CPC issues rules to regulate leading Party members' groups

Xinhua, June 16, 2015 Adjust font size:

The Communist Party of China announced a new regulation that seeks to strengthen the guidance of its members in various state organs and non-Party units on Tuesday.

"Leading Party members' groups", organizations of high-profile party members who gather to help implement CPC policy, may be formed in state organs, organizations or other non-Party units, including ministries, state-owned enterprises and associations for writers and other professions. They work to ensure the Party line, theories and policies are properly implemented at their host organization.

Unlike elected Party committees, the composition of a leading Party members' group is decided by the Party organization that approves it.

The new regulation offers fresh guidelines for the establishment, function, principles and decision-making procedures of such a group, stressing supervision over operations and a system to pursue liabilities in case of errors.

"The making and implementation of the regulation is of crucial importance to strengthen and improve the CPC's guidance and governing capacities, ensuring that the Party plays a better role in overseeing the general situation and coordinating all sides," said a CPC statement accompanying the regulation.

The regulation was approved late in May at a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee presided over by President Xi Jinping. It took effect on June 11. Endi
