    Jiang elaborated in the works on modernization of the army, military policies at new times, military reform with Chinese characteristics, and national strategy.

    The selected works also expound the principle of "one country, two systems", the affairs about Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and China's foreign affair policies.

    The editing committee said the selected works show Jiang's great talent and bold vision, as well as his outstanding political leadership.

    The publish of the works will inspire the CPC members and all Chinese people to closely unite around the CPC Central Committee with Hu Jintao as the General Secretary, said an editor.

    People's Daily is to publish an editorial on Thursday, hailing that the publishing of the Selected Works of Jiang Zemin is very important to CPC and the political affairs of the state.

    The whole comrades of the Party and all Chinese people of different ethnic groups are "warmly expecting the publishing of the Selected Works of Jiang Zemin," says the Party's mouthpiece.

    The editorial terms the book as a new valuable treasure for the treasure house of Marxist Theory, which will serve as a powerful ideological weapon for deepening the study of the important thought of the Three Represents and opening up a new situation of socialism with China's own characteristics, as well as a great spiritual power for the Chinese people who are advancing over the road to building an overall well-off society.

    The Three Represents is one of the guiding theories for the Party together with Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, and Deng Xiaoping Theory, according to the People's Daily editorial. Enditem
