China's Focus on Governance

The resolution at the Fourth Plenum of the Communist Party of China declares that China's reforms and development have reached a critical stage in which new problems are mushrooming in the country. It warns that "the CPC's ruling status is by no means the natural result of the party's founding and will not remain for ever if the party does nothing to safeguard it". It calls upon the party members to have a "stronger sense of crisis" and draw lessons from the experiences of other ruling parties in the world.
