Kathmandu— Chinese President Xi Jinping has stressed the ongoing need to consolidate and expand a Communist Party of China (CPC) study and education campaign focused on establishing a correct understanding of governance performance. In recent instructions studied at a meeting of the CPC Central Leading Group for Party Building, Xi emphasized that prioritizing practical results is a long-term effort requiring sustained commitment from Party members and officials. The initiative, which concluded recently after beginning in late February, aimed to address issues like vanity projects and undue burdens on local communities.

Campaign’s Institutional Importance

Xi Jinping highlighted that organizing study and education campaigns to tackle key issues in Party building has become a regular practice since the 18th CPC National Congress. He lauded the notable achievements of the latest campaign, framing such initiatives as an important institutional arrangement for strengthening governance. The emphasis on consistent educational efforts is intended to ensure officials consistently prioritize responsibility, duty, and fulfilling obligations based on a pragmatic approach to performance.

Focus on Assessment and Personnel

Xi Jinping called for improvements to assessment and evaluation systems, advocating for differentiation in how officials are measured. He also stressed the importance of aligning personnel selection and appointments with a focus on solid work and tangible results. This shift aims to discourage superficial achievements and prioritize concrete contributions to governance.

Campaign Outcomes and Future Plans

Participants at Monday’s meeting thoroughly studied Xi's instructions, reviewed the recently concluded campaign, and discussed plans for consolidating its outcomes. The group also focused on establishing a long-term mechanism to ensure the principles of correct governance performance are consistently upheld. According to reports from the meeting, the campaign successfully addressed issues related to misguided views on governance, improved official conduct at all levels, and provided momentum for initiatives linked to China’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030).

The CPC Central Leading Group for Party Building plans to continue monitoring the implementation of these principles and refine mechanisms to ensure long-term adherence to a results-oriented approach to governance.
