Xi Urges Full Rigorous CPC Self-Governance on 104th Anniversary

As the Communist Party of China (CPC) commemorated its 104th anniversary, President Xi Jinping called for strengthened self-governance and improved conduct within the Party to tackle corruption and bureaucratic excesses. Xi emphasized the need for a clear, transparent, and traceable mechanism to regulate the exercise of power, urging Party members to respect the people, the law, and discipline. The Party's ongoing austerity campaign, centered on the eight-point rules introduced in 2012, targets extravagance, unnecessary formalities, and abuse of public funds to restore public trust and enhance governance. Xi highlighted the complexities of China's modernization tasks and called for persistent efforts in Party self-reform, particularly by senior officials leading by example. The CPC, with over 100 million members, continues to focus on combating graft and improving discipline through education campaigns and rectification actions. These measures aim to sustain the Party’s role as the backbone of the nation amid a challenging governance environment.
