Rule of law

- CPC to set up central leading group for advancing law-based governance in all areas

The move is aimed at exercising unified leadership over the initiative to build rule of law in China, Xi said.

Advancing law-based governance in all fields is a profound revolution in China's governance, he said.

Party building

- 'Sweeping victory' in anti-corruption

Calling corruption "the greatest threat" the Party faces, Xi said the fight against corruption never ends and currently remains grave and complex.

- China to scrap 'shuanggui' practice

Xi said China will replace the practice of "shuanggui" with detention as the reform of the national supervision system deepens.

Shuanggui is an intra-party disciplinary practice that requires a CPC member under investigation to cooperate with questioning at a designated place and a designated time. The practice is exercised by the Party's disciplinary officials.

Xi said China will set up supervisory commissions at the national, provincial, city, and county levels, which share offices and work together with the Party's disciplinary inspection commissions.

A national supervision law will be formulated.

- CPC to launch campaign for staying true to founding mission

Xi said the Party will launch a campaign to instruct its 89 million members to use the Party's new theories to fortify their thinking.

The campaign, on the theme of "staying true to our founding mission," covers all Party members, especially officials at and above the county and director level, he said.
