Page 7 - Resolution of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China on the Revised Constitution of the Communist Party of China

offers a fundamental guarantee for achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese
nation. The Congress agrees to add to the Party Constitution statements on the
Party being the highest force for political leadership and on upholding and

strengthening the overall leadership of the Party. These additions will help the
Party fulfill its core role of exercising overall leadership and coordinating the

efforts of all sides and will help ensure that Party leadership is exercised in all
aspects and every stage of the endeavors of the Party and the country.
The Congress notes that in view of the successful experience gained in Party

work and Party building since the 19th Party Congress and in compliance with the
revisions to the General Program, appropriate revisions to some articles of the

Party Constitution are necessary.
The following are now included into the obligations of all Party members:

study the history of the Party; strengthen consciousness of the need to maintain
political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep

in alignment with the central Party leadership; stay confident in the path, theory,
system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics; and uphold Comrade
Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a

whole and uphold the Central Committee’s authority and its centralized, unified
leadership.

To see that primary-level Party organizations play a key role in ensuring the
exercise of the Party’s leadership, revisions are made in order to help strengthen

Party building in hospitals, clearly define the status and functions of Party
organizations in subdistricts, townships, towns, villages, and communities, and

refine the responsibilities of Party committees and leading Party members groups
in state-owned enterprises with regard to strengthening their own organizational
development.

To fully reflect the achievements in Party work and Party building since the
19th National Congress, revisions are made in order to regularize and

institutionalize activities to study Party history; require Party officials at all levels
to oppose privilege-seeking mindsets and practices; amend provisions related to

Party discipline; clearly define the coverage of dispatched discipline inspection
teams; define major new tasks for commissions for discipline inspection; and
