Why It Matters
The concept of "Xi Jinping Thought on Party Building" was presented as a significant development in Marxist and CCP history. It outlines key principles for party governance and anti-corruption.
During a national conference on party building on Monday, the concept of “Xi Jinping Thought on Party Building” was hailed as “a milestone in the history of Marxist theory on party building and in the history of Chinese Communist Party building”, according to a report from state broadcaster CCTV.
The report said “Xi Jinping Thought on Party Building” put forth “14 insists”, which included insistence on “a centralised, unified leadership of the party Central Committee”, insistence on “full and rigorous party self-governance” and insistence on an organisational system that is cohesive across different levels.
Fighting corruption is also a major focus. The doctrine demands that coordinated efforts be made to ensure “officials do not have the audacity, opportunity or desire to commit corruption”.
The latest addition to the party’s theoretical canon has been introduced around a year before the next party congress, which is expected to be held in autumn 2027. It is expected that more than two-thirds of the party’s Central Committee will be replaced due to customary age limits. Major reshuffles of the Politburo and its Standing Committee are also predicted.
