Recently, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China issued the "Building Plan for the Rule of Law in China (2020-2025)" and issued a notice requesting all regions and departments to conscientiously implement it in light of actual conditions.

Law is the most important tool for governing the country, and the rule of law is an important support for the country's governance system and governance capabilities.

General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the construction of the rule of law and has repeatedly emphasized it on different occasions.

The party building network micro-platform compiled some important expositions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on the construction of the rule of law, and let us study together.

Governing the country by law is the essential requirement and important guarantee for upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics

  Our party has always attached importance to building the rule of law.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee has clearly proposed that the country be governed by law in an all-round way, and it has been included in the "four comprehensive" strategic layout for vigorous advancement.

The Fourth Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China conducted research and made decisions on major issues concerning the comprehensive promotion of the rule of law.

After the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee established the Central Committee for the Comprehensive Rule of Law, and made a series of major decisions and deployments for the comprehensive rule of law from an overall and strategic perspective to promote historic changes and historic achievements in my country’s socialist rule of law. Significant progress has been made in the practice of comprehensively governing the country by law.

  Governing the country by law is an essential requirement and an important guarantee for upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics, and an inevitable requirement for modernizing the country's governance system and governance capabilities.

If we want to achieve economic development, political clarity, cultural prosperity, social justice, and a sound ecology, we must better play the leading and normative role of the rule of law.

  "Establishing good laws in the world, then governing the world; establishing good laws in one country, then governing by one country." To promote the modernization of the country's governance system and governance capabilities, of course, we must attach great importance to the rule of law issues, and take effective measures to comprehensively promote the rule of law and build socialism. A country ruled by law, building a country ruled by law.

At this point, we will not waver.

Fully governing the country according to law is a systematic project, which requires overall planning and pay more attention to systemicity, integrity, and coordination.

The construction of a government under the rule of law is a key task and a major project. It must be the first to break through. The rule of law sets rules and delimits administrative power, standardizes administrative decision-making procedures, and accelerates the transformation of government functions.

It is necessary to promote strict, fair and civilized law enforcement to improve judicial credibility.

The work of law popularization must focus on pertinence and effectiveness, and in particular, it is necessary to strengthen the education of the rule of law for young people, and continuously improve the awareness and quality of the rule of law of all citizens.

It is necessary to improve the preventive legal system, adhere to and develop the "Maple Bridge Experience" of the new era, and promote social harmony and stability.

Upholding the party's leadership is the fundamental requirement of the socialist rule of law

  It is necessary to uphold the party's leadership of the comprehensive rule of law.

The leadership of the party is the fundamental guarantee for advancing the comprehensive rule of law.

The more complicated the international and domestic environment, the more onerous the tasks of reform and opening up and the socialist modernization drive, the more it is necessary to use rule of law thinking and methods to consolidate governance, improve governance methods, and enhance governance capabilities to ensure the long-term stability of the party and the country.

To fully govern the country by law is to strengthen and improve the party’s leadership, improve the system and working mechanism for party leadership to govern the country in accordance with the law, promote the institutionalization and rule of law in the party’s leadership, and ensure the effective implementation of the party’s line, principles and policies through the rule of law.

  ——From November 16 to 17, 2020, Xi Jinping emphasized at the Central Work Conference on Comprehensive Rule of Law

  The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics. This constitutional amendment proposal clearly includes this content in the constitutional outline.

Adhering to the party's leadership is the fundamental requirement of the socialist rule of law, and it is an integral part of the comprehensive rule of law.

We are the Chinese Communist Party in power and have been in power for a long time. Adhering to constitutionally governing the country and governing in accordance with the constitution, first includes the unshakable leadership of the Communist Party of China as determined by the Constitution. Anyone who denies the leadership of the Communist Party of China and my country's socialist system under any pretext is a mistake. The harmful and harmful are absolutely unacceptable and fundamentally violate the Constitution.

When we talk about the rule of law, the 15th National Congress of the Party made it clear that the broad masses of people, under the leadership of the Party, in accordance with the Constitution and laws, manage state affairs, manage economic and cultural undertakings, and manage social affairs through various channels and forms , To ensure that all tasks of the country are carried out in accordance with the law, and to gradually realize the institutionalization and legalization of socialist democracy, so that this system and laws will not be changed due to changes in the leaders, and not due to changes in the views and attention of the leaders.

When we talk about governing the country and governing in accordance with the constitution, we do not mean to deny and abandon the leadership of the party. Instead, we emphasize that the party leads the people to formulate the constitution and laws, and the party leads the people to implement the constitution and laws. The party itself must act within the scope of the constitution and laws.

The Constitution of our country reflects the party's achievements in leading the people in revolution, construction, and reform in the form of a fundamental law, and reflects the party's leadership position formed in history and the people's choice.

  The construction of the rule of law requires the participation of the entire society. Only when all people believe in the rule of law and enforce the rule of law can the country and social life truly operate on the track of the rule of law.

At present, some leading cadres are still not good at applying rule of law thinking and methods to advance their work. The inability of leading cadres to use words to replace the law and power to suppress the law is the enemy of the rule of law.

Leading cadres at all levels must strengthen their awareness of the rule of law, take the lead in respecting the study of law and observing the law, and set an example for the implementation of the system.

  ——On February 5, 2020, Xi Jinping's speech at the third meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensive Rule of Law
