China to put "Three Represents" into Constitution
( 2003-12-22 16:48) (Xinhua)
The important theory of "Three Represents" is proposed to be written into
China's Constitution, along with the provision that "private property obtained
legally shall not be violated."
The proposal on amending the country's 1982 Constitution made by the Central
Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was tabled with the Standing
Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), China's top legislature, in
Beijing Monday.
The "Three Represents" theory shall be one of the guiding principles of the
nation as heritage and further development of Marxism, Leninism, Mao Zedong
Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory, according to the proposed amendments.
The proposed revision on private property protection puts private assets of
Chinese citizens on an equal footing with public property, which are "not to be
violated" in the existing Constitution.
Wang Zhaoguo, vice chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, explained the CPC
proposal to lawmakers Monday in his capacity of a member of the Political Bureau
of the CPC Central Committee.
