Xi leads top leadership, meeting press (4)

"We have taken on this important responsibility for the Party. Our Party is dedicated to serving the people. It has led the people in making world-renowned achievements, and we have every reason to take pride in these achievements," Xi said.

"But we are not complacent, and we will never rest on our laurels. Under the new conditions, our Party faces many severe challenges, and there are also many pressing problems within the Party that need to be resolved, particularly corruption, being divorced from the people, going through formalities and bureaucratism caused by some Party officials," Xi said.

"We must make every effort to solve these problems. The whole Party must stay on full alert," Xi said.

"To address these problems, we must first of all conduct ourselves honorably. Our responsibility is to work with all the comrades in the Party to uphold the principle that the Party should supervise its own conduct and run itself with strict discipline, effectively solve major problems in the Party, improve our conduct, and maintain close ties with the people," he said.

"By doing so, we will ensure that our Party will remain at the core of leadership in advancing the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics," Xi said.8 "It is the people who have created history, and it is the people who are true heroes. The people are the source of our strength," Xi said.

"We are well aware that the capability of one individual is limited. But when we are united as one, we will create an awesome power and we can certainly overcome all difficulties," Xi said.

"One can only work for a limited period of time, but there is no limit to serving the people with dedication. Our responsibility is weightier than Mount Tai, and our road ahead is a long one," he said.

"We must always be of the same mind with the people and share the same destiny with them, and we must work together with them and diligently for the public good so as to live up to the expectations of both history and the people," Xi said.

"Just as China needs to learn more about the world, so does the world need to learn more about China," Xi said, hoping that the press continue efforts to deepen mutual understanding between China and the world.
