八、“一国两制”和实现祖国的完全统一

VIII. "One Country, Two Systems" and Complete National Reunification　　

【趣味英语】春节小知 世界节日（1）Spring

实现祖国的完全统一，是海内外中华儿女的共同心愿。我们成功解决了香港问题和澳门问题，正在为早日解决台湾问题、完成祖国统一大业而继续奋斗。

To achieve complete reunification of the motherland is a common aspiration of all sons and daughters of the Chinese nation both at home and abroad. We have successfully resolved the questions of Hong Kong and Macao and are striving for an early settlement of the question of Taiwan and for the accomplishment of the GREat cause of national reunification.

香港和澳门回归祖国，丰富了“一国两制”的理论和实践。事实证明，“一国两制”方针是正确的，具有强大的生命力。我们将坚定不移地实行这一方针，严格按照香港基本法和澳门基本法办事，全力支持香港和澳门两个特别行政区行政长官和政府的工作，广泛团结港澳各界人士，共同维护和促进香港和澳门的繁荣、稳定和发展。

The return of Hong Kong and Macao to the motherland has enriched the concept of "one country, two systems" in both theory and practice. Facts prove that "one country, two systems" is a correct policy and has strong vitality. We will resolutely implement this policy and act in strict accordance with the basic laws of Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions. We will render full support to the chief executives and governments of the two regions in their work and unite with people from all walks of life there in a joint effort to maintain and promote the prosperity, stability and development of Hong Kong and Macao.

我们坚持“和平统一、一国两制”的基本方针和现阶段发展两岸关系、推进祖国和平统一进程的八项主张，同台湾同胞一道，加强两岸人员往来和经济文化等领域的交流，坚决反对台湾分裂势力。两岸关系的基本格局和发展趋势没有改变。台湾同胞求和平、求安定、求发展的意愿日益增强。台湾分裂势力的分裂活动不得人心。

We will adhere to the basic principles of "peaceful reunification" and "one country, two systems" and the eight-point proposal on developing cross-straits relations and advancing the process of peaceful national reunification at the present stage. We will work with our compatriots in Taiwan to step up personnel exchanges and promote economic, cultural and other interflows between the two sides and firmly oppose the Taiwan separatist forces. The basic configuration and development trend of the cross-straits relations remain unchanged. The desire of our Taiwan compatriots for peace, stability and development is growing stronger day by day. The splitting activities by the Taiwan separatist forces are unpopular.

坚持一个中国原则，是发展两岸关系和实现和平统一的基础。世界上只有一个中国，大陆和台湾同属一个中国，中国的主权和领土完整不容分割。对任何旨在制造“台湾独立”、“两个中国”、“一中一台”的言行，我们都坚决反对。台湾前途系于祖国统一。开展对话，进行和平统一谈判，是我们的一贯主张。我们再次呼吁，在一个中国原则的基础上，暂时搁置某些政治争议，尽早恢复两岸对话和谈判。在一个中国的前提下，什么问题都可以谈，可以谈正式结束两岸敌对状态问题，可以谈台湾地区在国际上与其身份相适应的经济文化社会活动空间问题，也可以谈台湾当局的政治地位等问题。我们愿与台湾各党派和各界人士就发展两岸关系、推进和平统一交换意见。

Adherence to the one-China principle is the basis for the development of cross-straits relations and the realization of peaceful reunification. There is but one China in the world, and both the mainland and Taiwan belong to one China. China's sovereignty and territorial integrity brook no division. We firmly oppose all words and deeds aimed at creating "Taiwan independence", "two Chinas" or "one China, one Taiwan". The future of Taiwan lies in the reunification of the motherland. To conduct dialogue and hold negotiations on peaceful reunification has been our consistent position. Here we repeat our appeal: On the basis of the one-China principle, let us shelve for now certain political disputes and resume the cross-straits dialogue and negotiations as soon as possible. On the premise of the one-China principle, all issues can be discussed. We may discuss how to end the cross-straits hostility formally. We may also discuss the international space in which the Taiwan region may conduct economic, cultural and social activities compatible with its status, or discuss the political status of the Taiwan authorities or other issues. We are willing to exchange views with all political parties and personages of all circles in Taiwan on the development of cross-straits relations and the promotion of peaceful reunification.

解决台湾问题、实现祖国的完全统一，我们寄希望于台湾人民。台湾同胞具有光荣的爱国主义传统，是发展两岸关系的重要力量。我们充分尊重台湾同胞的生活方式和当家作主的愿望。两岸应该扩大交流交往，共同弘扬中华文化的优秀传统。实现两岸直接通邮、通航和通商，是两岸同胞的共同利益所在，完全应该采取实际步骤积极推进，开创两岸经济合作的新局面。We place our hopes on the people in Taiwan for the settlement of the Taiwan question and the realization of the complete reunification of China. Our compatriots in Taiwan have a glorious patriotic tradition and are an important force in developing cross-straits relations. We fully respect their life style and their wish to be the masters of our country. The two sides should expand mutual contacts and exchanges and work together to carry forward the fine tradition of the Chinese culture. As the direct links of mail, air and shipping services, and trade across the Taiwan Straits serve the common interests of the compatriots on both sides, there is every reason to take practical and positive steps to promote such direct links and open up new prospects for cross-straits economic cooperation.

“一国两制”是两岸统一的最佳方式。两岸统一后，台湾可以保持原有的社会制度不变，高度自治。台湾同胞的生活方式不变，他们的切身利益将得到充分保障，永享太平。台湾经济将真正以祖国大陆为腹地，获得广阔的发展空间。台湾同胞可以同大陆同胞一道，行使管理国家的权利，共享伟大祖国在国际上的尊严和荣誉。

"One country, two systems" is the best way for the reunification between the two sides. After its reunification with the mainland, Taiwan may keep its existing social system unchanged and enjoy a high deGREe of autonomy. Our Taiwan compatriots may keep their way of life unchanged, and their vital interests will be fully guaranteed. They will enjoy a lasting peace. Taiwan may then truly rely on the mainland as its hinterland for economic growth and thus get broad space for development. Our Taiwan compatriots may join the people on the mainland in exercising the right to administer the country and sharing the dignity and honor of the great motherland in the international community.

两千三百万台湾同胞是我们的手足兄弟，没有人比我们更希望通过和平的方式解决台湾问题。我们将继续坚持“和平统一、一国两制”的基本方针，贯彻八项主张，以最大的诚意、尽最大的努力争取和平统一的前景。我们决不承诺放弃使用武力，不是针对台湾同胞的，而是针对外国势力干涉中国统一和台湾分裂势力搞“台湾独立”图谋的。维护祖国统一事关中华民族的根本利益，中国人民将义无反顾地捍卫国家主权和领土完整，绝不允许任何人以任何方式把台湾从中国分割出去。

The 23 million Taiwan compatriots are our brothers and sisters of the same blood. No one is more eager than we are to resolve the Taiwan question through peaceful means. We will continue to implement the basic principles of "peaceful reunification" and "one country, two systems" and act on the eight-point proposal. We will work in utmost sincerity and do all we can to strive for a peaceful reunification. Our position of never undertaking to renounce the use of force is not directed at our Taiwan compatriots. It is aimed at the foreign forces' attempts to interfere in China's reunification and the Taiwan separatist forces' schemes for "Taiwan independence". To safeguard national unity bears on the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation. We Chinese people will safeguard our state sovereignty and territorial integrity with firm resolve. We will never allow anyone to separate Taiwan from China in any way.

国家要统一，民族要复兴，台湾问题不能无限期地拖延下去。我们坚信，通过全体中华儿女共同努力，祖国的完全统一就一定能够早日实现。

China will be reunified, and the Chinese nation will be rejuvenated. The Taiwan question must not be allowed to drag on indefinitely. We are convinced that with the concerted efforts of all sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, the complete reunification of the motherland will be achieved at an early date.

九、际形势和对外工作　

IX. The International Situation and Our External Work　　

和平与发展仍是当今时代的主题。维护和平，促进发展，事关各国人民的福祉，是各国人民的共同愿望，也是不可阻挡的历史潮流。世界多极化和经济全球化趋势的发展，给世界的和平与发展带来了机遇和有利条件。新的世界大战在可预见的时期内打不起来。争取较长时期的和平国际环境和良好周边环境是可以实现的。

Peace and development remain the themes of our era. To preserve peace and promote development bears on the well-being of all nations and represents the common aspirations of all peoples. It is an irresistible trend of history. The growing trends toward world multipolarization and economic globalization have brought with them opportunities and favorable conditions for world peace and development. A new world war is unlikely in the foreseeable future. It is realistic to bring about a fairly long period of peace in the world and a favorable climate in areas around China.

但是，不公正不合理的国际政治经济旧秩序没有根本改变。影响和平与发展的不确定因素在增加。传统安全威胁和非传统安全威胁的因素相互交织，恐怖主义危害上升。霸权主义和强权政治有新的表现。民族、宗教矛盾和边界、领土争端导致的局部冲突时起时伏。南北差距进一步扩大。世界还很不安宁，人类面临着许多严峻挑战。

However, the old international political and economic order, which is unfair and irrational, has yet to be changed fundamentally. Uncertainties affecting peace and development are on the rise. The elements of traditional and non-traditional threats to security are intertwined, and the scourge of terrorism is more acutely felt. Hegemonism and power politics have new manifestations. Local conflicts triggered by ethnic or religious contradictions and border or territorial disputes have cropped up from time to time. The North-South gap is widening. The world is far from being tranquil and mankind is faced with many grave challenges.

不管国际风云如何变幻，我们始终不渝地奉行独立自主的和平外交政策。中国外交政策的宗旨，是维护世界和平，促进共同发展。我们愿同各国人民一道，共同推进世界和平与发展的崇高事业。

No matter how the international situation changes, we will, as always, pursue the independent foreign policy of peace. The purpose of China's foreign policy is to maintain world peace and promote common development. We are ready to work with all nations to advance the lofty cause of world peace and development.

我们主张顺应历史潮流，维护全人类的共同利益。我们愿与国际社会共同努力，积极促进世界多极化，推动多种力量和谐并存，保持国际社会的稳定；积极促进经济全球化朝着有利于实现共同繁荣的方向发展，趋利避害，使各国特别是发展中国家都从中受益。

We stand for going along with the historical tide and safeguarding the common interests of mankind. We are ready to work with the international community to boost world multipolarization, promote a harmonious coexistence of diverse forces and maintain stability in the international community. We will promote the development of economic globalization in a direction conducive to common prosperity, draw on its advantages and avoid its disadvantages so that all countries, particularly developing countries, can benefit from the process.

我们主张建立公正合理的国际政治经济新秩序。各国政治上应相互尊重，共同协商，而不应把自己的意志强加于人；经济上应相互促进，共同发展，而不应造成贫富悬殊；文化上应相互借鉴，共同繁荣，而不应排斥其他民族的文化；安全上应相互信任，共同维护，树立互信、互利、平等和协作的新安全观，通过对话和合作解决争端，而不应诉诸武力或以武力相威胁。反对各种形式的霸权主义和强权政治。中国永远不称霸，永远不搞扩张。

We stand for establishing a new international political and economic order that is fair and rational. Politically all countries should respect and consult one another and should not seek to impose their will on others. Economically they should complement one another and pursue common development and should not create a polarization of wealth. Culturally they should learn from one another and work for common prosperity and should not exclude cultures of other nations. In the area of security, countries should trust one another and work together to maintain security, foster a new security concept featuring mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality and coordination, and settle their disputes through dialogue and cooperation and should not resort to the use or threat of force. We oppose all forms of hegemonism and power politics. China will never seek hegemony and never go in for expansion.

我们主张维护世界多样性，提倡国际关系民主化和发展模式多样化。世界是丰富多彩的。世界上的各种文明、不同的社会制度和发展道路应彼此尊重，在竞争比较中取长补短，在求同存异中共同发展。各国的事情应由各国人民自己决定，世界上的事情应由各国平等协商。

We stand for maintaining the diversity of the world and are in favor of promoting democracy in international relations and diversifying development models. Ours is a colorful world. Countries having different civilizations and social systems and taking different roads to development should respect one another and draw upon one another's strong points through competition and comparison and should develop side by side by seeking common ground while shelving differences. The affairs of each country should be left to the people of that country to decide. World affairs should be determined by all countries concerned through consultations on the basis of equality.

我们主张反对一切形式的恐怖主义。要加强国际合作，标本兼治，防范和打击恐怖活动，努力消除产生恐怖主义的根源。

We stand for fighting against terrorism of all forms. It is imperative to strengthen international cooperation in this regard, address both the symptoms and root causes of terrorism, prevent and combat terrorist activities and work hard to eliminate terrorism at root.

我们将继续改善和发展同发达国家的关系，以各国人民的根本利益为重，不计较社会制度和意识形态的差别，在和平共处五项原则的基础上，扩大共同利益的汇合点，妥善解决分歧。

We will continue to improve and develop relations with the developed countries. Proceeding from the fundamental interests of the people of all countries concerned, we will broaden the converging points of common interests and properly settle differences on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, notwithstanding the differences in social system and ideology.

我们将继续加强睦邻友好，坚持与邻为善、以邻为伴，加强区域合作，把同周边国家的交流和合作推向新水平。

We will continue to cement our friendly ties with our neighbors and persist in building a good-neighborly relationship and partnership with them. We will step up regional cooperation and bring our exchanges and cooperation with our surrounding countries to a new height.

我们将继续增强同第三世界的团结和合作，增进相互理解和信任，加强相互帮助和支持，拓宽合作领域，提高合作效果。

We will continue to enhance our solidarity and cooperation with other third world countries, increase mutual understanding and trust and strengthen mutual help and support. We will enlarge areas of cooperation and make it more fruitful.

我们将继续积极参与多边外交活动，在联合国和其他国际及区域性组织中发挥作用，支持发展中国家维护自身的正当权益。

We will continue to take an active part in multilateral diplomatic activities and play our role in the United Nations and other international or regional organizations. We will support other developing countries in their efforts to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.

我们将继续坚持独立自主、完全平等、互相尊重、互不干涉内部事务的原则，同各国各地区政党和政治组织发展交流和合作。

We will continue to develop exchanges and cooperation with political parties and organizations of all countries and regions on the principles of independence, complete equality, mutual respect and noninterference in each other's internal affairs.

我们将继续广泛开展民间外交，扩大对外文化交流，增进人民之间的友谊，推动国家关系的发展。

We will continue to carry out extensive people-to-people diplomacy, expand cultural exchanges with the outside world, enhance the friendship between peoples and propel the development of state-to-state relations.

世界正向着光明和进步的目标迈进。道路是曲折的，前途是光明的。和平的力量，正义的力量，进步的力量，终究是不可战胜的。

The world is marching toward brightness and proGREss. The road is tortuous, but the future is bright. The forces for peace, justice and progress are invincible after all.　　

十、强和改进党的建设　　

X. Strengthen and Improve Party Building　　

在我们这样一个多民族的发展中大国，要把全体人民的意志和力量凝聚起来，全面建设小康社会，加快推进社会主义现代化，必须毫不放松地加强和改善党的领导，全面推进党的建设新的伟大工程。

In a large multi-ethnic developing country like ours, we must spare no efforts to strengthen and improve the Party's leadership and fully advance the GREat new undertaking of Party building if we are to rally the entire people to work heart and soul in building a well-off society in an all-round way and speed up the socialist modernization drive.

加强和改进党的建设，一定要高举邓小平理论伟大旗帜，全面贯彻“三个代表”重要思想，保证党的路线方针政策全面反映人民的根本利益和时代发展的要求；一定要坚持党要管党、从严治党的方针，进一步解决提高党的领导水平和执政水平、提高拒腐防变和抵御风险能力这两大历史性课题；一定要准确把握当代中国社会前进的脉搏，改革和完善党的领导方式和执政方式、领导体制和工作制度，使党的工作充满活力；一定要把思想建设、组织建设和作风建设有机结合起来，把制度建设贯穿其中，既立足于做好经常性工作，又抓紧解决存在的突出问题。通过锲而不舍的努力，保证我们党始终是中国工人阶级的先锋队，同时是中国人民和中华民族的先锋队，始终是中国特色社会主义事业的领导核心，始终代表中国先进生产力的发展要求，代表中国先进文化的前进方向，代表中国最广大人民的根本利益。

To strengthen and improve Party building, we must hold high the GREat banner of Deng Xiaoping Theory, implement the important thought of Three Represents in a comprehensive way and ensure that the Party's line, principles and policies fully reflect the fundamental interests of the people and the requirements of development of our times. We must adhere to the principle that the Party exercises self-discipline and is strict with its members, and further address the two major historical subjects of how to enhance the Party's art of leadership and governance and how to raise the Party's capacity to resist corruption, prevent degeneration and withstand risks. We must acquire an accurate understanding of social progress in contemporary China, and reform and improve the Party's way of leadership and governance and its leadership and working systems so that the Party will be full of vigor and vitality in its work. We must proceed with Party building ideologically, organizationally and in work style in parallel with institutional improvement, not only ensuring a good performance of our day-to-day work, but also tackling prominent issues in good time. Unyielding efforts will be made to ensure that our Party is forever the vanguard both of the Chinese working class and of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation as well as the core of leadership in building socialism with Chinese characteristics and that it always represents the development trend of China's advanced productive forces, the orientation of China's advanced culture and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the Chinese people.

（一）深入学习贯彻“三个代表”重要思想，提高全党的马克思主义理论水平。党在思想理论上的提高，是党和国家事业不断发展的思想保证。必须把党的思想理论建设摆在更加突出的位置。坚持用马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想和邓小平理论武装全体党员，在全党兴起一个学习贯彻“三个代表”重要思想的新高潮。党员干部特别是高中级干部要带头学习和实践“三个代表”重要思想，成为勤奋学习、善于思考的模范，解放思想、与时俱进的模范，勇于实践、锐意创新的模范。在全党深入进行马克思主义发展史的教育，大力弘扬求真务实、开拓进取的精神，不断深化对共产党执政规律、社会主义建设规律和人类社会发展规律的认识，不断丰富和发展马克思主义。

1. Study and implement the important thought of Three Represents intensively and raise all Party members' level of the Marxist theory. The rise in the Party's ideological and theoretical level is an ideological guarantee for continued proGREss of the cause of our Party and state. We must highlight the Party's ideological and theoretical building. We must continue to arm all Party members with Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thoughtand Deng Xiaoping Theory and usher in a new upsurge in the study and implementation of the important thought of Three Represents. Party members and cadres, particularly senior and middle-rank cadres, should take the lead in studying and acting on the important thought of Three Represents. They should play an exemplary role in studying diligently, using their brains, emancipating their minds, keeping pace with the times and boldly engaging in practice and innovation. We will carry out an intensive education among all Party members in the history of development of Marxism and promote the truth-seeking and pioneering spirit. We will deepen our understanding of the laws on governance by the Communist Party, on building socialism and on development of huma society and constantly enrich and develop Marxism.

（二）加强党的执政能力建设，提高党的领导水平和执政水平。面对执政条件和社会环境的深刻变化，各级党委和领导干部要不辱使命、不负重托，就要适应新形势新任务的要求，在实践中掌握新知识，积累新经验，增长新本领。必须以宽广的眼界观察世界，正确把握时代发展的要求，善于进行理论思维和战略思维，不断提高科学判断形势的能力；必须坚持按照客观规律和科学规律办事，及时研究解决改革和建设中的新情况新问题，善于抓住机遇加快发展，不断提高驾驭市场经济的能力；必须正确认识和处理各种社会矛盾，善于协调不同利益关系和克服各种困难，不断提高应对复杂局面的能力；必须增强法制观念，善于把坚持党的领导、人民当家作主和依法治国统一起来，不断提高依法执政的能力；必须立足全党全国工作大局，坚定不移地贯彻党的路线方针政策，善于结合实际创造性地开展工作，不断提高总揽全局的能力。

2. Build up the Party's governing capacity and improve its art of leadership and governance. Faced with profound changes in the conditions of governance and social environment, Party committees and leading cadres at all levels must, in response to the requirements of the new situation and new tasks, acquire new knowledge, accumulate new experience and develop new abilities in practice, thus living up to the mission assigned to them and the full trust placed on them. They must view the world with broad vision, acquire a correct understanding of the requirements of the times and be good at thinking on a theoretical plane and in a strategic perspective so as to improve their ability of sizing up the situation in a scientific way. They must act in compliance with objective and scientific laws, address promptly the new situation and problems in reform and development, know how to seize opportunities to accelerate development and enhance their abilities of keeping the market economy well in hand. They must correctly understand and handle various social contradictions, know how to balance the relations among different interests, overcome difficulties and go on improving their ability of coping with complicated situations. They must enhance their awareness of law and know how to integrate the adherence to Party leadership and the people being the masters of the country with ruling the country by law and improve their abilities of exercising state power according to law. They must base themselves on the overall interests of the work of the entire Party and the whole country, firmly implement the Party's line, principles and policies, work creatively in light of realities and keep enhancing their ability of commanding the whole situation.

（三）坚持和健全民主集中制，增强党的活力和团结统一。民主集中制是民主基础上的集中和集中指导下的民主相结合的制度。党内民主是党的生命，对人民民主具有重要的示范和带动作用。要以保障党员民主权利为基础，以完善党的代表大会制度和党的委员会制度为重点，从改革体制机制入手，建立健全充分反映党员和党组织意愿的党内民主制度。扩大在市、县进行党的代表大会常任制的试点。积极探索党的代表大会闭会期间发挥代表作用的途径和形式。按照集体领导、民主集中、个别酝酿、会议决定的原则，完善党委内部的议事和决策机制，进一步发挥党的委员会全体会议的作用。改革和完善党内选举制度。建立和完善党内情况通报制度、情况反映制度和重大决策征求意见制度。党和国家的集中统一，是全国各族人民的根本利益所在。在指导思想和路线方针政策以及重大原则问题上，全党全国必须保持高度一致。全党同志必须自觉坚持个人服从组织、少数服从多数、下级组织服从上级组织、全党服从党的全国代表大会和中央委员会的原则，坚决维护中央权威，保证中央的政令畅通。党的各级组织和全体党员特别是领导干部，都要严格遵守党的纪律，决不允许有令不行、有禁不止、各行其是。

3. Adhere to and improve democratic centralism and enhance the Party's vitality, solidarity and unity. Democratic centralism is a system that integrates centralism on the basis of democracy with democracy under centralized guidance. Inner-Party democracy is the life of the Party and plays an important exemplary and leading role in people's democracy. We should establish and improve an inner-Party democratic system that fully reflects the will of Party members and organizations, starting with the reform of the relevant systems and mechanisms on the basis of guaranteeing the democratic rights of Party members and giving priority to improving the systems of Party conGREsses and of Party committees. The system of Party congresses with regular annual conferences should be tried out in more cities and counties. We should explore ways to give play to the role of delegates when Party congresses are not in session. In accordance with the principle of collective leadership, democratic centralism, individual consultations and decision by meetings, we should improve the rules of procedure and decision-making mechanism within Party committees in order to give fuller play to the role of plenary sessions of Party committees. We need to reform and improve the inner-Party electoral system. We should establish and improve inner-Party information sharing and reporting systems and the system of soliciting opinions concerning major policy decisions. The centralization and unity of the Party and state are where the fundamental interests of the people of all ethnic groups lie. The whole Party and the entire nation must maintain a high degree of unity with regard to the guiding ideology, line, principles and policies and major questions of principle. All Party members must consciously abide by the principle that individual Party members are subordinate to the organization, that the minority is subordinate to the majority, that lower Party organizations are subordinate to the higher ones and that all the constituent organizations and members of the Party are subordinate to its National Congress and Central Committee. They must safeguard the authority of the Central Committee and ensure that its decisions are carried out without fail. Party organizations at all levels and all Party members, leading cadres in particular, must strictly abide by Party discipline. Under no circumstances should they be allowed to go their own ways in disregard of orders and prohibitions.

（四）建设高素质的领导干部队伍，形成朝气蓬勃、奋发有为的领导层。按照革命化、年轻化、知识化、专业化方针，建设一支能够担当重任、经得起风浪考验的高素质的领导干部队伍，特别是培养造就大批善于治党治国治军的优秀领导人才，是党和国家长治久安的根本大计。要认真贯彻领导干部选拔任用条例，注重在改革和建设的实践中考察和识别干部，把那些德才兼备、实绩突出和群众公认的人及时选拔到领导岗位上来。加大培养选拔优秀年轻干部的工作力度，着重帮助他们加强党性修养、理论学习和实践锻炼，全面提高自身素质。进一步做好培养选拔妇女干部、少数民族干部和党外干部的工作。继续做好离退休干部工作。以提高素质、优化结构、改进作风和增强团结为重点，把各级领导班子建设成为坚持贯彻“三个代表”重要思想的坚强领导集体。必须不断培养和造就中国特色社会主义事业的接班人，确保党和人民的事业后继有人。

4. Build a contingent of high-caliber leading cadres and form an energetic and promising leadership. It is a matter of vital importance for maintaining prolonged stability of the Party and state to build a contingent of high-caliber leading cadres capable of assuming heavy responsibilities and withstanding the test of trials and tribulations, and especially to train a large number of outstanding leading cadres for the mission of running the Party, state and army in accordance with the principle of bringing up more revolutionary, younger, better educated and more professionally competent cadres. We should conscientiously implement the regulations on the selection and appointment of leading cadres and make a point of testing and identifying cadres in the practice of reform and development so as to promote to leading positions in good time those who are accredited with ability, integrity and outstanding performance and enjoy popular support. We should make GREater efforts to train and select outstanding young cadres, helping them cultivate their Party spirit, pursue theoretical study and gain practical experience so that they will improve in all respects. We should do a better job of training and selecting women cadres, cadres from among ethnic minorities and non-Party cadres. We should continue to do well the work related to retired cadres. We should turn the leading bodies of the Party at all levels into staunch collectives that firmly implement the important thought of Three Represents mainly by improving their qualities, optimizing their composition, refining their work style and enhancing solidarity. We should train more and more successors to the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics so that the cause of the Party and people will be carried forward.

（五）切实做好基层党建工作，增强党的阶级基础和扩大党的群众基础。党的基层组织是党的全部工作和战斗力的基础，应该成为贯彻“三个代表”重要思想的组织者、推动者和实践者。要坚持围绕中心、服务大局，拓宽领域、强化功能，扩大党的工作的覆盖面，不断提高党的基层组织的凝聚力和战斗力。加强以村党组织为核心的村级组织配套建设，探索让干部经常受教育、使农民长期得实惠的有效途径。搞好国有企业和集体企业必须坚持全心全意依靠工人阶级，企业党组织要积极参与企业重大问题的决策，充分发挥政治核心作用。加强非公有制企业党的建设，企业党组织要贯彻党的方针政策，引导和监督企业遵守国家的法律法规，领导工会和共青团等群众组织，团结凝聚职工群众，维护各方的合法权益，促进企业健康发展。高度重视社区党的建设，以服务群众为重点，构建城市社区党建工作新格局。加大在社会团体和社会中介组织中建立党组织的工作力度。全面做好机关党建工作和学校、科研院所、文化团体等事业单位的党建工作。

5. Build the Party well at the primary level, reinforce its class foundation and expand its mass base. The primary organizations of the Party constitute its foundation for doing all its work and building up its combat effectiveness. They should organize, motivate and practice the implementation of the important thought of Three Represents. We should, by focusing on the central task and serving the overall interests, broaden the fields of our endeavor, intensify our functions and expand the coverage of the Party's work so as to increase the rallying power and combat effectiveness of primary organizations. We should strengthen the building of village-level supporting organizations which rally around village Party organizations, and explore effective ways that will enable cadres to receive education regularly and farmers to get long-term tangible benefits. In order that state-owned and collective enterprises operate well, we must persistently rely on the working class wholeheartedly, and Party organizations in those enterprises should take an active part in the decision-making on major issues and give full play to their role as the political core. We should strengthen Party building in enterprises of the non-public sectors. Party organizations in enterprises must carry out the Party's principles and policies, and provide guidance to and supervise the enterprises in observing the laws and regulations of the state. They should exercise leadership over trade unions, the Communist Youth League and other mass organizations, rally the workers around them, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of all quarters and stimulate the healthy development of the enterprises. We should attach GREat importance to Party building in communities, striving to bring about a new pattern in Party building in urban communities, with the focus on serving the people. We should intensify our efforts to establish Party organizations in mass organizations and intermediaries. We should fully carry out Party building in Party and government organs as well as schools, research institutions, cultural groups and other institutions.

共产党员必须发挥先锋模范作用，牢固树立共产主义远大理想和中国特色社会主义坚定信念，脚踏实地地为实现党在现阶段的基本纲领而奋斗。在全党开展以实践“三个代表”重要思想为主要内容的保持共产党员先进性教育活动。重点做好在工人、农民、知识分子、军人和干部中发展党员的工作，壮大党的队伍最基本的组成部分和骨干力量。注意在生产、工作第一线和高知识群体、青年中发展党员。要把承认党的纲领和章程、自觉为党的路线和纲领而奋斗、经过长期考验、符合党员条件的其他社会阶层的先进分子吸收到党内来，增强党在全社会的影响力和凝聚力。适应新形势，探索党员管理工作的新机制新方法。

Party members must play their vanguard and exemplary role, foster the lofty ideal of communism, fortify their conviction in socialism with Chinese characteristics and work hard to realize the Party's basic program for the current stage. We need to carry out Party-wide education to maintain the proGREssiveness of Party members mainly by putting the important thought of Three Represents into practice. We should recruit Party members mainly from among workers, farmers, intellectuals, servicemen and cadres, thus expanding the basic components and backbone of the Party. We should make a point of recruiting Party members from among those in the forefront of work and production and from among the prominent intellectuals and young people. We should admit into the Party advanced elements of other social strata who accept the Party's program and Constitution, work for the realization of the Party's line and program consciously and meet the qualifications of Party membership following a long period of test, in order to increase the influence and rallying force of the Party in society at large. We must, in light of the new situation, seek new mechanisms and methods for the management of Party membership.

（六）加强和改进党的作风建设，深入开展反腐败斗争。推进党的作风建设，核心是保持党同人民群众的血肉联系。我们党的最大政治优势是密切联系群众，党执政后的最大危险是脱离群众。在任何时候任何情况下，都必须坚持党的群众路线，坚持全心全意为人民服务的宗旨，把实现人民群众的利益作为一切工作的出发点和归宿。要以立党为公、执政为民为根本目的，发扬党的优良传统和作风，按照中央提出的“八个坚持、八个反对”，一靠教育，二靠制度，正确开展批评与自我批评，着力解决党的思想作风、学风、工作作风、领导作风和干部生活作风方面的突出问题，特别是要防止和克服形式主义、官僚主义。认真研究我国社会生活的新变化和群众工作的新特点，把加强和改进群众工作贯彻到党的建设和政权建设的各项工作中去。共产党员首先是各级领导干部，都要努力运用说服教育、示范引导和提供服务等方法，做好新形势下的群众工作，团结和带领群众不断前进。

6. Strengthen and improve the Party's style of work and intensify the struggle against corruption. The key to improving the Party's style of work lies in keeping the flesh-and-blood ties between the Party and the people. The biggest political advantage of our Party lies in its close ties with the masses while the biggest potential danger for it as a ruling party comes from its divorce from them. We must at all times and under all circumstances adhere to the Party's mass line, and to the purpose of serving the people heart and soul and regard the people's interests as the starting point and goal of all our work. We must carry forward the fine tradition and style of our Party, bearing in mind the fundamental principle that the Party is built for the public and that it exercises state power for the people. We must make effective efforts to resolve the outstanding issues in respect of the way of thinking, study and work of our Party, its style of leadership and its cadres' way of life and especially to prevent and overcome formalism and bureaucracy by acting on the principle of the "eight do's" and "eight don'ts" (*Note 2) put forward by the Party Central Committee, by resorting to both educational and institutional means and by correctly conducting criticism and self-criticism. Closely following the new changes in social activities and carefully studying the new features of our mass work, we must strengthen and improve such work throughout the process of building the Party and political power. All Party members, primarily leading cadres at all levels, must do mass work well in light of the new situation and, by persuading, setting examples and providing services, unite and lead the masses in making proGREss.

坚决反对和防止腐败，是全党一项重大的政治任务。不坚决惩治腐败，党同人民群众的血肉联系就会受到严重损害，党的执政地位就有丧失的危险，党就有可能走向自我毁灭。在长期执政的条件下，在对外开放和发展社会主义市场经济的环境中，党必须十分注重防范各种腐朽思想的侵蚀，维护党的队伍的纯洁。各级党委既要充分认识反腐败斗争的紧迫性，又要充分认识其长期性，坚定信心，扎实工作，旗帜鲜明、毫不动摇地把反腐败斗争深入进行下去。进一步抓好领导干部廉洁自律、查处大案要案、纠正部门和行业不正之风的工作。坚持标本兼治、综合治理的方针，逐步加大治本的力度。加强教育，发展民主，健全法制，强化监督，创新体制，把反腐败寓于各项重要政策措施之中，从源头上预防和解决腐败问题。坚持和完善反腐败领导体制和工作机制，认真落实党风廉政建设责任制，形成防止和惩治腐败的合力。领导干部特别是高级干部，必须以身作则，正确行使手中的权力，始终做到清正廉洁，自觉地与各种腐败现象作坚决斗争。对任何腐败分子都必须彻底查处、严惩不贷。

To combat and prevent corruption resolutely is a major political task of the whole Party. If we do not crack down on corruption, the flesh-and-blood ties between the Party and the people will suffer a lot and the Party will be in danger of losing its ruling position, or possibly heading for self-destruction. Against the background of its long-term governance and China's opening up and development of the socialist market economy, the Party must be on full alert against corrosion by all decadent ideas and maintain the purity of its membership. Party committees at all levels must fully recognize the urgency as well as the protracted nature of the fight against corruption. They should enhance confidence, do a solid job, take a clear-cut stand and never waver in carrying on the fight in depth. We should work still harder to make sure that our leading cadres are clean, honest and self-disciplined, and see to it that major corruption cases are investigated and dealt with. Malpractices in departments and trades and services must be corrected. We must adhere to the principle of addressing both symptoms and root causes of corruption and taking comprehensive measures to rectify both while devoting GREater efforts gradually to tackling the latter. We must strengthen education, develop democracy, improve the legal system, tighten supervision, make institutional innovation and incorporate counter-corruption in all our major policy measures so as to prevent and tackle corruption at its source. We must uphold and improve the leadership system and working mechanism against corruption and earnestly implement the responsibility system for improving the Party's work style and building clean government, in a concerted effort to prevent and punish corruption. Leading cadres, particularly senior ones, should play an exemplary role in exercising the power in their hands correctly. They must always be honest and upright and take the initiative to crack down on all forms of corruption. All corruptionists must be thoroughly investigated and punished without leniency.

全党同志始终保持共产党人的蓬勃朝气、昂扬锐气和浩然正气，永远同人民群众心连心，我们党的执政基础就坚如磐石。

So long as all Party comrades always maintain the vigor and vitality, dashing spirit and integrity as Communists and have the people at heart, the foundation of our Party's governance will remain rock solid.

同志们！全面建设小康社会，开创中国特色社会主义事业新局面，就是要在中国共产党的坚强领导下，发展社会主义市场经济、社会主义民主政治和社会主义先进文化，不断促进社会主义物质文明、政治文明和精神文明的协调发展，推进中华民族的伟大复兴。

Comrades,
To build a well-off society in an all-round way and create a new situation in building socialism with Chinese characteristics, it is essential, under the firm leadership of the CPC, to develop a socialist market economy, socialist democracy and an advanced socialist culture, keep the coordinated development of the socialist material, political and spiritual civilizations, and bring about the GREat rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

中国共产党深深扎根于中华民族之中。党从成立那一天起，就是中国工人阶级的先锋队，同时是中国人民和中华民族的先锋队，肩负着实现中华民族伟大复兴的庄严使命。在新民主主义革命时期，我们党团结和带领全国各族人民完成民族独立和人民解放的历史任务，为实现中华民族伟大复兴创造了前提。新中国成立后，我们党创造性地完成由新民主主义到社会主义的过渡，实现中国历史上最伟大最深刻的社会变革，开始了在社会主义道路上实现中华民族伟大复兴的历史征程。十一届三中全会以来，我们党找到建设中国特色社会主义的正确道路，赋予民族复兴新的强大生机。中华民族的伟大复兴展现出灿烂的前景。

The CPC is deeply rooted in the Chinese nation. Since the very day of its founding, it has been the vanguard of the Chinese working class and also of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, shouldering the grand mission of realizing the GREat rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. During the new-democratic revolution, our Party united and led the Chinese people of all ethnic groups in fulfilling the historic task of winning national independence and people's liberation, thus laying the groundwork for our great national rejuvenation. After the founding of New China, our Party creatively completed the transition from New Democracy to socialism, the greatest and most profound social transformation ever in China's history, and embarked on a socialist road and the historical journey to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Since the Third Plenary Session of its Eleventh Central Committee, our Party has found the correct road to socialism with Chinese characteristics, injecting new and greater vitality into our drive for national rejuvenation. Splendid prospects present themselves before the great cause of rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.　

全面建设小康社会，加快推进社会主义现代化，使社会主义中国发展和富强起来，为人类进步事业作出更大贡献，这是我们党必须勇敢担负起来的历史任务。完成这个任务，必须紧紧依靠全党和全国各族人民的团结。团结就是力量，团结就是胜利。我们党和我国人民经历了艰难曲折，积累了丰富经验，愈益成熟起来。面对很不安宁的世界，面对艰巨繁重的任务，全党同志一定要增强忧患意识，居安思危，清醒地看到日趋激烈的国际竞争带来的严峻挑战，清醒地看到前进道路上的困难和风险，倍加顾全大局，倍加珍视团结，倍加维护稳定。

To build a well-off society in an all-round way, step up the socialist modernization drive and make socialist China a stronger and more prosperous country, thus contributing still more to the cause of human proGREss - this is a historical mission our Party must take on with courage. The fulfillment of this mission inevitably depends on the solidarity of the Party and that of the Chinese people of all ethnic groups. Solidarity means strength; solidarity means victory. After going through all the hardships and setbacks, our Party and people have gained rich experience and become increasingly mature. In the face of a world that is far from being tranquil and the formidable tasks before us, all Party members must be mindful of the potential danger and stay prepared against adversities in times of peace. We must be keenly aware of the rigorous challenges brought about by the ever-sharpening international competition as well as risks and difficulties that may arise on our road ahead. We must bear in mind the overall interests of our Party all the more deeply, cherish the solidarity all the more dearly and safeguard stability all the more firmly.

全党同志和全国各族人民，紧密团结在党中央周围，万众一心，奋发图强，把中国特色社会主义事业不断推向前进，共同创造我们的幸福生活和美好未来！

All Party comrades and the people of all ethnic groups of the country, let us rally closely around the Party Central Committee and work with one heart and one mind in a joint and unyielding effort to advance the cause of building socialism with Chinese characteristics and create a happier life and a better future for us all!
