Translated paragraph context
Wang Huning said that the spirit of the fifth plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee must be implemented in light of the CPPCC's actual circumstances.

Party consciousness, Party conduct and Party discipline must be addressed together, and efforts to improve conduct, enforce discipline and fight corruption must be integrated. An atmosphere of strictness, upright conduct and a spirit of getting things done must be firmly established and sustained over the long term, providing a strong guarantee for the CPPCC to carry out its work on the “four forms of cohesion.” Preparing for the 21st CPC National Congress and studying, publicizing and implementing its spirit must be made the main theme of the CPPCC National Committee's work in 2027, with next year's work carefully planned around the central tasks of the Party and the country.
