Strengthening Party spirit represents fundamental task in ensuring full, rigorous self-governance: official

Strengthening the Party spirit represents a fundamental task in the efforts of the Communist Party of China (CPC) to ensure full and rigorous Party self-governance, a senior official said Friday.

The 20th CPC Central Committee held its fifth plenary session from Monday to Thursday in Beijing. It adopted the Resolution of the Central Committee of the CPC on Certain Major Issues concerning Persevering with Full and Rigorous Party Self-Governance.

Speaking at a press conference on the guiding principles from the just-concluded plenum, Hu Heping, executive vice minister of the Publicity Department of CPC Central Committee, emphasized on the importance of strengthening the Party spirit of CPC members.

"The strong Party spirit of Chinese Communists provides an important guarantee for the CPC to maintain its advanced nature and integrity, and improve the Party's capacity for leadership and governance. The resolution places ‘strengthening the Party spirit of Communists’ in the first part of the strategic tasks, stating that strengthening the Party spirit is a fundamental task in ensuring full and rigorous Party self-governance, and calling on Party members and officials to make strengthening Party spirit cultivation a lifelong endeavor, work hard to firm up ideals and convictions, forge absolute loyalty to the Party, deepen their commitment to serving the people, adhere to seeking truth from facts, cultivate sound moral character, and maintain integrity and honesty," said Hu.

The China Pavilion made a strong debut at the ongoing MIP Africa 2026, a major film and television industry event on the continent, presenting a rich tapestry of Chinese storytelling to deepen cultural ties and industry collaboration.

Sponsored by China's State Council Information Office and National Radio and Television Administration, the China Pavilion featured an expanded lineup this year.

Sixteen leading Chinese audiovisual organizations -- spanning broadcasting, film and television production, animation, and cultural media -- set up booths at the event opening on Wednesday at the Cape Town International Convention Centre in South Africa.

Exhibitors presented more than 50 Chinese audiovisual titles across genres, including TV dramas, documentaries, variety shows, and animation, alongside advanced technologies. The showcase highlighted China's latest achievements in the screen industry while fostering closer partnerships between Chinese and African media institutions.

Carol Weaving, managing director of RX Africa, the organizer of MIP Africa, praised the ongoing collaboration. She said that the event is dedicated to connecting African stories, talent, and enterprises with the global entertainment industry. Noting China serves as a vital partner in that mission, she expressed enthusiasm for building a long-term, mutually beneficial partnership to bring more exceptional content to global audiences.

Running through Friday under the theme "Africa. Untold. Unstoppable," MIP Africa 2026 drew registrations from more than 100 international media companies and over 1,500 participants, featuring strong participation from across the continent, including South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana.
