Members of the Communist Party of China must observe the superior line of core values and never cross the bottom line of party discipline, China's TOP discipline inspector1 Wang Qishan said on September 9.

9月9日,中纪委书记王岐山表示,中共党员应坚持核心价值观这条高线,绝不突破党的纪律这条底线。

王岐山指出,高线(superior line)就是核心价值观(core values of ideals)、为人民服务的信念和宗旨(faith and tenets to serve the people)。党的纪律和规矩(Party discipline and regulations)就是要时刻挺在前沿、记在心里的底线(bottom line)。

坚持高线(adhere to the superior line)、绝不允许突破底线(never be allowed to cross the bottom line),这是对全方位从严治党(comprehensively strengthen Party discipline)需要的最新表述,体现了党在达成自我健全、自我净化、自我改革和自我提升的道路上的探索和努力,向人民兑现承诺的决心和担当。
