Party Development Urgently Needed in New Economic and Social Organizations

Following his visit to the private organizations under the Ministry of United Front and Civil Affairs, Li Yuanchao, Head of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, emphasized the party development work in new economic and new social (“two new”) organizations.

To echo Li’s talk, People’s Daily published a commentary calling for all levels of party organizations to raise the party development work in those "two new" organizations to an important level. It said: “As the Reform and Opening up deepens, the rapid growth of the new economic and social organizations have become an important sustainable driving force of economic development. If there is no party organization in those private entities, our party will lose a fairly sizable political leadership ground and organizational base. Our party’s leadership role in economic development will be weakened, and the party’s self-development will also be impacted.”

Study Times: What Obama Has Told us in the Tires Case

Obama will always put the US interest first, says Study Times about the tariffs on Chinese tires. “When US interests are at stake, he inevitably plays the role of the U.S. President.” “Obama approved the punitive tariffs on Chinese tires in spite of the fact that he appears to be friendlier to China than his predecessor and that he met with Chinese leader Wu Bangguo the day before.” “From this, we can see that only interests are eternal and friendship does not belong to this category.”
