STRENGTHENED SUPERVISION
At the session, attendees approved a regulation on intra-Party supervision. The communique released after the session stressed supervision as the fundamental guarantee for exercising power, as well as being a crucial measure for strengthening and regulating political life.
It called for integrating intra-Party supervision with the public, in a bid to strengthen the Party's ability to regulate itself, improve itself and innovate itself for the purpose of long-term rule.
Supervision was one of the keywords at the session, and it appeared in the communique over 40 times.
Li Yongzhong, former deputy head of the Chinese Discipline Inspection Institute, said the new regulation would serve as a tool for intra-Party supervision, and bolster the inspection of Party committees, as well as encourage the public to take part in the anti-graft drive.
Wang said that as Party members account for the majority of China's civil servants, intra-Party supervision is vital in building a clean government.
With the new regulation, as well as other new regulations approved in recent days, intra-Party supervision will be further improved, Wang added.
The communique also noted that supervision is fundamental in the correct operation of political power, and important in strengthening and regulating political life. It said that power without restrictions should never exist in the Party.
Li added that excessive centralized power and power abuse would lead to privilege and corruption. Therefore, keeping power controlled and improving the supervision of power is a must for the Party.
CORE OF LEADERSHIP
The communique called on all CPC members to "closely unite around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core."
"The call is conducive to establishing the authority of the CPC Central Committee, increasing solidarity within the Party, and enhancing cohesion and fighting capacity," Xin said.
A leading core is vital to a country and a political party, and the CPC Central Committee must have a core in order to guarantee that the CPC becomes a Marxist ruling party and a steady leading power of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
The CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core reflects the common aspiration of people from all ethnic groups in China, Xin said.
It is in the fundamental interests of the Party and state, and a fundamental guarantee for strengthening the CPC leadership.
Since Xi took helm of the CPC in late 2012, the Party has achieved profound achievements in reform, development, stability, internal and foreign affairs, national defense, Party governance and state administration.
The reason the CPC has always been endorsed by the public and won victory in revolutionary struggles lies in its core of strong leadership, which leads the Party and people to progress constantly, Xin said.
