Commentator of this magazine.
To govern the country, we must first govern the party, and only when the party is prosperous can the country be strong. Corruption is the greatest cancer that endangers the party's vitality and combat effectiveness, and the fight against corruption is the most thorough self-revolution. After 10 years of unremitting and vigorous anti-corruption in the new era, the anti-corruption struggle has won an overwhelming victory and has been consolidated in an all-round way, but the situation is still grim and complex. The general secretary delivered an important speech at the third plenary session of the 20th Commission for Discipline Inspection, emphasizing that it is necessary to "resolutely win the battle against corruption with tenacity and perseverance that will always be on the road, make precise and continuous efforts, and resolutely win the fight against corruption."
Thought is the precursor to action. To resolutely win the anti-corruption struggle and fight a protracted battle, we must study and understand the important ideas of the general secretary on the party's self-revolution. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the general secretary has led the whole party to promote the comprehensive and strict governance of the party with unprecedented determination, creatively put forward a series of original and iconic new ideas, new ideas and new strategies, formed the important ideas of the general secretary on the party's self-revolution, and guided the century-old party to open up a new realm of self-revolution. This important thought profoundly answers the major question of "why our party should revolutionize itself", and points out the fundamental task of ensuring that the whole party always maintains its original aspiration and assumes its mission; It profoundly answered the major question of "why our party can self-revolution", and strengthened the confidence and determination of the whole party to make good use of the "second answer" and solve the unique problems of the big party; It profoundly answered the major question of "how to promote self-revolution" of our party, and showed the bright prospects for the party to always maintain its vitality and take a new road to catch up with the examination. It is necessary to profoundly understand the essence of this important thought, strengthen ideals and beliefs, strengthen the tempering of party spirit, improve the spiritual realm and moral level, and constantly enhance the powerful driving force for overcoming difficulties and starting a business.
The struggle against corruption is a long-term, complex, and arduous task. We must firmly grasp the general requirements of the anti-corruption struggle in the new journey, persist in promoting the integrated promotion of not daring to be corrupt, not being able to be corrupt, and not wanting to be corrupt, and deepen the treatment of both the symptoms and the root causes, and the systematic treatment. It is necessary to continue to focus on the "seven haves" problem, and take the severe punishment of corruption in collusion between government and business as the top priority of the battle; It is necessary to deepen reforms to stop the breeding and spread of corruption, and strengthen the rapid handling of new types of corruption and hidden corruption; It is necessary to further improve the anti-corruption laws and regulations, and strengthen the supervision and inspection of the implementation of key laws and regulations; It is necessary to intensify the punishment of bribery, and increase the recovery and correction of improper benefits obtained from bribery; It is necessary to persistently purify the political ecology, strictly enforce political discipline and political rules, take the political life within the party seriously, and unremittingly rectify unhealthy trends in the selection and appointment of personnel.
Exerting efforts at the same time, in the same direction, and in an all-round way to eradicate the soil and conditions for the breeding of corruption is the proper meaning of resolutely winning the anti-corruption struggle and fighting a protracted battle. It is necessary to highlight the "two safeguards" and deepen political supervision, and adhere to the principle that major decisions are deployed to the highest level and political supervision is followed up. It is necessary to continue to exert efforts and promote the anti-corruption struggle in depth, deepen the governance of corruption in key areas, concentrate on rectifying corruption in areas where power is concentrated, capital intensive, and resource enrichment, and deepen the punishment of "fly corruption and ant corruption", so as to deepen reform and compress the space for power rent-seeking. It is necessary to unceasingly rectify the "four winds" and establish new winds, and further promote the construction of a clean culture in the new era. It is necessary to carry out discipline education in a down-to-earth manner and strengthen the formulation and implementation of systems. It is necessary to deepen the use of cases to promote reform, construction, and governance, deepen the investigation of political construction, and make great efforts to reverse the trend of vulgarization of political culture.
Comprehensively and strictly administering the party is always on the road, and the party's self-revolution is always on the road. Let us unite more closely around the first comrade as the core, and resolutely win the protracted battle against corruption with tenacity and perseverance that are always on the road, so as to provide a strong guarantee for comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization.
