CPC stresses 'mass-line' legacy

Communist Party of China (CPC) members should continue improving work styles, according to a new document of the "mass-line" campaign.

The "mass-line" campaign began in June last year to strengthen ties between CPC officials and the general public by insisting that officials do the jobs they are paid to, in an appropriate manner. Officials were required to reflect on their own working practices and correct any perceived errors.

Party organizations should reflect on the progress and effect of the campaign and resolve remaining problems, according to a Monday statement by the campaign organizers. Promises to correct bad practices must be met one by one, the statement read.

Backsliders will receive guidance from higher level officials. Wherever undesirable work styles recur or violations of rules are found, leading officials will be held responsible.
