Xi chairs CPC leadership meeting to review work regulations on decision-making, deliberation, coordination

BEIJING,  (Xinhua) — The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held a meeting on June 30 to review a set of regulations on the work of the Party Central Committee’s decision-making, deliberative and coordinating institutions. Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, presided over the meeting.

The meeting noted that establishing the Party Central Committee’s decision-making, deliberative and coordinating institutions is an important institutional arrangement to enhance the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee over major initiatives, and to ensure the accomplishment of major tasks. The formulation and issuance of the regulations will further standardize the establishment, responsibilities, and operations of such institutions. The regulations are of great significance for enhancing top-level design, overall coordination, integrated advancement, and effective implementation of major initiatives.

The meeting emphasized that the Party Central Committee’s decision-making, deliberative and coordinating institutions must have a precise understanding of their responsibilities and roles. They should focus on planning, discussing, and oversight of major tasks, providing more effective overarching guidance and coordination over major initiatives. While fully exercising their coordinating responsibilities, they must avoid taking over others’ functions or overstepping boundaries. It is essential to conduct in-depth research to improve the quality and effectiveness of decision-making and deliberation, and to propose practical and effective policy measures. It is essential to avoid formalism and bureaucratism and deliver real results.

Some other matters were also discussed at the meeting.
