Breaking the disadvantages of formalism and reducing the burden on the grassroots-in 2020, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core will deepen the expansion of the work of reducing the burden on the grassroots

  Xinhua News Agency reporters Lin Hui, Wang Qi, Sun Shaolong

  At the end of 2020, a report entitled "Continuously Solving the Problem of Formalism, Deepening and Expanding the Work of Burden Reduction at the Grassroots Level", was placed at the desk of comrades attending the Democratic Life Meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee.

  This is after 2019, the Politburo of the Central Committee again reviewed the report on the work of reducing the burden on the grassroots at the Democratic Life Meeting.

  "The Party Central Committee has focused on resolving the prominent problems of formalism and bureaucracy and reducing the burden on the grassroots as the focus of its work style construction. It focused on reducing the burden on the grassroots, implemented precise policies and targeted treatment, and played a combination of punches, which received good results."

  The pragmatic and pertinent evaluation demonstrates the fruitful results of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core in deepening and expanding the work of reducing burdens at the grassroots level.

Over the past year, a series of deployment measures have broken the shortcomings of formalism and reduced the burden on the grassroots, allowing grassroots cadres to gradually get rid of the shackles of formalism, more free to carry out entrepreneurship, and gather a majestic force to take responsibility and overcome difficulties.

Careful: The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core attaches great importance to the work of reducing burdens at the grassroots level

  Work style construction has been an important breakthrough for the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core since the 18th National Congress of the Party.

The voyage of tackling tough problems reached the middle stage and further focused on the problem of overburden at the grassroots level caused by formalism and bureaucracy.

  Time goes back more than a year ago.

2019 is the first "Grassroots Burden Reduction Year" determined by the Party Central Committee.

This year, the results of resolving formalism problems that plagued the grassroots were very significant, and grassroots cadres responded enthusiastically.

  "This work has been done well, but it shouldn’t be just a year’s work. It has already started. We must continue to do so. Don’t have another Wenshan Huihai resurgence. We must deepen and expand the work of reducing the burden at the grassroots level to make the burden reduction work. Better benefit the people."

  At the special democratic life meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee at the end of that year, General Secretary Xi Jinping not only summarized the achievements of the "Grassroots Burden Reduction Year", but also pointed out the direction of 2020, thus starting a new journey of grassroots burden reduction in the new year.

  General Secretary Xi Jinping is well aware that the shortcomings of formalist bureaucracy are not a day’s cold, nor is it a day’s work to reduce the burden on the grassroots from the root.

Only by attaching great importance to ideology, can we continue to grasp it firmly in action.

  At the beginning of the new year in 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping has sounded formalism and bureaucratic alarms for cadres at two important central meetings.

  On January 8, 2020, at the “Don’t Forget Your Original Heart, Keep Your Mission in Mind” theme education summary conference, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out sharply: “In some places, formalism and bureaucracy still exist, and the eagerness for success and quick success will increase the burden on the grassroots. , And so on."

  A few days later, on January 13, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping also emphasized at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, “We must adopt a clear system orientation to remove the hands and feet of cadres and entrepreneurs from the shackles of formalism and bureaucracy. Freed from the'routines', a new trend of truth-seeking, pragmatism, integrity and integrity is formed."

  Drums and hammers were blasted, and there was a sound.

The two important speeches at the beginning of the year once again solemnly declared to the whole party that the construction of style is always on the road, and the solution to the problem of formalism must be carried out without stopping.

  In the year of decisive battle, the sudden new crown pneumonia epidemic caught grassroots cadres by surprise, and everyone's work was very hard.

At the critical moment of the fight against the epidemic, some invisible changes in formalism and bureaucratic issues and signs of resurgence have emerged again.

  “Some local municipal and county health bureaus, emergency bureaus, government offices, county party committee offices, women’s federations, education bureaus, agricultural and rural bureaus, etc. have each produced one or several forms, requiring grassroots cadres to fill out and report them quickly. The content of these forms In fact, there is not much difference, but there is no document or department to help the towns and villages solve the urgently needed problem of even a mask and a bottle of disinfectant"!

  On February 3, at a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, General Secretary Xi Jinping severely criticized the formalism in some areas in the fight against the epidemic.

  The general secretary emphasized that "it is necessary to allow grassroots cadres to devote more energy to the front line of epidemic prevention and control, instead of increasing the burden on the grassroots and consuming the anti-epidemic energy of the grassroots cadres in a formalistic and bureaucratic manner."

  The warm care from the Party Central Committee and from General Secretary Xi Jinping has inspired the vast number of grassroots cadres fighting on the front line of the fight against the epidemic, and strengthened their morale and confidence in fighting the epidemic to the end.

  2020 is an extraordinary year.

Whether it is coordinating epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development, or decisively fighting poverty and decisively winning a comprehensive well-off, every task is a tough one. It requires a large number of grass-roots cadres to take up the responsibility with good style and be overwhelmed.

  At the end of March 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to Zhejiang for inspection.

  While lamenting that “the order of production and life in Zhejiang has been restored quickly, and some parts of it have shown normal prosperity,” General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized again, “This struggle for epidemic prevention and control is for the management of the party, the leadership team, and the party members and cadres of all regions and units. A real test of the level of team building", "It is necessary to focus on formalism and bureaucratic issues to carry out a comprehensive inspection and targeted treatment, and effectively reduce the burden on the grassroots, so that cadres have more time and energy to implement."

  "Let the cadres have more time and energy to implement it", which has become the main line for deepening and expanding the work of reducing the burden on the grassroots throughout 2020.

  In the past year, whether attending important meetings or in-depth local inspections, General Secretary Xi Jinping has always cared about the work of reducing the burden on the grassroots——

  In the face of epidemic prevention and control work, the General Secretary requested “to prevent multiple lines from repeatedly sending tasks to the grassroots level, requesting forms, resolutely correct formalism and bureaucratic practices, and allow the majority of grassroots cadres to devote more energy to the prevention and control of the epidemic. Resuming work and production at the front line".

  In the decisive battle against poverty, the general secretary emphasized that "reducing the burden on the grassroots, ensuring work, life, safety and other aspects, so that the grassroots poverty alleviation cadres can devote themselves to the epidemic prevention and control and poverty alleviation work."

  To decisively win an all-round well-off society, the general secretary called for "taking the benefit of the people as the most important achievement, establishing and improving the incentive mechanism for cadres to take responsibility, and resolutely opposing formalism and bureaucracy"...

  Some grassroots cadres said with emotion, "General Secretary Xi Jinping has always attached great importance to solving the problem of overburdening at the grassroots level. We can feel the trust and care of the Party Central Committee and see that the Party Central Committee has taken care of solving prominent problems of formalism and bureaucracy. Strong determination and determination."

One to the end: continue to deepen and expand the work of reducing the burden on the grassroots

  "The'Grassroots Burden Reduction Year' has indeed unloaded a lot of burdens at the grassroots level, but will it rain after the wet land and the wind will come back?" This question once made many grassroots cadres "drums."

  In April 2020, a single notice gave the majority of grass-roots cadres a "reassurance"-The General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Notice on Continuously Solving the Formalism Problems That Troubled the Grassroots and Providing a Strong Style of Guarantee for the Decisive Victory of Building a Well-off Society in All Respects" .

  "Continue to build a strong ideological and political foundation for overcoming formalism and bureaucracy", "resolutely correct and implement the formalism in the Party Central Committee's decision-making and deployment", "effectively prevent Wenshan Huihai from rebounding"...

  Eight aspects are demanding loudly and loudly, demonstrating the Party Central Committee’s firm determination to deepen and expand the work of reducing the burden on the grassroots with the spirit of nailing a nail.

  "As soon as the notice is issued, immediately'swipe the screen' in the circle of friends of colleagues." A grassroots cadre from the Public Security Bureau of Xianning City, Hubei Province said, for grassroots party members and cadres who are fighting on the front line of epidemic prevention and control and resumption of work and production. Said that this is undoubtedly a "timely rain."

  "Timely rain" is to solve the problem that the grassroots cadres are most concerned about.

  "In the first half of 2020, I only held two meetings in the district." said Chen Yankun, a grassroots cadre in Wuhua District, Kunming City, Yunnan.

  For a long time, "Wenshan Huihai" has been the "heartache" of many grassroots cadres.

In the past, Chen Yankun was able to hold three meetings in the morning, and often troubled taking time off for meetings.

Now that there are fewer meetings, there will naturally be more time to enter the community and petition.

  Establish "account establishment, strict management, correction, and notification" methods; issue a "negative list" for issuing documents and meetings; propose "five reductions" requirements for reducing the number, reducing personnel, reducing agenda, reducing time, and reducing space... In the past year, all regions All departments have used their brains to resolutely curb the resurgence of "Wenshan Huihai" and continuously improve the quality and efficiency of document meetings.

  A set of data is a true portrayal of the changes: as of the end of November 2020, the number of documents issued in the name of the Party Central Committee or the Central Office has decreased by 33.7% year-on-year; the number of documents and meetings of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities has decreased by 27.7% and 29.5% year-on-year; central and state agencies The number of documents and meetings decreased by 14.3% and 59.7% year-on-year.

  Holding on to the hard levers of the essay reduction meeting has further stimulated the spirit of the grassroots cadres and entrepreneurs.

  For Qiu Xumei, a grassroots cadre in Minqin County, Gansu, the "sense of gain" in reducing the burden comes from the reduction and standardization of various inspection and evaluation items.

  "In 2019, there were 41 items of various supervision and inspection assessment items, and only 30 items were retained in 2020." Qiu Xumei said that now the supervision and inspection team is here, not listening to reports, not looking at materials, and investigating and understanding work progress and problems. , Which not only ensures that the supervision and inspection situation is true, but also does not increase the burden on the assessed department.

  Take a glimpse and know the whole thing.

At the beginning of 2020, the supervision and inspection items of the central and state agencies included in the plan will be reduced from 96 items in 2019 to 50 items; the items included in the annual plans of various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have decreased by 30% year-on-year; some "Chinese prefixes" and "national prefixes" Supervision, inspection and assessment strengthened the intensity of unannounced visits and spot checks and individual interviews, and strengthened the inspection and handling of "Internet + supervision" problem clues, which improved the effectiveness of the work.

  If you want to truly reduce the burden on the grassroots, you can't just send out notices and move your lips, you must take effective actions.

  At the beginning of the new year in 2020, when the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and State Supervision Commission issued the "Monthly Report" to investigate and deal with mental issues that violated the eight regulations of the Central Committee, it first released an important piece of data-investigation and handling of formalism and bureaucratic issues, and released it to highlight formalism and bureaucracy. A clear signal of the problem bright sword.

  This is the epitome of precise policy and targeted treatment by member units of the special working mechanism of the central level of rectification formalism to reduce the burden on the grassroots level.

  As the first special working mechanism established in the history of our party to overcome formalism and bureaucratic problems, all member units have done their responsibilities and cooperated with each other in the past year to fight a set of rectification formalism combined punches——

  The National Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection followed closely the deployment of epidemic prevention and control and the resumption of work and production to strengthen political supervision, integrate the burden reduction of the grassroots into all links of discipline inspection and supervision, and increase the intensity of investigation and exposure;

  The General Office of the Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council organized and carried out research on resumption of work and production, not only paying attention to discovering problems, but also paying more attention to helping solve problems;

  The Central Organization Department strengthens its efforts to inspect, identify and promote cadres on the front line of epidemic prevention and control and poverty alleviation;

  The Central Propaganda Department organizes relevant news units to comprehensively use multiple media platforms to strengthen propaganda guidance and public opinion supervision.

  Special rectification of key industries and related outstanding issues that involve the vital interests of the masses, standardize the formalism at the fingertips of the rectification of mobile Internet applications, and steadily promote the rectification of the problem of overburdened village-level organizations... In the past year, the work of reducing the burden on the grassroots has continued to expand in depth , Gnaw one hard bone after another.

  At the same time, each member unit of the special working mechanism actively implemented policies to encourage cadres to take responsibility.

Many places insist on the unity of serious accountability and positive incentives, and have issued special documents on implementing fault tolerance and error correction, encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship, and clarifying names for cadres, continuously stimulating the endogenous motivation of cadres to act.

  Whether the burden reduction effect is good or not, grassroots cadres have the most say.

  In September 2020, the General Office of the Central Committee organized and carried out a survey of observation points for rectifying formalism and reducing the burden on the grassroots level. The results of the questionnaire showed that more than 85% of the interviewed cadres believed that the burden of formalism was continuously reduced.

  It is generally reported that the awareness of fighting formalism and bureaucracy in various places has been further strengthened. Leading cadres at all levels have tightened this string, and the grassroots cadres and the masses also have this scale in their hearts.

The "rope" that binds grassroots cadres and their entrepreneurship is untied, more problems are solved at the grassroots level, and more difficulties are overcome on the front line.

A long time to work: a good start and a good start for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country with a good style

  At the end of December 2020, the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection released the latest data on the investigation and punishment of violations of the eight central regulations.

Among them, "Wenshan Huihai rebounded, the style of writing was not true or correct, and the supervision and inspection were too frequent, leaving excessive marks, causing a serious burden on the grassroots". A total of 580 cases were investigated and dealt with.

  Although the proportion is not high, some new variants and new trends of formalism deserve a high degree of vigilance.

  At present, some results have been achieved in deepening and expanding the work of reducing burdens at the grassroots level, but the chronic problems of formalism and bureaucracy in some places, fields, and cadres have not been eradicated:

  Some people simply interpret the formalism of rectification to reduce the burden of the grassroots level as intensive writing, reducing the number of inspections and examinations, and not doing enough to improve quality and efficiency, and there are not many measures;

  Some lack the spirit of self-revolution, not enough to dig into their ideological roots, and consciously or unconsciously use formalism to solve formalism problems;

  Some have insufficient understanding of the arduousness and complexity of rectifying formalism and bureaucracy, and appear paralyzed and relaxed.

  At the same time, due to the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, the grassroots governance system and governance capabilities are not strong enough, and there are still shortcomings in the institutional mechanism, the risk and probability of some formalism and bureaucratic issues rebounding are increasing. Put forward new and higher standards and requirements.

  Strictly administering the party has no rest, and style building is always on the way.

  "Those who are good at eliminating the harm will look at the roots, and those who are good at reason will never have the source." To avoid formalism and bureaucracy, we must find the crux of their thoughts and solve the problem fundamentally.

  In May 2020, an important theoretical book on fighting formalism and bureaucracy was put on the shelves of bookstores across the country.

  9 topics, including 182 paragraphs of relevant important discourses, extracted from more than 70 important documents, and published many important discourses for the first time...

  The "Selected Works of Xi Jinping's Important Essays on Avoiding Formalism and Bureaucracy" promoted by the central-level rectification of formalism as a special work mechanism for grassroots-level burden reduction has become a compulsory course for cadre education and training and an important content for the study of theoretical study centers at all levels.

  Only by consolidating the foundation and nurturing the vitality can the soul be concentrated.

To deepen and expand the work of reducing burdens at the grassroots level, we must continue to strengthen theoretical arms, promote party organizations at all levels to learn the experience and enlightenment of opposing formalism and bureaucracy in different historical periods of the party, and educate and guide the majority of party members and cadres to firmly establish a correct view of power, performance, and career View.

  Those who have the same desire up and down win, and those who have the above rate are stronger.

  On February 23, 2020, a meeting held by the Party Central Committee set an example for all localities.

  On this day, the Party Central Committee held a meeting to coordinate and promote the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and the deployment of economic and social development through video conferences. General Secretary Xi Jinping delivered an important speech.

  This is the largest teleconference since the founding of New China. The venue has been set up from the central department to county-level units, and the number of participants reached 170,000.

The comrades at the grassroots level directly listened to the important speech of the General Secretary, and everyone generally reported that this kind of meeting is good and effective.

  Be the actor who starts and act, not the talker who sits and talks about the truth.

As a "key minority", leading cadres should lead by example and set an example, turning "speaking at the first level for listening" to "seeing at the first level for cadres", and turning "grasping meetings at all levels" into "following implementation at all levels" "It really frees the grassroots cadres from the red tape, the literary mountains and the sea, and the welcoming and sending.

  Inadequate prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, failure to take responsibility and inaction; deployment and implementation of rural dilapidated houses in the transformation of work style, divorced from reality; oversight and negligence in implementing ecological and environmental protection work...

  On April 26, 2020, the National Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection reported eight typical problems of formalism and bureaucracy, which aroused heated discussions in the society.

Since then, Hunan, Liaoning, Fujian and other places have also notified many typical problems.

  After the country prefaces the people, the system is correct.

The notification of typical cases is a concrete measure to use the power of the system to correct formalism.

  In 2021, we will further improve the normalization mechanism for grassroots burden reduction, establish a dynamic monitoring and effect evaluation mechanism for grassroots burden reduction, and a notification and exposure mechanism for typical negative cases of grassroots burden reduction.

At the same time, continue to increase the rectification of prominent problems, promote the research and rectification of in-depth source problems, and continuously improve the level of burden reduction at the grassroots level.

  More than two months ago, the landmark Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee was successfully held.

The "Recommendations" of the "14th Five-Year Plan" approved by the plenary session clearly stated that "continuously correct formalism and bureaucracy, and effectively reduce the burden on the grassroots."

  2021 is the beginning year of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the beginning of the new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way.

  The new situation requires new responsibilities, and the new journey calls for new actions.

  Facing the arduous and onerous tasks of reform, development and stability, the full mental state and excellent work style of the grassroots cadres are a strong guarantee for overcoming difficulties.

  The centuries-old party is full of vigor, vitality comes from the grassroots, and strength comes from the people.

Carrying out the work of deepening and expanding the grassroots and reducing the burden with the spirit of nailing to the end will surely make the party and the people more cohesive, the cadres' style of work will be more pragmatic, and the entrepreneurial environment will be more optimized, and a good start and a good start for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country!
