People-oriented development

To lead the Chinese people in their pursuit of a better life is an unswerving goal of the Communist Party of China, President Xi Jinping reiterated in a speech at a recent meeting of provincial and ministerial-level officials.

Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC in 2012, Xi has repeatedly stressed a people-oriented development philosophy and made a series of important remarks on how to improve people's livelihoods, while vowing not to let any person be left behind in the efforts to build a well-off society in an all-around way.

Xi insists that the country's reform programs should make people feel a sense of gain and efforts to promote the rule of law should make people feel the justice in every judicial decision. Talking of the Party's campaign to promote stricter self-governance, he says the key aim is to strengthen the Party's bond with the people.
