Key quotes: How Xi tells young officials to have strong faith

Download

Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged young officials to strengthen their ideals and convictions, develop and put into practice a right perspective on their performance, and work hard for the causes of the Party and the people.

Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks on March 1, when addressing the opening ceremony of a training program for young and middle-aged officials at the Party School of the CPC Central Committee (National Academy of Governance).

Here's a quick look at his key quotes of the speech.

It is a lifelong endeavor, rather than an attempt for a while, to consolidate one's ideals and convictions.

The Communists must bear in mind that working for the people's well-being is their greatest political achievement.

Only with the courage and capacity to struggle can we win respect and seize the initiative, and effectively safeguard China's national sovereignty and security, as well as its development interests.

What are concrete services to the satisfaction of the people should be determined by the needs of the people. Whether officials are doing a good job depends on how the people feel and is judged by the people.

In delivering real, substantial benefits to the people, officials should avoid only addressing the immediate concerns of the people and also ensure that no undesired consequences are created.
