|
Chinese President Xi Jinping chaired a Politburo meeting on February 25. The meeting
discussed the draft of the "Government Work Report" that the State Council plans to submit to
the Fifth Session of the Thirteenth National People's Congress for deliberation, the
"Comprehensive Report on the Eighth Round of Central Inspections" and "Report on the Key
Work of the Central Inspection Leading Group in 2021". The Xinhua report (February 25) on
the meeting said it had stated that "It is necessary to strengthen the atmosphere of
comprehensive and strict governance of the party, implement the "two responsibilities",
strengthen the supervision of the "top leader" and the leading group, and carry out special
rectifications for typical common problems such as violations of the spirit of the eight central
regulations and the "revolving door" of politics and business". A Politburo 'Study session' will
be held on February 26.
(Comment: The last Politburo study session was held on January 24. It is interesting that the
Xinhua report called for strengthening "the supervision of the "top leader" and the leading
group".)
