“To run China’s affairs well, the key lies in the Party, and the key lies in exercising full and rigorous Party self-governance.”
“办好中国的事情，关键在党、关键在全面从严治党。”
A Party dedicated to the great cause of the Chinese nation for generations to come and committed to seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation has never stopped taking solid steps to strengthen itself.
一个立志于中华民族千秋伟业，坚持为中国人民谋幸福、为中华民族谋复兴的党，从未停下加强自身建设的坚实步履。
From October 26 to 29, the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee was held in Beijing, focusing on the issue of persistently advancing full and rigorous Party self-governance.
10月26日至29日，党的二十届五中全会在京举行，重点研究持之以恒推进全面从严治党问题。
The plenum heard and discussed the work report delivered by General Secretary Xi Jinping on behalf of the Political Bureau and deliberated and adopted the Decision of the CPC Central Committee on Several Major Issues Concerning Persistently Advancing Full and Rigorous Party Self-Governance. The General Secretary explained the draft Decision to the plenum.
全会听取和讨论了习近平总书记受中央政治局委托所作的工作报告，审议通过了《中共中央关于持之以恒推进全面从严治党若干重大问题的决定》。总书记就《决定（讨论稿）》向全会作了说明。
At the very beginning of his explanation, Xi set out the considerations behind choosing this theme: “This is a major decision made by the CPC Central Committee after assessing the historical position of the Party’s and country’s endeavors, focusing on the overall picture of Chinese modernization, weighing the situation and taking all factors into consideration.”
说明开篇即阐释定下这一主题的考虑，“这是党中央把握党和国家事业发展历史方位、着眼中国式现代化全局，审时度势、通盘考虑作出的重大决策”。
A “programmatic document for advancing the great new project of Party building in the new era” had emerged, carrying immense weight for the new journey of Chinese modernization.
一份“推进新时代党的建设新的伟大工程的纲领性文件”出炉，之于中国式现代化新征程的分量，千钧重。
“The Party and the people have gained the historical initiative in strengthening the Party and the country”
“党和人民赢得强党强国的历史主动”
The 14th Five-Year Plan concluded successfully, and the 15th Five-Year Plan got off to a good start. Since the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, the record in reform, development and stability, domestic and foreign affairs, and national defense has been substantial.
“十四五”圆满收官，“十五五”开局良好。党的二十届四中全会以来，改革发展稳定、内政外交国防，成绩单沉甸甸的。
General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered the work report on behalf of the Political Bureau, containing both theoretical innovation and deeper practical development.
