The usage is: a verb acts as a noun



The statement also paid tribute to what party officials call the Important Thought of Three Represents, Jiang's idea that the Communist Party should represent free-market business leaders and the vanguard of new thinking as well as peasants and workers who traditionally have been its base.

I would add "which is".

In my view, the adding seems not that necessary.

You haven't answered the question:

Do you feel the construction of "Three Represents" comfortable?
