Leading cadres in the new era must take a clear-cut stand and stress politics (thoroughly study and implement Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era)
The political construction of the party is the fundamental construction of the party and determines the direction and effect of the party’s construction. It is the fundamental requirement of our party as a Marxist political party to take a clear-cut stand and talk about politics. Comrade Supreme Leader emphasized that Marxist political parties have lofty political ideals, noble political pursuits, pure political quality and strict political discipline. Practice has fully proved that stressing politics is the fundamental way for our party to cultivate self-revolutionary courage, enhance its self-purification ability and improve its political immunity, and it is also an important guarantee for our party to continue to develop and grow from victory to victory. Leading cadres are the backbone of the cause of the party and the state. Grasping the "key minority" of leading cadres will grasp the key of the whole party’s clear-cut stand on politics. Leading cadres in the new era have a clear-cut stand and talk about politics, which is of great significance to unite and lead the people of the whole country to win the Chinese dream of building a well-off society in an all-round way, winning the great victory of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Leading cadres have a clear-cut stand and talk about the connotation of politics in the times
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, with extraordinary theoretical courage, superb political wisdom and strong mission, the supreme leader comrades have systematically answered major issues such as why leading cadres should talk about politics, what kind of politics and how to talk about politics in the new era from a strategic and overall perspective, and creatively put forward a series of new ideas, new viewpoints and new conclusions, which have provided fundamental follow-up for the whole party, especially leading cadres.
Put the quasi-political direction. Political direction is the first issue for the survival and development of the party, which is related to the future and destiny of the party and the success or failure of its cause. The political direction we should stick to is the great ideal of communism and the common ideal of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and the goal of "two hundred years", which is the basic theory, line and general plan of the Party. Leading cadres should not forget their initial intentions, keep their mission in mind, strengthen their ideals and beliefs, and strengthen the "four self-confidences". They should concentrate the wisdom and strength of the whole party on upholding and developing the great cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and implement it in the practice of planning major strategies, formulating major policies, deploying major tasks, and promoting major work, so as to ensure that all undertakings of the party and the state always develop in the correct political direction.
Adhere to political leadership. The most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership, the greatest advantage of Socialism with Chinese characteristics system is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership, and the Party is the highest political leadership. Leading cadres must firmly establish political consciousness, overall situation consciousness, core consciousness and conformity consciousness, resolutely safeguard the core position of the supreme leader comrade, resolutely safeguard the authority of the CPC Central Committee and centralize and unify leadership, and consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee in ideological and political actions.
Stand firm politically. Popular support is the greatest politics, and people’s position is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s fundamental political position. Leading cadres should keep in mind the initial intention and mission of seeking happiness for the people of China and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, always put the people in the highest position in their hearts, adhere to the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, adhere to the people-centered development thinking, and take people’s support or disapproval, approval or disapproval, happiness or unhappiness, and consent or disapproval as the fundamental criteria for measuring the gains and losses of all work; Adhere to the party’s mass line, focus on solving the most concerned, direct and realistic interests of the people, and always maintain the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people.
Strictly observe political discipline. Political discipline is a rigid constraint that the whole party must abide by in political direction, political position, political speech and political behavior. The core for leading cadres to abide by political discipline is to uphold the leadership of the Party, maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee, consciously safeguard the authority of the Party Central Committee, know how to respect, guard against fear, keep the bottom line, achieve the "five musts", prevent the "seven musts", and consciously be politically savvy.
Strengthen political experience. Political life within the party is a "melting pot" for tempering party spirit and improving ideological consciousness. Leading cadres should conscientiously study and implement the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, respect party constitution, strictly implement certain norms of inner-party political life under the new situation, seriously participate in inner-party political life, strictly implement democratic centralism, seriously carry out criticism and self-criticism, constantly temper party spirit in the fiery practice of reform and development, be honest with Ming Dow, guard against procrastination, be virtuous, observe public morality and be strict with private morality, and be a model of honesty, self-discipline, honest use of power and integrity.
Improve political ability. Political ability is the ability to grasp the direction, the general trend and the overall situation, that is, the ability to distinguish political right from wrong, maintain political strength, control the political situation and guard against political risks. Leading cadres should be good at analyzing and solving problems politically, strengthen their political acumen and political discrimination, be bright-eyed, see things early, act quickly, dare to show their swords and fight, and eliminate all kinds of political hidden dangers in time. We should consciously put politics into the whole process of party spirit training, strive to achieve excellent faith, politics, responsibility, ability and style, match our political ability with our leadership responsibilities, and fulfill the duties and missions entrusted by the party and the people.
Strengthen political responsibility. Whether the requirements of stressing politics can be implemented in the party’s leadership, party building, party and state work is an important yardstick to test and measure whether leading cadres are loyal to the party and have political responsibility. Leading cadres should take loyalty to the party, share their worries for the party, do their duty for the party and benefit the people as their fundamental political responsibilities, and seek their politics, do their things and seek their results with the revolutionary spirit and tolerance of waiting for time and seizing every minute, so as to be the strength of the times and the real gold.
To sum up, the politics we are talking about is Marxist politics, politics based on lofty ideals and lofty goals, politics that strives to realize the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people, and politics that advocates that the people are masters of their own affairs and all the people enjoy the rights conferred by the Constitution and laws. In the new era, the core requirement for leading cadres to talk about politics is absolute loyalty, that is, loyalty to the party, the country and the people, firmly establishing the "four consciousnesses" and "four self-confidences", resolutely safeguarding the core position of the supreme leader, resolutely safeguarding the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee, fully implementing the party’s theory, line, principles and policies, actively implementing the major decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, and maintaining a high degree of consistency with the CPC Central Committee in political stance, political direction, political principles and political road.
Leading cadres have a clear-cut stand, new measures and new achievements in politics
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee, with the Supreme Leader as the core, has attached great importance to leading cadres’ talking about political issues, and adopted a series of major measures to conduct all-round and multi-level education and management supervision over leading cadres. Leading cadres at all levels have obviously strengthened their "four consciousnesses" and "four self-confidences", and their political stance, political awareness and political ability have been significantly improved, which has consolidated the unity of the party and provided a strong political guarantee for the development of the cause of the party and the country.
Resolutely safeguard the core position of the Supreme Leader, and resolutely safeguard the authority of the CPC Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership. The Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee made it clear that the Supreme Leader was the core of the CPC Central Committee and the whole party, and solemnly proposed "the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core". The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will firmly establish political consciousness, overall situation consciousness, core consciousness and conformity consciousness, firmly safeguard the authority of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core and write centralized and unified leadership into party constitution. Reform and improve the system and mechanism of adhering to the overall leadership of the Party. The CPC Central Committee promulgated and implemented a number of important laws and regulations within the Party, such as "Several Provisions of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee on Strengthening and Maintaining the Centralized and Unified Leadership of the CPC Central Committee", "Regulations on the Work of the Party Group in the Communist Party of China (CPC) (for Trial Implementation)" and "Regulations on the Work of Local Committees in the Communist Party of China (CPC)", and comprehensively deepened the reform of the Party and state institutions. All localities and departments regard resolutely safeguarding the core position of the Supreme Leader Comrade, resolutely safeguarding the authority of the CPC Central Committee and centralizing and unifying leadership as fundamental political principles, taking studying and implementing Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era as a major political task, and taking the implementation of the major decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee as the primary political responsibility to promote the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee to take root.
Firmly establish political ideals and strengthen political beliefs. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has always taken firm ideals and beliefs as the primary task of ideological construction, and educated and guided the broad masses of leading cadres in party member to firmly establish political ideals, build a solid foundation of faith, and make up the "calcium" of the spirit. In-depth development of the party’s mass line education practice activities, "three strictness and three realities" special education, solidly promote the normalization and institutionalization of "two studies and one work" study and education, and continuously consolidate, expand and deepen the educational achievements within the party. Vigorously develop red educational resources, dig deep into and make good use of Red Boat Spirit, Jinggangshan Spirit, Yan ‘an Spirit and Xibaipo Spirit, widely publicize the lofty demeanor of the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries and the advanced deeds of contemporary outstanding Communist party member such as Liao Junbo and Huang Danian, and guide the leading cadres in party member to carry forward and practice the values of communist party people.
?
Adhere to strict governance of officials and serious political life within the party, and promote the obvious improvement of the political ecology within the party. The Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee adopted "Several Guidelines on Inner-Party Political Life under the New Situation" and "Regulations on Inner-Party Supervision in the Communist Party of China (CPC)". All localities and departments vigorously strengthened the education of party rules and regulations in party constitution, strictly implemented some guidelines on inner-party political life under the new situation, and effectively enhanced the political, contemporary, principled and combative nature of inner-party political life. Party committees (party groups) of various localities and departments have continuously strengthened their leadership and gatekeeper role in the selection and appointment of cadres, highlighted political standards for selecting and appointing people, and established a clear orientation for selecting and appointing people. Taking the opportunity of the change of office as an opportunity, we should innovate the way of recommending and inspecting cadres, do not engage in rambling "sea push", conduct extensive research and talks, implement the system of "four musts for all", and "veto" cadres with political integrity problems, and select the best and strengthen the leading bodies at all levels. Optimize the growth path of cadres, so that leading cadres, especially young cadres, have more "stumbles", strengthen political experience and strengthen political responsibility in grassroots frontline, hard areas and complex environments. At the same time, strengthen the daily management and supervision of leading cadres, vigorously investigate possible political problems and political hidden dangers, and draw inferences from others and improve them.
Correcting the wind and discipline, fighting corruption and punishing evil, "four consciousnesses" and "four self-confidences" take root in society and are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Starting with the construction of work style, the CPC Central Committee started with the promulgation and implementation of the eight central regulations, made great efforts to solve the outstanding problems that were strongly reflected by the people and posed the greatest threat to the party’s ruling foundation, severely rectified the "four winds", resolutely opposed the privilege, and steadfastly "killed tigers", "hunted flies" and "hunted foxes", stopped bad style, which was once considered difficult to stop, and conquered some stubborn diseases that were once considered insurmountable. The people have experienced an unprecedented sense of gain, happiness and security. Our party has consolidated its initial mission, reshaped its political advantages, reconstructed its party style and political style, and regained the people’s hearts of the world. The face of the party, the face of the country, the face of the army and the face of the people have taken on a new look.
The profound enlightenment of leading cadres taking a clear-cut stand and stressing politics
At present, the vast majority of leading cadres can speak politics clearly, but there are still some leading cadres whose "four consciousnesses" and "four self-confidences" have not been firmly established, and the "two-faced people" who violate political discipline and rules and are disloyal to the party have not been eradicated. In the new era, to further promote leading cadres to take a clear-cut stand on politics, we must fully implement Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era and the spirit of the 19th Party Congress, take the party’s political construction as the guide, fully integrate the requirements of taking a clear-cut stand on politics into all work, ensure that leading cadres at all levels are politically hard and reliable, and earnestly shoulder the political responsibilities entrusted by the party and the people.
We must arm our minds with Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era and lay a solid ideological foundation for leading cadres to stress politics. At present, studying and implementing the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era is a major political task for the whole party. Leading cadres at all levels must study in depth, continue to study, follow up on their studies in a timely manner, earnestly learn and understand, and constantly improve the level of Marxist theory. It is necessary to promote the study of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era to go deeper, deeper and deeper, into the heart, into the teaching materials, into the classroom, into the mind, as the top priority of cadre education and training, as the main course of party schools (administrative colleges) and cadre colleges at all levels, and do a good job in education and training by classification. In accordance with the central government’s deployment, we should conscientiously organize and carry out the theme education of "Do not forget your initiative mind, Keep in mind the mission" focusing on leading cadres at or above the county level, build party organizations at all levels into a strong fighting fortress that adheres to the correct political direction, and educate leading cadres to unswervingly advance along the correct political direction.
We must uphold the party’s political leadership, improve the system and mechanism of upholding the party’s leadership, and ensure that leading cadres achieve "two resolute maintenance." Party, government, military and civilian studies, east, west, north and south, the party is the leader of everything. It is necessary to establish and improve the organizational system, institutional system and working mechanism for upholding and strengthening the Party’s overall leadership, effectively implement the Party’s leadership in various fields and links such as reform, development and stability, internal affairs, foreign affairs and national defense, and governing the party, state and army, resolutely safeguard the authority of the Party Central Committee, ensure that the Party always takes the overall situation into consideration and coordinates all parties, and ensure that the Party’s theory, line, principles and policies, and major decision-making arrangements of the Party Central Committee are fully implemented, and that orders are implemented and prohibited.
We must lay a solid political foundation, take winning the hearts and minds of the people and pooling their wisdom and strength as an important focus, and strengthen the political stance of leading cadres. We should closely follow the people’s heart, which is the biggest politics, strengthen the education of leading cadres’ purpose, work style and political morality, so that they can stand firm on the people’s stand, implement the party’s mass line, want to be together with the people, resolutely oppose the "four winds", especially formalism and bureaucracy, and always maintain the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people. It is necessary to educate and encourage leading cadres to forge ahead with determination, work hard, and devote their energy and thoughts to stabilizing growth, promoting reform, restructuring, benefiting people’s livelihood, and preventing risks, and to solving the most direct and realistic interests that the people are most concerned about.
We must be strict in political discipline, put discipline and rules ahead, and improve the bottom line awareness of leading cadres in politics. Strictly implement the party’s political discipline and rules, and comprehensively use various means to accurately identify and remove "two-faced people" in time. Strengthen the inspection of political discipline, strictly supervise and inspect the party’s political life, political behavior, political discipline and the implementation of political rules, etc., and focus on checking whether leading cadres maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee in ideological and political actions, whether they have clear political views, correct political direction and firm political stance on major issues of principle, and focus on finding out problems such as orders and prohibitions, organizing groups and gangs, and forming gangs. Strict and rigid discipline should be observed, and violations of Party discipline, especially political discipline, should be thoroughly investigated, and there must never be a "special party member" in the Party that is not subject to discipline. Strengthen accountability, closely focus on upholding the party’s leadership, strictly administering the party in an all-round way, strengthen political supervision, seriously investigate the main responsibility and supervision responsibility, and promote the implementation of responsibility with serious accountability.
We must highlight political standards, focus on selecting and cultivating high-quality cadres who are loyal and clean, and provide organizational guarantee for upholding and strengthening the overall leadership of the Party and upholding and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Conscientiously implement the party’s organizational line in the new era, and strive to establish five major systems: cadre quality training, governor knowing people, selection and appointment, strict management and positive encouragement. Adhere to having both ability and political integrity, put morality first, appoint people on their merits, always put political standards first, strengthen in-depth investigation of cadres’ political loyalty, political determination, political responsibility, political ability and political self-discipline, promote and reuse cadres who firmly establish the "four consciousnesses" and "four self-confidences", resolutely safeguard the authority of the CPC Central Committee, fully implement the party’s theory, line, principles and policies, and be loyal and clean, and "veto" politically unqualified cadres. Do a good job in the political and ideological construction of leading bodies, integrate loyalty and honesty into the daily study and work of leading cadres, educate and guide leading cadres to strengthen party spirit cultivation, build a solid foundation of faith, strengthen political and moral education, lay a solid foundation for politics, strictly observe discipline and rules, consolidate the foundation of a clean government, improve the basic knowledge system, strengthen the foundation of ability, shoulder heavy tasks and fight hard battles, and strengthen political experience and responsibility in dealing with major struggles and emergencies and completing urgent and dangerous tasks. Strengthen the all-round management of cadres, manage key people, key places, key things and key times, especially the top leaders.Conscientiously implement the "Opinions on Further Encouraging Cadres to Take on New Tasks in the New Era", improve the evaluation mechanism of cadres, focus on the implementation of the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, highlight political assessment, work style assessment and performance assessment, and encourage cadres to take on new missions and show new actions in the new era.
It is necessary to cultivate political ecology, cultivate righteousness, and build a good atmosphere for leading cadres to talk about politics. Creating a good political ecology is a long-term task, and it is necessary to dig its source and contain its forest, persevere and make contributions for a long time. We should take establishing the correct orientation of selecting and employing people as an important focus, implement some norms of inner-party political life under the new situation, start with the basic systems of "three meetings and one lesson", democratic life meeting and dual organizational life of leading cadres, effectively solve the outstanding problems of not talking about politics, ensure that all institutional requirements of the party’s organizational life are implemented, and let party member and cadres often undergo political physical examination in inner-party political life to enhance political immunity. We must resolutely carry out the struggle against corruption and discipline with perseverance on the road forever, tighten the fence of the system, play the role of a patrol sword, and promote the comprehensive and strict administration of the party to the grassroots level, so that the people can truly feel that honest cadres, clean government and clean politics are around and in sight, so that our party will never deteriorate and never change color. Strengthen the construction of inner-party political culture, infiltrate it into all the activities of party organizations and the daily work life of party member and cadres, let the ideals, beliefs, values and fine traditions advocated by the party penetrate into the minds and hearts of party member and cadres, advocate and carry forward communist party people’s values such as loyalty, honesty, fairness, truth-seeking, honesty and integrity, and cultivate a clean and upright political ecology with good political culture.
