江泽民在十六大报告的第三部分提出了全面建设小康的奋斗目标。报告指出,经过全党和全国各族人民的共同努力,我们胜利实现了现代化建设“三步走”战略的第一步、第二步目标,人民生活总体达到小康水平。但是,现在达到的小康还是低水平的、不全面的、发展很不平衡的小康,人民日益增长的物质文化需要同落后的社会生产之间的矛盾仍然是我国社会的主要矛盾。对此,提出我们要在本世纪头20年,集中力量,全面建设惠及十几亿人口的更高水平的小康社会,使经济更加发展、民主更加健全、科教更加进步、文化更加繁荣、社会更加和谐、人民生活更加殷实。这是实现现代化建设第三步战略目标必经的 In the third part of the report of the 16th CPC National Congress, Jiang Zemin put forward the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way. The report pointed out: With the concerted efforts of the entire party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country, we have successfully achieved the first and second goals of the “three-step” strategy of modernization, and our people’s overall life has reached a well-to-do level. However, the well-to-do society we now achieve is still a low-level, incomplete and unbalanced well-to-do society. The contradiction between the growing material and cultural needs of the people and the backward social production remains the major contradiction in our society. In this connection, we propose that in the first two decades of this century, we should concentrate on and build a well-to-do society at a higher level that will benefit billions of people. We will make our economy more developed, democratize more, science and education will be more progressive, our culture will be more prosperous, and our society will be more prosperous Harmony, people’s lives more solid. This is a must for achieving the third-step strategic goal of modernization
