In Beijing on January 28, Premier Li Qiang, a key member of the CPC Central Committee’s Political Bureau Standing Committee, presided over the State Council’s fourth plenary on clean governance. The session highlighted the imperative of following General Secretary Xi Jinping’s guiding thoughts and the essence of his address at the 20th Central Discipline Inspection Commission’s fifth plenum.

Li Qiang laid out a clear roadmap: implement the CPC’s strict governance strategy with elevated benchmarks and actionable steps. The priority is to construct a corruption-free administration and intensify the battle against graft, securing success in the 15th Five-Year Plan’s objectives.

He stressed that all levels of government and party bodies must embrace their political duties resolutely. This involves genuinely recognizing responsibilities, taking them up, and executing them effectively. The premier’s remarks come amid ongoing efforts to purify the ranks of power.

This meeting builds on previous sessions, reflecting a sustained campaign against corruption that has ensnared high-profile officials. By reinforcing discipline, China aims to foster a governance model that supports long-term stability and growth. The implications extend to bolstering investor confidence and maintaining social harmony.
