BEIJING, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Wen
Jiabao has called for unswerving emancipation of the mind to boost socialism
with Chinese characteristics at the ongoing 17th National Congress of the
Communist Party of China (CPC).
Attending discussions of the Sichuan delegation to
the congress on Monday and Tuesday, Wen said practice is the sole criterion when
seeking what is truth.
To emancipate the mind, Wen said, the Party must
actively explore and innovate in the practice and theoretical development of
building socialism, and boldly learn from all intellectual achievements made by
the human society.
What is socialism and how to build socialism are two
major questions the Party faces in the emancipation of the mind, Wen said.
He called on sustained efforts to push forward
economic and political restructuring, saying only if the country genuinely,
constantly and fully reforms and opens itself to the outside world would China
have a bright future.
The most important work for implementing the
scientific outlook on development and building the harmonious society is to put
people first, develop democracy, improve legal system and coordinate the
relations between urban and rural areas, between different regions and between
economic growth and social development, Wen said.
It has never been an easy job to build a moderately
prosperous society in a country with a population of more than 1.3 billion, and
bettering socialism is a cause costing generations of efforts, he said.
