In a forward-looking move, Chinese President Xi Jinping has emphasized the critical role of social work in shaping the new era of China's development.
At a central conference held in Beijing last week, Xi, who also serves as the general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, outlined a roadmap for the high-quality development of social work under socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Xi stressed that robust social work is essential for the Party's long-term governance, ensuring the country's peace and stability, fostering social harmony, and enhancing the well-being of the people. As China's social structure evolves rapidly with the growth of emerging sectors, Xi called for innovative approaches to meet the new challenges.
The conference highlighted the importance of strengthening Party building within new economic and social organizations and among diverse groups in modern employment forms. Enhancing the Party's influence and cohesion in these emerging fields was a key point in Xi's instructions.
Party leader Cai Qi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, echoed Xi's directives and emphasized prioritizing Party building in emerging sectors. Cai urged all levels of Party committees to lead social work efforts, advocating for reform and innovation to promote high-quality development.
These initiatives aim to adapt social governance to the dynamic landscape of modern China, ensuring that social work contributes effectively to the nation's ongoing progress and stability.
