Key word 4 - Intra-Party supervision

Nothing will be out of bounds and no exception will be allowed in intra-Party supervision.

Intra-Party supervision should be carried out in accordance with regulations and by observing the principles of democratic centralism, top-down organizational supervision, democratic supervision from the bottom to the top, and peer review or critique.

The Sixth Plenum of the 18th CPC Central Committee has injected fresh momentum into the country's anti-corruption campaign in the context of intra-Party supervision, said Li Yongzhong, former vice-president of the Chinese Academy of Discipline Inspection and Supervision.

Key word 5- Strict discipline

Strict discipline has always distinguished the CPC from all other political parties. It was strict discipline and its stern implementation that helped the Party lead the revolution in 1949 and achieve rapid economic development over the past more than three decades.

Dai Yanjun, professor with the Party School of the CPC Central Committee, said strict discipline applies to every Party member, and it is "a precise incision" to a comprehensive, strict governance of the Communist Party of China in a new era.

Key word 6 - Intra-Party democracy

Intra-Party democracy is vital to the Communist Party of China (CPC), and is fundamental to a positive, healthy internal political environment.

No Party organization or individual should suppress or undermine intra-Party democracy.

Party authorities at all levels must conduct thorough investigations and research, and solicit opinions from various sides before making any major decisions or arrangements.

Party members have the right to, responsibly expose or report any Party organizations or members breaking the laws or flouting the Party's disciplines, it said.

The communique called on authorities to make it more convenient for Party members to express their opinions and create a "political atmosphere of democratic discussion within the Party".

Xin Ming, professor at the Party School of the Central Committee of the CPC, said every Party member's democratic right should be protected, and as the channels to express opinions of Party members should be broadened, so as to stimulate positive energy.
