Leaders of the Communist Party of China have discussed a structural reform plan for the Party and state institutions. The plan has been submitted to the on-going third plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Committee for further deliberation. Tang Bo reports.
TANG BO BEIJING Leaders of the Communist Party of China agreed that the Party and state institutions form an important part of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. They should be reformed to strengthen the Party's leadership, improve state governance and make the system efficient.
According to the Xinhua News Agency, the leaders said the current structure of Party and state institutions was not good enough to meet the requirements of the new era. The Party therefore should resolve to tackle institutional obstacles to give full play to the advantages of China's socialist system. Details of the plan were not yet disclosed.
Experts say next month's annual sessions of China's top legislature and political advisory body in Beijing is expected to lay solid foundations in adopting a series of constitutional amendments and the structural reform plan to improve the Party and the state institutions.
China has typically initiated cabinet structural reforms every five years since the early 1980s. Seven such reforms have made the central government leaner and more efficient.
