Page 4 - REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE CHINESE PEOPLE’S POLITICAL CONSULTATIVE CONFERENCE

Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and upholding the CPC’s overall leadership over
the CPPCC’s work
Based on a keen understanding of the political nature of the CPPCC as an

important institution for CPC-led multiparty cooperation and political
consultation, we reinforced theoretical and political guidance through study of

the CPC’s new theories. We got our work off to a good start by strengthening
Party building in the CPPCC and made this a consistent priority throughout
our work.

We improved the system whereby the leading Party members’ group holds
regular study sessions and leads by example in theoretical study. We

established 11 study groups on Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese
Characteristics for a New Era and convened a total of 179 study sessions. We

carried out an initiative to raise awareness of the need to stay true to the
Party’s founding mission and studied the history of the CPC in particular,

along with the history of the People’s Republic of China, reform and opening
up, and socialism. Through studying of the history of the united front and the
CPPCC, our members acquired a stronger sense of identity with the CPC and

with socialism with Chinese characteristics politically, intellectually,
theoretically, and emotionally, and our shared theoretical and political

foundation has been further consolidated.
We conducted study campaigns for General Secretary Xi Jinping’s

important ideas on strengthening and improving CPPCC work. We thoroughly
studied and implemented the guidelines set at the Central Conference on

CPPCC Work and conducted a follow-up review of our progress last year,
which helped further deepen our understanding of the laws underlying
CPPCC work.

We earnestly implemented the Guidelines on Strengthening Party Building
in the CPPCC for the New Era and held a forum, the first of its kind, on

strengthening Party organizations in the CPPCC. We continued to improve the
system through which the CPC exercises overall leadership over CPPCC work

and refined the mechanisms for inspecting efforts to implement the CPC
Central Committee’s major decisions and plans and act on General Secretary Xi
