Li Peng delivered a report strongly criticizing Zhao Ziyang for his attitude during the "anti-party, anti-socialist turmoil": he was accused of "passive attitude toward the Four Cardinal Principles" and the "oppose bourgeois liberalization policy", and neglecting "party building, the spiritual civilization construction and ideological and political work". He was thus removed from his capacities of General Secretary, Politburo Standing Committee member, Politburo member and Central Military Commission first vice-chairman, with Jiang Zemin filling his posts as General Secretary and Politburo Standing Committee member. Building on Deng's view that "development is the absolute principle," Jiang Zemin and the third generation of leaders stated, "Development is the Party's top priority in governing and rejuvenating the country."$^{:49}$
