Xi calls for Political Bureau members to broaden minds

Members of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee have been urged to have broad minds and lose any selfish considerations.

Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, also asked the members to set benefiting the Chinese people as their unique goal and dedicate themselves to the Party and the people's interest.

Xi made the comments in a meeting held from Saturday to Tuesday, on implementing the "eight-point" rule to fight bureaucratism and formalism.

Members of the 25-people Political Bureau should act as models for others in forging correct concepts of power, status and interests, stick to self-respect, self-introspection, self-vigilance and self-motivation, abide by the Party's disciplines and the country's laws, and strictly follow systems and procedures, Xi added.
