CONSOLIDATING PARTY'S LEADERSHIP
Through the reform, the systems to ensure the Party's overall leadership and the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee have been further consolidated.
The central leading groups for deepening overall reform, cyberspace affairs, financial and economic affairs, and foreign affairs were upgraded into central committees while two new central committees, for comprehensive law-based governance and auditing, were formed. The arrangements have enhanced the Party's leadership over major works and its ability of decision-making and coordination.
The reform also reinforced the Party's absolute leadership over the military through the restructuring of the armed police.
