Jiang Jianguo:
Thanks for your introduction, Executive Vice Minister Huang Kunming. Now let’s give the floor to Vice Minister Qi Yu to talk about the Norms as well as the details and progress of the Party organization and its team building efforts.
Qi Yu, vice minister of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee:
Nice to meet you. The sixth plenary session of the 18th CPC Central Committee has just passed the Norms. My introduction will focus on this document.
The plenum sets a new standard because, firstly, it’s necessary for completing the "Four Comprehensives" strategy. Coordinating and promoting the "Four Comprehensives" strategy is a new governance guideline decided by the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping as its core. The 3rd, 4th and 5th plenary meetings of the 18th CPC Central Committee have already discussed comprehensively deepening reform, comprehensively ruling by law and comprehensively building a moderately prosperous society. The 6th plenum addressed the topic of comprehensively and strictly governing the Party by formulating the Norms and the Regulation. Thus, the each of the "Four Comprehensives" strategy has been researched and deployed during a previous plenum, which is the CPC’s holistic design.
The second is the demand to deepen comprehensively strictly governing the Party. The sixth plenary session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, on the basis of in-depth summarization of the actual practices of comprehensively strictly governing the Party since the 18th CPC National Congress, carefully analyzed the new conditions and new issues regarding the construction of the Party in the new situation, and accordingly made new institutional arrangements for strengthening and standardizing the political life within the Party.
The third is the demand for solving prominent conflicts and problems existing in the Party. In the long-term, the condition of the Party's political life has remained sound in general, although some conflicts and problems have surfaced in recently. As for dealing with these issues, the Party has taken a series of new measures since the 18th CPC National Congress, which have led to noticeable improvements in the Party's political ecosystem. To consolidate the positive trend of comprehensively strictly governing the Party, effectively suppressing the rebound and relapse of problems already solved in the past, and preventing new conflicts and problems from emerging and spreading, we must adhere to the unity of constructing the Party based on ideological principles and governing the Party with institutional regulations, perfect standards and consolidate the system.
To formulate the Norms is to carry forward the CPC’s fine traditions and valuable experience and to implement the new concepts, philosophies and strategies put forward by the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as its core. The Norms follows the Party Constitution as its fundamental basis and formulates systematic standards for the political life within the Party under new circumstances. The Norms is composed of three parts with 12 chapters.
The first part is the preface. It explains the vital roles and historical experience of the political life within the Party, existing problems, circumstances and tasks the Party faces and the importance and immediacy of strengthening and regulating the political life within the Party under new circumstances. It also puts forward the goals and requirements of strengthening and regulating the political life within the Party.
The second part is the main body. It puts forward 12 aspects regarding the specific requirements and detailed provisions of strengthening and regulating the political life within the Party, including holding firm to ideals and beliefs, sticking to the CPC’s basic guidelines, upholding the authority of the CPC Central Committee, straightening out political disciplines, keeping in close touch with the people, sticking to the principle of democratic centralism, developing intra-Party democracy and safeguarding Party members’ rights, adhering to correct guidance in appointing talent, strengthening the CPC’s organizational system, practicing criticism and self-criticism, strengthening control over and supervision of the exercise of power and upholding political cleanness and integrity.
The third part is the conclusion. It is mainly about strengthening the Party’s leadership and supervision and high-level officials taking the lead in setting examples to make sure every task is implemented. The Norms puts forward over 160 new major ideas and measures. The promulgation of the Norms is an important milestone in the history of Party building and will surely exert far-reaching influence on the accomplishment of the CPC’s governance missions and goals. I will stop here. Thank you!
