Beijing: China will continue to carry out reform of
the political structure, but the country will never copy a Western
political system, President Hu Jintao said here Thursday at the
opening of the Communist Party of China's 18th National Congress.
"We must continue to make both active and prudent efforts to carry
out the reform of the political structure, and make people's
democracy more extensive, fuller in scope and sounder in
practice," Hu said in a keynote address.
Hu said the CPC should place high importance on systemic building,
give full play to the strength of the socialist political system
and draw on the political achievements of other societies,
reported Xinhua.
"However, we will never copy a Western political system," he said.
Stressing the unity of the leadership of the Party, the position
of the people as masters of the country and law-based governance,
Hu said the CPC should place greater emphasis on improving the way
the party exercises leadership and governance to ensure that it
leads the people in effectively governing the country.
"We should attach greater importance to improving the system of
democracy and diversifying the forms of democracy to ensure that
the people conduct democratic elections, decision-making,
administration and oversight in accordance with the law," he said.
The CPC should give greater scope to the important role the rule
of law plays in the country's governance and in social management,
uphold the unity, sanctity and authority of the country's legal
system and ensure that the people enjoy extensive rights and
freedoms as prescribed by law.
