党的十七大第一次将“尊重党员的主体地位”写进党代会报告,意义深远而重大。党员是党的肌体细胞和党的行为主体,是党的事业和建设的主体。党员主体地位的实现程度是衡量党内民主发展程度的重要标尺。 For the first time, the 17th CPC National Congress has “profoundly respected the principal status of party members” in the report of the party congress, which is far-reaching and significant. Party members are the main body of the party’s body cells and the Party’s conduct, and are the mainstay of the Party’s cause and construction. The realization of the status of the mainstay of the party members is an important measure of the degree of democracy in the party.
