New Party rules hailed

Systematic regulation will tackle problems, senior officials say

Two sets of rules adopted at a key Party meeting - one on the norms of political life within the Party and the other on tightening internal supervision - will help tackle pressing problems in the Party and improve Party governance, senior officials said on Friday.

A communique released after the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee also called for the 88 million Party members to "closely unite around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core".
