Leading the Social Revolution of National Rejuvenation and Strengthening the Country through the Party’s Self-Revolution

General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out that deepening the Party’s self-revolution must “take leading the great social revolution as its fundamental purpose.” The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC emphasized: “Maintain a high degree of consciousness in leading the social revolution through the Party’s self-revolution, and persist in governing the Party with the spirit of reform and strict standards.” [1]1 Xi Jinping, “Working Together to Promote the Modernization of All Countries,” speech at the CPC in Dialogue with World Political Parties High-Level Meeting, March 15, 2023. On the new journey of the New Era, the new great social revolution that the Communist Party of China leads the people in advancing is the comprehensive promotion of national strengthening and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese-path modernization. This constitutes a new practical field and practical theme for the great self-revolution. Self-revolution and social revolution complement and mutually promote each other. It is necessary to accurately grasp the scientific logic and practical mechanisms by which the great self-revolution leads the great social revolution, continuously enhance the effectiveness of the Party’s self-revolution, and inject strong momentum into leading the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening the country.

习近平总书记指出，深入推进党的自我革命要“以引领伟大社会革命为根本目的”。党的二十届三中全会强调：“保持以党的自我革命引领社会革命的高度自觉，坚持用改革精神和严的标准管党治党”。新时代新征程，中国共产党领导人民推进的新的伟大社会革命是以中国式现代化全面推进强国建设、民族复兴伟业，这是伟大自我革命新的实践场域、实践主题。自我革命与社会革命相辅相成、互促共进，必须准确把握以伟大自我革命引领伟大社会革命的科学逻辑、实践机制，不断提高党的自我革命实效，为引领强国复兴社会革命注入强劲动能。

I. The Party’s Self-Revolution Is the Primary Prerequisite and Fundamental Guarantee for Leading the Social Revolution of National Rejuvenation and Strengthening the Country

一、党的自我革命是引领强国复兴社会革命的首要前提和根本保证

In leading the advancement of socialist revolution, construction, and reform, the proletarian party manifests the distinctive trait and practical character of being courageous in self-revolution. The *Communist Manifesto* points out: “The Communists do not form a separate party opposed to other working-class parties. They have no interests separate and apart from those of the proletariat as a whole.” “The Communists are the most resolute and always driving force in the working-class parties of each country.” This inherently contains the genes of the Communist Party’s advanced nature and purity, profoundly revealing the secret of why the Party can carry out self-revolution, and also providing the prerequisite for the Party to be able to lead and advance social revolution. Marx also incisively elucidated the intrinsic relationship between the proletarian party’s self-revolution and social revolution: “Revolution is necessary, therefore, not only because the ruling class cannot be overthrown in any other way, but also because the class overthrowing it can only in a revolution succeed in ridding itself of all the muck of ages and become fitted to found society anew.” [2]2 Xi Jinping, “Upholding and Perfecting the Socialist System with Chinese Characteristics and Advancing the Modernization of the National Governance System and Governance Capacity,” speech at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee, October 31, 2019. No social revolution occurs or advances automatically; the victory of social revolution depends on the advanced and pure proletarian party consciously eliminating various negative factors within itself that hinder the smooth progress of social revolution, and playing the leading core role in guiding and advancing social revolution. Only by continuously carrying out self-revolution within social revolution can the proletarian party “develop and transform itself, create new forces and new ideas,” [3]3 This phrasing echoes Lenin’s concept in *Left-Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder* (1920) that the party “develops and transforms itself” through revolutionary practice. achieve the self-sublation, self-renovation, and self-transcendence of the revolutionary subject, provide scientific theoretical guidance, strong political leadership, powerful spiritual motivation, and robust organizational guarantees for leading social revolution, and guide social revolution from victory to new victory.

无产阶级政党在领导推进社会主义革命、建设和改革中，表现出勇于自我革命的鲜明特质和实践品格。《共产党宣言》指出：“共产党人不是同其他工人政党相对立的特殊政党。他们没有任何同整个无产阶级的利益不同的利益。”“共产党人是各国工人政党中最坚决的、始终起推动作用的部分”。这内蕴着共产党具备先进性和纯洁性基因，深刻揭示了党为什么能自我革命的奥秘，也为党能够领导推进社会革命提供了前提要件。马克思还精辟阐释了无产阶级政党自我革命与社会革命的内在关系：“革命之所以必需，不仅是因为没有任何其他的办法能够推翻统治阶级，而且还因为推翻统治阶级的那个阶级，只有在革命中才能抛掉自己身上的一切陈旧的肮脏东西，才能成为社会的新基础。”任何社会革命都不会自动发生、自动推进，社会革命的胜利依赖于先进纯洁的无产阶级政党自觉清除自身阻碍社会革命顺利推进的各种消极因素，发挥好引领推进社会革命的领导核心作用。只有在社会革命中不断进行自我革命，无产阶级政党才能“发展和改造着自身，造成新的力量和新的观念”，实现革命主体的自我扬弃、自我革新、自我超越，为引领社会革命提供科学理论指引、坚强政治领导、强大精神动力、有力组织保证，引领社会革命不断从胜利走向新胜利。

Social revolution is not limited to changes in the political superstructure; it involves composite, multi-dimensional transformations across multiple dimensions and levels, including the superstructure and the economic base, relations of production and productive forces, state governance and social development. It encompasses systematic, holistic innovations in various social fields such as politics, economy, culture, society, and ecological civilization, as well as in all elements of the social structure and all aspects of social life. Therefore, the task of advancing social revolution is extremely arduous, and the challenges to achieving victory in social revolution are extremely severe. This places extremely high demands on the capabilities and qualities of the leading subject of social revolution. From the perspective of historical generative logic and practical unfolding logic, the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening the country is oriented, dominated, and driven by the Communist Party of China; it is an unprecedented great undertaking. The logical prerequisite for achieving a “strong” country is that the ruling party itself must first become “tough.” The Communist Party of China’s self-revolution provides the prerequisite and fundamental guarantee for leading and advancing the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening the country. The intensity and degree of the Party’s self-revolution determine the depth and effectiveness of leading this social revolution. The basic qualities of the Communist Party of China—such as its theoretical literacy, political capacity, leadership level, mental state, and clean governance style—directly affect the future and destiny of leading and advancing the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening the country. Our Party must continuously achieve self-purification, self-improvement, self-renovation, and self-enhancement through self-revolution, temper solid Marxist theoretical literacy, political capacity that keeps pace with the times, outstanding and exceptional leadership levels, an uplifting mental state, and a comprehensively robust clean governance style, and forge an incomparably strong and powerful Marxist ruling party. Only then can it be competent to shoulder the historical responsibility of leading and advancing the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening the country and create new historical achievements.

社会革命不仅限于政治上层建筑的变革，而是涉及上层建筑与经济基础、生产关系与生产力、国家治理与社会发展等多重维度、各个层面的复合式、立体化变革，它内涵着政治、经济、文化、社会、生态文明等社会各领域、社会结构各要素、社会生活各方面的系统性、整体性革新。所以，推进社会革命的任务极为繁重，社会革命取得胜利的挑战极为严峻，这就对社会革命领导主体的能力素质提出了极高要求。以历史生成逻辑和实践展开逻辑来看，强国复兴社会革命是由中国共产党定向主导与引领驱动的，是前无古人的伟大事业。实现国家“强起来”的逻辑前提是执政党自身必须首先“硬起来”。中国共产党自我革命为领导推进强国复兴社会革命提供先决条件和根本保证，党自我革命的力度和程度决定引领强国复兴社会革命的深度和效度。中国共产党的理论素养、政治能力、领导水平、精神状态、廉洁作风等基本素质，直接关系着领导推进强国复兴社会革命的前途命运。我们党必须在自我革命中不断实现自我净化、自我完善、自我革新、自我提高，锤炼出坚实的马克思主义理论素养、与时俱进的政治能力、高超杰出的领导水平、昂扬向上的精神状态、全面过硬的廉洁作风，淬炼出一个无比坚强有力的马克思主义执政党，才能胜任领导推进强国复兴社会革命的历史重任，创造新的历史伟业。

II. Completing the Social Revolution of National Rejuvenation and Strengthening the Country Is the Fundamental Purpose and Ultimate Test of the Party’s Self-Revolution

二、完成强国复兴社会革命是党的自我革命的根本目的和最终检验

The proletarian party’s leadership in advancing the cause of socialist revolution, construction, and reform is an uninterrupted continuous process that unifies diachronic and synchronic stages. The *Communist Manifesto* states that the immediate aim of the Communists is “to raise the proletariat to the position of the ruling class,” “to overthrow the bourgeois supremacy, and to conquer political power by the proletariat,” and “to increase the total of productive forces as rapidly as possible.” [4]4 The *Communist Manifesto* (1848) by Marx and Engels outlines the immediate aims and ultimate goal of the Communist movement. The highest ideal and ultimate goal is to establish a communist society as a free association of individuals. In leading social revolution at different historical stages, the proletarian party must combine current goals with long-term goals, formulating and implementing a revolutionary program that unifies ideals and reality. The central tasks of social revolution in different periods determine the different nature, direction, goals, and content of the proletarian party’s self-revolution, and serve as the fundamental standard for testing the effectiveness of self-revolution. The Communist Party of China is a unifier of the maximum program and the minimum program, having different central tasks in the different historical stages of leading revolution, construction, and reform. This provides different practical fields and practical themes for the Party’s self-revolution, and sets different goal requirements and content stipulations. To accomplish these central tasks of social revolution, our Party must actively respond to and resolve the new expectations, new problems, and new demands that social revolution raises for the Party’s self-revolution, continuously transforming the subjective world while transforming the objective world. Our Party needs to conform to the specific tasks of social revolution, and in the process of emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, keeping pace with the times, and being realistic and pragmatic, continuously achieve innovation in thought and theory, enhancement of political capacity, improvement of leadership level, sublimation of spiritual realm, and purification of clean governance style. This enables the Party’s self-revolution to promptly adapt to and effectively lead the advancement of social revolution.

无产阶级政党领导推进社会主义革命、建设和改革事业，是一个历时性、阶段性相统一的、不间断的连续过程。《共产党宣言》指出，共产党人的最近目的是“使无产阶级上升为统治阶级”“推翻资产阶级的统治，由无产阶级夺取政权”“并且尽可能快地增加生产力的总量”，最高理想和最终目标是建立自由人联合体的共产主义社会。无产阶级政党领导推进不同历史阶段的社会革命，必须坚持把当前目标与远大目标结合起来，制定实施理想与现实相统一的革命纲领。不同时期社会革命的中心任务，决定着无产阶级政党自我革命的不同性质、方向和不同目标、内容，是检验自我革命成效的根本标准。中国共产党是最高纲领、最低纲领的统一论者，在领导推进革命、建设和改革的不同历史阶段具有不同的中心任务。这就为党的自我革命提供了不同的实践场域、实践主题，提出了不同的目标要求、内容规定。完成这些社会革命中心任务，中国共产党就要主动回应、积极解决社会革命对党的自我革命提出的新期待、新问题、新要求，在改造客观世界的同时不断改造主观世界。我们党需要顺应社会革命的特定任务，在解放思想、实事求是、与时俱进、求真务实中，不断实现思想理论的创新、政治能力的增强、领导水平的提高、精神境界的升华、廉洁作风的纯正，从而使党的自我革命能够及时适应、有效引领社会革命推进。

Over the past one hundred years and more, the Communist Party of China has advanced self-revolution in different historical periods of leading revolution, construction, and reform. The fundamental purpose has always been to maintain its own advanced nature and purity, stand at the forefront of the times, grasp the general trend of history, conform to the people’s wishes, and serve as the strong leading core for advancing the new-democratic revolution, the socialist revolution and construction, reform and opening up and socialist modernization, and socialism with Chinese characteristics for a New Era, leading the people to accomplish the two major historical tasks of national independence and people’s liberation, and national prosperity and people’s happiness. The great achievements of the Communist Party of China in leading the cause of revolution, construction, and reform have also ultimately tested and objectively verified the real effects of the Party’s self-revolution. Leading and advancing the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening the country is the logical starting point, practical orientation, thematic content, and value destination of the Party’s self-revolution in the New Era. On the new journey, our Party must closely focus on the central task of completing the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening the country to plan and advance self-revolution, making self-revolution better serve the central task, leading social revolution through self-revolution, and continuously creating new achievements. At the same time, the new achievements in leading and advancing the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening the country must be used to test the actual effectiveness of the Party’s self-revolution, achieving the promotion and deepening of self-revolution through social revolution, and continuously tempering a more advanced and pure Marxist ruling party.

一百多年来，中国共产党在领导革命、建设和改革不同历史时期推进自我革命，根本目的就是为了始终保持自身的先进性和纯洁性，站在时代潮头、把握历史大势、顺应人民愿望，担当推进新民主主义革命、社会主义革命和建设、改革开放和社会主义现代化建设、新时代中国特色社会主义的坚强领导核心，领导人民完成民族独立、人民解放和国家富强、人民幸福两大历史任务。中国共产党领导革命、建设和改革事业取得的伟大成就，也最终检验、客观验证了党自我革命的真实效果。引领推进强国复兴社会革命是新时代党的自我革命的逻辑起点、实践指向和主题内容、价值旨归。新征程上，我们党必须紧紧围绕完成强国复兴社会革命这一中心任务来谋划和推进自我革命，使自我革命更好服务于中心任务，以自我革命引领社会革命，不断创造新业绩。同时，要用引领推进强国复兴社会革命的新成就来检验党的自我革命的实际成效，实现以社会革命促进深化自我革命，持续淬炼出更加先进纯洁的马克思主义执政党。

III. The Party’s Self-Revolution Concerns the Success or Failure of Leading the Social Revolution of National Rejuvenation and Strengthening the Country

三、党的自我革命事关引领强国复兴社会革命的兴衰成败

Upholding the Party’s leadership is a major principle of Marxist party-building theory. The Party’s self-revolution is the necessary path to improving the leadership level and long-term governance capacity of a Marxist political party. The history of the international communist movement proves that for the proletarian cause to flourish, the most fundamental and important factor is the leadership of a strong and powerful Marxist political party; self-revolution is the key magic weapon for the Party to lead socialist revolution, construction, and reform to victory. The main logical thread of modern Chinese history is to select an advanced guiding ideology, establish an advanced political organization, use advanced political forces to lead the people in establishing an independent nation-state, and on the basis of national independence, commit to achieving national modernization. Since the Opium War, other political forces and plans for national salvation have been attempted, but all ended in failure, and none could solve China’s problem of achieving modernization. The fundamental reason why the fate of China’s modernization could undergo a historic turning point, and why the path of Chinese-path modernization could be successfully initiated, advanced, and expanded, lies in the founding, growth, leadership, and driving force of the Communist Party of China. At the same time, surveying world history, for political parties in various countries to lead the realization of national modernization, they must first achieve the modernization of the party itself. General Secretary Xi Jinping points out: “As the leading and driving force of the modernization cause, a political party’s values, leadership level, governance capacity, spiritual outlook, will, and quality directly affect the future and destiny of national modernization.” [1]1 Xi Jinping, “Working Together to Promote the Modernization of All Countries,” speech at the CPC in Dialogue with World Political Parties High-Level Meeting, March 15, 2023. A Marxist political party must closely integrate its own construction with national modernization construction, to lead the direction, make plans, gather strength, and create tangible results for continuously advancing the process of socialist modernization.

坚持党的领导是马克思主义建党学说的一个重大原则。党的自我革命是提高马克思主义政党领导水平和长期执政能力的必由之路。国际共产主义运动历史证明，无产阶级事业要兴旺发达，最根本最重要的是拥有一个强大有力的马克思主义政党的领导，自我革命是党领导社会主义革命、建设和改革事业取得胜利的关键法宝。近代中国历史发展的主线逻辑是选择先进的指导思想、建立先进的政治组织，以先进的政治力量引领人民群众建立独立的民族国家，在民族独立的基础上致力于实现国家现代化。鸦片战争以来其他政治力量和救国方案都进行过尝试，但都以失败而告终，都没能解决中国实现现代化问题。中国现代化命运之所以能发生历史性转折，中国式现代化道路的成功开创、推进和拓展，根本原因是中国共产党的成立壮大和引领驱动。同时，纵览世界历史，各国政党要领导实现国家现代化，首先要实现政党自身现代化。习近平总书记指出：“作为现代化事业的引领和推动力量，政党的价值理念、领导水平、治理能力、精神风貌、意志品质直接关系国家现代化的前途命运。”马克思主义政党必须把自身建设和国家现代化建设紧密结合起来，为不断推进社会主义现代化建设进程引领方向、作出规划、凝聚力量、创造实绩。

Examined from the Party’s political attributes, historical positioning, and responsibility mission, “our Party is a Marxist ruling party, but at the same time it is a Marxist revolutionary party.” [2]2 Xi Jinping, “Upholding and Perfecting the Socialist System with Chinese Characteristics and Advancing the Modernization of the National Governance System and Governance Capacity,” speech at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee, October 31, 2019. The dual attributes and dual positioning of ruling party and revolutionary party are a dialectical unity of high consistency, integration, and mutual promotion. The positioning of a ruling party inevitably requires the Communist Party of China to possess superb governance capacity, leadership capacity, and national governance capacity, to carry forward the great historical initiative spirit, to further comprehensively deepen reform, to vigorously advance the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening, to realize national modernization, and to form the governance of China. The positioning of a revolutionary party inherently requires the Communist Party of China to possess mature party governance capacity, to carry forward the thorough spirit of self-revolution, to be brave in self-revolution while advancing the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening, to realize the Party’s own modernization, and to form the governance of the Communist Party of China. Although self-revolution in the dimension of ruling party construction and social revolution in the dimension of national development each have their own focus and emphasis, they support and promote each other, and are dialectically unified in the new great practice of the Communist Party of China leading and advancing the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening. The Party’s self-revolution concerns the construction of the main force leading the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening, determines the socialist fundamental nature, forward direction, future destiny, and ultimate success or failure of the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening, ensures that the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening anchors on the goal and proceeds steadily and far, stimulates the strong driving force for advancing the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening, and gathers the mighty strength to complete the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening. Only by always maintaining a high degree of political consciousness, ideological consciousness, and action consciousness in advancing self-revolution can our Party forever keep pace with the times, grasp the times, and lead the times, and can it ensure that the direction of leading and advancing the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening is correct, the prospects are bright, the progress is steady and far-reaching, and the cause is prosperous and thriving.

从党的政治属性、历史定位、责任使命审视，“我们党是马克思主义执政党，但同时是马克思主义革命党”。执政党、革命党的双重属性、双重定位是高度一致、融合互促的辩证统一关系。执政党的定位必然要求中国共产党具备高超的执政能力、领导能力、国家治理能力，发扬伟大的历史主动精神，进一步全面深化改革，大力推进强国复兴社会革命，实现国家现代化，形成中国之治。革命党的定位内在要求中国共产党具备成熟的政党治理能力，发扬彻底的自我革命精神，在推进强国复兴社会革命中勇于自我革命，实现党的自身现代化，形成中国共产党之治。执政党建设维度中的自我革命、国家发展维度中的社会革命虽各有指向、各具重点，但两者相互支撑、互为促进，辩证统一于中国共产党领导推进强国复兴社会革命新的伟大实践。党的自我革命事关引领强国复兴社会革命的主体力量建构，决定强国复兴社会革命的社会主义根本性质、前进方向和前途命运、最终成败，确保强国复兴社会革命锚定奋斗目标行稳致远，激发推进强国复兴社会革命的强劲动力，凝聚完成强国复兴社会革命的磅礴力量。我们党只有始终保持推进自我革命的高度政治自觉、思想自觉、行动自觉，才能永远紧跟时代、把握时代、引领时代，才能确保领导推进强国复兴社会革命方向正确、前景光明、行稳致远、繁荣兴盛。

IV. Fully Stimulating the Maximum Effectiveness of the Party’s Self-Revolution in Leading the Social Revolution of National Rejuvenation and Strengthening

四、充分激发党的自我革命引领强国复兴社会革命的最大效能

The Party’s self-revolution leading the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening not only has a scientific internal logic but also requires an effective practical guarantee mechanism, constructing a new “prosperous Party and strong nation” system for the ruling party to lead national modernization construction. The Party’s self-revolution leading the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening is a systematic project with a complete system, clear levels, and comprehensive elements. It is necessary to adhere to the systems concept, highlight its systematic nature, holistic nature, and synergy, pay more attention to system integration, pay more attention to actual results, build a unified whole, and comprehensively stimulate the political leadership mechanism, ideological guidance mechanism, organizational support mechanism, work style cohesion mechanism, disciplinary constraint mechanism, and institutional guarantee mechanism. Through the coordinated linkage and joint driving of the “six major mechanisms,” the integration of forces and aggregation of effectiveness of the Party’s self-revolution leading the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening are realized, stimulating strong traction momentum and releasing the maximum positive effect.

党的自我革命引领强国复兴社会革命既具有科学的内在逻辑，也需要有效的实践保障机制，建构起执政党引领国家现代化建设的“兴党强国”新型体制。党的自我革命引领强国复兴社会革命是一个体系完整、层次清晰、要素周全的系统工程。必须坚持系统观念，突出其系统性、整体性、协同性，更加注重系统集成，更加注重实际成效，一体建强、全面激发政治领航机制、思想指引机制、组织支撑机制、作风凝聚机制、纪律约束机制、制度保障机制。通过“六大机制”协调联动、共同驱动，实现党的自我革命引领强国复兴社会革命的力量整合、效能聚合，激发强大牵引动能，释放最大正面效应。

It is necessary to strengthen the political leadership mechanism to correct the direction. Direction determines the future, and the path determines destiny. The direction in which the Party’s self-revolution leads the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening is a fundamental issue. Taking political construction as the guide, strictly enforce political discipline and political rules, take the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee as the fundamental guarantee, firmly uphold the Two Establishments and resolutely achieve the Two Upholds, [5]5 The Two Establishments refers to establishing Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole, and establishing the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. The Two Upholds refers to upholding Xi Jin continuously improve the Party’s political leadership, and correct the political direction for leading the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening.

要建强政治领航机制把正方向。方向决定前途，道路决定命运。党的自我革命引领强国复兴社会革命往什么方向走，是一个带有根本性的问题。以政治建设为统领，严明政治纪律和政治规矩，以党中央集中统一领导为根本保证，坚定拥护“两个确立”、坚决做到“两个维护”，不断提高党的政治领导力，为引领强国复兴社会革命把正政治方向。

It is necessary to strengthen the ideological guidance mechanism to consolidate the soul. Great ideas guide great practice, and great theories achieve great undertakings. Taking ideological construction as the foundation, adhere to the Two Integrations, [6] continuously open up new horizons in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and the needs of the times, arm the entire Party, educate the people, and promote work with Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, continuously improve the Party’s ideological guidance, and provide ideological guidance for leading the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening.

要建强思想指引机制凝心铸魂。伟大思想指引伟大实践，伟大理论成就伟大事业。以思想建设为基础，坚持“两个结合”，不断开辟马克思主义中国化时代化新境界，以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想武装全党、教育人民、推动工作，不断提高党的思想引领力，为引领强国复兴社会革命提供思想指引。

It is necessary to strengthen the organizational support mechanism to gather joint forces. The Party’s strength comes from organization, and the enhancement of organizational strength lies in the system. Taking organizational construction as the focal point, implement the Party’s organizational line for the New Era, improve the organizational system that is connected from top to bottom and has strong execution, forge a high-quality and professional cadre and talent team, continuously improve the Party’s mass organization, and strengthen the organizational guarantee for leading the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening.

要建强组织支撑机制汇聚合力。党的力量来自组织，组织力量的增强在于体系。以组织建设为着力点，贯彻新时代党的组织路线，完善上下贯通、执行有力的组织体系，锻造一支高素质专业化干部人才队伍，不断提高党的群众组织力，为引领强国复兴社会革命强化组织保证。

It is necessary to strengthen the work style cohesion mechanism to win people’s hearts. The work style of the ruling party concerns the support of the people, and concerns the Party’s ruling position and survival. Taking work style construction as an important starting point, deepen the implementation of the spirit of the Eight-Point Regulations, [7] vigorously promote a pragmatic style, carry forward a clean style, and cultivate a frugal style, continuously improve the Party’s social appeal, and cultivate a solid work style foundation for leading the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening.

要建强作风凝聚机制赢得人心。执政党的作风关乎人心向背，关乎党的执政地位和生死存亡。以作风建设为重要抓手，深化落实中央八项规定精神，大兴务实之风、弘扬清廉之风、养成俭朴之风，不断提高党的社会号召力，为引领强国复兴社会革命厚植作风根基。

It is necessary to strengthen the disciplinary constraint mechanism to form deterrence. Discipline and rules are sharp tools for governing the Party, and strengthening discipline construction is the fundamental policy for comprehensive and strict governance of the Party. Taking discipline construction as the fundamental policy, improve the normalization mechanism for rectifying work styles and enforcing discipline, improve the working mechanism for promoting the integrated approach of not daring to be corrupt, not being able to be corrupt, and not wanting to be corrupt, [8] continuously improve the Party’s disciplinary binding force, and build a solid disciplinary dam for leading the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening.

要建强纪律约束机制形成震慑。纪律规矩是管党治党的利器，加强纪律建设是全面从严治党的治本之策。以纪律建设为治本之策，健全正风肃纪常态化机制，完善一体推进不敢腐、不能腐、不想腐工作机制，不断提高党的纪律约束力，为引领强国复兴社会革命筑牢纪律堤坝。

It is necessary to strengthen the institutional guarantee mechanism to leverage advantages. Institutions are more fundamental, overall, stable, and long-term. Taking institutional construction as a long-term plan, deepen the reform of the Party building system, improve the Party’s leadership system, improve the institutional normative system for the Party’s self-revolution, further improve the system for comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, continuously improve the Party’s institutional execution, and provide institutional guarantees for leading the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening.

要建强制度保障机制发挥优势。制度更带有根本性、全局性、稳定性和长期性。以制度建设为长远之计，深化党的建设制度改革，完善党的领导制度体系，完善党的自我革命制度规范体系，进一步健全全面从严治党体系，不断提高党的制度执行力，为引领强国复兴社会革命提供制度保障。

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasizes: “To advance the building of a strong country, it is necessary to uphold the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, and effectively strengthen Party building.” [9] The grand goal of building a strong country and national rejuvenation is inspiring. Our Party must adhere to the priority logic of “to govern the country, the Party must first be governed; only when the Party is strong can the country be strong,” closely focus on leading and advancing the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening, plan and advance the Party’s self-revolution, comprehensively strengthen Party building, consolidate and strengthen the Party’s overall leadership, and forge a stronger and more powerful leadership core. It is necessary to continuously deepen the understanding of the laws of the Party’s self-revolution, run self-revolution through all aspects and the entire process of Party leadership, Party building, and the Party’s cause, make the ideas and measures for self-revolution more rigorous, make self-revolution in every front and every link concrete and deep, and achieve new and greater results in self-revolution. It is necessary to take comprehensively strengthening Party building and upholding and strengthening the Party’s overall leadership as the fundamental guarantee, realize the concerted and comprehensive efforts of various practical mechanisms for self-revolution to lead the social revolution of national rejuvenation and strengthening, and continuously write a new chapter in comprehensively advancing the building of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-path modernization.

习近平总书记强调：“推进强国建设，必须坚持中国共产党领导和党中央集中统一领导，切实加强党的建设。”强国建设、民族复兴的宏伟目标催人奋进。我们党必须坚持“治国必先治党，党兴才能国强”的优先逻辑，紧紧围绕领导推进强国复兴社会革命，谋划推进党的自我革命，全面加强党的建设，巩固和加强党的全面领导，锻造更加坚强有力的领导核心。必须不断深化对党自我革命的规律性认识，把自我革命贯穿党的领导、党的建设、党的事业各方面全过程，把自我革命的思路举措搞得更加严密，把每条战线、每个环节的自我革命抓具体、抓深入，取得自我革命新的更大成效。必须以全面加强党的建设、坚持和加强党的全面领导为根本保证，实现自我革命引领强国复兴社会革命各实践机制的同向发力、综合发力，不断谱写以中国式现代化全面推进强国建设、民族复兴伟业新篇章。
