16:13⇢The Strengthening of Party Conduct
⌨The dominant theme in China's state media continues to be President Xi Jinping's emphasis on comprehensive and rigorous Party self-governance. Multiple outlets highlight recent Politburo meetings focused on formalizing internal work regulations, rectifying conduct through the eight-point frugality rules, and addressing "four forms" (Beijing Daily, China Daily, China Daily (Chinese), China Military Online (English), People's Daily (Chinese), CCTV, China Economic Net, Guangming Daily, Huanqiu, People's Daily (English), Xinhua News, Xinhua News (Chinese)). This reinforces an ongoing campaign to strengthen Party discipline and internal operations, coinciding with the Party's 104th anniversary and its reported membership exceeding 100 million (Global Times, CCTV English).
