Page 3: There’s a report on Wang Yi’s call with acting Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani. Xinhua reports:
Wang said that “China stands ready to work with the new Iranian government to continue to firmly support each other on issues concerning each other's core interests, steadily advance practical cooperation in various fields, unswervingly promote the sound development of bilateral relations, and constantly add new content to the China-Iran comprehensive strategic partnership … Iran is welcome to actively participate in the events hosted by China as the rotating chair of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and strengthen this new type of international organization, he said. China is willing to strengthen cooperation with Iran within the framework of the BRICS mechanism, further increase the voice and influence of the ‘Global South’, and promote more just and reasonable development of international governance…”
“The two sides also exchanged views on the situation in the Middle East. Bagheri Kani briefed Wang on Iran’s position regarding the assassination of Hamas Politburo Chief Ismail Haniyeh and Iran’s perspectives on the regional situation, stressing that Iran is determined to defend national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, while striving to maintain regional security and stability. Bagheri Kani thanked China for upholding a just stance on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and looked forward to China playing a greater role in easing the situation and promoting security in the Middle East. Wang said that China always upholds fairness and justice in Middle East affairs and supports all parties in safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests, especially supporting Palestine in restoring its legitimate national rights. China firmly opposes and strongly condemns the assassination, believing that it gravely violates the basic norms governing international relations, seriously infringes on Iran's sovereignty, security and dignity, directly undermines the Gaza ceasefire negotiation process, and shocks regional peace and stability, he added. What is pressing now is that the international community should join forces and urge all parties to the conflict to earnestly implement relevant Security Council resolutions, to create conditions for the early realization of a comprehensive and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, Wang noted. China supports Iran in safeguarding its sovereignty, security and national dignity in accordance with the law, supports its efforts to safeguard regional peace and stability, and is willing to maintain close communication with Iran, Wang said.”
Page 6: Today’s long post-third-plenum article is by Li Ganjie, discussing the reform of the Party-building system. Li outlines four points to frame the direction and principles of deepening the reform of the Party building system.
First, take Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the scientific guide. Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is a brilliant example of the ‘two combinations’ and is the fundamental guideline for all our work. 必须以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为科学指引。习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想是坚持“两个结合”的光辉典范，是我们做好一切工作的根本指针.
Second, uphold the Party’s overall leadership as the fundamental principle. “To uphold the Party’s leadership, the first thing is to uphold the authority of the Party Central Committee and its centralised and unified leadership; to uphold the authority of the Party Central Committee and its centralised and unified leadership, the most important thing is to resolutely uphold General Secretary Xi Jinping’s position as the core of the Party Central Committee and the entire Party.” 坚持党的领导，首要的是坚持党中央权威和集中统一领导；维护党中央权威和集中统一领导，最关键的是坚决维护习近平总书记党中央的核心、全党的核心地位.
Third, take improving the Party’s leadership level and long-term governance capabilities as an important goal.
Fourth, mobilise the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the whole Party to grasp reform and promote development
Li then outlines the tasks:
First, establish and improve a long-term mechanism for forging the soul through learning, enhancing wisdom through learning, correcting conduct through learning, and promoting action through learning. The more thorough the theoretical arming, the stronger the ideals and beliefs, the sharper the thoughts, and the more conscious the actions. It is necessary to consolidate and build on the results of the thematic education campaign, highlight the main theme of studying and implementing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and carry out large-scale, systematic, and comprehensive education and training, guide Party members and cadres to deeply study and comprehend the worldview, methodology, and especially the essence of the ‘six musts’ contained therein, and consciously become firm believers and faithful practitioners. 理论武装越彻底，理想信念就越坚定，思想就越敏锐，行动就越自觉。要巩固拓展主题教育成果，突出学习贯彻习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想主题主线，扎实开展大规模、体系化、全覆盖教育培训，引导广大党员、干部深学细悟蕴含其中的世界观、方法论特别是“六个必须坚持”的精髓要义，自觉做坚定信仰者和忠实实践者. He also calls to promote the transformation of learning results into practical actions to promote Chinese-style modernization.
Second, deepen the reform of the cadre and personnel system.
“It is necessary to adhere to the principle of Party control over cadres. Clearly establish the correct orientation for selecting and using people, and vigorously select cadres who are politically steadfast, willing to take responsibility, reform-minded, outstanding in performance, and upright and clean.
It is necessary to focus on solving the problem of disorderly actions. Improve the working mechanism for effectively preventing and correcting deviations in the concept of political achievements. Strengthen the education about the correct concept of political achievements. Improve the performance assessment for promoting high-quality development. Urge and guide leading cadres to understand the people-centred development philosophy, and establish and practise the correct concept of political achievements.
It is necessary to focus on solving the problem of inaction. Study and formulate implementation rules for promoting the promotion and demotion of leading cadres. Further clarify the conditions for demotion, optimize the procedures for demotion, broaden the channels for demotion, and strengthen the responsibilities related to demotion. Strengthen efforts to adjust cadres who are not suitable for current positions, and promote the formation of a good situation in which the capable are promoted, the excellent are rewarded, the mediocre are demoted, and the inferior are eliminated.
It is necessary to focus on solving the problem of cadres not daring to act. Study and formulate implementation measures for the ‘three distinctions’. Correctly view the mistakes and errors of cadres in performing their duties.
