Xi Jinping presided over a CCP Politburo meeting on June 29, which discussed two new regulations. The first, titled “CCP Military Party Building Regulations” (中国共产党军队党的建设条例), is intended to “carry out the Central Military Commission Chairman responsibility system (军委主席负责制) and ensure the Party’s absolute leadership over the military” as well as maintain the goals and missions of the military. According to the meeting, the regulation was designed to “promote the transformation of the Party’s political and organizational superiority into winning advantages.”  The second regulation, the “CCP Grassroots Organization Election Work Regulation” (中国共产党基层组织选举工作条例), is designed to develop the Party’s “internal democratic elections” and “strengthen the organizational power” of those at the grassroots level within Chinese politics. The regulation is reportedly designed to improve the quality of elections and guarantee the rights of Party members. The Politburo emphasized that it wanted to “reasonably delegate representatives, optimize the representative structure, and ensure the proportion of front-line representation of production and work” and prioritize maintaining the integrity of its members.
