Party is not above Constitution

By Hu Xingjian | China Daily | Updated: 2014-10-31 07:55

CPC is authorized to lead the nation and strengthen the rule of law, hence there is no contradiction between them

The resolution passed by the Fourth Plenum of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China last week makes it clear that the aim of strengthening the rule of law is to establish socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics in the country, develop a sound system of laws and regulations, build an efficient law enforcement system, and set up a forceful monitoring and supervision mechanism.

While mapping out such an explicit goal, the resolution stressed the principle of adhering to the leadership of the CPC. This has been misinterpreted by some Western media outlets as the failure to resolve the problem of whether the Party or the Constitution is supreme. Such misinterpretation stems from their lack of knowledge about China's real conditions.
