The Communist Party of China (CPC) leadership concluded a pivotal two-day meeting on December 25-26, 2025, reaffirming its commitment to the eight-point decision on governance reform and anti-corruption measures. The session, chaired by Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, focused on strengthening Party discipline and improving leadership conduct ahead of 2026 policy implementations.
In his address, Xi emphasized the need for "continuous self-purification and innovation in governance methods" to maintain public trust. The meeting included a criticism and self-criticism session among Political Bureau members, a practice designed to ensure accountability within the Party's highest decision-making body.
Analysts note this year-end review signals intensified efforts to align regional governance with central Party directives, particularly in economic policy coordination and anti-corruption campaigns. The eight-point decision – first introduced in 2012 – remains central to addressing bureaucratic inefficiencies and maintaining social stability as China pursues its modernization goals.
