The Campaign to Educate Party Members About the Mass Line

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. On May 9, 2013, the CPC Central Committee issued a directive on launching the campaign nationwide, which 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 top-down throughout the entire Party 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。2013年5月9日中共中央发出《关于在全党深入开展党的群众路线教育实践活动的意见》。教育实践活动以为民、务实、清廉为主要内容，在全党范围内自上而下分两批开展，从2013年6月开始，2014年10月基本结束。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，批评和自我批评的优良传统得以恢复和发扬，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取得突破，党的执政基础更加稳固。
