The Military Political Work Conference in Gutian
From October 30 to November 2, 2014, a Military Political Work Conference was held in Gutian, a historically significant town in east China’s Fujian Province, attended by Xi Jinping and senior military leaders. The conference emphasized the importance of political ethics, and discussed measures the Party should take to raise political awareness in the military in the new era, keep alive the great tradition of political work, and mobilize all military personnel to join the Party’s effort to strengthen the military in response to new realities.
Addressing the conference, Xi Jinping highlighted the contemporary relevance of political work, since it provides strong support for the Party’s goal of building a strong military as part of the effort to realize the Chinese Dream of national renewal. He emphasized the need to bolster confidence in the Party’s ideals, demonstrate commitment to Party principles, improve combat capabilities, and strengthen the authority of military political work. He also outlined measures to cement political loyalty of the military, strengthen the accountability of mid-level and senior officers, improve ethics, combat corruption, promote morale and fighting spirit, and update political work in a creative way.
A decision on strengthening political work in the military under new conditions was adopted at the conference and distributed Party-wide by the Central Committee. The conference provides a strategic framework for the CPC’s political awareness initiatives to boost efforts to build a strong country and a strong military, and opens a new chapter in invigorating and breathing fresh life into the ethical traditions of the people’s armed forces.
