Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping has called on members and officials of the Communist Party of China (CPC) to stick to the principle of "seeking truth from facts."
Xi, also president of the Party School of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks in Beijing Wednesday at the school's opening ceremony for the second group of learners during the spring semester.
"'Seeking truth from facts' means to research and solve problems from a realistic approach as well as to verify and develop truth through practice. Party members and officials should understand its meaning and use it to guide their work," Xi said.
According to Xi, Party members and officials must have a clear idea of major obstacles for the country's development and stability as well as people's concerns and expectations in order to make wise decisions and ensure the smooth progress of the country's reform and development.
Xi urged them to go deep into the grassroots levels to listen to people's opinions and give priority to their interests and the Party's cause.
