Party looks at culture

THE 17th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China opened its Sixth Plenary Session in Beijing yesterday to reform the country's cultural development.

Members will discuss issues on deepening the reform of the country's cultural system and promoting the development of socialist culture at the plenum, which is scheduled to end on Tuesday.

Central authorities have realized that culture is increasingly a major source of national cohesion and creativity and a backbone of the country's economic and social development, while spiritual and cultural contentment is becoming a cordial aspiration for the Chinese people.

The plenum will summarize the achievements and experiences of past cultural reforms. They will also draft goals so that the nation continues down the path of socialist cultural development with Chinese characteristics, analysts said.

On September 26, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a meeting where participants discussed a report on cultural reform.

Analysts said the document embodied the wisdom of the CPC and other groups.
