Amending CPC Constitution significant to Party unity: spokesman (2)

Amending the Party Constitution is good for implementing the Constitution and the Party's policies and plans, carrying out the Party and State work, and making Party building more scientific in all respects, the spokesman said.

The amendment features full play of intra-Party democracy and embodies the CPC's collective wisdom, the spokesman said.

Since 1982, the CPC Constitution has been amended for six times to meet the changing situation and reflect the CPC's achievements in adapting Marxism to China's realities.

In 1997, the Deng Xiaoping Theory was written into the Constitution as a manifestation of the Party's judgment that China would remain in the primary stage of socialism for a long period of time, and would make economic development as one core task.

Five years later, the important thought of Three Represents was incorporated into the Constitution to clarify what socialism is and how China should build socialism.
