The Standing Committee of the 17th Central Committee of the Chinese Peasants and Workers Democratic Party (CPWDP) held its 18th meeting in a hybrid format of both online and offline participation in Beijing on Nov 4.

The meeting focused on thoroughly studying and implementing the guiding principles of the fifth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

He Wei, vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and chairman of the CPWDP Central Committee, attended the meeting and delivered a speech.

Yang Zhen, vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and executive vice-chairman of the CPWDP Central Committee, presided over the meeting.

He Wei noted that the fifth plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee was a significant meeting held at a crucial stage in China's efforts to basically achieve socialist modernization. It is necessary to deeply understand and grasp the guiding principles of the plenary session, said He.

He Wei emphasized that studying and implementing the guiding principles is a major political task for the CPWDP, both now and in the period ahead.

CPWDP members should enhance their political, ideological, and practical awareness in studying and implementing the guiding principles, he added. 

He also stressed the importance of learning from the CPC to strengthen full and rigorous self-governance within the CPWDP with higher standards, stricter requirements, more practical measures and greater efforts. This involves enforcing discipline and fighting corruption, and improving the system of party self-governance, he stated.‌

The meeting adopted the Resolution of the CPWDP Central Committee on Studying and Implementing the Guiding Principles of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee.
