China News Service, Beijing, October 30 (Reporters: Xie Yanbing, Ma Shuaisha) The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China held a press conference in Beijing on October 30 to introduce and interpret the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Party. Tang Fangyu, director of the Central Policy Research Office, said at the meeting that the most important outcome of the plenary session was the review and adoption of the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Several Major Issues on Persistently Promoting Comprehensive and Strict Governance of the Party" (referred to as the "Decision").
The four words "persistence" in the "decision" are the key to understanding this press conference, demonstrating the long-term achievements of the CCP in promoting comprehensive and strict governance of the party.
At a key historical juncture, systematic planning and persistent efforts to promote comprehensive and strict governance of the party have a clear signal and great significance. "At this important juncture of the 105th anniversary of the founding of our party and the first year of the '15th Five-Year Plan', it is very important and necessary for the plenary session to make systematic arrangements for perseverance and comprehensive and strict governance of the party," Tang Fangyu said.
Comprehensively and strictly administering the Party is always on the road, and the construction of work style can only be carried out, not completed. As Zhang Fuhai, deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and deputy director of the National Supervisory Commission, said at the meeting, style and discipline issues are long-term, stubborn, and repetitive. Correcting the style and eradicating discipline must be perseverant and work hard over a long period of time.
At present, the world situation, national situation, and party situation have undergone profound changes, bringing about many new situations and new problems. Looking at the world, the changes that have occurred over the past century are accelerating and the world is intertwined with events and turmoil has intensified. Looking at the country, the problem of unbalanced and inadequate development in China is still prominent, the task of converting new and old driving forces is arduous, and there are still risks and dangers in key areas.
"The longer we are in power, the longer the peace lasts, and the more complex the environment, the more we must persist in promoting comprehensive and strict governance of the party with a strong sense of urgency." Tang Fangyu said.
Focusing on how to persevere in promoting comprehensive and strict governance of the party, this plenary session firmly responded with a series of strategic arrangements and pragmatic measures.
Among them, the "Decision" places "enhancing the party spirit of Communists" as the first part of the strategic task deployment, and proposes that strengthening party spirit is the fundamental task of comprehensively and strictly governing the party. It encourages party members and cadres to regard strengthening party spirit as a lifelong task, and works hard in strengthening ideals and beliefs, forging loyalty to the party, cultivating feelings for the people, persisting in seeking truth from facts, pure moral character, and maintaining integrity, and has made specific arrangements in five aspects.
"The strong party spirit of Chinese Communists is an important guarantee for our party to maintain its advanced nature and purity, and to improve its leadership and governance capabilities." said Hu Heping, deputy director of the Central Propaganda Department in charge of daily work.
The "Decision" pointed out: "Strengthening the construction of intra-Party laws and regulations is the long-term and fundamental policy for comprehensively and strictly governing the Party." Focusing on governing the Party by system and governing the Party according to rules, the "Decision" further made arrangements from three aspects: improving the system of laws and regulations within the Party, enhancing the execution of the system, and vigorously breaking unspoken rules.
The vitality of laws and regulations lies in their execution. In response to the phenomenon of weak system execution and insufficient implementation, Xie Chuntao, the vice president (vice president) in charge of daily work of the Central Party School (National School of Administration), said that measures to strengthen system implementation run through the entire text of the "Decision".
He introduced that the eighth part of the "Decision" specifically puts forward requirements for "enhancing the execution of the system" when deploying the tasks of governing the party by system and governing the party in accordance with regulations, emphasizing the need to strengthen the rigid constraints of the system, insisting that everyone is equal before the system, that there are no special rules for abiding by the system, and that there are no exceptions for the implementation of the system; it requires that the implementation and supervision of the system run through the entire process of party organizations and party members and cadres performing their duties, ensuring that the system is always powerful and effective everywhere, and resolutely corrects what is not allowed and what is prohibited. "These requirements are of great significance to the implementation of the system."
From constantly "hunting tigers", "swatting flies" and "hunting foxes", to strengthening the party spirit of Communists, to strengthening the construction of intra-party laws and regulations, and constantly tightening the institutional cage... The more than one hour press conference, between proactive announcements and questions and answers, reflected the century-old party's confidence and determination to persist in long-term efforts to promote comprehensive and strict governance of the party.
