The Party's Institutional Development
Institutional development is a long-term, all-encompassing endeavor of vital importance that provides stability and continuance.
Encompassing development of rules and regulations that guide the Party’s exercise of leadership, as well as intra-Party activities, it is an important aspect of Party development, and vital to other Party development activities. It provides an institutional framework with a complete set of norms and directives to guide all programs and initiatives.
The report to the 19th CPC National Congress reiterated the imperative to enhance institutional development, reflecting the Party’s deeper understanding of its vital importance and the need to incorporate it in all Party building activities. Enforcing strict Party discipline requires developing rules and regulations, and confining the exercise of power within an institutional cage. All organs, activities and officials are subject to institutional oversight and constraints without exception.
Institutional development must focus on developing an intra-Party framework of rules and regulations on the basis the Party Constitution and the principles of democratic centralism, with the aim of tightening institutional constraints. Educational outreach must be expanded to raise the awareness of the importance of institutional oversight and constraints, and to help strengthen the theoretical basis for institutional development. Accountability enforcement must be enhanced, and the principle of equality before the rules and regulations in effect must be applied to all with no exception. Clear lines that can never be crossed will be established to ensure the effectiveness of accountability enforcement.
党的制度建设
制度建设是具有根本性、全局性、稳定性和长期性的重大问题。党的制度建设是指党在长期领导工作和党内生活中形成党的组织和党的成员必须共同遵守的党内法规、条例、规则等党内制度，其既是党的建设的一个重要方面，也是党的各项基础建设的关键环节。党的制度建设通过对各项工作制度化、规范化，形成党的一系列规章制度，从而为党的其他方面的建设提供基本遵循和制度保障。中共十九大报告强调把制度建设贯穿党的各项建设之中，表明党深化了对制度建设的规律性认识，更加注重凸显制度建设的重要地位和作用。推进全面从严治党，必须坚持制度治党、依规治党，把权力关进制度的笼子，用制度管权、管事、管人。加强党的制度建设，必须建立健全以党章为根本、民主集中制为核心的党内法规制度体系，扎紧制度笼子；必须强化制度宣传教育，增强全党制度意识，筑牢制度治党的思想基础；必须严格执行制度，坚持制度面前人人平等、制度执行没有例外，增强党内法规制度执行力，使制度成为“硬杠杠”“高压线”。
