The Three Represents

The Three Represents is a guiding theory introduced by former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin, emphasizing that the Communist Party should serve three key groups: the majority people, advanced productive forces (like skilled workers and entrepreneurs), and advanced culture. Essentially, it stresses that the Party must represent the interests of the broader population, support economic development by including innovative and productive elements, and promote cultural progress. This approach aims to modernize the Party’s role, ensuring it remains relevant by aligning with economic growth, social needs, and cultural advancements in China’s evolving society.
