Around 400 top members of the powerful Communist Party of China (CPC) have started a four-day private meeting on Monday to discuss how the world's largest political party can be better managed.

Analysts said the meeting, which is being held at the exclusive Jingxi Hotel, will include talks on drastic reforms on how the party should be governed and a review Chinese President Xi Jinping's anti-corruption campaign.

According to Xinhua, the meeting will focus on resolving issues on "party discipline" and would tackle the downfall of several powerful and high-ranking party leaders such as former security czar Zhou Yongkang who has been jailed on charges of corruption.

Sixth Plenum

Dubbed the Sixth Plenum, the meeting comes following a series of corruption scandals that have rocked China's Communist Party.

To date, more than a million communist party members have been punished for graft and corruption.

Analysts claim that since assuming the highest position in the party in 2012, General Secretary Xi Jinping has managed to bend the party to his will and has wielded more power than any leader since Mao Zedong.

In his efforts to propel China to reach its goal of the "Great Rejuvenation," Xi has reportedly branded the party as a "magic weapon" to introduce reforms necessary to realize his ''Chinese Dream."

Long and difficult time

Political observers say it would be difficult for Xi to realize his dream of a great China if party members do not cooperate in pushing for reforms.

Already, attempts to rein in unresponsive state-owned companies have been met with major resistance from party members who have vested interests in these business enterprises.

Analysts say that these state-owned enterprises which control sectors of the economy have been made milking cows of alleged party members.

"These reforms have really gone nowhere over the last three years," said Anthony Saich, an expert on Chinese politics at Harvard University.

Saich said that Xi does not trust society or the government to push the necessary reforms that he wants to be implemented saying it is only the communist party that can push the reforms.
