国内英语资讯:Xi emphasizes upholding, developing socialism with Chinese characteristics

Neither is it effortless to exercise strict discipline to officials and prevent and fight corruption at ordinary time or to follow the tide of the times and respond to the wishes of the people at the junctures of significant changes.

"To remain at the vanguard of the times, the backbone of the nation, and a Marxist governing party, our Party must always hold itself to the highest standards," he said.

Xi said the senior officials, also known as the "key few," are crucial to Party governance. He told them to have firm convictions and take the lead to embrace deep belief in and faithfully practice Communism and socialism with Chinese characteristics.

He required the officials to take a clear political stand in ideology and to uphold the authority of the CPC Central Committee, implement the Party's political line and strictly observe the Party's political discipline and rules in practice.

He asked them to enhance their sense of responsibility, strengthen their calibre and abilities, and improve their work style and conduct, urging them to serve the people wholeheartedly.

Action against the practice of formality for formality's sake, bureaucratism, hedonism, and extravagance must be carried out persistently, he said.

Xi said officials should strengthen ethics and pursue healthy interests to keep up with the high standards of clean governance and self-discipline.

He stressed that the more achievements China makes, the more prudent and prepared officials should become to avoid making strategic and subversive mistakes.
