Features: The remarkable 16th Central Committee Plenary Session of the Party opened in Beijing in early autumn. The Party Central Committee has publicly announced that this session will make a special resolution on several issues related to building a socialist harmonious society. It can be said that this is a major event in the political life of our Party and country. Setting aside other aspects, just the theme of this central committee session for research and discussion is unique in significance. The documents reviewed and adopted by this session are a milestone in the history of the Communist Party of China in strengthening the construction of a socialist society. Emphasis on social construction reflects the deepening understanding of the development laws of socialism with Chinese characteristics by our Party. The major strategic task of building a socialist harmonious society proposed by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Hu Jintao at its core has always been an extremely important component. Emphasis on social construction also reflects that the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new stage of development. The deepening of understanding is not a purely subjective process, but rather because objective practice has raised this issue, and it has now reached a stage where it is both important and urgent to resolve it.
