Officials should be treated fairly and reviewed equally. Those good at currying favor with others and falsifying their work without doing any concrete jobs should be punished, Xi said.

Intra-Party management and rules can never be slackened as CPC is a 85million-member party ruling a country of 1.3 billion, Xi said.

Every official must understand that to hold the post means he must work harder and accept stricter disciplines, he said.

He urged all the Party members and officials to safeguard the authority of the central committee and the solidarity of the whole Party.

At the same meeting, Liu Yunshan, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, called for deepened reform on personnel system in a bid to perfect measures used to nominate, evaluate, select and supervise officials.

Liu also urged increased credibility for selecting and appointing officials so as to form a high quality talent team.

In order to promote the organization work under the new situation, more importance should be attached to fostering and selecting more officials who are capable of meeting the demands of the Party and the people.

Liu noted that a scientific mechanism for officials' selection and appointment is conducive to improving the scientific level of Party building.

Officials should also be educated and guided to consolidate their belief in socialism with Chinese characteristics, according to Liu.

Zhao Leji, head of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, asked organization departments at all levels to take the lead in improving their work styles.

During the meeting, officials also studied and deployed the work for party building and organization in the five years to come.
