BEIJING, Nov. 5-- An explanatory speech made by Xi Jinping on the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee's decision on some major issues concerning how to uphold and improve the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and advance the modernization of China's system and capacity for governance was made public Tuesday. Entrusted by the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Xi, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, delivered the speech to the fourth plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, which convened from Oct. 28 to 31 in Beijing. The decision was adopted at the session. Xi explained the background and considerations for focusing on how to uphold and improve the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and advance the modernization of China's system and capacity for governance. "First, this is a major task for delivering on the two centenary goals," Xi said. With deepening reform and opening up, the Party has a stronger appreciation of institution building, Xi said, adding the CPC's 15th, 16th and 17th national congresses all put forward clear requirements on the subject. The Party has placed institution building in a more prominent position since the 18th CPC National Congress, Xi said, adding that the 19th CPC National Congress set the goals for the building of China's system and capacity for governance, with new strides made at the second and third plenary sessions of the 19th CPC Central Committee. |
