The image of the party's character, the image of the relationship party, and the fate of the relationship party。
Speech at the 18th plenary session of the party (15 november 2012), excerpt from xi's post on strengthening the party's practices, ed., ed., 2025, cbi, p. 3
In the new situation, our party faces many serious challenges and there are many pressing issues within it. In particular, corruption, mass isolation, formalism and bureaucracy among some party cadres must be addressed. The whole party must wake up. It's hard on itself. It is our duty, together with all-party comrades, to insist on party control and discipline, to effectively address the outstanding problems that exist in our country, to effectively improve working styles, and to work closely with the masses so that our party remains at the heart of china's unique socialist cause。

The new central leadership must set the rules, which are important (the eight provisions of the 18th central political bureau on improving the working style and bringing people closer together — the authors' note). No rules, no circles. From all of us here, the new man's approach. The rule in this area is based on strict requirements that reflect party control and discipline. The leadership of the party must begin with the leadership cadre, who must begin with the central leadership. That's right. That's right. The most important thing is to guard against micro-duperity and not "hot-cooked frogs." now there are formalistic, bureaucratic things, things that are wasteful, luxuries and things that are going up and down, and we can't be surprised at what we're doing. Since the rules are in place, it is necessary to work towards a stricter standard, and it is necessary to be genuine. It doesn't hurt, it's flat, it's empty, it doesn't matter. Rules must be applied to what is already well established, to what is not, and to what is not. Rules are binding, so be it. It's a bit uncomfortable, it's a little uncomfortable, it's a little uncomfortable, it's a little uncomfortable, it's a little uncomfortable, it's a little more comfortable for the people, it's a little more satisfying, it's a little more comfortable for us. This is also a new image。
Statement on improving working styles and bringing people closer to the public at the central political bureau meeting (4 december 2012), excerpts from xi jinping about strengthening party styles, eds. 2025, cbi, p. 51
On 4 december, a meeting of the central political bureau considered the adoption of eight provisions on improving the working style and bringing people closer together, guided by the strict requirements for party control and party discipline, starting with the central political bureau. During the discussion, comrades from the central political bureau suggested that it should be stricter. What is the beginning of the rule is “general”, and it is better to say “all”. Without the slings, it ended up as a "two." we, the “amnesty proclamation”, have been made public, and it is up to everyone to monitor that we are real, not mere words. We also want to lead by example, from the top down. It is in the spirit of this provision that strong initiatives to improve the culture of work are to be taken on the ground and that the whole party is working together to address the salient issues of the culture。
Speeches during the study in guangdong (7-11 december 2012), digest of xi's post on strengthening the party's style of construction, eds., eds. 2025, p. 54
The fear that the eight provisions would be implemented would not be unreasonable, or that they would be formal. It's about how we do it. The issuance of the eight provisions is only the beginning, only the solution, and much more needs to be done. We will continue to do so with a pebble of stone and iron and iron, and will continue to do so in a successful and successful manner, to prevent the death of all the people of the entire party, to be monitored and to allow the people to see tangible results and change。
Eight provisions are entry and mobilization orders to improve the style (22 january 2013), xi jinping book selection, vol. I, people's press 2023, p. 89

The central initiative, which opposes formalism, bureaucracy, pleasure and luxury, is a focus on anti-corruption and pro-corruption, and an entry point for a solid mass base of party rule. All-party comrades must recognize the problem at this political level, awakening their minds, bearing in mind the “two imperatives”, remain steadfast in their fight against corruption, make sure that the stone is stamped and scratched, that new advances and gains in anti-corruption and anti-corruption efforts are made, and that the party and the country are flourishing and lasting。

The issue of party behaviour is diverse and complex, with major and secondary aspects of contradictions and contradictions. Solving the problem requires capturing the main aspects of the main contradictions and contradictions. Formalism, bureaucracy, enjoymentism and luxury are central manifestations of the culture problem and need to be addressed as key aspects of the main contradictions and contradictions. Solving the “four winds” problem involves treating both symptoms and causes. The cure is to focus on the manifestations of the “four winds” problem, the correction of which is prohibited. The solution is to find out the underlying causes of the problem, and to curb it from ideal beliefs, working procedures, institutional mechanisms, etc. The “four winds” problem varies from one region to another, ranging from formalism to bureaucracy to enjoymentism and luxury to focusing on what matters。
Addresses in hebei research guided the mass route educational practice (11 and 12 july 2013), excerpts from xi jinping on strengthening the party's practices, 2025 edition, pp. 81-82
As an important entry point and focus for the new and great project to build the party, it is essential to maintain the discipline of the party, to enforce its responsibilities, to build the culture that requires integration into the party's intellectual, organizational, anti-corruption and institution-building, and to raise the overall level of party-building。
Statement at the 16th collective study of the 18th central political bureau (30 june 2014), excerpt from xi's review of the strengthening of the party, 2025 edition, p. 114
It is necessary to move from a solution to the problem of the four winds to an effort to improve the mindset, the working style, the leadership style and the life of the cadres, to an effort to improve the culture, the culture and the culture of learning, the culture of communication, and to strengthen the management of the causes so that the party members and the cadres are not only afraid of the evils, but also unable to, and does not want to, the evils, so that the integrity of the party is fully established。

The issue of style is essentially a party issue. For us in the communist party, the solution to the problem of good conduct is a very important measure of loyalty to the marxist faith, to socialism and communism, to the party and to the people. We have to deal with all kinds of top-heavy violations with iron discipline, let alone with the “seventy-two changes” of the wind, and find them, as much as we can. In addition to strengthening party upbringing, the traditional culture of chinese excellence is promoted。
Unswerving party integrity building and the fight against corruption (12 january 2016), xi jinping governance, vol. Ii, foreign press 2017, p. 165
The "four winds" problem is stubborn and repetitive, and correcting the "four winds" cannot stop, and the construction of the winds is always on the way. Formalism, bureaucracy and the nature and style of our party are incompatible with it. It is an enemy of our party and of our people. The comrades of the central political bureau must take the lead in shaping the right performance, always being honest, telling the truth, doing the right thing and conscientiously opposing formalism and bureaucracy. The comrades of the central political bureau are not only leading the way not to be formalistic, bureaucratic, but also to fight resolutely with the manifestations of formalism and bureaucracy, focusing on issues, fully recognizing formalism, bureaucratic diversity and variability, understanding the different manifestations of formalism, bureaucracy at different times, in different regions and sectors, closely linking them to concrete realities, resolving both old and new problems; resolving both overt and covert problems; and addressing both the surface and deep-seated problems, capturing habits and long-lasting effects。

Address at the central political bureau conference on democratic life (25-26 december 2017), people's daily (27 december 2017)
Strengthening the ethos must be tied to the key to maintaining the link between the party and the people. The "four winds" problem is just a symptom, one that is at the root deviating from partyism and losing its purpose. Many of the problems at the grass-roots level are due to the fact that members of the party, cadres and cadres do not have a crowd, do not want to do it, do not work for the crowd, and that a few cadres, either ignore the expectations of the crowd or are afraid to respond to their demands, are in a state of silence in front of the crowd. The leadership is to break the concept of “official status” and firmly oppose the concept of privilege and privilege. As comrade mao said, “the people choose their tools of leadership from the practice, their leaders. The chosen person would be wrong if he thought he was wrong, not as a tool, but as a tool. The sound of this is still deafening today。
Re-dressing and moving forward to endeavour on the road from the ruler party (11 january 2018), book ii of xi jinping, people's press 2023, p. 122
The central eight provisions are not five years or ten years, but long-standing iron rules and bars. To stop the “four winds” as an important means of consolidating the hearts and minds of the party and firmly preventing the emergence of “tired syndromes”, to fight the evils of healing, luxurious winds, etc., and to guard against the new movement of the “four winds” invisibility, the resurgence of death and ashes must not be allowed! It is unacceptable that old and new evils should not be eliminated, and that the leaders at all levels must act with their physical strength and at the same rate, in order to lead the people to the goal of “two hundred years” in solidarity。
Addressed at the 3rd plenary session of the nineteenth session of the central disciplinary inspection commission (11 january 2019), excerpt from xi's review of the general strengthening of party discipline, 2024 edition, pp. 138-139
The defence against corruption must be secured from minor events. The little hole doesn't fix, the big hole suffers. A man's degenerativeness often starts from eating and drinking. Why should the center of the party start with eight provisions to build a good party? It is precisely because the “four winds” and the problem of corruption are seen in each other and are breeding grounds for corruption. However, despite the ruling of the central party, there are still people who are ignoring the rules and disciplined. The eight provisions are the iron rule established by the central party and must not be taken seriously. Some people think that eating, drinking and eating are human beings, and that they can't make a difference. What's so embarrassing? Is compliance important, or is it human? I don't know what else to do! As i said, the implementation of the eight provisions of the central rule is going to be more disciplined. Newly selected young cadres are subject to strict scrutiny, a veto is required for such cases and, typically, are dealt with by the organization。
" strive to grow up to be a reliable and responsible leader of the times for the party and the people " (1 march 2022), no. 13 of 2023
The issue of party style is related to the survival of the ruling party. To promote the party's tradition of honour and excellence, and to promote the leadership of party cadres, especially those in leadership positions, in conducting in-depth research and studies, in order to do what they have done, to do what they have done and to be effective. In keeping with the spirit of the eight central provisions, and at the rate of the “key minorities”, the fight against the “four winds” continues to deepen, with a focus on formalism, bureaucracy and the determination to break down the ideology and behaviour of privilege. (c) take advantage of the regional, sectoral and phased characteristics of the construction culture, take advantage of the problems that are common and recurring and deepen the management process, and promote its long-term effectiveness. The party's discipline is being strengthened in a comprehensive manner to ensure that its leaders, especially senior officials, are disciplined, held accountable and subject to strict control, and that they are determined to investigate and prosecute violations of party discipline. In keeping with the party style, the party has built up its culture, raised its awareness and strengthened its ability to resist corruption, and it has a strong sense that wealth cannot be sex, poverty, power and strength。

The style of leadership, especially at senior levels, has traditionally been an important sign of leadership and social behaviour, as well as an important window for people to observe party styles. Comrades in the central political bureau are expected to follow the newly amended eight central regulations, one of which is strictly aligned with the standard, and to follow through, focusing on formalism, bureaucracy and leadership in promoting party excellence。
Addresses at the democratic life conference of the central political bureau (26-27 december 2022), people's daily 28 december 2022

Formalism, bureaucracy, and the mission of the new march party of the new era, are formidable enemies within the party. Some of the measures taken to implement the party's central decision-making are inactivity, paralysis, and lack of attention to difficulties, as if they had nothing to do with themselves; some are short-lived and random; others lack respect for norms, respect for reality, lack of respect for the needs of the population, and lack of practical high-level indicators, which have caused serious damage to the party and the state; others are “low-level red” “high-level black”, which is self-proclaimed, altruistic and top-lined, undermining not only the image of the party, but also the feelings of the population and affecting the motivation of the cadres. Formalism and bureaucracy need to be brought to the fore as the focus of a culture-building effort, research into targeted initiatives, scientific precision targeting, and moving towards hard work. It is important to identify the root causes of party awareness, to correct political performance and the perception of power, to improve evaluation mechanisms, incentives and sanctions, to address the concerns of the cadres and to promote better performance。

Effectively improving the culture, overcoming the persistence of formalism and bureaucracy, continuing to reduce poverty at the grass-roots level, furthering party integrity and the fight against corruption, and carrying out robust monitoring. It is necessary to consolidate the achievements of education on the subject, to deepen education on party discipline, to promote the internalization of party discipline by party organizations at all levels and by a wide range of party members and cadres, to preserve the unity and unity of the party and to constantly enhance its creativity, cohesion and combat power。
Addresses at the second plenary session of the twenty-third general plenary of the party (18 july 2024), no. 18 of 2024
Deepening the tide of corruption and the search for cure. The intersection of bad winds and corruption is a prominent issue to be addressed at this stage in the building of party integrity and the fight against corruption. In order to maintain zero tolerance, the eight central provisions must be used as iron rules, hard-line bars, a “tight spell”, a serious investigation of the “four winds” of infractions and invisibility, urging party members and cadres to “do not act with small evils” and firmly reject the idea of privilege and privilege, and to establish a proper view of power, political performance and career。
Addressed at the 4th plenary session of the 20th session of the central disciplinary inspection committee (6 january 2025), excerpts from xi's review of the strengthening of the party, 2025 edition, pp. 125-126
The promotion of high-quality development requires unwavering adherence to party leadership and strengthening of party building. The decision of the central party to implement the eight central provisions of spiritual learning further throughout the party is a priority for the party's construction this year. Party organizations at all levels must be organized and implemented in such a way as to encourage party members, cadres to be more assertive and to develop habits, so as to be able to act as a strong entourage and entrepreneurship. It is important to keep the party discipline together, to keep disciplined and to fight corruption, and to keep pace with the root causes and conditions of corruption. The spirit of the march and the spirit of the conference must be promoted in order to pursue the long march of the new era with a sense of commitment。
Addresses during the visit to guizhou (17-18 march 2025), daily people's journal (19 march 2025)
Party leadership is a fundamental guarantee of career development. One important aspect of a local party's leadership and its construction is its political ecology. Leadership at all levels must effectively discharge its responsibility to govern the party, act in a decent and fair manner and act as an example of its own to promote continuous political and ecological purification. Party organizations at all levels must strengthen the education and management of party members and cadres and seriously investigate and punish all kinds of infractions, so that evil and evil may be left out of the market. The party centre has been deployed throughout the party to implement the eight provisions of the central education programme in depth. It is important for the party organizations at all levels and for the members and cadres at all levels to feel a sense of urgency about learning. It is essential to strengthen their sense of responsibility in this area, in the context of the overall effort to address the situation of the party. It is also necessary to link the local authorities to the practice of building up a culture over the years. It is important to keep the culture of discipline and anti-corruption in line, and to lead a broad spectrum of party members, cadres and officials to be disciplined, and bold officers to start businesses。
