China ruling party indaba set for October

BEIJING. – The sixth plenary session of the 18th Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee has been scheduled for October, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee announced after a meeting yesterday. The plenum in Beijing will include the delivery of a work report to the CPC Central Committee by the Political Bureau, review of key issues concerning the comprehensive and strict management of the party, writing the norms of intra-party political life under the new situation; and a revision to an intra-party supervision regulation, according to a statement released after yesterday’s meeting.

The meeting was presided over by President Xi Jinping, who is also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee. Attendees agreed that self-management and strict governance “must all begin from the intra-party political life.”

A serious and meticulous approach to political life has been a fine tradition and political advantage of the CPC, the statement said. Over the years, the CPC has formulated basic norms of intra-party political life, featuring principles such as “seeking truth from facts”, linking theory with realities, maintaining close links to the masses, among others.

Although the political life in the party has been good in general terms, there has also been outstanding problems, hence there is the need for writing a set of norms for political life in the party under the new circumstances, the statement said.

When improving and regulating intra-party political life under the new circumstances, the statement said, attention will be focused on government agencies and officials at all levels, particularly senior officials including members of the CPC Central Committee, Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, and the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.

Senior officials, particularly members of the central leadership, must lead by example, follow the party constitution and rules, conform to the party’s political norms and disciplines, always remember the party’s mission and set a good example for party members. – Xinhua.
