On political structure reform
-- We must continue to make both active and prudent efforts to carry out the reform of the political structure, and make people's democracy more extensive, fuller in scope and sounder in practice.
-- We should place high importance on systemic building, give full play to the strength of the socialist political system and draw on the political achievements of other societies. However, we will never copy a Western political system.
胡锦涛同志在十八大报告中讲到政治体制改革时指出
--必须继续积极稳妥推进政治体制改革，发展更加广泛、更加充分、更加健全的人民民主。
--要把制度建设摆在突出位置，充分发挥我国社会主义政治制度优越性，积极借鉴人类政治文明有益成果，绝不照搬西方政治制度模式。
