Scientific approach to build well-off society

Editor's note: Party General Secretary Hu Jintao addressed the opening session of a workshop for officials at the ministerial and provincial level on July 23. The following is a People's Daily commentary on the speech:

Party leader Hu Jintao's address at the opening session of a ministerial workshop on July 23 was a political declaration for China to adhere to socialism with Chinese characteristics, and provides the guidelines for it to get adapted to the requirement of the times and the wishes of the people.

It is an important political task for the 82 million Communist Party of China members to carefully read and understand the spirit of Hu's remarks with a high degree of political consciousness and sense of responsibility to unite thoughts with actions.
