Senior CPC official stresses problem-oriented approach in work conduct education campaign

Senior Communist Party of China (CPC) official Cai Qi has emphasized the need to adhere to a problem-oriented approach and strict standards in the ongoing Party-wide education campaign to implement the Party central leadership's "eight-point decision" on improving work conduct.

Cai, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and a member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, made these remarks during an investigation tour in Tangshan City, north China's Hebei Province on Friday and Saturday.

During the tour, Cai visited townships, villages, sub-districts and communities, while he also spent time at local businesses and primary-level Party organizations.

Integrated efforts comprising study, inspection and correction should be in place during the campaign, Cai said. He also called for targeted guidance tailored to different levels, regions, sectors and industries to ensure both the depth and impact of the campaign.

He stressed that as this education campaign extends to the grassroots level, it must be closely aligned with realities, and primary-level Party members and officials should integrate their efforts with key tasks such as advancing full rural revitalization and strengthening primary-level governance, while further enhancing their sense of responsibility and commitment to action.

For enterprises, the campaign should be closely integrated with production and business operations -- ensuring coordinated advancement on both fronts, Cai said.

Noting the importance of soliciting public opinion in problem-solving, Cai called for resolute and rigorous action in dealing with problems, while stressing that problems must be addressed as they are found, with particular attention paid to tackling the most prominent and pressing issues.

Launched in mid-March this year, the education campaign is scheduled to run through late July 2025.

President of the Republic of Korea (ROK) Lee Jae Myung said on Wednesday that his country and China can build a mutually beneficial relationship amidst competitions.

At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, Lee will pay a state visit to China from Jan 4 to 7. It will be Lee's first visit to China since he took office in June 2025.

In an interview with the China Media Group (CMG) in Seoul, capital of the ROK, on Wednesday, Lee said that the ROK and China both place great importance on the development of high-tech fields, and this inevitably creates competitions between the two countries, but will also presents ample cooperation opportunities for both sides.

"To my knowledge, the Chinese government has made tremendous efforts in high-tech investment, research and development investment, and the talent cultivation in the field of basic research, just as the ROK has done. From this perspective, the ROK and China share similarities in economic growth strategies, which certainly creates competitions between the two countries, but it also presents broad cooperation opportunities for both sides. I believe that if we can explore areas for cooperation amid competitions and enhance our respective strengths through cooperation, we can build a mutually beneficial relationship that not only supports China's sustainable development strategy but also promotes ROK's growth strategy," Lee said.
