'Key few' officials play major role in Party campaign

The Communist Party of China Central Committee has highlighted the role of a "key few" officials in advancing the education campaign on strict Party governance. The education campaign requires Party members to study the Party constitution, its code of conduct, as well as the speeches of Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, and become devoted Party members.

The campaign is important for strictly governing the Party and to ensure that its 88 million members maintain a high degree of ideological and political consistency with the central leadership.

The "key few" refer to leading officials at the central, provincial/ministerial and local levels. While the campaign covers every Party organization and member, the CPC focuses and relies on the "key few" to build a clean and principled political ecology.
