The Central Committee convened in a closed‑door session from Monday to Thursday, producing a draft on full and rigorous party self‑governance. Xinhua reported the document addresses the party's growing governing capacity and the need to guard against complacency.
Xi's signature anti‑corruption drive, launched in 2012, has removed thousands of officials; the draft aims to extend that vigilance. Xinhua said the measures would tighten discipline across all levels.
Political analyst Rahul Sharma warned that the meeting could be the last significant gathering before the 2027 leadership reshuffle, which is expected to confirm Xi's fourth term. The draft is slated for approval by the committee on Thursday, after which the party will convene a congress in March 2027 to elect the leadership.
A senior cadre from Guangdong, who attended the session, said the new rules will affect local governance and the selection of officials, illustrating how the party's tightening measures ripple down the hierarchy.
