BEIJING, Nov. 8 (Xinhua) -- Hu Jintao said on Thursday that China must unswervingly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics in order to complete the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects, accelerate socialist modernization, and achieve the great renewal of the Chinese nation.
Delivering a keynote report to the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Hu said this is a definite conclusion drawn from China's eventful modern history and a promising future of the Chinese nation.
"The issue of what path we take is of vital importance for the survival of the Party, the future of China, the destiny of the Chinese nation, and the wellbeing of the people," he said.
He said over the past 90-plus years, relying firmly on the people and adapting the basic tenets of Marxism to China's conditions and the underlying trend of the times, the CPC has pursued its own course independently.
The CPC has, enduring untold hardships and sufferings and paying various costs, achieved great success in revolution, development and reform, and created and developed socialism with Chinese characteristics, thus fundamentally changing the future and destiny of the Chinese people and nation, Hu said.
Hu underlined endeavors by the past three generations of central collective leadership led by Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin, respectively, and highlighted the development path China has experienced under the three generations of leadership and the formation of the theories of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
He also highlighted how the CPC Central Committee upheld and developed socialism with Chinese characteristics from a new historical starting point in the new century.
