Learning to implement xi jinping party (i)
On the 105th anniversary of the establishment of the chinese communist party, the national party construction symposium was deployed to learn to follow up xi jinping's idea of building. The meeting stressed that learning to follow up on xi jinping's idea of building a party is an important political task for the entire party in the present and the coming period. The meeting called for the organization of a system chemistry study. It invites experts and scholars at the pudong institute of personnel of china to write articles on “fourteen sticks”, which are distributed in two periodicals, to be used by cadres at the grass-roots level to study the principles of the original language。
To insist that the leadership of the party is
Chinese specialized socialismThe most essential features
Wu
The xi jinping party's founding philosophy suggests that adherence to the party's leadership is the essence of chinese socialism. Learning to implement xi jinping's idea of building a party should grasp the theoretical innovation values and practical guidance inherent in this major assertion, based on three dimensions of history and institutional and practical logic。
Historical logic:
A leap from an “necessary choice” to an “essential provision”
The establishment of the leadership of the communist party of china is the choice of history and of the people. History has chosen to answer the question “why is the communist party of china” and party leadership is the most essential feature of chinese identity socialism, and the question “what is the relationship between party leadership and socialism”? The significance of this leap in theory is that the leadership of the party is no longer simply understood as the external guarantee of the socialist cause, but rather as an intrinsic attribute of the internalization of the socialist system, which is the “life characteristic” of chinese socialism. If this feature is removed, socialism loses its qualitative prescriptiveity. This theoretical innovation has given strong support to “party politics, civil science, and party leadership in east, north and south”。
Institutional mechanisms:
Party leadership determines the socialist system
The party's leadership is the essence of chinese socialism and means that the party's leadership is the “genetic code” that determines the shape of the socialist system. The system of people's congresses, the multiparty system of cooperation and political consultation led by the communist party of china, and the system of ethnic regional autonomy were created, perfected and operated under the leadership of the party. In the case of poverty eradication, for example, it is the investment of resources and the implementation of policies, on the face of it, and, at the deep end, it is the vertical, horizontal and plurilateral organization of the party, which ensures that policies remain intact and that resources are not withheld. The party's efforts to focus on mobilization mechanisms for major events have brought about concerted action across regions and sectors, which have brought about the miracle of human poverty reduction. The practice vividly explains that party leadership is not abstract, but is embedded in various parts and areas of state governance, creating unique institutional advantages and governance effectiveness。
Practice points to:
The party's self-revolution led the social revolution
Learning to understand that adherence to party leadership is the essence of chinese socialism, and it is important to answer the real question: how can the party's sophistication and purity be maintained under long-term conditions of government? General secretary xi has pointed out in depth that self-revolution is one of the most distinct qualities of our party. This is a major argument that has a logical closed-up with the former: the party’s own state of affairs is directly responsible for the success of the socialist cause. Since its eighteenth year of existence, the party has advanced from the top to the top, the fight against corruption has won an overwhelming victory and has been fully consolidated, with the inherent logic of ensuring, through self-revolution, that the party remains a strong core of leadership. From “the iron must be hard by itself” to “the iron must be hard by itself”, it is clear that the understanding of “the most essential features” has deepened. The leadership of the party is not once and for all, but must be consolidated and strengthened in a continuous process of self-purification, self-improvement, self-renovation and self-improvement。
Time's revelation:
Consolidating the foundations of decent innovation
Today, with no major change in the world in the past hundred years, we are entering a critical period of strategic opportunity and risk challenges. The more complex the situation is, the deeper the party's leadership is the essence of chinese socialism. It is to insist on the party's full leadership, to understand the decisive importance of the “two-buildings” and to be firmly committed to “two-maintenances”, without any ambiguity at any time or under any circumstances; the innovation is to constantly improve the party's leadership and governance, and to improve its scientific, democratic and legal governance. The two points to the great practice of unification in the new era of chinese socialism. To insist that the party's leadership is not intended to go back to the old path of “business as usual”, but rather to play a better role, under the principle of “generalization and coordination of the parties”, in the direction of the party, in the planning of the general agenda, in the setting of policies and in the promotion of reforms, in the implementation of the party's leadership in the reform and development of stability, internal and foreign defence, and in the various areas, aspects and components of the rule of state。
China’s communist party leadership is the most fundamental feature of china’s special socialism, a major assertion that profoundly answers the fundamental question of what china’s special socialism is and why it is good. This major assertion is both a model of theoretical innovation and a guide to practical development. That is not only the key to why we have succeeded in the past, but also our future means of ensuring continued success。
