To govern a country, we must first govern the Party, and only with the Party's rise can we strengthen the country.
From over 4 million party members at the founding of the People's Republic of China to the world's largest Marxist political party, the construction of the Party has been comprehensively strengthened in the magnificent historical process. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has deeply promoted the new great project of Party building in the new era, further enhanced the Party's creativity, cohesion, and combat effectiveness, and led the "China" giant ship to ride the waves and move forward without hesitation.
Ensure that the Party remains the strong leadership core of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, as the backbone of the work
The key to running China's affairs well lies in the Party.
History and reality have proved that without the CPC, there would be no new China and no great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. To govern our world's largest political party well, we must adhere to the comprehensive leadership of the Party, especially the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, adhere to democratic centralism, and ensure that the Party always takes charge of the overall situation and coordinates all parties.
On January 4, 2024, a meeting was held in Zhongnanhai, Beijing for a whole day. General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, listened to the work reports of the Party groups of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the State Council, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the Supreme People's Court, and the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and listened to the work report of the Central Secretariat.
In recent years, the Party Central Committee has listened to the work reports of the "Five Major Teams" and the Central Secretariat every year. This has become an important institutional arrangement for strengthening and maintaining the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has taken a series of major strategic measures, adhered to and strengthened the Party's comprehensive leadership, and achieved significant political, theoretical, institutional, and practical results.
From putting forward the general requirements for Party building in the new era, further emphasizing the adherence to and strengthening of the Party's leadership, to putting the leadership of the CPC, the "most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics", into the Party Constitution and Constitution;
From deepening the reform of the Party and state institutions, focusing on further institutionalizing the position and role of the Party as the highest political leadership force, to strengthening the functional role of the Party Central Committee's decision-making, deliberation, and coordination institutions;
From ideological work to the governance of state-owned enterprises, and then to the construction of leadership systems and mass organizations in universities, the leadership of the Party is integrated into all aspects and processes of various work;
……
In June 2023, the National Organization Work Conference clearly put forward General Secretary Xi Jinping's important thoughts on Party building, and systematically summarized and concentrated them with the "Thirteen Adherences". The top priority is to "adhere to and strengthen the comprehensive leadership of the Party", fully demonstrating the key role and significance of Party leadership.
Amidst the turbulent sea, the pillars of strength are visible, and the majestic peaks of the mountains are visible.
In the new era, the vast number of Party members and cadres have a deeper understanding of the decisive significance of the "two consolidations" and are more determined to uphold the "two safeguards". Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, they have united into a "solid piece of steel" and moved forward in unison.
Quenching, forging, persevering, leading the great social revolution with great self revolution
A strong political party is forged by a strong self revolution.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, we have carried out rectification and reorganization of the Party, strengthened internal education, reorganized grassroots Party organizations, improved the conditions for Party members, opposed bureaucracy, commandism, and corruption and waste. In the new era of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization construction, we have raised the construction of Party conduct, clean governance, and anti-corruption struggle to a height that is related to the survival of the Party and the country. We have promoted the construction of a system for punishing and preventing corruption. In the new era, we have made unprecedented efforts to rectify the Party's conduct, discipline, and fight against corruption, deepened the comprehensive strict governance of the Party, and opened up a new realm of self revolution for the
75 years of continuous struggle is not only a magnificent history of social revolution, but also a history of self revolution that stirs up chaos and clarity.
 
At the former residence of Comrade Mao Zedong in Yangjialing, a photo of Comrade Mao Zedong welcoming Huang Yanpei and his delegation to the airport for inspection caught the attention of the General Secretary.
In 1945, it was in a cave dwelling in Yan'an that Comrade Mao Zedong gave the first answer to Huang Yanpei's question about the "historical cycle rate", which was to "let the people supervise the government".
In the new era, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has given the second answer in the great practice of comprehensively governing the Party strictly, which is self revolution.
Breaking through the eight point regulations of the central government, we will lead the way in improving our work style and continuously rectify the "four undesirable practices" and establish new ones. The results of the social opinion telephone survey conducted by the National Bureau of Statistics at the end of 2023 showed that 95.7% of the respondents affirmed the overall effectiveness of implementing the spirit of the Central Eight point Regulation;
We will use thunderous force to combat corruption and punish evil, and adopt a multi pronged approach of "cracking down on tigers," "swatting flies," and "hunting foxes. In the 10 years after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, more than 4.648 million cases were filed by the national disciplinary inspection and supervision organs, including 553 officials under investigation, more than 25000 officials at the department level, and more than 182000 officials at the county level;
……
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, significant achievements have been made in the construction of a clean and honest government and the fight against corruption, from a stalemate between corruption and anti-corruption, to an overwhelming situation in the fight against corruption, and then to a comprehensive consolidation of the overwhelming victory. This truly achieves the goal of "leaving marks on iron and stone".
Establishing regulations and systems to promote the transformation of the Party's institutional advantages into practical effectiveness in governing the country
On December 27, 2023, the revised "Disciplinary Regulations of the Communist Party of China" were fully released, marking the third revision of this regulation by the Party Central Committee since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
Strictly enforce political discipline and rules, continuously exert efforts throughout the entire chain, cycle, and coverage, motivate and guide party members and cadres to take on responsibilities, and promote the integration of discipline and law enforcement
As a fundamental internal party regulation that regulates the behavior of party organizations and members, the revision of the Party Discipline and Disciplinary Regulations further tightens the "fence" of the system and sends a strong signal that discipline will become stricter as it progresses.
Valuing the strengthening of the Party's institutional construction is a fine tradition and political advantage of our Party, and an important tool for governing the Party.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China 75 years ago, the position of the Party's institutional construction has become more prominent, the Party's internal legal system has been continuously improved, and the ideas of governing the Party through institutions and rules have become clearer, playing an important role in ensuring the comprehensive strengthening of Party building.
From the regulations on disciplinary punishment and accountability, to some norms on intra party political life in the new situation, to the first "Regulations on the Work of the Discipline Inspection Committee of the CPC"... Since the new era, the newly formulated and revised intra party laws and regulations account for more than 70% of the current effective intra party laws and regulations, which has become a period of the most fruitful system, the most sound system, and the strictest system implementation in the history of the Party.
On July 1, 2021, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China that our party has "formed a relatively complete internal legal system".
This significant achievement in the construction of the system deeply reflects the remarkable results of our party's continuous promotion of the establishment of rules and regulations over the past century, especially the comprehensive deepening of the reform of the party's construction system since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
Improve the leadership system of the Communist Party of China, and introduce internal regulations such as the "Several Provisions of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Strengthening and Maintaining the Centralized and Unified Leadership of the Party Central Committee" and the "Regulations on Requesting and Reporting Major Matters of the Communist Party of China", making the comprehensive leadership of the Party more institutionalized and standardized;
Establish a comprehensive and strict governance system for the Party, linking political construction, ideological construction, organizational construction, work style construction, discipline construction, institutional construction, and anti-corruption struggle, and forging a path of anti-corruption with Chinese characteristics;
Improve the supervision system of the Party and the state, organically integrate and promote the "three reforms" of discipline inspection and supervision, comprehensively strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the Party in anti-corruption work, establish the basic system and mechanism of "four beams and eight pillars", and provide strong support for strengthening supervision and restraint of power;
……
75 years of wind and rain, over a hundred years of spring and autumn harvest.
The spark of the past has now become a raging fire. Embarking on a new journey, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, our party will unite and lead billions of people to forge ahead courageously, continuously advancing the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation.
