On Party building

提高党的建设科学化水平

-- Combating corruption and promoting political integrity, which is a major political issue of great concern to the people, is a clear-cut and long-term political commitment of the Party. If we fail to handle this issue well, it could prove fatal to the Party, and even cause the collapse of the Party and the fall of the state.

反对腐败、建设廉洁政治，是党一贯坚持的鲜明政治立场，是人民关注的重大政治问题。这个问题解决不好，就会对党造成致命伤害，甚至亡党亡国。

-- Leading officials at all levels, especially high-ranking officials, must readily observe the code of conduct on clean governance and report all important matters. They should both exercise strict self-discipline and strengthen education and supervision over their families and their staff; and they should never seek any privilege.

各级党组织和广大党员、干部特别是主要领导干部一定要自觉遵守党章，自觉按照党的组织原则和党内政治生活准则办事，任何人都不能凌驾于组织之上。要坚决维护中央权威，在思想上政治上行动上同党中央保持高度一致，坚决贯彻党的理论和路线方针政策。加强监督检查，严肃党的纪律特别是政治纪律，形成全党上下步调一致、奋发进取的强大力量。
