-- The 3rd plenary session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China established again the ideological, political and organizational lines of Marxism, symbolizing the great wakening of the Chinese Communists.

-- We calmly dealt with a series of international emergencies which concerned our country's sovereignty and security, overcoming political and economic difficulties as well as natural risks.

-- This particular moment is inspiring our deep memory of Comrade Mao Zedong, Comrade Deng Xiaoping and the rest of the older generation of revolutionists.

-- Without democracy, neither socialism nor socialist modernization could be realized.

-- We need to learn all creams of political civilization of the human society, but will never copy the mode of the Western political institutions.

-- We have to wisely handle the case of participating in the economic globalization while keeping independence, comprehensively arrange both domestic and international tasks, and make contributions to the lofty cause of peace and development in the world.

-- China has no chance to develop itself without the world while the world needs China to go ahead with development.
