Young cadres important for CPC's cause
It is particularly important for the CPC to facilitate the training of talented young people, as talent is the most important resource and a strategic resource for a country's development, President Hu stressed at the rally.
According to Hu, it is essential to ensure that talented people emerge in great numbers, their talents be best used, and that everyone can bring out their best.
"The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation depends on our success in fostering a large number of outstanding personnel, and particularly, in bringing competent people in all fields to the fore while bringing out the best," Hu noted.
"To continuously train a large number of outstanding young cadres is of fundamental importance for carrying on the cause of the Party and the people from generation to generation," Hu pointed out.
Intensify efforts to combat corruption
The Party will intensify its efforts to combat corruption, which is crucial in gaining popular support for the Party and ensuring its very survival, Hu said.
The Party is soberly aware of the gravity and danger of corruption, Hu added.
Reform continues
China has developed rapidly in the past 30 plus years thanks to the reform and opening up, and the country must promote its future development by continuing to carry out reform and opening up, Hu said.
"They are what we must pursue in upholding and building socialism with Chinese characteristics and achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation," Hu said.
Noticing that China suffers from a serious lack of balance, coordination, and sustainability in its development, and that there are institutional obstacles to scientific development, Hu said these challenges must be resolved in the course of deepening reform.
"We should identify areas where breakthroughs can be made, set priorities in deepening the reform and opening up, advance reform in important areas and key links when opportunities are ripe, and continue to reform the economic, political, cultural, and social systems in an innovative way," he said.
Hu also stressed that reform should be steady and that upholding stability is critically important.
"To strike a balance among reform, development, and stability and achieve unity of the three is an important guideline for achieving overall success in China's socialist modernization," Hu said.
To cope with the problems, the President pointed out that the Party should face problems squarely, reduce and defuse these conflicts by building the material base, enhance moral strength, improve policies and measures, and provide a stronger institutional guarantee.
He said that the Party should also strengthen social administration in an innovative way.
"We should build a socialist social administration system with Chinese characteristics under the leadership of the Party, with responsibility assigned to the government, with the assistance of society, and with the participation of the general public," he said.
