The focal point of the new Constitution lies in ecological process as a measure to elaborate on the country’s new direction towards sustainable development over the coming decades.
Additionally, it also emphasizes the significant role of both reform and opening-up policies, which are considered to be the guarantee for China’s future development.
The amended Party Constitution is a continuation of the guidelines that have been established since the founding of the CPC.
