The national congress Wednesday passed the Party Constitution amendment which has incorporated the Scientific Outlook on Development into the CPC guiding ideology, along with Marxism-Leninism, the Mao Zedong Thought, the Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important though of Three Represents.

The Scientific Outlook on Development was created by integrating Marxism with realities of modern China and with underlying features of the times, the spokesman said.
