　　中国共产党第十八次全国代表大会，是在我国进入全面建成小康社会决定性阶段召开的一次十分重要的大会。大会的主题是：高举中国特色社会主义伟大旗帜，以邓小平理论、“三个代表”重要思想、科学发展观为指导，解放思想，改革开放，凝聚力量，攻坚克难，坚定不移沿着中国特色社会主义道路前进，为全面建成小康社会而奋斗。

　　十七大以来的五年，是我们在中国特色社会主义道路上奋勇前进的五年，是我们经受住各种困难和风险考验、夺取全面建设小康社会新胜利的五年。

　　五年来，各方面工作都取得新的重大成就，经济平稳较快发展，改革开放取得重大进展，人民生活水平显著提高，民主法制建设迈出新步伐，文化建设迈上新台阶，社会建设取得新进步，国防和军队建设开创新局面，港澳台工作进一步加强，外交工作取得新成就，党的建设全面加强。

　　科学发展观是党必须长期坚持的指导思想，必须把科学发展观贯彻到我国现代化建设全过程、体现到党的建设各方面。

　　科学发展观是马克思主义同当代中国实际和时代特征相结合的产物，是马克思主义关于发展的世界观和方法论的集中体现，对新形势下实现什么样的发展、怎样发展等重大问题作出了新的科学回答，把我们对中国特色社会主义规律的认识提高到新的水平，开辟了当代中国马克思主义发展新境界。

　　科学发展观是中国特色社会主义理论体系最新成果，是中国共产党集体智慧的结晶，是指导党和国家全部工作的强大思想武器。科学发展观同马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想、邓小平理论、“三个代表”重要思想一道，是党必须长期坚持的指导思想。

　　在改革开放三十多年一以贯之的接力探索中，我们坚定不移高举中国特色社会主义伟大旗帜，既不走封闭僵化的老路、也不走改旗易帜的邪路。中国特色社会主义道路，中国特色社会主义理论体系，中国特色社会主义制度，是党和人民九十多年奋斗、创造、积累的根本成就，必须倍加珍惜、始终坚持、不断发展。

　　建设中国特色社会主义，总依据是社会主义初级阶段，总布局是五位一体，总任务是实现社会主义现代化和中华民族伟大复兴。发展中国特色社会主义是一项长期的艰巨的历史任务，必须准备进行具有许多新的历史特点的伟大斗争。我们一定要毫不动摇坚持、与时俱进发展中国特色社会主义，不断丰富中国特色社会主义的实践特色、理论特色、民族特色、时代特色。

　　根据我国经济社会发展实际，要在十六大、十七大确立的全面建设小康社会目标的基础上努力实现新的要求：经济持续健康发展，转变经济发展方式取得重大进展，在发展平衡性、协调性、可持续性明显增强的基础上，实现国内生产总值和城乡居民人均收入比二０一０年翻一番；人民民主不断扩大；文化软实力显著增强；人民生活水平全面提高；资源节约型、环境友好型社会建设取得重大进展。全面建成小康社会，必须以更大的政治勇气和智慧，不失时机深化重要领域改革，坚决破除一切妨碍科学发展的思想观念和体制机制弊端，构建系统完备、科学规范、运行有效的制度体系，使各方面制度更加成熟更加定型。

　　要加快完善社会主义市场经济体制和加快转变经济发展方式。第一，全面深化经济体制改革。第二，实施创新驱动发展战略。第三，推进经济结构战略性调整。第四，推动城乡发展一体化。第五，全面提高开放型经济水平。

　　Chinese leader Hu Jintao delivered a report on Thursday at the opening of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC). The following are key quotes from his report：

　　On Scientific Outlook on Development

　　-- The most important achievement in our endeavors in the past ten years is that we have formed the Scientific Outlook on Development and put it into practice.

　　-- This theory provides new scientific answers to the major questions of what kind of development China should achieve in a new environment and how the country should achieve it.

　　-- Together with Marxism-Leninism， Mao Zedong Thought， Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of Three Represents， the Scientific Outlook on Development is the theoretical guidance the Party must adhere to for a long time.

　　On socialism with Chinese characteristics

　　-- We must unswervingly follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

　　-- Our overall approach is to promote economic， political， cultural， social， and ecological progress， and our general task is to achieve socialist modernization and the great renewal of the Chinese nation.

　　On building moderately prosperous society

　　-- We need to have a correct understanding of the changing nature and conditions of this period， seize all opportunities， respond with cool-headedness to challenges， and gain initiative and advantages to win the future and attain the goal of completing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects by 2020.

　　-- An examination of both the current international and domestic environments shows that China remains in an important period of strategic opportunities for its development， a period in which much can be achieved.

　　-- On the basis of making China's development much more balanced， coordinated and sustainable， we should double its 2010 GDP and per capita income for both urban and rural residents.

　　-- To complete the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects， we must， with greater political courage and vision， lose no time in deepening reform in key sectors and resolutely discard all notions and systems that hinder efforts to pursue development in a scientific way.

　　On economy

　　-- Taking economic development as the central task is vital to national renewal， and development still holds the key to addressing all the problems we have in China.

　　-- The underlying issue we face in economic structural reform is how to strike a balance between the role of the government and that of the market， and we should follow more closely the rules of the market and better play the role of the government.

　　-- We should firmly maintain the strategic focus of boosting domestic demand， speed up the establishment of a long-term mechanism for increasing consumer demand， unleash the potential of individual consumption， increase investment at a proper pace， and expand the domestic market.

　　-- We should give high priority to rural areas in developing infrastructure and social programs in the country.

　　On political structure reform

　　-- 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.

　　-- We 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. However， we will never copy a Western political system.

　　On improving people's wellbeing

　　-- We should keep making progress in ensuring that all the people enjoy their rights to education， employment， medical and old-age care， and housing so that they will lead a better life.

　　On ecological progress

　　-- We must give high priority to making ecological progress and incorporate it into all aspects and the whole process of advancing economic， political， cultural， and social progress， work hard to build a beautiful country， and achieve lasting and sustainable development of the Chinese nation.

　　On military modernization

　　-- Building strong national defense and powerful armed forces that are commensurate with China's international standing and meet the needs of its security and development interests is a strategic task of China's modernization drive.

　　-- We should attach great importance to maritime， space and cyberspace security. We should make active planning for the use of military forces in peacetime， expand and intensify military preparedness， and enhance the capability to accomplish a wide range of military tasks， the most important of which is to win local war in an information age.

　　On Taiwan

　　-- We are ready to conduct exchanges， dialogue and cooperation with any political party in Taiwan as long as it does not seek Taiwan independence and recognizes the one-China principle.

　　-- We hope that the two sides will jointly explore cross-Straits political relations and make reasonable arrangements for them under the special condition that the country is yet to be reunified.

　　-- We hope the two sides will discuss the establishment of a cross-Straits military security confidence-building mechanism to maintain stability in their relations and reach a peace agreement through consultation so as to open a new horizon in advancing the peaceful growth of these relations.

　　On foreign affairs

　　-- China will unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development and firmly pursue an independent foreign policy of peace.

　　-- We are firm in our resolve to uphold China's sovereignty， security and development interests and will never yield to any outside pressure.

　　-- We will decide our position and policy on an issue on its own merits and work to uphold fairness and justice.

　　-- China is committed to peaceful settlement of international disputes and hotspot issues， opposes the wanton use of force or threat to use it， opposes any foreign attempt to subvert the legitimate government of any other countries， and opposes terrorism in all its manifestations.

　　-- China opposes hegemonism and power politics in all their forms and will never seek hegemony or engage in expansion.

　　On Party building

　　-- Combating corruption and promoting political integrity， which is a major political issue of great concern to the people， is a clear-cut and long-term political commitment of the Party. If we fail to handle this issue well， it could prove fatal to the Party， and even cause the collapse of the Party and the fall of the state.

　　-- Leading officials at all levels， especially high-ranking officials， must readily observe the code of conduct on clean governance and report all important matters. They should both exercise strict self-discipline and strengthen education and supervision over their families and their staff； and they should never seek any privilege.
