The annual democratic life meeting of the Politburo of the Central Committee is clearly stipulated in the "Several Guidelines on Political Life in the Party under the New Situation", which has been held 5 times since the 2016 document was issued.
This year is a very unusual year in the history of New China, in the history of the Chinese nation, and in the history of mankind.
This year, at the critical moment when Mount Tai was overwhelming, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core led the entire party, the entire army and the people of all ethnic groups to rise to difficulties and overcome difficulties, creating an extremely unusual glory in this extremely unusual year. .
This year's democratic life meeting is even more unusually important.
From December 24 to 25, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held a democratic life meeting. General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the meeting and delivered an important speech. He highlighted the important issue of "politics."
Looking back on our very unusual course this year, the significance of these three words is self-evident.
Talk about the big logic behind politics
Talking about politics, in a nutshell, means observing and dealing with problems politically.
Xi Jinping pointed out that stressing politics with a clear-cut stand is not only a distinctive feature of Marxist parties, but also a consistent political advantage of our party.
In 2020, the new crown pneumonia epidemic will come suddenly, floods will occur in many places, economic development will be hit, the external environment is turbulent, and challenges from political, economic, cultural, military, social, international, natural and other fields are coming.
This year, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core united and led the entire party and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country, calmly dealt with and faced difficulties, and created extremely unusual brilliance in this extremely unusual year.
Among them, leadership is the most critical condition, and the judgment, decision-making, and action of the Party Central Committee play a decisive role.
And this judgment, decision-making power, and action power are mainly political.
Taking epidemic prevention and control work as an example, the fundamental purpose of the Communist Party of China is to serve the people wholeheartedly. Our country is a socialist country where the people are the masters of the country.
In order to protect the lives of the people, we can afford everything.
It is for this reason that there is an important decision to decisively close the Lihan Lihu passage and implement unprecedented strict control.
The political courage and historical responsibility of the Party Central Committee and General Secretary Xi Jinping is a key factor in our ability to overcome the epidemic.
For another example, the task of achieving the poverty alleviation goal as scheduled this year has many hard bones to chew, and the epidemic has increased the difficulty.
However, all the rural poor under the current standards are lifted out of poverty. This is a solemn promise made by the Party Central Committee to the people of the whole country, and it must be realized as scheduled, without any retreat and flexibility.
At a time when the epidemic prevention and control tasks are still arduous and onerous, Xi Jinping attended the largest meeting on poverty alleviation since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, mobilized the whole party and the whole society to advance poverty alleviation with greater determination and strength.
We finally completed the task of poverty alleviation in the new era as scheduled, and achieved a major victory that the whole world admired.
For another example, in the face of the severe and complex international situation, the arduous and onerous domestic reform, development and stability tasks, especially the severe impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core maintains strategic determination, accurately judges the situation, carefully plans and deploys, and is powerful. Guarantee people's livelihood.
my country has become the only major economy in the world that has achieved positive economic growth.
Looking back on this year, Xi Jinping led the whole country to coordinate the promotion of epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, coordinate the deepening of reform and opening up and respond to external pressures, coordinate the work of "six stability", implement the tasks of "six guarantees", and decide to build a well-off society in an all-round way Society, a decisive battle against poverty.
Looking back over the past eight years, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, historic achievements and historical changes have taken place in the cause of the party and state.
Looking back on the past 100 years, the founding of the party has broken the world, the establishment of New China has changed the world, and the reform and opening up have been earth-shaking.
All this illustrates a simple and profound truth.
The fundamental reason why our party has won one after another is that it has always adhered to its original intention and mission of seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation.
Xi Jinping emphasized that the most important thing for the party to lead the people in governing the country is to adhere to the correct political direction, always maintain the political nature of our party, and always follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
This is the big logic behind the politics.
Xi Jinping said emphatically that the comrades of the Politburo of the Central Committee were good at finding the right coordinates, choosing the right position, aiming at the bull's-eye, and were good at observing and dealing with problems politically, so that the political demands were transformed from external demands into internal initiative.
A clear political direction
How to be political, Xi Jinping emphasized three "forces" at the meeting.
First, we must improve political judgment, second, we must improve political understanding, and third, we must improve political execution.
Continuously improving these three "powers" is a clear direction for us to enhance our political awareness and grasp the overall political situation.
In every aspect, Xi Jinping made specific and profound explanations.
To improve political judgment, it is necessary to put the country’s political security first, the people first, and adhere to and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics as the foundation, strengthen scientific understanding of changes in the situation, accurately identify the nature of phenomena, clearly distinguish right from wrong, and effectively resist risks The ability to challenge.
To improve political comprehension, we must thoroughly study and understand the spirit of the Party Central Committee, persist in using the Party Central Committee's spirit to analyze the situation and promote work, and always maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee.
To improve political execution, it is necessary to constantly check the benchmarks with the spirit of the Party Central Committee, and earnestly achieve the resolute response advocated by the Party Central Committee, the resolute implementation of the Party Central Committee’s decisions, and the resolute refusal to do what the Party Central Committee prohibits, and resolutely maintain the authority and centralization of the Party Central Committee. Leaders, do not fall behind, do not go astray, and fully implement the spirit of the Party Central Committee.
To sum it up, political judgment is right and wrong, political comprehension is the focus, and political execution is action. The three are an organic unity.
Neither entanglement nor blindly act, nor sit and talk.
Combining with the special status and role of comrades in the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, Xi Jinping also put forward very specific requirements.
He emphasized that the comrades of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee should be good at thinking about fundamental, overall, and long-term issues related to the overall situation of the party and the country, strengthen strategic, systematic, and forward-looking research plans, and be mindful of major issues and key links. Particularly clear-headed, especially bright-eyed, good at discovering political problems from general affairs, good at discovering political clues from tendencies and emerging problems, good at grasping political logic from complicated contradictory relations, and insisting on keeping political stance and political direction unbiased.
He also pointed out that the comrades of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee are important organizers and promoters of implementing the spirit of the Party Central Committee. They should constantly improve their political comprehension, understand the "big country", and clarify their own responsibilities.
These requirements are the high line of politics. Comrades from the Politburo of the Central Committee have taken the lead and set an example for the whole party. They must promote the whole party to study, practice, comprehend, and continuously improve theoretical and political literacy.
Talk about the eternal subject of politics
Xi Jinping also emphasized that we must strictly discipline ourselves in politics.
He emphasized that the comrades of the Politburo of the Central Committee must practice self-discipline, be careful at the beginning, always self-respect and self-reliant, and be cautious and cautious.
Cherish your own integrity as you cherish life and be a spotless person.
Take the lead in running the house cleanly and take the lead in opposing privilege.
This is also a consistent requirement of Xi Jinping at the Democratic Life Meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee.
At the 2019 conference, he emphasized that we must start from ourselves, continue to purify ourselves, self-cultivation, self-discipline, integrity, and family management, and take care of relatives, friends and staff around him.
At the 2018 conference, he emphasized that we must always maintain the Communists' character, integrity, integrity, and courage.
At the 2017 conference, he emphasized that he must be diligent in examining the soul, washing the soul, calibrating the value coordinate, and adhering to ideals and beliefs.
At the 2016 meeting, he emphasized that it is necessary to raise the awareness of integrity and self-discipline, maintain integrity in the use of power in accordance with the law, the correct use of power, and the clean use of power.
Do not forget the original intention, and remember that mission is the most essential requirement for politics.
The higher the position, the more you must be loyal to the people and serve the people wholeheartedly.
Only by respecting the law, respecting discipline, consciously controlling oneself, and setting an example in honesty and self-discipline, can we shoulder the heavy responsibility on our shoulders.
The most deviating from the original intention and mission are all kinds of corruption and privileged thoughts.
There is no end to cleaning up the dust, removing bad habits, and correcting wrong words and deeds. It is always in progress.
This is an eternal subject of politics.
Only by not forgetting the original intention can we achieve stability and long-term success. Only by keeping our mission in mind can we open up the future.
Party members and leading cadres must always take the requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping as compulsory and regular courses, frequently ask and guard the original aspiration, pruning and cutting leaves in a timely manner, replenishing calcium and strengthening the bones, and keeping the ideals and beliefs "master switch" to let the original aspirations and missions. Build a firm deep in your heart, take root in your mind.
