BEIJING, July 1 -- The Communist Party of China's (CPC) power comes from the public, so "their enthusiasm, initiative and creativity must be brought into full play," Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, said on Friday.
The CPC stands with the people, which is a fundamental political stand of the CPC and a salient feature distinguishing Marxist political parties from other political parties, Xi told a rally in Beijing marking the CPC's 95th founding anniversary.
The Party should value the people, serve them and safeguard their interests in order to "maintain the sustaining power source," he said.
The general secretary stressed the need to improve people's livelihoods and win the fight against poverty, calling for making more fruits of reform and development fairly benefit everyone.
Xi also said the party will attract more people, including talent from abroad and from outside the Party, to participate in the cause of the Party and the people.
