As socialism with Chinese characteristics enters a new era, the CPC needs to build a new image and adopt a new approach. The report to the 19th CPC National Congress laid out general guidelines for Party building for a new era, calling for:

? upholding and strengthening the Party’s leadership role, and ensuring effective governance within the Party and effective enforcement of Party discipline;

? strengthening the Party’s long-term governance capacity, and preserving its forward-looking vision and its purity;

? raising political awareness, and reaffirming the Party’s ideals, convictions, and purpose;

? tapping into the enthusiasm and innovative potential among the Party’s rank and file;

? pursuing an integrated approach to raising political awareness, strengthening the Party’s theoretical basis, improving its organizational structures, promoting ethical standards, enforcing discipline, and enhancing institution building; and

? combating corruption as part of the effort to improve Party building, so as to build a Marxist governing party with a vibrant organizational culture, a party that is always ready to answer the call of the times, enjoys the support of the people, has the courage to reform itself, and is able to withstand all tests.
