The Campaign to Educate Party Members About the Mass Line
The CPC made a strategic decision at its 18th National Congress to launch a campaign to educate Party members about the mass line. The campaign started in June, 2013, and was basically concluded by October, 2014. It was mainly about serving the people, being pragmatic and being incorruptible, and took place throughout the entire Party from the top down in two phases. This campaign gave Party members and officials a deeper understanding of the Marxist perspective on working with the people; it made effective inroads against the "Four Malfeasances"; and it revived and encouraged the great traditions of criticism and self-criticism. It refined institutional systems by focusing on changing work practices, led to breakthroughs in critical issues directly affecting the interests of the people, and further strengthened the foundation of the Party's governance.
党的群众路线教育实践活动
开展党的群众路线教育实践活动是中共十八大作出的一项战略决策。活动从2013年6月开始,2014年10月基本结束,以为民、务实、清廉为主要内容,在全党范围内自上而下分两批开展。通过开展这次活动,广大党员、干部受到马克思主义群众观点的深刻教育,形式主义、官僚主义、享乐主义和奢靡之风得到有力整治,恢复和发扬了批评和自我批评优良传统,以转作风改作风为重点的制度体系更加完善,影响群众切身利益的症结难点得到突破,党的执政基础更加稳固。
