党的十六大报告提出,要“加强党的执政能力建设,提高领导水平和执政水平”。这一观点深化了对共产党执政规律的认识,赋予了执政党建设新的内涵,是马克思主义建党学说的新发展、新成果、新贡献,为加强新世纪新阶段党的建设指明了方向。党的执政能力,就是以执政党为主体的能力。 The report of the 16th CPC National Congress put forward the proposal of “strengthening the building of the party’s ability to govern and raising the level of leadership and governance.” This view deepens the understanding of the law governing the communist party and gives the ruling party new connotation of construction. It is a new development, new achievement and new contribution of the party building theory of the Marxism and points out the direction for strengthening party building in the new phase of the new century. The ruling ability of the party is the ability of the ruling party as the main body.
