Let’s leave no room for evil, says Xi
Print Edition
PRESIDENT Xi Jinping has called for further efforts to eliminate corruption, describing it as “the deadliest pollution source” affecting the political environment within the Communist Party of China.
Xi, who is also general secretary of the Party’s Central Committee, was speaking at a study session on Party discipline attended by members of the committee’s Political Bureau on Tuesday.
Xi said a clean political environment within the Party has been crucial to maintaining its vigor, advantages, creativity and unity over the past 95 years and was what distinguishes it from non-Marxist parties.
The Party is set to celebrate its 95th anniversary tomorrow.
Recalling the Party’s development from just over 50 members to the world’s largest ruling Party with more than 88 million members, Xi noted that such growth was based on ties with the people, rationality, firm beliefs, sound organization and rules, all of which are closely related to the political environment within the Party.
“We should pay equal attention to preventing bad acts and encouraging good ones to fill our Party with positive energy and leave no room for evil,” Xi said.
As the Party is leading the country to realize its development goals and the dream of national revival, intra-Party reform is a priority, Xi said.
The Central Committee has worked hard to remove harmful practices of officials, such as bureaucracy and extravagance, and has severely punished officials who violated its code of conduct or broke the law, Xi said.
As a result, the political environment within the Party is refreshing, he said.
However, Xi stressed that problems will not be solved overnight and the Party must continue to improve its internal governance.
Xi told the meeting that measures to enhance the Party’s ideological and political integrity are a top priority.
He called for a better approach when selecting and promoting officials, in order to ensure they are faithful, clean and responsible and to purify relations among Party members and between leaders and subordinates.
