Strict Governance over the Party and the Military
Since the 18th CPC National Congress, Xi Jinping has made major policy moves to enforce stricter discipline within the Party and the military. The key to building unbreakable discipline within the military lies in stricter discipline within the Party. Stronger and better disciplined Party organizations within the military ensure effective implementation of measures to strengthen discipline across military units.
For its part the military has expressed unequivocal support for General Secretary Xi Jinping's core leadership role within the Central Committee and the Party as a whole, for the Central Committee's authority and centralized and unified leadership, and for the CMC chairperson responsibility system. It is committed to implementing the guidelines for strengthening the Party and its political awareness activities, and enforcing strict discipline across all areas and all steps of its endeavors.
The Party's absolute leadership over the military is to be respected to ensure its absolute loyalty, purity, and reliability. It is critical to keep alive its ethical tradition and promote political ethics, and pursue reform in ideological education, personnel management, organizational structures, and discipline enforcement. It is also critical to ensure cohesion among military personnel by raising political awareness, and build troops with ironclad faith, conviction, discipline, and commitment. To this end, strengthening the Party organizations is a must, so that they are better able to achieve innovative results and mobilize efforts around the Party's objectives. A sound promotion system is indispensable. Promotion standards should include loyalty to the Party, military expertise, leadership capability, performance records, and moral integrity. Ethical rules must be enforced to fight corruption and other irregularities, and eradicate any cells of corruption. Law-based governance will be pursued with a focus on effective implementation of rules and regulations. Strong measures will be taken to correct misconducts such as negligence or dereliction of duty. A fundamental change in military governance is expected.
The CMC convened a conference in August 2018, emphasizing the need to strengthen the Party and its leadership role in the military in the new era. An overall push to strengthen discipline within the Party and the military ensures the creation of a new ecosystem in the military that helps the modernization process and provides firm political and legal assurance for the Party to build a strong military.
