Abstract: The Fourth Plenary Session of the Eighteenth CPC Central Committee incorporates the Party's rules and regulations into the socialist rule of law system with Chinese characteristics, and puts forward the topic of "paying attention to linking and coordinating the Party's rules and regulations", which requires people to avoid the fixed mindset of "national law-centeredness" and the traditional Party building theory, be based on the general principle of rule of law and the Chinese political reality, and understand them and their relationship from the perspective of modernization of national governance. Inner-Party regulations are the basis for governing, managing and building the Party as well as the institutional carrier for making the intra-party governance law-based, while national laws are code of conduct with general binding force and are enforced by the coercive force of state, significant differences exist between them, yet both are the unity of the Party's views and the people's will, and also the ground for standardizing the national governance. So we need to follow the principle of putting national laws in a higher position than the regulations of the Party, and ensuring that the Party regulations are stricter than national laws when dealing with their relationship. The linking and coordination of the Party's regulations and the state laws is the realistic requirement for government administration according to the law, so there is the need to solve the problems of any incoordination, incongruence and inconsistency between them.
