On political structure reform

 

-- We must continue to make both active and prudent¹ 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 socialist² political system and draw on the political achievements of other societies. However, we will never copy a Western political system.

--要把制度建设摆在突出位置，充分发挥我国社会主义政治制度优越性，积极借鉴人类政治文明有益成果，绝不照搬西方政治制度模式。
