BEIJING, March 6 - Li Changchun, a top Communist Party of China (CPC)
official, highlighted Sunday the vital role of culture in the course of
building a "harmonious society", the latest initiative of the Chinese
leadership to balance the country's economic growth and social
development.
"Building a harmonious socialist society is a major task put forth by our
Party in making the Chinese society more affluent andushering in new

Li, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC
Central Committee, the Party's nine-member top decision-making body,
while joining in a panel discussion of lawmakers from south China's
Guangdong Province Sunday morning.
The lawmakers, or deputies to the National People's Congress (NPC), are
here for the annual full session of the top legislature.
During the discussion, Li echoed the lawmakers' view that the Government
Work Report, which Premier Wen Jiabao delivered at the opening of the NPC
session Saturday, was a "good report" underlining the building of a
harmonious society.
"In the building of a harmonious socialist society, the development of an
advanced socialist culture is of much importanceas it can provide a
strong ideological guarantee, as well as powerful spiritual support, for
our efforts," said Li, who is in charge of the Party's cultural and
ideological work.
It is essential to go on upholding the guiding status of Marxism in the
ideological field, spare no effort to carry forward China's great
national spirit, especially patriotism, and actively promote the
socialist ethics, added Li.
Li, the former provincial Party chief of Guangdong, also urged the
booming southern coastal province to take the lead and play an exemplary
role in building a harmonious society.
