“提高构建社会主义和谐社会的能力”是对中国共产党执政能力的一个重要考验,是新时代人们对执政党的必然要求。民主法治、公平正义、诚信友爱、充满活力、安定有序、人与自然和谐相处,这是面对蓬勃向上的经济发展和相对滞后的社会变革,人民表达的良好愿景。和谐社会的丰富内涵与“三个代表”重要思想相一致,都是对马克思主义理论的丰富和发展,也是全体中国人民根本利益的具体体现。 “Improving the Ability to Construct a Harmonious Socialist Society” is an important test of the ruling ability of the Communist Party of China and an inevitable requirement of the ruling party in the new era. Democracy and the rule of law, fairness and justice, honesty and fraternity, vitality, stability and order, harmonious coexistence between man and nature are the good wishes expressed by the people in the face of vigorous economic development and relatively backward social changes. The rich connotation of a harmonious society is in keeping with the important thinking of the ’Three Represents.’ It is all about enriching and developing Marxist theory and a concrete manifestation of the fundamental interests of the entire Chinese people.
