Party being forged to meet challenges

As top leader of the ruling party of the world's largest and fast-growing developing country, what kind of political party Xi Jinping is resolved to forge and how does he plan to govern a party with a 95-year-old history and more than 88 million members that aims to realize the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation?

The answers to such questions were offered by the just-concluded Sixth Plenum of the 18th Communist Party of China Central Committee four years after Xi became the Party general secretary. At the plenum, Xi made clear the ruling party will be forged to deal with various crises and challenges within and outside the Party and the nation, and to implement the Party leadership's decisions without reservations. He also said the ruling party will have a strong executive capability and revolutionary spirit.

Several political parties emerged in modern China to free the country and its people from foreign oppression and aggression, but all failed in their mission except the CPC. The CPC's success can largely be attributed to the extensive support and endorsement it gained from the Chinese people. Without any selfish interest, the CPC made unremitting efforts for the benefit of the Chinese nation and its people. It is this consistent revolutionary spirit that has won for the CPC the Chinese people's extensive approval and backing in modern times and given it the status of the ruling party.
