党的领导与依法行政既有内在一致性又有明显区别。按着十六大精神,既要确定党委“总揽全局、协调各方”的地位和作用,又要坚持党政职能分开,政府机关必须依法行政,党必须在宪法和法律的范围内活动。 There are both internal consistency and obvious differences between the party’s leadership and administration by law. According to the spirit of the 16th CPC National Congress, we must not only determine the status and role of the party committees in “taking overall control of the situation and coordinating all parties,” but also insist on the separation of the functions of the party and the government, the government administration by law and the party’s activities within the framework of the Constitution and laws.
