Original title: Blowing the "charge" of self-revolution
On January 8, the general secretary delivered an important speech at the third plenary session of the 20th Commission for Discipline Inspection, emphasizing that we should continue to deepen our understanding of the laws of the party's self-revolution, make the party's self-revolution ideas and measures more rigorous, and focus on the self-revolution on every front and every link. The majority of party members and cadres are the backbone of the development of the party and the country, and they must unswervingly follow the correct direction guided by the general secretary, constantly build a solid foundation of faith, replenish the spiritual calcium, shoulder the historical responsibility, be determined to dedicate themselves to the party, sound the "charge" of self-revolution, and continuously deepen the party's self-revolution in the new era.
The courage to self-revolution is the crystallization of the party's experience in long-term struggle. The centennial journey of the Communist Party of China is not only a magnificent history of social revolution, but also a history of self-revolution that is turbid and clear. What supports our party's development and growth in extreme difficulties, breaking out of the encirclement in the midst of desperate situations, and resolutely rising up in the face of adversity is the majestic force that dares to face problems head-on and has the courage to burst out of self-revolution. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has revised the "Regulations on Disciplinary Actions of the Communist Party of China" three times, and officially issued the "Work Plan of the Anti-corruption Coordination Group (2023-2027)", a series of major deployments, system regulations, and clarified the normative system and ideas and measures of the party's self-revolution on the new journey. Promoting self-revolution is the common responsibility of the whole party. Party members and cadres in the new era must persist in self-revolution without relaxation, which is not only the internal need of individuals to adhere to the people's position and constantly self-purify, but also the inevitable requirement for our party to always maintain its vitality and achieve long-term governance.
**The general secretary pointed out that as the largest party in the world, our party has no external force that can defeat us, and only ourselves can defeat us. The longer it is in power, the more it must not lose its political qualities as a Marxist party and the fighting spirit of self-revolution. The first episode of the recently aired TV feature film "Continuous Efforts and In-depth Advancement" "Solving Unique Problems" tells the vivid practice of our party in the new era and new journey to continuously promote the comprehensive and strict governance of the party, improve the comprehensive and strict governance of the party system, and carry out the party's great self-revolution to the end. "Solving the unique problems of the big party" is an urgent requirement to promote the comprehensive and strict governance of the party in the new era to develop in depth. On the new journey, we must continue to fight corruption and punish evil with the momentum of thunder, take the initiative to attack stubborn diseases, consciously cure diseases and wounds, stir up turbidity and promote purity, constantly improve the combat effectiveness, cohesion and organizational strength of party organizations at all levels, and promote the party to constantly radiate vigorous vitality in the revolutionary forging.
Since the beginning of the new era, we have taken a multi-pronged approach to "fight tigers", "swatting flies" and "hunting foxes", and have made historic achievements in fighting corruption and advocating clean government. Strong anti-corruption and rigid discipline have confirmed that "comprehensively and strictly governing the party is always on the road, and the party's self-revolution is always on the road" is by no means empty words. The majority of party members and cadres must always maintain firm political sobriety, a high degree of action consciousness, always maintain a sense of awe as if walking on thin ice and approaching the abyss, often think about greed and desire, often break the thief in their hearts, build a line of defense, resist, know awe, guard against fear, and keep the bottom line, to ensure that they are not biased, not deviant, and not out of line. At the same time, party organizations at all levels must continue to carry forward the spirit of thorough self-revolution and persist in the strict tone, measures, and atmosphere for a long time.
Only the selfless can be fearless. The self-revolution of party members and cadres in the new era must not be relaxed. Only by being open-minded, regardless of personal gains and losses, cultivating the will of the people, abandoning the idea of self-interest, consistently being a faithful practitioner, defender and promoter of the people's interests, maintaining the fighting posture of "always blowing the trumpet of the charge", with firm political ideals and beliefs and a thorough spirit of self-revolution, we can constantly defeat the "biggest threat" and always prevent the "greatest danger" on the road to the examination, and continue to write a more splendid chapter of Chinese-style modernization.
