The fourth issue of “Qiushi” magazine, published on February 16th, will feature an important article by Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, President of the People’s Republic of China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, titled “Establishing a Comprehensive and Strict Governance System for the Party”. The article points out that since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, we have steadfastly promoted the comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, achieved a series of theoretical, practical, and institutional innovations, built a comprehensive and strict governance system for the Party, and opened up a new realm of self revolution for the century old Party. At the same time, it should be noted that prominent problems such as impure ideology, impure organization, and impure work style within the party have not been fundamentally resolved. The situation of anti-corruption struggle remains severe and complex, and new situations and problems continue to emerge. The “four major tests” and “four dangers” faced by the party will exist for a long time. The comprehensive strict governance of the Party is always on the road, and the Party’s self revolution is always on the road. The whole party must always maintain a clear and firm attitude towards the exam, take the improvement of the comprehensive and strict governance system of the party as an effective way, and continuously push forward the new great project of party building in the new era. The article emphasizes that the construction of the Party in the new era is a systematic project led by the Party’s political construction, with all Party constructions working in the same direction and comprehensively. It must be fundamentally guided by the important ideas of the Party Central Committee on Party building and the Party’s self revolution, adhere to and strengthen the Party’s comprehensive leadership and the Party Central Committee’s centralized and unified leadership, implement the overall requirements of Party building in the new era, use systematic thinking and scientific methods to promote the full coverage of Party management and governance, the full coverage of objects, the full chain of responsibilities, and the full integration of systems, and further improve the comprehensive and strict Party governance system with complete elements, complete functions, scientific norms, and efficient operation. The article makes arrangements for improving the comprehensive and strict governance system of the Party from five aspects. Firstly, establish a sound organizational system that is interconnected and effectively executed. The leadership and management of the Party must be implemented in all aspects of Party governance, and the Party’s central, local, and grassroots organizations must be strong, effective, and operate smoothly. Only when the Party’s organizational system is tightened, and the political and organizational functions of Party organizations at all levels are fully utilized, can the comprehensive strict governance of the Party continue to advance in depth. The key to strengthening the Party’s organizational system is to uphold the authority of the Party Central Committee and centralized and unified leadership, fundamentally achieving the “two safeguards”. Secondly, establish a sound education system that solidifies the foundation and nurtures the soul. Only by mastering scientific theories, consolidating ideological foundations, and comprehensively governing the Party strictly can we have solid support. We must firmly grasp the foundation of ideological construction, persistently promote the Party’s innovative theoretical armament, persistently strengthen Party spirit education, and guide Party members and cadres to transform the strategic policy of comprehensively governing the Party strictly into conscious actions. Thirdly, establish a precise and targeted regulatory system that addresses both the symptoms and root causes. To promote comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, the key is to truly manage and strictly implement precise governance. We must closely monitor and analyze the new trends in the Party’s situation and conduct, adhere to the principle of addressing problems and tackling the root causes, and improve the precision and effectiveness of Party governance by treating both the symptoms and the root causes. Fourth, establish a scientifically sound and effective institutional system. The comprehensive strict governance of the Party is politically and principled, and there must be a scientific and comprehensive system to regulate it. Institutional construction should be in line with the needs of governing the Party and supporting various Party constructions, and comprehensively weave the cage of the system. At the same time, it is also necessary to prevent the system from being too cumbersome and falling into “institutional traps”. We need to strengthen system integration and make various systems an organic whole. Fifth, establish a clear responsibility system with well-defined subjects and requirements. Comprehensively and strictly governing the Party is the common responsibility of the entire Party. It is necessary to establish a sound responsibility system in a hierarchical and classified manner, in order to clarify responsibilities, consolidate responsibilities, and promote Party organizations at all levels and the vast number of Party members and cadres to understand, assume, and fulfill their responsibilities. The article points out that to improve the system of comprehensively and strictly governing the Party and further promote the comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, the comrades of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee should lead by example, be strict with themselves, shoulder their responsibilities, exercise strict control over their jurisdiction, unite and lead the whole Party to govern the Party well and build it strong, so as to provide a strong guarantee for comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation with Chinese path to modernization.
