced with
unprecedented difficulties and pressure in its efforts to develop
the socialist cause. At this crucial historical juncture bearing on
the destiny of the Party and state, the Party Central Committee
relied firmly on all the comrades in the Party and the Chinese
people of all ethnic groups and unswervingly adhered to the line
prevailing since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central
Committee, and thus successfully brought the overall situation of
reform and development under control and safeguarded the great cause
of socialism with Chinese characteristics. After Comrade Deng
Xiaoping made remarks on his tour of the South, the Fourteenth
National Congress decided to establish a socialist market economy as
the goal of reform, thus ushering in a new stage for reform, opening
up and the modernization drive. To develop a market economy under
socialism is a great pioneering undertaking never tried before in
history. It is a historic contribution of the Chinese Communists to
the development of Marxism. It has given expression to our Party's
tremendous courage to persist in making theoretical innovation and
keeping pace with the times. The shift from the planned economy to
the socialist market economy represented a new historic breakthrough
in reform and opening up and brought about entirely new prospects
for China's economic, political and cultural progress. After the
demise of Comrade Deng Xiaoping, we held high the great banner of
Deng Xiaoping Theory and made pioneering efforts to advance the
cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics into the 21st
century in an all-round way.
Over the past 13 years, with clearly defined objectives, we worked
with one heart and one mind and scored historic achievements. In
2001, China's GDP reached 9.5933 trillion yuan, almost tripling that
of 1989, representing an average annual increase of 9.3 percent.
China came up to the sixth place in the world in terms of economic
aggregate. On the whole, the people made a historic leap from having
only adequate food and clothing to leading a well-off life. As is
universally recognized, the 13 years have been a period in which
China's overall national strength has risen by a big margin, the
people have received more tangible benefits than ever before, and
China has enjoyed long-term social stability and solidarity and had
a good government and a united people. China's influence in the
world has grown notably, and the cohesion of the nation has
increased remarkably. The hard work of our Party and people and
their great achievements have attracted worldwide attention and will
surely go down as a glorious page in the annals of the great
rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
A review of these 13 years shows that we have traversed a tortuous
course and that our achievements are hard won. We have responded
confidently to a series of unexpected international events bearing
on China's sovereignty and security. We have surmounted difficulties
and risks arising from the political and economic spheres and from
nature. We have gone through one trial after another and removed all
kinds of obstacles, thus ensuring that our reform, opening up and
modernization drive have been forging ahead in the correct direction
like a ship braving surging waves. We have attained these successes
by relying on the correct guidance of the Party's basic theory, line
and program, on the high degree of unity and solidarity of the Party
and on the tenacious work of the whole Party and the people of all
ethnic groups around the country.
Here, on behalf of the CPC Central Committee, I wish to express
our heartfelt thanks to the people of all our ethnic groups, the
democratic parties, people's organizations and patriots from all
walks of life, to our compatriots in the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region, the Macao Special Administrative Region and
Taiwan as well as overseas Chinese, and to our foreign friends who
care about and support China's modernization drive!
The practice of the 13 years has helped us acquire a deeper
understanding of what socialism is, how to build it, and what kind
of Party to build and how to build it, and we have gained most
valuable experience in this regard.
1. Uphold Deng Xiaoping Theory as our guide and constantly bring
forth theoretical innovation. Deng Xiaoping Theory is our banner,
and the Party's basic line and program are the fundamental
guidelines for every field of our work. Whatever difficulties and
risks we may come up against, we must unswervingly abide by the
Party's basic theory, line and program. We should persist in arming
the entire Party membership with Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong
Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory and using them to educate our
people. We should continue to emancipate our minds, seek truth from
facts, keep pace with the times and make innovations in a pioneering
spirit. We should respect the creativity of the general public and
test and develop the Party's theory, line, principles and policies
in practice.
2. Keep economic development as the central task and solve
problems cropping up on our way forward through development.
Development is the fundamental principle. We must seize all
opportunities to accelerate development. Development calls for new
ideas. We should stick to the principle of expanding domestic demand
and implement the strategy of national rejuvenation through science
and education and that of sustainable development. While seeking
speed, we should pay attention to structure, quality and efficiency,
and while propelling economic development, we should take into
consideration population, resources and the environment. On the
basis of economic growth, we need to promote all-round social
progress, constantly better people's lives and ensure that all the
people share the fruits of development.
3. Persevere in reform and opening up and keep improving the
socialist market economy. Reform and opening up are ways to make
China powerful. We must press ahead with the reform in all areas
resolutely. The reform must be promoted realistically,
comprehensively and progressively with breakthroughs made in key
areas and emphasis placed on institutional improvement and
innovation. We should follow the orientation of reform toward the
socialist market economy and make sure that the market forces playan
essential role in the allocation of resources under the state's
macroeconomic control. By both "bringing in" and "going out", we
should actively participate in international economic and
technological cooperation and competition and open wider to the
outside world.
4. Adhere to the Four Cardinal Principles (*Note 1) and develop
socialist democracy. The Four Cardinal Principles are the very
foundation on which we build our country. We must uphold leadership
by the CPC and consolidate and improve the state system-a people's
democratic dictatorship and the system of political power - the
people's congresses. We should uphold and improve the system of
multiparty cooperation and political consultation led by the
Communist Party and the system of regional ethnic autonomy. We
should promote political restructuring, develop democracy, improve
the legal system, rule the country by law, build a socialist state
under the rule of law and ensure that the people exercise their
rights as the masters of the country.
5. Attach equal importance to both material and spiritual
civilization and run the country by combining the rule of law with
the rule of virtue. Socialist spiritual civilization is an important
attribute of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Basing
ourselves on China's realities, we must carry forward the fine
tradition of our national culture and absorb the achievements of
foreign cultures in building socialist spiritual civilization. We
should unceasingly upgrade the ideological and ethical standards as
well as the scientific and cultural qualities of the entire people
so as to provide a strong motivation and intellectual support for
the modernization drive.
6. Ensure stability as a principle of overriding importance and
balance reform, development and stability. Stability is a
prerequisite for reform and development. We should take into full
consideration the momentum of reform, the speed of development and
the sustainability of the general public. Continued improvement of
people's lives must be regarded as an important link in balancing
reform, development and stability. We should press ahead with reform
and development amidst social stability and promote social stability
through reform and development.
7. Persevere in the Party's absolute leadership over the army and
take the road of fewer but better troops with Chinese
characteristics. The people's army is a staunch pillar of the
people's democratic dictatorship. It should meet the general
requirements of being qualified politically and competent militarily
and having a fine style of work, strict discipline and adequate
logistic support, with a view to enabling itself to win battles and
never degenerate, paying attention to strengthening itself through
science and technology and building itself into a more
revolutionary, modernized and regularized army. We must ensure that
the army is forever loyal to the Party, socialism, the motherland
and the people. |
