CPC to highlight its `ruling capabilities'

By P. S. Suryanarayana

SINGAPORE, SEPT. 10. The ruling Communist Party of China (CPC) is set to turn the spotlight on its own "governance capabilities," with a view to enhancing them. The fourth plenary session of the CPC's Central Committee, scheduled to convene between September 16 and 19, will focus on the party's "ruling capacity."

The party plenum's agenda was outlined by the Political Bureau of the CPC's Central Committee at the conclusion of its preparatory meeting in Beijing on Tuesday. It was indicated, in an official version by the party, that the Political Bureau decided to send a draft resolution on this subject to the fourth plenum of the CPC's 16th Central Committee for its approval.

The Political Bureau's meeting in Beijing was presided over by the CPC General Secretary and China's President, Hu Jintao.

This meeting "heard a report" on the drafting of the "Resolution on the Building of Ruling Capacity of the Party." The discussion centred on "lots of constructive comments and proposals from different localities, departments and circles as well as the delegates of the 16th CPC Congress."

It was pointed out during the Political Bureau's meeting that the CPC must accelerate efforts to fashion its ruling capacity so as to meet the "demands of the new situation" during China's current "crucial stage of reform and development drive."

The new accent on raising the CPC's governance capabilities acquires importance in the context of the recent leadership changes at the helm of the party and the state.
