The Campaign to Educate Party Members About the Mass Line
The CPC made a strategic decision at its 18th National Congress to launch a campaign to educate Party members about the mass line. On May 9, 2013, the CPC Central Committee issued a directive on launching the campaign nationwide, which started in June 2013 and was basically concluded by October 2014. It was mainly about serving the people, being pragmatic and being incorruptible, and took place top-down throughout the entire Party in two phases.
This campaign gave Party members and officials a deeper understanding of the Marxist perspective on working with the people; it made effective inroads against the “Four Malfeasances;” and it revived and encouraged the great traditions of criticism and self-criticism. It refined institutional systems by focusing on changing work practices, led to breakthroughs in critical issues directly affecting the interests of the people, and further strengthened the foundation of the Party’s governance.
黨的群眾路線教育實踐活動
開展黨的群眾路線教育實踐活動是中共十八大作出的一項戰略決策。2013年5月9日中共中央發出《關于在全黨深入開展黨的群眾路線教育實踐活動的意見》。教育實踐活動以為民、務實、清廉為主要內容，在全黨范圍內自上而下分兩批開展，從2013年6月開始，2014年10月基本結束。通過開展這次活動，廣大黨員、干部受到馬克思主義群眾觀點的深刻教育，形式主義、官僚主義、享樂主義和奢靡之風得到有力整治，批評和自我批評的優良傳統得以恢復和發揚，以轉作風改作風為重點的制度體系更加完善，影響群眾切身利益的癥結難點取得突破，黨的執政基礎更加穩固。
