Eight-Point Decision on Improving Party and Government Conduct
The Eight-point Decision on improving Party and government conduct and building closer ties with the people was issued at a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on December 4, 2012. It covers the following main areas:
? doing better research and analysis and truly understanding actual conditions when doing grassroots-level studies;
? streamlining meetings and improving the way meetings are conducted;
? making documents and briefing papers more concise and improving writing styles;
? standardizing procedures for working visits abroad;
? improving security guard work and continuing to observe the principle of doing what improves relations with the people;
? improving news report;
? having strict rules on the publication of articles; and
? promoting frugality and the strict observance of rules on incorruptibility in government.
The Eight-point Decision is neither the highest standards, nor the ultimate one. It is only the first step in the CPC’s efforts to improve its practices – the minimum expected of Party members. Xi Jinping stated that “l(fā)eading officials at all levels must lead by example and serve as role models, and they must do as they say and live up to their promises. Within the Political Bureau, I will start with myself.”
Following the release of the Eight-point Decision on Improving Party and Government Conduct, a series of measures on work practices are being issued.
中央八項(xiàng)規(guī)定
2012年12月4日，中央政治局召開會議，確定了關(guān)于改進(jìn)工作作風(fēng)、密切聯(lián)系群眾的八項(xiàng)規(guī)定。主要內(nèi)容是：改進(jìn)調(diào)查研究，到基層調(diào)研要深入了解真實(shí)情況；精簡會議活動(dòng)，切實(shí)改進(jìn)會風(fēng)；精簡文件簡報(bào)，切實(shí)改進(jìn)文風(fēng)；規(guī)范出訪活動(dòng)；改進(jìn)警衛(wèi)工作，堅(jiān)持有利于聯(lián)系群眾的原則；改進(jìn)新聞報(bào)道；嚴(yán)格文稿發(fā)表；厲行勤儉節(jié)約，嚴(yán)格遵守廉潔從政有關(guān)規(guī)定。八項(xiàng)規(guī)定既不是最高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，更不是最終目的，只是中共改進(jìn)作風(fēng)的第一步，是共產(chǎn)黨人應(yīng)該做到的基本要求。習(xí)近平強(qiáng)調(diào)，“各級領(lǐng)導(dǎo)干部要以身作則、率先垂范，說到的就要做到，承諾的就要兌現(xiàn)，中央政治局同志從我本人做起。”中央八項(xiàng)規(guī)定之后，關(guān)于作風(fēng)建設(shè)的一系列措施陸續(xù)出臺。
