江泽民同志在党的十六大报告中指出,“三个代表”的重要思想是对马克思主义、毛泽东思想和邓小平理论的继承和发展,是我们党必须长期坚持的指导思想。深刻理解、深入贯彻这一指导思想,对于加快改革设展,不断开创建设有中国特色社会主义新局面具有重要的意义。 Comrade Jiang Zemin pointed out in the report to the 16th National Congress of the CPC that the important thinking of the ’Three Represents’ is the succession and development of Marxism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory and is the guiding principle our party must last long. A profound understanding and thorough implementation of this guiding principle are of great significance to accelerating the reform and setting up a new scene and constantly creating a new situation in building socialism with Chinese characteristics.
