年初，江泽民同志在全国宣传部长会议上的讲话中向全党，特别是宣传思想战线的同志提出了要“以德治国”的任务。他精辟地分析了德治与法治的辩证关系，指出它们二者“从来都是相辅相成，相互促进的”，因此，必须“把依法治国和以德治国紧密结合起来”。 　　江泽民同志的讲话 Earlier this year, Comrade Jiang Zemin put forward the task of “governing the country with virtue” in his speech to the national propaganda ministerial meeting to all the party members, especially those who propagandize the ideological front. He analyzed the dialectical relationship between the rule of virtue and the rule of law with fantastic insight. He pointed out that both of them are “mutually reinforcing and mutually reinforcing” and must therefore “combine the rule of law with the rule of virtue.” Speech by Comrade Jiang Zemin
