The Lao News Agency joined international media representatives in Beijing on July 23 for a high-level briefing marking the 105th anniversary of the Communist Party of China (CPC), offering journalists an overview of the Party's governance philosophy, modernization strategy and long-term development vision.
Senior CPC scholars Wang Yi, Zheng Huan and Zhang Shiyi outlined key principles guiding China's development, emphasizing people-centered governance, Party discipline, anti-corruption efforts and Chinese modernization.
Wang Yi said the CPC's long-standing "mass line" remains central to governance, with discipline evolving beyond strict rules to include improving public services, streamlining bureaucracy and tackling corruption at the grassroots level. She cited China's poverty eradication campaign, supported by more than 3 million village-based officials, as an example of people-centered development.
Zheng Huan highlighted Xi Jinping Thought on Party Building as the framework for strengthening Party governance and institutional integrity. He noted that the CPC has grown to more than 91 million members supported by over 5 million grassroots Party organizations, while continuing anti-corruption reforms and promoting high-quality economic development.
Zhang Shiyi described Chinese modernization as a development model that advances industrialization, urbanization, digital transformation and agricultural modernization simultaneously, rather than sequentially. He said the country's 15th Five-Year Plan focuses on innovation, green development, technological advancement and high-quality growth, while supporting global initiatives on development, security and civilization.
The briefing underscored China's efforts to deepen international understanding of the CPC and its approach to governance as the country advances toward its long-term modernization goals.
