To build a contingent of highly competent rule of law professionals, we need to give top priority to strengthening their political integrity; improve the competence of those who work for the legislation, administrative enforcement of law, and the judiciary; open channels for the legislature, the law enforcement authorities, and the judiciary to transfer their officials and personnel among themselves, and to give a place to eligible officials and personnel from other sectors; increase the levels of standardization, specialization, and professionalism among rule of law professionals; improve the system for certifying legal professionals; establish a system for recruiting eligible lawyers and legal experts into the ranks of legislators, judges, and public procurators; build a more standardized and convenient mechanism for recruiting university graduates majoring in law; and improve the system of job security for rule of law professionals.

We need to raise the level of competence of legal service providers, prompt lawyers to become more self-motivated and resolute in following the path of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics, and build a well-mixed contingent of private, government, and corporate lawyers who complement each other’s strengths.

We need to make innovations in the mechanisms for training rule of law professionals; form complete theoretical and disciplinary systems, as well as curriculums for socialist legal studies with Chinese characteristics; and incorporate the theory of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics into our textbooks, bringing it into our classrooms, and drumming it into our students, thereby cultivating cohorts of talented professionals for today and for the future, who are proficient in and adhere to the system of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics.

It was highlighted at the session that the leadership of the Party provides the most fundamental guarantee for comprehensively advancing the law-based governance of China and accelerating the development of a socialist rule of law country. We must strengthen and improve the leadership of the Party over work pertaining to the rule of law, and put the Party’s leadership into effect throughout the whole process of comprehensively advancing the law-based governance of the country. In adhering to the law-based exercise of state power, officials at all levels should set an example in observing the law and working in accordance with the law, and must not behave in a way that is contrary to the law in exercising power. It is even more imperative that they do not override the law by fiat, place their power above the authority of the law, or bend the law for personal gain.

We need to strengthen institutions and work mechanisms for the law-based governance of China under the leadership of the Party; improve work mechanisms and procedures to ensure that the Party formulates principles, policies, and plans for the law-based governance of the country; strengthen unified leadership, unified planning, and overall coordination for comprehensively advancing the law-based governance of the country; and improve the mechanism by which Party committees make decisions in accordance with the law. Party organizations within the people’s congresses, governments, committees of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, judicial bodies, and procuratorial bodies at all levels need to exercise leadership and oversight of their respective organizations to ensure that they play an exemplary role in obeying the Constitution and laws, and to resolutely investigate and punish those who break the law while they should be enforcing it and those who use their power in a way contrary to the law.

We need to strengthen Party rules and regulations, improve the systems and mechanisms for their formulation, and create a complete system of Party rules and regulations. We need to use these rules and regulations to fully implement the principle of the Party supervising its own conduct and practicing strict self-governance, and encourage Party members and officials to take the lead in abiding by state laws and regulations.

We need to make Party members and officials better able to think in terms of the rule of law and to carry out their work in accordance with the law, incorporate progress made in building rule of law into the appraisal system as an important measure of the performance of leading bodies and leading officials at all levels, and make legal compliance and acting in accordance with the law an important component of the assessment of officials.

We need to increase the level of rule of law in community-level governance, make use of the principal role of Party organizations at the community level in comprehensively advancing the law-based governance of the country, and establish law-based work mechanisms with the focus of the work and main efforts shifted closer to the community.

We need to intensify our efforts to practice law-based, strict governance of the armed forces, build a sound law-based military system with Chinese characteristics, and increase the level of rule of law in the development of national defense and the armed forces in order to achieve the Party’s goal of strengthening the military under the new conditions.

We must, in accordance with the law, safeguard the practice of “one country, two systems,” promote the reunification of our country, ensure that Hong Kong and Macao enjoy lasting prosperity and stability, push forward with the peaceful reunification of our country, and protect the rights and interests of our fellow countrymen and countrywomen in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan.

We need to improve our work concerning foreign-related laws, use legal means to safeguard our country’s sovereignty, security, and development interests, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens and legal persons overseas and foreign citizens and legal persons in China.
