I. Truly understand the significance of the institutional reform. Deepening the reform of the Party and the State's institutions is a major measure for the implementation of the principles of the 19th CPC National Congress, and a key task for modernizing China's governance system and capacity for governance. All local authorities shall, from the perspective of political and overall situations, fully understand the necessity and significance of the reform of the Party and State institutions; align our thinking with the decision and allocation of the CPC Central Committee on deepening the Party and institutional reform; develop still greater consciousness of the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment ("the Greater Four Consciousness"), and foster stronger confidence in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics; resolutely advocate the authoritative and centralized leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core; and absolutely implement the decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee.
