(11/08/2002)
China has attained tremendous achievements in various fields over
the past five years, Jiang Zemin said in his report to the 16th
National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Beijing
Friday morning.
"We have traversed an extraordinary course and scored tremendous
achievements in reform, development and stability, domestic and
foreign affairs and national defense and in running the Party, state
and army," he said.
The five years since the CPC 15th National Congress, Jiang said,
have been a period in which China has held high the great banner
of Deng Xiaoping Theory and kept blazing new trails in a pioneering
spirit, and a period in which the country has continued to forge
ahead triumphantly on the road to socialism with Chinese characteristics
in spite of difficulties and risks.
During the period, Jiang said, the national economy has maintained
a sustained, rapid and sound development, the reform and opening
up have yielded substantial results, notable progress has been registered
in improving socialist democracy and spiritual civilization, new
strides have been taken in strengthening national defense and army
building, the people have reached to a well-off standard of living
on the whole, fresh progress has been made in the great cause of
national reunification, and new prospects have been opened up in
the external work.
Jiang said that Party building has been strengthened in an all-
round way over the five years.
"All the Party members have steadily intensified their study
of Deng Xiaoping Theory. We have put forward and expounded the important
thought of Three Represents," he said.
Good results have been produced in the intensive education in the
need to stress study, political awareness and integrity and in the
study of Three Represents, Jiang said.
An all-out endeavor has been made to build up the Party ideologically,
organizationally and in work style, he said, adding that the endeavor
to build a clean and honest government and combat corruption has
been going on in depth and yielding fresh notable results.
"Facts prove that the major policy decisions taken by the
Central Committee at and since the 15th National Congress are correct
and accord with the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority
of the people," Jiang said.
Meanwhile, Jiang indicated that there are still quite a few difficulties
and problems in the country.
"We must pay close attention to these problems and continue
to take effective measures to solve them," Jiang said.
