An article in Study Times expressed that young Party officials must be fully aware that the Communist Party is the ruling party. Such awareness will foster loyalty to the Party. “Currently, we face three major challenges. First, we are transitioning from a planned economy to a market economy. Second, the ways in which people express their political opinions have recently undergone changes. Third, technological progress, especially in the development of information technology, has had a profound impact on people’s life styles, behavior, communications, and associations. … Young cadres must remain politically aware at all times, firm their ideals and beliefs, follow the Party with banners held high, and, through their own efforts, fight for the long-term rule of the Party.”
