Abstract:

The courage to carry out self-revolution is not only the distinct organizational character of the Communist Party of China (CPC), but also the key to maintaining the vigor and vitality of the Party. The self-revolution of the CPC is influenced and restricted by the typological characteristics of a mission-oriented party, which has inherent stipulation and operational logic. The typification of mission-oriented political parties determines the fundamental motivation and main objects of the CPC's self-revolution and shapes the basic principles and distinctive features of self-revolution. The formation and construction of the motive mechanism of the CPC's self-revolution is not static. Likewise, the political genes and organizational character of self-revolution run the risk of weakening or declining. To cope with this, the Communist Party of China should continuously strengthen the dynamic mechanism of self-revolution by strengthening the pulling force of the party’s mission, strengthening and standardizing the inner-party political life, developing a high-quality people’s democracy, and improving the institutionalization of self-revolution.

Key words: mission-oriented party, self-revolution, basic logic, risks, motive mechanism
