On a global scale, ruling parties of different types face many similar issues, among which the issue of political legitimacy is particularly prominent. During the period of social transformation, ruling parties to varying degrees face the issue of legitimacy crisis, and the Communist Party of China is no exception.

This book discusses major theoretical issues such as the nature of parties, the endogenous ethics of parties, the characteristics of ruling party ethics, the rational foundation of ruling party ethics, and the ethical requirements of governance capacity. At the same time, as a case study, it carefully summarizes the experience and lessons of the ethical and moral construction of the Communist Party of China and proposes valuable insights on how to enhance the political legitimacy and governance capacity of the Communist Party of China by strengthening the ethical construction of ruling parties.
