The general secretary called for stronger political supervision to guide all members to fully understand the policies and plans set out by the CPC Central Committee and ensure their full implementation.
There must be neither compromise nor superficial statements, he said, adding that officials must avoid playing petty tricks to serve their immediate interests.
He underscored that formalism and bureaucratism are the major enemy of the cause of the Party and State, saying that officials must strengthen their systematic thinking and scientific planning and strive for more endeavors that benefit the people.
Xi required efforts to target prominent problems in education, healthcare, eldercare, the pension system, ecology, environmental protection, work safety and food and drug safety-sectors about which the public has made the most complaints.
He called for heightened measures in the education, management and oversight of young officials, saying that they must be guided to stay loyal and faithful to the Party, use their power in the right manner and strictly obey Party discipline and laws.
