1. The Constitution appropriately and accurately summarizes both positive and negative experiences: the experience of the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal revolution; the experience of construction in all fields since the founding of the People’s Republic; as well as various historical constitutions serving as cautionary examples. It also draws on foreign experiences, while placing primary emphasis on the Chinese nation’s own experience. Although the bourgeoisie did contribute certain revolutionary elements, these should not be entirely dismissed.

2. The Constitution appropriately and skillfully combines principled standpoints with flexibility. Democratic and socialist principles are consistently upheld across all areas. At the same time, it adopts a flexible approach—such as the united front—and advocates for gradual implementation. To proceed without gradualism would be “left” deviation; to fail to implement at all would be “right” deviation. Thus, the socialist principle of firmness is harmoniously combined with the flexibility of a step-by-step process. Ethnic minorities possess both commonalities and specific characteristics, and separate regulations may be formulated for them based on their particular circumstances.

The Constitution can and must be enforced, especially by state functionaries. Failure to do so shall be subject to impeachment (Communist Party members who commit crimes shall be expelled from the Party). With this Constitution, the entire nation has been provided with a clear and correct path forward; it serves as the general charter for all the people. This document has also exerted a significant influence internationally, embodying both national identity and international relevance.

As for how many years it will take to fully enter socialism, we should avoid rigidly setting a fixed timetable. Fifteen years can only lay the necessary foundation. What is crucial is to unite the entire nation and rally all forces that can be united.

The powers vested in the President of the State appear somewhat limited. Certain provisions were deliberately omitted—not out of modesty, but because such an approach would be unscientific. In matters of governance, neither excessive nor insufficient authority is desirable; the appropriate balance must be struck. We should neither blindly revere historical figures nor contemporary ones. We follow what is correct and reject what is incorrect. We do not advocate idol worship.
