我们的改革是全面的改革，包括经济体制改革、政治体制改革以及其他各领域的改革。没有政治体制改革，经济体制改革和现代化建设就不可能成功。要发展社会主义民主，切实保障人民当家作主的民主权利，特别是选举权、知情权、参与权、表达权和监督权。进一步扩大基层民主，健全基层自治组织和民主管理制度，让广大群众更好地参与管理基层公共事务。要坚持依法治国、依法行政。进一步健全法制，特别要重视那些规范和监督权力运行的法律制度建设。创新政府立法工作的方法和机制，扩大立法工作的公众参与。

The reforms we are undertaking, including economic and political restructuring and reforms in other areas, are comprehensive. Without political restructuring, it would not be possible for economic restructuring and the modernization drive to succeed. We will develop socialist democracy, and effectively safeguard the democratic rights of the people as masters of the country, particularly their rights to vote and to stay informed about, participate and in, express views on, and oversee government affairs. We will further expand primary-level democracy, strengthen primary-level self-governing bodies, and improve the system of democratic administration at the primary level so that the people can better participate in the management of local public affairs. We will uphold the rule of law and continue to run the government in accordance with the law. We will further improve the legal system, particularly laws concerning the standardization and oversight of the exercise of power. We will innovatively revise the methods and mechanisms of the government's legislative Work and expand public participation in it.
