The leading officials of the Communist Party of China and all
Party members should play an exemplary role in abiding by the
Constitution and laws, said Premier Wen Jiabao at a press
conference Sunday.
In response to a question by a German journalist about the
amended Constitution, Wen said the Constitution and laws will not
be changed according to changes of state leaders or changes in the
leaders' attention.
He stressed two principles that the Party leads the people in
making the Constitution and laws, and leading Party officials and
all Party members should play an exemplary role in implementing the
Constitution and laws.
The amendment to the Constitution is of great significance for
China's development, he said, adding that it had just passed at the
national legislature's annual session with an overwhelming support,
which is a reflection of the will of the entire people.
He highlighted the incorporation into the Constitution the
important thought of "Three Respects" together with
Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping theory as
the guiding ideology for the Party and the nation, saying that it
has profound and far-reaching significance.?
