SCIENTIFIC DEVELOPMENT
Reviewing China's development over the past ten years, Hu said the theory of Scientific Outlook on Development is one of the most important achievements of the CPC during the period and it has become a theoretical guidance for the Party.
"Together with Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of Three Represents, the Scientific Outlook on Development is the theoretical guidance the Party must adhere to for a long time," Hu said.
The Scientific Outlook on Development was proposed by the 16th CPC Central Committee in 2003. The concept has championed people's interests and advocated comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development. At the Party's 17th National Congress, the concept was written into the CPC Constitution.
The theory was formed by following the guidance of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of Three Represents and by making courageous theoretical innovations on the basis of practices and developing closely interconnected new ideas and viewpoints on upholding and building socialism with Chinese characteristics, he said.
"This theory provides new scientific answers to the major questions of what kind of development China should achieve in a new environment and how the country should achieve it," Hu said.
As China advances toward the future, thoroughly applying the Scientific Outlook on Development is of major immediate significance and far-reaching historical significance for upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics, Hu said.
"We must apply it throughout the course of modernization and to every aspect of Party building," he said.
