The plenary session deeply summarized the Party's history and the new experiences of governing the Party and running it strictly in the new period, making the regularization of intra-Party political life a fundamental basic task of comprehensive and strict governance of the Party and a major task for the entire Party, providing important guidance for strengthening and standardizing intra-Party political life under the new situation. Second, from the dimension of the Party's cause, currently, our Party is comprehensively advancing the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, a task of great difficulty and enormous challenges.

For our Party to withstand the risks of governance, withstand the "Four Tests," and overcome the "Four Dangers," it must formulate a set of norms for intra-Party political life under the new situation.
