Grasp the new requirements of "nine or more".
Wang Xiangping. The general secretary delivered an important speech at the third plenary session of the 20th ** Commission for Discipline Inspection, focusing on the new requirements of the "nine to" that need to be grasped to further promote the party's self-revolution practice, which is a concise summary and theoretical sublimation of the rich practice of our party in promoting self-revolution in the new era, and makes overall planning and strategic deployment for us to persistently promote the party's self-revolution, which not only clarifies the "task of crossing the river", but also solves the problem of "bridge and boat", which reflects the high degree of unity of axiology, epistemology and square. It is a creative expansion and deepening of the important idea of self-revolution, and provides a scientific action guide for continuing to open up a new realm of great self-revolution.
The general idea of carrying out the party's self-revolution at the macro level
With adhering to the centralized and unified leadership as the fundamental guarantee, leading the great social revolution as the fundamental purpose, and taking the socialist thought with Chinese characteristics in the new era as the fundamental follow, these "three to" clarify the political guarantee, mission and guiding ideology of the party's self-revolution, answer the fundamental, directional and overall questions of self-revolution, and are the macro plan for the overall idea of carrying out the party's self-revolution.
Adhere to the first centralized and unified leadership as the fundamental guarantee. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has been able to govern the party strictly in an all-round way with unprecedented courage and determination, and played a set of self-revolutionary "combination punches" to stop some unhealthy tendencies that were considered difficult to stop in the past, and to overcome some common stubborn diseases. Practice has proved that safeguarding the authority of the party and centralized and unified leadership is the highest political principle of our party. In the face of the long-term, complex, acute and severe "four tests" and "four dangers", our party must ensure that it is always competent, and must have the courage to face problems head-on, dare to turn the blade inward, dare to scrape bones to cure poison, dare to break the wrist of a strong man, prevent disasters from causing trouble, and have a long way to go in self-revolution. Difficult tasks require strong leadership. To persistently promote the party's self-revolution, we must uphold the authority of the first and foremost decision, resolutely achieve the "two safeguards", and truly ensure that the whole party is consistent in thought, pace and action.
The fundamental purpose is to lead the great social revolution. Socialism with Chinese characteristics comes from? It was gained in the great social revolution that our party has led the people to carry out for more than 100 years. Since its founding, our party has united and led the people to carry out the new democratic revolution and the socialist revolution successively, and has completed the most extensive and profound social transformation in the history of the Chinese nation. After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, we opened up a new era of reform and opening up, and in this great practice, which is known as "China's second revolution", we opened up the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, so that our country made great strides to catch up with the times. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our Party has led the people to work hard, uphold integrity and innovation, and lead socialism with Chinese characteristics into a new era. Practice has proved that leading the social revolution and creating a happy life for the people is our party's consistent mission and task, and it is also the starting point and end point of our party's courage in self-revolution. Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the only way to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and upholding the party's overall leadership is the only way to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics. On the new journey, we must strengthen our ideals and beliefs, focus on our missions and tasks, unswervingly promote the party's great self-revolution, and unswervingly lead the great social revolution with the great self-revolution.
It is fundamentally followed by the thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Our party is a political party armed with Marxism, and has always regarded seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as its original mission. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have insisted on using the socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era to forge the soul and strengthen the foundation, and through a series of centralized education activities, we have continuously removed impurities, removed viruses, and prevented pollution, tempered the Communists' firm beliefs and beliefs, and kept in mind the original mission, and refined sharp ideas to promote the party's self-revolution. If you want to do something, you must stand with your heart. * He once pointed out: "Mastering ideological education is the central link in uniting the whole party in the great struggle." "In the face of pluralistic, diverse and changeable ideological and cultural consciousness, our party must unremittingly strengthen the ideological and theoretical armament, unswervingly strengthen the party spirit, party style and party discipline education, and constantly guide the majority of party members and cadres to build a solid foundation of faith, replenish the spiritual calcium, stabilize the ideological rudder, always maintain the political nature, ensure the firmness, long-term and scientific nature of the self-revolution, and promote the self-revolution to a new level and open up a new realm.
A complete picture of the task book and roadmap for carrying out the Party's self-revolution
With the strategic goal of jumping out of the historical cycle rate, the main direction of attack to solve the unique problems of the big party, and the effective way to improve the system of comprehensive and strict governance of the party, these "three to" are a creative summary and refinement of the fresh experience of our party in carrying out self-revolution in the new era, and the strategic goal, the main direction of attack, and the effective way are highly unified, which completely depicts the task book and roadmap for carrying out the party's self-revolution, which has far-reaching political significance and practical guidance value.
The strategic goal is to jump out of the historical cycle rate. As early as April 19, 2013, when presiding over the fifth collective study of the 18th Political Bureau, the general secretary vividly described the historical cycle rate of "its rise and prosperity, and its demise". After that, in many speeches, he repeatedly emphasized that jumping out of the historical cycle rate is a strategic issue that requires our in-depth study, and it is also a major topic of the times facing our party. Combined with the historical lessons of the rise and replacement of Chinese and foreign dynasties and the change of political power, combined with the practice of comprehensively and strictly governing the party carried out by our party, after a long period of in-depth thinking, the general secretary solemnly put forward the major thesis of "the second answer" at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the party. From the "first answer" on the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945 to the "second answer" on the occasion of the centenary of the founding of the party in 2021, the same question and answer spanning 76 years of spring and autumn vividly interpret the historical practice of our party in consistently promoting the great project of party building, profoundly reveal the internal law of governing the party and the internal law of the Communist Party's governance. It further puts forward the strategic goal of "jumping out of the historical cycle rate", which not only highlights the huge traction role and special political significance of "jumping out of the historical cycle rate" in the historical process of rejuvenating the party and strengthening the party, but also highlights the sense of responsibility and mission of always maintaining a deep sense of distress, persevering in promoting the party's self-revolution, and striving to make the century-old party continue to glow with vigor and vitality in the self-revolution.
The main direction of attack is to solve the problems unique to the big party. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China profoundly summed up the historic achievements of comprehensively and strictly administering the party in the past ten years, and required the whole party to "always maintain the soberness and firmness to solve the problems unique to the big party", which is a new major proposition put forward by our party to profoundly grasp the fundamental nature of the party and the development and changes of the party's situation. Two months later, at the Second Plenary Session of the 20th ** Commission for Discipline Inspection, the ** General Secretary deeply analyzed the causes, main manifestations and solutions of the unique problems of the big party around the "six hows". Solving these difficult problems is a hurdle that must be crossed to realize the party's mission and tasks in the new era, and it is a hard bone that must be gnawed down to comprehensively and strictly govern the party and adapt to the new situation and new requirements. Courage to face the problem head-on, and level to solve the problem. Emphasizing "solving the unique problems of the big party as the main direction of attack", it vividly interprets the clear problem-oriented orientation of our party to listen to the voice of the times and solve its own problems, demonstrates the sobriety and consciousness of our party to pay attention to self-examination and self-examination in the mirror with other political parties in the world, and effectively expounds the practical purpose, necessity and urgency of promoting the party's self-revolution.
It is an effective way to improve the system of comprehensively and strictly administering the party. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have taken the comprehensive and strict governance of the party as the distinctive theme of party building in the new era, continuously deepened our understanding of the law of self-revolution, continuously promoted the theoretical innovation, practical innovation and institutional innovation of party building, and initially built a comprehensive and strict party governance system, opening up a new realm of self-revolution for the century-old party. The system of comprehensively and strictly administering the party is a dynamic system with rich connotation, complete functions, scientific and standardized, and efficient operation. To improve this system, it is necessary to adhere to the system of governing the party and governing the party according to regulations, give more prominence to the organic connection, linkage and integration, coordination and coordination of all aspects of the party's construction, give more prominence to the sound and improvement of the system and mechanism and the scientific and effective laws and regulations, and give more prominence to the use of the concept of governance, systematic concepts, and dialectical thinking to govern the party and build the party. Small wisdom governs things, and great wisdom governs the system. The system is more fundamental, stable and long-term. The emphasis on "improving the system of comprehensively and strictly governing the party as an effective way" reflects the fundamental path of our party to promote self-revolution and adhere to procedural, standardized and institutionalized, which means that our party has embarked on a systematic, scientific and modern development track in carrying out self-revolution, and has become an example and benchmark for self-management in the history of political parties in the world.
The strategic measures to carry out the Party's self-revolution have become more scientific and rigorous
With forging a strong organization and building a strong team as an important focus, taking discipline and anti-corruption as an important starting point, and combining self-supervision and people's supervision as a strong driving force, these "three to" reveal the logical connection between our party's strategic measures to carry out self-revolution that complement each other and support each other from the three dimensions of focus, grasp and motivation, and demonstrate that our party is more scientific, rigorous and effective in promoting self-revolution in terms of strategy and method.
It is important to forge a strong organization and build a strong team. A tight organizational system is where our party's strength lies. Since the beginning of the new era, our party has focused on improving organizational strength, strengthened political functions, improved the organizational system that connects up and down and implements effectively, establishes a clear orientation for strengthening grassroots construction, and promotes the all-round progress and excellence of party organizations at all levels. The contingent of cadres is the backbone of the cause of the party and the state. Our party proposes and implements the standards for good cadres in the new era, adheres to the correct orientation of selecting and employing people, corrects the atmosphere of selecting and employing people, corrects the reverse elimination of "bad money drives out good money", and highlights the clear orientation of loyalty, cleanliness and responsibility. Adhere to the combination of strict management and benevolence, pay equal attention to incentives and constraints, improve the cadre assessment and evaluation mechanism, and optimize the environment for selecting and employing people. After the revolutionary forging in the new era, we have created a cadre team with excellent ability and quality and the courage to self-revolution. The emphasis on "forging a strong organization and building a strong team as an important focus" reflects our party's new idea of self-revolution of focusing on the organization and strengthening the team, focusing on improving the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the cadre team, and transforming the party's organizational advantages into advantages in governing the country.
It is important to take the right style, discipline and anti-corruption as an important starting point. In the new era, the party will be comprehensively and strictly governed by the implementation of the spirit of the eight regulations, take the lead in setting an example, cultivate a new and healthy atmosphere of seeking truth and pragmatism, honesty and integrity, put discipline and rules in front, grasp the small as soon as possible, prevent the slightest, rectify one problem after another, break through one problem after another, adhere to it year after year, and insist on working the long, strict and practical, deep and detailed, the party style and government style have taken on a new look, and the social style and people's style have continued to improve, reshaping the party's image in the hearts of the people. At the same time, with the mission of "offending thousands of people and living up to 1.4 billion", we have taken on the mission of "dispelling chaos", insisting on no forbidden areas, full coverage, and zero tolerance, insisting on heavy containment, strong pressure, and long-term deterrence, and taking a multi-pronged approach of "fighting tigers", "swatting flies" and "fox hunting", and the anti-corruption struggle has achieved an overwhelming victory and has been consolidated in an all-round way. The emphasis on "taking the upright style, discipline and anti-corruption as an important starting point" demonstrates the strong will of our party to always blow the trumpet of the charge, not to look back, not to relax, not to be compassionate, and to persevere, and to fight a protracted battle against corruption, and to show the clear attitude and political determination to promote self-revolution with the vigor of rolling stones up the mountain and the tenacity and perseverance to climb the slope and overcome the hurdles.
The combination of self-supervision and people's supervision is a powerful driving force. To enhance the party's ability to purify itself, it is fundamentally necessary to strengthen the party's self-supervision and mass supervision. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have improved the supervision system of the Party and the state, taking intra-Party supervision as the leading role, giving full play to the role of the sword of inspection and supervision and the role of dispatching supervision probes, promoting the reform of the discipline inspection and supervision system, promoting the integration and coordination of various supervision, and achieving full coverage of intra-Party supervision and supervision of public employees. At the same time, actively unblock the channels for the people to make suggestions and suggestions and criticize and supervise, let the people supervise power, and give full play to the role of mass supervision and supervision. After the revolutionary forging of the new era, we have built a supervision system with unified leadership, comprehensive coverage, authority and high efficiency of the party. The emphasis on "taking the combination of self-supervision and people's supervision as a powerful driving force" embodies our party's action consciousness of "taking making up for mistakes as the heart and seeking mistakes as the urgency" and actively carrying out supervision and taking the initiative to accept supervision. Through the establishment of a scientific and effective error-proofing and error-correcting mechanism, we will ensure that the party's self-revolution will never slack off and never stop, which demonstrates our party's responsibility and mission to adhere to the real knife and real gun to promote self-revolution.
