The standing committee of the CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee held a meeting on Tuesday to study the important speeches made by General Secretary Xi Jinping at a group study session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on the effective implementation of the Civil Code and a symposium attended by experts and scholars. Lou Qinjian, secretary of the CPC Provincial Committee, presided over the meeting.
The important speeches made by General Secretary Xi Jinping at a group study session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on the effective implementation of the Civil Code has emphasized the full recognition of the significance of the promulgation and implementation of the country's newly adopted Civil Code and better protection of the people's legitimate rights and interests in accordance with law, according to a statement released after the meeting.
The whole Party should effectively promote the implementation of the Civil Code in order to better advance law-based governance of the country and the building of a socialist country based on the rule of law, and better protect the people's rights and interests, the statement said.
Government departments should step up the institutional building of laws and regulations related to the Civil Code so that the Civil Code will serve as an important scale plate for administrative decision-making, management and supervision, the statement said.
It is also a matter of urgency and significance to strengthen work in civil trials and supervision and guidance in key areas that involve the protection of property rights, personality rights, intellectual property rights and ecological and environmental protection, said the statement.
In the meantime, Jiangsu will step up its efforts to develop a strong public health system to safeguard people's health by coming to be aware of the importance to people's security as the cornerstone of national security, according to the statement.
It is therefore important to get prepared for worst-case scenarios, stronger awareness of potential dangers and constant efforts to forestall major risks in health care, the statement said.
Greater efforts should be made to develop a strong public health system, improve the early warning and response mechanisms, comprehensively enhance the capacity for prevention, control and treatment, weave a tight prevention and control network, and consolidate the wall of quarantine so as to provide a strong guarantee for safeguarding the people's health, said the statement.
The disease prevention and control system serves as an important guarantee for protecting people's health and public health security as well as maintaining economic and social stability, according to the statement.
More efforts are required to make disease prevention measures more calibrated and effective, calling for greater reform in streamlining systems and mechanisms, clarifying functions and improving professional competence, said the statement.
The participants were also briefed on the progress of the pilot work on the construction of a beautiful and livable city across the province.
It is necessary to deeply study and understand General Secretary Xi Jinping's series of important expositions on the construction of a beautiful China, put the construction of beautiful livable cities against the backdrop of building a beautiful China, and simultaneously promote the transformation of rural housing in northern Jiangsu and the construction of beautiful villages so that beautiful Jiangsu will get the most direct and sensuous presentation, according to the statement.
Noting that Jiangsu is the country’s only pilot province in the construction of beautiful and livable cities, the participants agreed that Jiangsu should strive to adhere to the people-centered development thinking, grasp the stage characteristics of urban and rural development, strengthen systematic planning, focus on solving problems, improve quality and taste, and let the people enjoy more ecological space and convenient life, so that each city has a unique style, temperament and spirit.
The participants also discussed the opinions on the implementation of the intra-Party regulation on political and legal work.
The regulation, as part of the Party's basic laws and regulations, stipulates the Party's leadership over political and legal affairs and translates the Party's long-term successful experience in leading the nation's political and legal work into institutional achievements, according to a statement released after the meeting.
The regulation is also required by upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics as well as modernizing the country's system and capacity for governance, the statement said.
The Party strives to have well-established intra-Party regulations and systems in place before the centenary of the Party's founding in 2021 to advance Party-building in the new era.
The meeting highlighted the Party's leadership over political and legal affairs. That exercise of leadership is an important step that aligns the law-based governance of the country with the regulation-based governance of the Party.
Other issues discussed and reviewed at the meeting include the handling of complaints and tip-offs by discipline inspection and supervision organs, the eco-environmental zoning management and control plan and the Implementation Opinions on High-quality Development of the Software Industry in Jiangsu.
