1. 为此，我们必须全面地、辩证地、历史地看待改革开放与改革开放进程中出现的问题，认清改革开放中出现的一些问题并不是改革开放本身的问题，而解决这些问题则必须要深化改革开放，绝不能走回头路。

   For this reason we must comprehensively, investigatively, and with a view to history look at and deal with reform and opening and the problems caused by reform and opening. We should clearly recognize, however, that the problems arising from reform and opening are not inherent but that solving these problems will require intensifying of reform and opening and, absolutely not, by undoing the what has been done.
