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.







　　To combat and prevent corruptionresolutely 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, tightensupervision, make institutional innovation and

incorporate counter-corruption in all our major policy measures so as to prevent

and tacklecorruption at its source. We must uphold and improve the leadership

system and working mechanism against corruption and earnestlyimplement 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.







　　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.







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.







　　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" title="a.历史(上)的">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.







　　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" title="a.历史(上)的">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 increasinglymature. 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 safeguardstability all the more firmly.







　　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!
