The full text of a document which was passed at the Sixth Plenum of the 15th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on September 26, was made public here Sunday, spelling out the principles and tasks of the Party in terms of improving Party style.
The document, the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Strengthening and Improving the Building of the Party Style," consists of 11 parts and contains about 14,000 Chinese characters.
It pointed out that now and in the future, efforts must be centered on the Party's way of thinking, studying, and working and on its leadership and on the lifestyle of cadres. The main tasks will be:
-- to adhere to the principle of emancipating the mind and seeking truth from facts, so as to prevent old ways of doing things and refrain from being contented with things as they are;
-- to uphold the principle of combining theory with practice, and fight against bookishness;
-- to keep in touch with the people, and fight against formalism and bureaucracy;
-- to maintain democratic centralism, and refrain from acting arbitrarily or despotically and prevent laziness;
-- to keep to the Party's disciplinary rules, so as to prevent liberalism;
-- to promote justice and honesty, and to fight against the abuse of power for personal gain;
-- to work hard, and fight against hedonism; and
-- to promote officials according to their ability and merits, so as to prevent unfair and corrupt appointment of officials.
The decision called on Party members to work at implementing the above-mentioned "eight do's and eight don'ts" so that the Party can make definite progress, and the ties between the Party and the people and between the cadres and the people will noticeably improve, creating more public confidence in the Party.
