Editor's note: The sudden new outbreak of pneumonia is a major examination of the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, normalized epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development "double co-ordination" steadily moved towards "double victory", demonstrating the vivid practice and significant advantages of "governance in China". In order to further in-depth study, propaganda and implementation of the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Party, to better adhere to and improve the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, and to promote the system's advantages into better governance efficiency, the Central Cyber Office and Qiushi Magazine jointly organized "China's Steady Advance" online theory communication column invites experts and scholars in the ideological and theoretical circles to write a series of theoretical articles, which will be launched on Qiushi.com from now on, so stay tuned.
Summary of content: The overall battle of the People ’s War to prevent and control the new crown pneumonia epidemic demonstrated the great superiority of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and the national governance system. China ’s performance in the response to this rare public health crisis has caused global attention and high evaluation. The fundamental reason is that this epidemic has demonstrated the efficient social mobilization, organization and coordination of China ’s national governance system and China ’s The strong cohesion of the people. At the same time, it also demonstrates the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China and the strong advantages of the leadership system, and reflects the extreme importance of the "core".
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "This new coronary pneumonia epidemic is a menacing test for all countries." When China entered the examination room, it faced "unexplained pneumonia". When other countries entered the examination room, they faced that China had paid the price. Ming's "New Coronavirus Pneumonia". With the spread of the epidemic around the world, this exam has obviously gone beyond the narrow scope of "medical and health", but it is a major exam of the systems and governance systems and governance capabilities of various countries.
Demonstrate the great superiority of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and national governance system
At the beginning of this big exam, some people in the West pointed their sharp points at the Chinese system and the national governance system. Although it cannot be said that China has answered every question perfectly in this big exam, China's national system and governance system have fully demonstrated their unique advantages and advantages in the entire epidemic prevention and control and resumption of production and have been tested. A good grade.
General Secretary Xi Jinping once pointed out: "Shoes don't fit. You only know them if you wear them." The "fit" mentioned here is philosophically speaking, it is suitable for China's reality and conforms to the law of social development in China, which is truth; from politics Speaking of the above, it is the widespread social recognition, which is the legitimacy. In this Chinese people's fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the two most commonly used idioms are "one heart, one mind" and "all minds together". If the socialist system with Chinese characteristics does not have legitimacy, can more than 1.4 billion Chinese people achieve such a high degree of concerted efforts? The "one mind, one mind" and "one mind, one city" demonstrated by more than 1.4 billion Chinese people in the fight against the epidemic are the simplest and most vivid manifestations of the legitimacy of the Chinese system.
The legitimacy of the Chinese system comes from the people's character of the Chinese system. The Communist Party of China is not a representative of the interests of a certain group of people, but a representative of the fundamental interests of the broadest masses of people in China. This is not only clearly stated in the party constitution, but in actual work, no one in the party is allowed to use power for personal gain. At the beginning of the fight against the new coronary pneumonia epidemic, General Secretary Xi Jinping demanded that "party committees and governments at all levels and relevant departments should put the lives and health of the people first." All measures taken by the Communist Party of China and the government in the fight against the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic exemplified this requirement. Putting the people first in everything and sticking to the people as the center are the fundamental principles of the Communist Party of China and the government in responding to this epidemic. This not only reflects the fundamental characteristics of the fight against the epidemic, but also reflects the essential requirements of the Chinese system and national governance system.
At the same time, the effectiveness of the Chinese system has left a strong impression. China is the first country to enter the global examination room to fight the epidemic. Because China has adopted strict control and isolation measures and scientific and precise treatment plans, it has won staged victory in the prevention and control of epidemics. This not only fully proves that China's decision and measures to combat the new coronary pneumonia epidemic are correct, but also highlights the effectiveness of the Chinese system and governance system. The "joint force" of the advantages of the Chinese system and governance system in all aspects has been transformed into a huge governance effect.
Demonstrate the great advantages of China's national governance capabilities
National governance capacity is the concentrated expression and effective operation of the national system. One of the fundamental reasons why China ’s performance in this rare fight against the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic has attracted global attention and high evaluation is that this war epidemic embodies China ’s national governance capacity, especially its efficient social mobilization, Organization and coordination. At the same time, it also embodies the strong cohesion of the Chinese people.
What is efficient social mobilization? Imagely speaking, it is "one response to all." This efficient social mobilization force is reflected in the speed of decision-making and implementation, as well as the rapid action of forces in all aspects of society. When the outbreak of New Coronary Pneumonia raged in Wuhan for a short period of time, the Party Central Committee acted decisively and urgently activated the first-level response mechanism on the eve of the Chinese New Year. All parts of the country and the whole society immediately mobilized. The vast majority of medical workers have no turning back, fighting day and night, the People's Liberation Army command and fighters are eager to fight, and dare to fight hard battles, the broad masses of the people are united in the city, watching over and helping each other, the general public security police, disease control staff, community staff and other staff stick to their posts, on duty day and night, the majority of news Those who are not afraid of hardship and danger, go to the front line, and the volunteers and other volunteers are sincerely dedicated and hardworking. It is precisely the correct and decisive decision of the Party Central Committee and the high awareness of the masses of the people that the "joint force" of these two aspects has formed a united and united anti-epidemic situation.
What is efficient organization? Imagely speaking, it is "orderly." This war epidemic is a grand systematic project, not just medical and health issues, involving all-round work on people, finance, materials, information, etc., including patient treatment, scientific research, material security, public opinion guidance, traffic control, society Quarantine and other aspects, as well as overall planning for epidemic prevention and control, economic and social development, domestic epidemic prevention and control, and international cooperation. Only by organizing all aspects of this orderly order can we form a work pattern and a strong joint force for prevention and control of the epidemic situation across the country and in all walks of life. We only need to take a look at the communities where we live. To prevent the spread of the epidemic, we must strictly manage the outing and shopping activities of so many residents. How easy is it? However, under the leadership of party organizations at all levels, neighborhood committees, community workers, sinking cadres, and volunteers worked together. All residents consciously cooperated, and the entire Chinese social order was in order. This is because the socialist system with Chinese characteristics is a system under the overall leadership of the Communist Party of China and constructed in accordance with the principle of democratic centralism. The people all know that the decision of the Central Committee of the Party is to protect everyone ’s life and health. Party organizations at all levels They all act in accordance with unified deployment. Therefore, this system inherently has strong organizational power, can fully mobilize manpower, and distribute resources in all directions, forming a powerful and powerful epidemic prevention and control of the people's war, overall war, and blocking war.
What is efficient coordination? Visually speaking, it is "a national chess game." From the beginning, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that the fight against the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic emphasized: "The epidemic prevention and control must adhere to a national chess game. Party committees and governments at all levels must resolutely obey the Party Central Committee's unified command, unified coordination, and unified scheduling, so as to prohibit orders. It can be said that upholding a national chess game, mobilizing all parties to the regional polarity, and concentrating on major affairs are a powerful guarantee for winning the epidemic prevention, control and blocking war. This is because there are two "institutional magic weapons" in China: First, the Communist Party of China can exercise overall leadership over all work, the Party Central Committee can exercise unified command and control over the party committees and governments at all levels, and the party committee can take over the overall situation and coordinate all parties, including Coordinate people's congresses, governments, and CPPCC organizations at the same level; Second, China's national structure implements a unitary system. The joint prevention and control mechanism established by the State Council can make local government requests for prevention and control of epidemics based on the deployment of the Central Leading Group for Epidemic Response Including, you can ask local governments to send medical teams and provide medical equipment to support Wuhan and other areas of Hubei. For example, the medical teams of various provinces across the country provide support to Hubei, which can only be achieved under China's nationwide system of playing chess and concentrating on major affairs.
In the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, people of all nationalities across the country are closely united around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, sharing one heart and one mind and overcoming difficulties. In the fight against epidemics, we saw the strong cohesion of more than 1.4 billion Chinese people. "It's difficult for one side, support from all directions", "to give up the family, to help everyone" and "to help each other" has always been a fine tradition of the Chinese nation. Even those who were confused at the beginning of the anti-epidemic period, still holding the thoughts of suffering and sharing difficulties together, hoping to go through the most difficult time. Especially when the epidemic broke out, the masses of the people saw the vanguard exemplary role of the majority of Communist Party members, and they were full of confidence in defeating the epidemic. This shows that a system, a political party, and a government, to form an efficient social mobilization, organization, and coordination, not only rely on strict system and system execution, but also rely on warm emotions and party groups, Emotional cohesion between cadres, doctors and patients, and people.
Demonstrate the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China and the strong advantages of the leadership system
This fight against epidemic prevention is a big test of the socialist system and national governance system with Chinese characteristics, a big test of China's national governance capabilities, and in the final analysis is a big test of the Communist Party of China, and it is a test of the leadership and leadership of the Communist Party of China. Big exam. At the same time, the importance of "four consciousnesses" and "two maintenances" was also tested.
This big test has tested the extreme importance of the "core". In this unprecedented epidemic operation, General Secretary Xi Jinping personally directed and deployed himself throughout the entire process. After the outbreak of the New Coronary Pneumonia, he always paid attention to the dynamics of the outbreak, followed the spread of the outbreak and the progress of prevention and control work, continuously made oral instructions and instructions, issued important speeches, and took the prevention and control of the outbreak as a top priority. On January 7, General Secretary Xi Jinping had presided over the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, and put forward requirements for the prevention and control of the epidemic. On January 20, General Secretary Xi Jinping gave instructions specifically on epidemic prevention and control, requiring party committees and governments at all levels and relevant departments to put the people ’s lives and health at the forefront, and take effective measures to firmly curb the spread of the epidemic. . The joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council immediately convened a video and telephone conference to fully deploy the prevention and control of the pneumonia epidemic caused by the new coronavirus. On January 24, General Secretary Xi Jinping ordered the army to draw medical teams to support Wuhan. On New Year ’s Day on January 25, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and conducted re-research, redeployment, and mobilization of the epidemic prevention and control work. After that, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the meetings of the Politburo Standing Committee and the Politburo meetings to study epidemic prevention and control; he also presided over the convening of the Central Committee for the Rule of Law, the Central Network Security and Information Technology Committee, and the Central Meetings such as the Reform Commission and the Central Foreign Affairs Working Committee put forward requirements and arrangements for the prevention and control of epidemic situations from different angles. At the same time, according to the progress of various stages of the anti-epidemic struggle, he successively went to Beijing to investigate the grassroots epidemic prevention and control work, went to Beijing Military Medical Research Institute, Tsinghua University School of Medicine to investigate the research on the prevention and control of new coronary pneumonia epidemic, and presided over Coordinate to promote the deployment of the New Crown Pneumonia epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development work. He also intensively telephoned, communicated and met with foreign dignitaries and leaders of international organizations to introduce the progress of China's epidemic prevention and control and convey China's confidence. All of this illustrates the importance of the "core" for the unified control and prevention of the epidemic situation by the party Central Committee.
This big test has tested the powerful leadership of the Communist Party of China. Under the leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, at the beginning of the struggle to prevent and control the epidemic, the Central Leading Group for the Response to the Outbreak of New Coronavirus Infection Pneumonia was established by the Central Committee Politburo Standing Committee and Premier Li Keqiang of the State Council. Research and deployment work; the State Council has established a joint prevention and control mechanism for the response to the new coronary pneumonia epidemic involving various ministries and commissions to strengthen overall coordination; the central government sent a central steering group led by Sun Chunlan, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and deputy premier of the State Council, to Hubei At the same time, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China also issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Leadership of the Party and Providing a Strong Political Guarantee to Win the Epidemic Prevention, Control and Blocking Warfare"; Timely formulate strategies for epidemic prevention and control. At the critical moment of the decisive battle against epidemic, General Secretary Xi Jinping went to Wuhan, Hubei Province to investigate the epidemic prevention and control work, emphasizing that Hubei and Wuhan are the most important and decisive battles in this epidemic prevention and control struggle. The epidemic prevention and control situation in Hubei and Wuhan has undergone positive and positive changes, and important achievements have been achieved. However, the epidemic prevention and control tasks are still arduous and arduous. The more it is at this time, the more you must keep your head clear, the more prudent and consistent you are, and the more you must work harder and do better. In order to coordinate the work of epidemic prevention and economy, the Party Central Committee also held a video conference and adopted a series of measures to promote the orderly resumption of production and production. All this shows the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee.
This big test also tested the superiority of the CPC's leadership system. After the outbreak of the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, all countries in the world have noticed that the CPC ’s decisions can be implemented from local to grassroots level. The secret lies in the Communist Party of China has a sound organizational system and leadership system. In China, there are party organizations and a sound organizational system from the central to the local to the grassroots, including enterprises, villages, communities, schools, and social organizations. Even temporary medical organizations were established in the medical teams in various places on the frontline of the Wuhan Anti-epidemic Front. The party organizations of various departments and units at all levels are organized in accordance with the principle of democratic centralism, following the organization of individual party members obeying the party, the minority obeying the majority, the lower-level organizations obeying the higher-level organizations, all party organizations at all levels, and all party members obeying the party Work in accordance with the principles of the National Congress and the Central Committee. Moreover, the party organizations of various departments and units at all levels are usually the political core of the masses of departments and units at this level. Therefore, as long as the central government gives an order, each organization will immediately start like a machine, and the political core role of each organization will immediately exert a strong influence and organizational power. For example, Zheng Junhua, the captain of the first batch of medical aid teams in Hubei, said: "When working in Wuhan, the leaders of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and the municipal government regularly connected with the frontline video to learn more about the progress of medical treatment, logistics support, and concerns about daily life." Shanghai Ma Xin, deputy director of Huashan Hospital, also said: "Although I have been away for a long time, I don't seem to have left. With the support of the municipal party committee and the general rear as a family, we have no backsight on the front line. The rear has made the best arrangements to take care of it Our family members let the front-line fighters have no worries! "Foreign friends often ask what" party leadership "is. By reading these examples, you can understand how Chinese party organizations play a central role in preventing and controlling the epidemic.
The Communist Party of China is a very sober Marxist party. This sobriety is not only reflected in the self-confidence of the system, but also in the deep thinking about the further improvement and development of the system. In this fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the Communist Party of China not only saw the advantages of the Chinese system, but also noticed that the Chinese system still has many problems that need to be further resolved. As General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "This fight against the new coronary pneumonia epidemic is a big test of the national governance system and governance capabilities." He warned us in very clear language: "We must be based on the present and scientifically and accurately win the epidemic prevention. In order to control the blockade, we must focus on the long-term, sum up experience, learn lessons, and address the shortcomings and deficiencies exposed in this epidemic, and pay close attention to shortcomings, plug loopholes, and strengths and weaknesses. The establishment of the establishment, the implementation of the implementation, improve the major epidemic prevention and control system and mechanism, and improve the national public health emergency management system. " This is the precious soberness of the Chinese Communists.
