Three books, including a compilation of excerpts from Xi Jinping's discourses on the Party's self-reform, have been published and distributed across China.

The publication followed the launch of a Party-wide campaign by the Communist Party of China (CPC) to study and implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.

The other two books are a compilation of excerpts focusing on the worldview and methodology of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, as well as a compilation of excerpts from Xi's discourses on research and studies.

The books feature relevant reports, remarks, articles and instructions made by Xi, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012. Some of the content was made public for the first time.
