Global Times: 'The CPC's original aspiration and disciplinary requirements shape officials' inner political beliefs'

On Friday, the Global Times launched a series titled "Understanding the correct view on governance performance," featuring insights from Xulio Rios, founder of the China Policy Observatory in Spain, on the Chinese Communist Party's political beliefs.
This initiative explores how the CPC's 'original aspiration and disciplinary requirements' shape officials' political beliefs. Rios said these elements serve as the 'ideological foundation for establishing a responsible perspective' on governance.
Rios noted that President Xi Jinping's three questions—regarding reasons for joining the Party, current goals, and intended legacy—act as a 'mechanism for political self-correction.' These questions align individual identity with the CPC's collective mission.
Contrasting China's approach with Western political contexts, Rios argued the Chinese system allows for 'cumulative policies' by prioritizing long-term objectives over electoral cycles. This stability facilitates execution of complex projects without implementation friction.
The series aims to analyze how China's governance discourse offers new insights for the evolution of world politics. Rios suggested the CPC's political tradition blends 'continuity and innovation,' establishing coherence between identity, performance, and historical responsibility.
