CPC pushes fundamental improvement in Party's political ecosystem: resolution

BEIJING — The Communist Party of China will work toward a fundamental improvement in the political ecosystem of the Party, said a resolution on a report on the work of the 18th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

The 19th National Congress of the CPC reviewed and approved the report, and fully endorsed the commission's work, according to the resolution passed Tuesday at the closing session of the twice-a-decade congress.

The congress urged central and local commissions for discipline inspection to remain true to the Party's original aspiration and keep the Party's mission firmly in mind, work toward a fundamental improvement in the political ecosystem of the Party, with the focus on its leadership, capacity building, full and strict self-governance, conduct and integrity and anti-corruption endeavor, said the resolution.

They were asked to fulfill their duties to exercise oversight, enforce discipline and ensure accountability as required by the Party Constitution, it said.

The congress called on the discipline watchdogs to hold high the banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics and follow the guidance of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Theory of Three Represents, the Scientific Outlook on Development, and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.

The ruling Party's fight against corruption has gained crushing momentum in the past five years thanks to its firm campaign targeting both high-ranking and low-level officials.
