The Party shall firmly support the Communist Youth League in conducting its work in a lively, dynamic, and creative manner, in accordance with the characteristics and needs of the broad masses of youth, so as to give full play to the League’s role as a vanguard force and as a bridge connecting with the broad masses of youth.
