About This Quote
The path of politics should be cleared with the sword of the constitution is a quote by Guo Moruo, a prominent leader in the Chinese Communist Party. It means that the party should be treated as an organization that has political power, but may not have control over its members. As a party official, he says, "You mustn't take the party's orders literally. But at the same time you mustn't disregard them."
