Deeper reform of Party and state institutions is a profound evolution in modernizing China’s system and capacity for governance, it said.
Party and state institutions form an important part of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and a significant guarantee for the Party’s governance, it noted.
Led by the CPC, China established socialism as its basic system and gradually created the system for the function of Party and state institutions with Chinese characteristics after the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, it read.
During the process of socialist construction and reform and opening up, the Party actively advanced the reform of Party and state institutions and gradually optimized and standardized their functions, it said.
Since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has worked toward the overall goal of improving and developing the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, while modernizing China’s system and capacity for governance.
The CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core has strengthened Party leadership, focused on solving problems, highlighted major fi elds, deepened reform of Party and state institutions, and made major progress in important fi elds and key areas, which provide a guarantee for the historic achievements and shifts in the cause of the Party and the country, it said. Faced with new requirements for various tasks in the new era, the current function and structure of Party and state institutions are not completely suitable for coordinately implementing the five-sphere integrated plan and the four-pronged comprehensive strategy, nor for modernizing China’s system and capacity for governance, it said.
The whole Party must unite in thought, be confident, grasp opportunities and resolve to tackle obstacles and disadvantages of the system for Party and state institutions during the process of deepening reform in all areas.
The whole Party must accelerate and advance the modernization of China’s system and capacity for governance and give full play to the advantages of China’s socialist system, it said.
Overall Party leadership must be implemented and upheld, while the people-centered,optimized, coordinated and efficient principle, as well as law-based governance must be upheld in deepening reform of Party and state institutions, according to the communiqué.
The guiding thought for deepening reform of Party and state institutions is to implement the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress, follow the guidance of MarxismLeninism, 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 reform should also adapt to the needs of the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, uphold the underlying principle of pursuing progress while ensuring stability, keep reform heading in the right direction, take a people-centered approach and adhere to law-based governance.
To carry out reform, it is essential to take strengthening the Party’s overall leadership as the overarching principle, take modernization of state system and capacity for governance as guidance, and take enhancing efficiency and optimization of Party and state institutions as the focus of efforts, it said.
The communiqué also called for efforts to reform the institutional setting, optimize function disposition, and improve efficiency and effectiveness to provide an institutional guarantee to secure a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and to embark on a new journey to fully build a modern socialist China and realize the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation.
The goals of deepening reform of Party and state institutions include: —establishing a Party and state institutional function system that is well conceived, fully built, procedure based, and efficiently functioning;
—forming a CPC leadership system that ensures the Party always provides overall leadership and coordinates the efforts of all involved, a law-based administrative governance system with clear functions and responsibilities, a world-class armed forces system with Chinese characteristics, as well as a sound work system of people’s organizations for bridging and serving the general populace;
—promoting coordinated actions and resultant forces among the people’s congresses, governments, political advisory bodies, and supervisory, judicial and prosecutorial organs, people’s organizations, enterprises, public institutions, and social organizations under the unifi ed leadership of the CPC.
Deeper reform on the CPC and state institutions will improve China’s governance level and capacity, according to the communiqué.
A primary task for deepening reform of Party and state institutions is to improve the system for upholding overall Party leadership in a bid to strengthen the CPC’s leadership in every sector, ensure its all-encompassing coverage and make it more forceful.
Efforts should be made to establish and improve the institutions and mechanisms by which the Party exercises leadership over major tasks, and elevate the status of Party organizations among organizations of the same level.
The reform should also give better play to the role of the Party’s functionary department, set up Party and government institutions with integrated plans, and advance reform of the Party’s disciplinary inspection and the country’s supervisory systems.
The CPC Central Committee has stressed the need to transform government functions and the resolve to remove institutional barriers so that the market plays the decisive role in resource allocation and the government plays its role better.
The transformation should focus on promoting high-quality development, developing a modernized economy, adjusting and optimizing the functions of government institutions as well as allocating the functions of macromanagement institutions in a reasonable way, according to the document.
It called for efforts to further streamline administration and delegate powers.
It also stressed better systems of market supervision, natural resources and environmental management, and public service management. The government must strengthen operational and post-operational oversight, enhance administrative efficiency and government effectiveness to build itself into a service-oriented government able to satisfy the needs of the people, according to the communiqué.
The CPC will promote coordinated reforms of institutions in the Party, the government, the military and people’s organizations, according to the document.
Such reforms are necessities for strengthening the centralized and unifi ed leadership of the CPC as well as achieving the coordinated and effective functions of these institutions, according to the communiqué.
The reform should eye optimizing the functions of Party departments, state organs, people’s organizations and public institutions. The arrangement of Party and government organs should be improved, according to the communiqué.
It calls for deepening the reform of people’s congresses, political advisory bodies and judicial organs.
The reform should strengthen the CPC leadership, enhance the government’s ad- ministrative capacity, inspire vitality in people’s organizations and social organizations, sharpen military combat capability so that various institutions connect and coordinate with each other.
The CPC Central Committee called for improved relations between central and local authorities.
A relationship with clearly defined responsibilities is key to governing a big country like China, said the communiqué.
It said the setup of central and local institutions and the allocation of responsibilities should be improved to build a smooth, vigorous system in which orders are executed without fail.
While the central authorities will strengthen macro-management, the local authorities should carry out orders from the top to the detail and do their jobs well. More decision-making power should be given to organs at and below the provincial level.
At local levels, the setup of institutions should be improved, each with clearly defi ned work responsibilities to strengthen local governance, the document said.
The CPC Central Committee envisions a lean and effective grassroots governance system.
The communiqué also said it was important to legalize the staffing of institutions. Rules and regulations should be drawn to better defi ne the functions, powers, responsibilities and operations of such institutions.
Identifying reform as a complex project, the plenary session asked Party committees and governments at various levels to concentrate on fully implementing the reform decision and to provide guarantees to reform in accordance with the law and regulations. They were also required to pursue reform in a more systematic, holistic, and coordinated way.
The plenary session called on the whole Party and Chinese people of all ethnic groups to rally closely around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, achieve unity in thought and action, and ensure the full implementation of tasks in institutional reform. Continued efforts are needed to improve the system of Party and state institutions that are well-conceived, fully built, procedure based, and functioning effi ciently, said the communiqué.
It also called for hard work to secure a decisive victory in finishing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects, to speed up the socialist modernization and to realize the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation.
