BEIJING - The endeavors that the Communist Party of China (CPC) has made in the 91 years since it was founded and the Party's implementation of scientific development since the 16th CPC National Congress represent efforts that were made for the sake of the people.

In a time of profound change in China, the CPC's remarkable achievements have upgraded the nation's overall strength, as well as increased people's living standards.

History indicates that China will witness more development and enjoy prosperous times as long as it remains under the leadership of the CPC.

Tasks related to the strengthening of Party construction have become more urgent more than 30 years after the introduction of reform and opening-up policies, as administrative conditions and the structure of the Party have changed significantly since then.

Hu Jintao, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, said in a speech delivered on July 23 that the CPC should have a sense of urgency and responsibility in tightening supervision and discipline, as well as strengthening Party construction.

In order to live up to new expectations and enhance trust between the Party and the people, the CPC must promote Party-building and constantly advance itself through new achievements.

To enhance trust, CPC organizations should strengthen Party-building ideologically by consolidating Party members' faith in the CPC and its cause. The working style of CPC organizations and members should be enhanced and more efforts should be made to take care of those in need.

Reforms regarding the selection of officials should be deepened to strengthen CPC organizations, with promotions given to officials who have proven to be capable and trustworthy.

Intra-Party democracy should be actively developed to improve the Party institutionally. Additionally, unswerving efforts should be made to combat corruption and ensure clean governance.

Strengthening Party-building in a constant way will help the CPC mature and enable it to lead China toward new achievements.
