Chinese President Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, led a critical Political Bureau meeting on December 25 to outline the Party’s 2026 agenda for enhancing governance and combating corruption. The session emphasized strengthening Party conduct and institutional integrity as core priorities for the coming year.
Officials confirmed that the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection will convene its annual plenary session from January 12 to 14, 2026, to formalize implementation strategies. The meeting underscored Xi’s recurring emphasis on “self-reform” as essential to maintaining public trust and advancing socialist modernization.
Analysts note this planning aligns with broader efforts to stabilize economic development and attract overseas investment by reinforcing regulatory transparency. The outcomes are expected to influence policy frameworks across Asia, particularly in cross-strait governance models and regional anti-corruption collaborations.
