Xinhua, February 27, 2015 Adjust font size:

Officials should bear in mind the risk of incompetence and constantly work to improve themselves, Chinese President Xi Jinping has said.

Xi made the remarks in the preface to a series of training books for officials on a wide spectrum of topics.

"Party members get to where they are by learning, and they have to rely on learning to walk toward the future," Xi said, calling for more study, and practice for officials.
