On Friday, Qiushi Journal will publish a new article by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, Chinese president, and chairman of the Central Military Commission. The piece collates his key statements from December 2012 to March 2025 to highlight how the central leadership’s eight-point decision on work conduct is reshaping governance norms.
Since its launch at the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, the eight-point rules have been a cornerstone in tackling internal challenges. By curbing bureaucratic excess, encouraging frugal practices, and promoting a closer bond with citizens, these guidelines have driven measurable improvements in official behavior and social trust.
Grassroots photos, like those from May 2025 in Rugao, Jiangsu Province, show young Party members engaging in anti-corruption workshops in rural communities. Such activities demonstrate the real-world impact of policies that demand leading officials set the example, stay vigilant against new misconduct, and guard against any slackness.
Xi stresses that continuous, strict implementation is vital to prevent a resurgence of past problems. He emphasizes that earning public trust in the new era requires perseverance and unwavering discipline.
For global readers, this piece offers insight into how one of the world’s largest political organizations is institutionalizing ethical leadership at every level. It’s a case study in accountability that resonates beyond borders.
