Senior officials of the Communist Party of China have recently submitted work reports to the CPC Central Committee and Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, as part of an institutional arrangement to strengthen and uphold the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee.

The senior officials include members of the Political Bureau and the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, and members of the leading Party members groups of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress — China's top legislature — the State Council, and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the nation's top political advisory body.

The secretaries of the leading Party members groups of the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate also submitted their work reports.

The senior officials shared in their annual work reports how they fulfilled their duties on exercising strict Party governance, putting in place the decisions and plans of the CPC Central Committee, performing their duties and ensuring clean governance and self-discipline.

Xi read through the work reports and put forward important requirements.

The members of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, the Party's core leadership, started to submit annual work reports to the CPC Central Committee and Xi after the 19th CPC National Congress in 2017.
