People's Daily article stresses significance of election for 19th CPC national congress

Xinhua, December 6, 2016 Adjust font size:

The People's Daily, the flagship newspaper of the Communist Party of China (CPC), will run a commentary Wednesday on the ongoing election of delegates to the Party's 19th National Congress.

The 2,300 elected delegates will represent more than 88 million CPC members and 4.4 million Party organizations, and they will perform duties according to the Party's will and the people's expectations, according to the commentary seen by Xinhua on Tuesday.

During the congress, delegates will hear and examine reports from the CPC Central Committee and the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), listen to Party members and the general public, discuss and decide on major issues of the Party, and elect a new central committee of the CPC and a new CCDI.

The quality of the delegates matters to the future of the Party and national stability and order, the article underscored.

Party organs at all levels were asked to understand the significance of the election and do all in their power to ensure the election's success.

Delegates to the 19th National Congress of the CPC should be excellent Party members, the commentary reads, political standards are the primary criterion for selecting candidates, and their beliefs, political integrity and moral qualities will be examined. They must also be loyal and have successfully implemented the central authorities' decisions.

In order to better represent Party members, the number of delegates from the production sector, such as factory workers, will be increased; excellent members who have made outstanding contributions to science or poverty relief should also be recommended; and female delegates and ethnic minorities should account for a certain proportion of the total, it said.
