(1) separate the responsibilities of the party from government. Party still had the last say, but the government handled the management of the country. * The premier delegated authoriuty over economic policy * the CCP general secretary in charge of ideology education, and party politics.

(2) no lifetime tenure. term limit [2 five-year] and retirement age [68]

(3) regular meetings of party and government bodies. [ccp national congress, 1x every 5 years] [ CCP central committee, 1x usually 2/year]
