Strengthening Party Building in the “Three New” Sectors to Enhance Grassroots Governance Effectiveness

At present, China’s emerging sectors are developing rapidly, with a large number of new economic organizations and new social organizations emerging, and the scale of new employment groups continuing to expand, making them the newest front for grassroots Party building. General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized the need to “prominently focus on Party building in new economic organizations, new social organizations, and new employment groups.” This year’s *Government Work Report* proposes “improving the urban and rural grassroots governance system.” Continuously enhancing the Party’s appeal, cohesion, and influence in emerging sectors, and advancing the effective coverage of Party organizations and Party work, helps strengthen the Party’s overall leadership over grassroots governance and transform the Party’s leadership advantages into tangible results in strengthening and improving grassroots governance. Strengthening Party building in the “Three New” sectors [1]1 “Three New” sectors (三新): refers to new economic organizations, new social organizations, and new employment groups. to enhance grassroots governance effectiveness is an inherent requirement for further consolidating the Party’s governing foundation and the nation’s governance foundation, and for promoting the high-quality development of social work in the New Era.

当前我国新兴领域迅速发展，新经济组织、新社会组织大量涌现，新就业群体规模持续扩大，成为基层党建的最新阵地。习近平总书记强调，要“突出抓好新经济组织、新社会组织、新就业群体党的建设”。今年的《政府工作报告》提出，“健全城乡基层治理体系”。不断增强党在新兴领域的号召力凝聚力影响力，推进党的组织和工作有效覆盖，有助于加强党对基层治理的全面领导，将党的领导优势转化为加强和改进基层治理的实际成效。加强“三新”党建，提升基层治理效能，是进一步夯实党的执政基础和国家治理根基，推动新时代社会工作高质量发展的题中应有之义。

1. Improving the Institutional Mechanisms for Party Building in the “Three New” Sectors

1.健全“三新”党建工作体制机制

The report of the 20th National Congress of the CPC [2]2 The 20th National Congress of the CPC: the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, held in October 2022. points out that “Party leadership is comprehensive, systematic, and holistic; it must be implemented comprehensively, systematically, and holistically.” Party building leading grassroots governance is a distinctive advantage of grassroots governance with Chinese characteristics and is also a systematic project. We should further improve the institutional mechanisms for Party building in the “Three New” sectors, and through an overall institutional arrangement of “comprehensive leadership—systematic advancement—coordinated operation—responsibility implementation,” perfect the system of the Party’s comprehensive leadership over grassroots governance.

党的二十大报告指出，“党的领导是全面的、系统的、整体的，必须全面、系统、整体加以落实”。党建引领基层治理是中国特色基层治理的显著优势，也是一项系统工程。应进一步健全“三新”党建体制机制，通过“全面领导—系统推进—协同运作—责任落实”的整体制度安排，完善党全面领导基层治理制度。

Streamline the management system for Party building work in the “Three New” sectors and strengthen the Party’s comprehensive leadership. Only by streamlining the institutional mechanisms can we ensure that Party leadership is advanced comprehensively, systematically, and holistically. Party committees (leading Party groups) at all levels must take the lead in Party building work in the “Three New” sectors, conducting analysis and judgment on major issues and providing overall guidance on major strategies. Focusing on coordinating policies, resources, projects, and personnel, we should build a Party building work mechanism for the “Three New” sectors that is connected from top to bottom, with clear responsibilities, organic linkages, and coordinated strength. Innovate institutional design and improve the system of coordination between different sectors and social participation under Party leadership. Establish and improve work systems such as special task forces, joint meetings, contact and supervision, and Party building assessments, to consolidate responsibilities and match powers and duties, ensuring the overall advancement of Party building work in the “Three New” sectors. Clarify the relationships among the government, industries, and localities, and promote the establishment of a work pattern featuring coordination among various government departments, industry entities fulfilling their duties and responsibilities, and broad participation from social forces, forming a strong synergy for Party building in the “Three New” sectors to lead grassroots governance, and using key points to drive overall improvement in grassroots governance levels.

理顺“三新”党建工作管理体制，加强党的全面领导。理顺体制机制，才能确保党的领导全面、系统、整体推进。各级党委（党组）要统领“三新”党建工作，做好重大问题的分析研判和重大战略的统筹指导。以统筹政策、资源、项目、力量等为重点，构建上下贯通、责任明晰、有机衔接、协调有力的“三新”党建工作机制。创新制度设计，完善党领导下的条块协同与社会参与制度。建立和完善工作专班、联席会议、联系包抓、党建考核等工作制度，压实责任、匹配权责，保证“三新”党建工作整体推进。厘清政府、行业、属地多方关系，推动建立各政府部门协同、行业主体履职担责、社会力量广泛参与的工作格局，形成“三新”党建引领基层治理的强大合力，以点带面促进基层治理水平整体提升。

Improve the coordination mechanism for Party building work in the “Three New” sectors and integrate it into the overall pattern of grassroots governance. Optimize the operational mechanism for Party building work in the “Three New” sectors, deeply embedding this work into the grassroots governance coordination system, accelerating the formation of a new pattern of Party building in the “Three New” sectors featuring joint management, individual responsibility, and close cooperation, and fully leveraging the role of the coordination mechanism for Party building leading grassroots governance. First, innovate work models and explore regional coordination and sectoral collaboration models for Party building in the “Three New” sectors. Firmly grasp Party-building service positions in parks, business districts, and office buildings, and consolidate the coordination responsibilities of regional Party organizations; establish industry Party committees in key industries, and while strengthening industry governance, promote the coverage of industry resources to the region; focus on new employment groups, with joint efforts from regions and sectors, design and create friendly scenarios, enhance diversified services, and stimulate co-governance vitality through systematic special actions, promoting the active integration of new employment groups into grassroots governance. Second, extend the application of mechanisms, extending mechanisms such as “whistle reporting” [3]3 “Whistle reporting” (吹哨报到): a grassroots governance mechanism where lower-level units “blow the whistle” to report problems, and higher-level departments “report for duty” to respond and resolve them. to the field of Party building in the “Three New” sectors, improving work efficiency in this area, further strengthening the “hub” role of township and street grassroots governance, and striving to resolve problems at the grassroots level. Finally, expand the scope of coordination, incorporating Party building work in the “Three New” sectors into the Party building coordination system, admitting Party organizations from the “Three New” sectors into the Party building coordination committee, further building a two-way linkage response system, more broadly collecting needs, integrating resources, and coordinating efforts to jointly solve grassroots governance difficulties.

完善“三新”党建工作协调机制，融入基层治理整体格局。优化“三新”党建工作运行机制，使“三新”党建工作深度嵌入基层治理协同体系，加快形成齐抓共管、各负其责、密切协作的“三新”党建工作新格局，充分发挥党建引领基层治理协调机制作用。首先，创新工作模式，探索“三新”党建的区域统筹、领域协同工作模式。牢牢抓住园区、商圈、楼宇等党群服务阵地，压实区域党组织统筹责任；在重点行业成立行业党委，在加强行业治理的同时，推动行业领域资源向区域覆盖；聚焦新就业群体，区域、领域齐发力，设计打造友好场景、提升多元服务、激发共治活力等系统性专项行动，推动新就业群体主动融入基层治理。其次，延伸机制运用，将“吹哨报到”等机制延伸到“三新”党建领域，提高“三新”党建中的工作效率，进一步强化乡镇街道基层治理“枢纽”作用，努力将问题解决在基层。最后，拓展统筹范围，将“三新”党建工作纳入党建工作协调体系，吸纳“三新”领域党组织进入党建协调委员会，进一步构建双向联动的响应体系，更广泛地收集需求、整合资源、统筹协调，合力破解基层治理难题。

2. Advancing the Coverage of Party Organizations and Party Work in the “Three New” Sectors

2.推进“三新”领域党的组织和工作覆盖

The grassroots level is the foundation of the Party’s governance and the source of its strength, and it is the “last kilometer” for implementing the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee. Actively advancing the coverage of Party organizations and Party work in the “Three New” sectors is of great significance for consolidating the foundation of grassroots governance.

基层是党的执政之基、力量之源，是贯彻落实党中央决策部署的“最后一公里”。积极推进“三新”领域党的组织和工作覆盖，对夯实基层治理根基具有重要意义。

Innovate the methods for establishing Party organizations and embed them into the grassroots full-coverage grid management system. A tight organizational system is the Party’s advantage and strength. The grid management system led by Party building emphasizes the embedding of Party organizations, using the Party’s leading power to promote the re-organization of society and reshape the main structure of grassroots governance. Relatively speaking, the “Three New” sectors have a lower degree of organization, requiring further optimization of organizational establishment methods. Relying on the grid management system, innovate the methods for establishing Party organizations and their activities. Based on the division of the grid system, dynamically adjust according to grid management information, and explore the establishment of a full life-cycle dynamic establishment and management mechanism for Party organizations, following the path of “registration and cultivation—entry management—development and empowerment—exit supervision.” On the basis of establishing Party organizations by unit, industry, and region, explore open-ended methods for establishing joint industry and joint regional Party organizations to ensure the stability of Party organization coverage within a changing structure. Establish a working mechanism for grid workers to contact new employment groups. Based on the movement and development trajectories of new employment groups, establish functional Party organizations according to principles such as establishment by geographical space, by service needs, and by participation fields, gradually achieving full coverage of Party organizations.

创新党组织设置方式，嵌入基层全域网格化管理体系。严密的组织体系是党的优势所在、力量所在。党建引领的网格化管理体系，强调通过党组织嵌入，以党的引领力推动社会再组织化，重塑基层治理主体结构。相对而言，“三新”领域组织化程度较低，需要进一步优化组织设置方式。依托网格化管理体系，创新党组织设置和活动方式。在网格体系划分基础上，根据网格管理信息动态调整，探索建立“登记培育—进驻管理—发展赋能—退出监督”的全生命周期党组织动态设置与管理机制。在按照单位建、行业建、区域建等方式建立党组织的基础上，探索开放型行业联合和区域联合党组织设置方式，保证党的组织覆盖在变动结构中的稳定性。建立网格员联系新就业群体工作机制，根据新就业群体行动与发展轨迹，按照依地域空间建、依服务需求建、依参与领域建等原则，建立功能型党组织，逐步实现党的组织全覆盖。

Improve social mobilization and mass participation mechanisms. The proportion of Party members in the “Three New” sectors is relatively low, and the foundation is relatively weak. It is necessary to further innovate the methods of Party work coverage, strengthen the embedding of Party functions, and continuously enhance the Party’s appeal, cohesion, and influence. Improve the forms of work coverage that combine online and offline methods. Adhere to the work approach of Party building leading group building and group building promoting Party building, fully leverage the bridging and bonding role of mass organizations such as trade unions, the Communist Youth League, and women’s federations, carry out Party work, strengthen political leadership and political absorption, cultivate activists and develop Party members, and promptly establish Party organizations when conditions are ripe. At the same time, be adept at using internet technology and information methods to carry out Party building work, establish a “one-stop” online Party building service platform, expand the forms of Party building work in the digital era, improve incentive mechanisms, and innovate the forms of Party building activities according to time and place, achieving effective mobilization of Party members and the masses in the “Three New” sectors.

健全社会动员与群众参与机制。“三新”党建领域党员比例相对较低，基础相对薄弱，需要进一步创新党的工作覆盖方式，强化党建功能嵌入，不断增强党的号召力凝聚力影响力。完善线上线下相结合的工作覆盖形式。坚持党建带群建、群建促党建的工作思路，充分发挥工会、共青团、妇联等群团组织的桥梁纽带作用，开展党的工作，强化政治引领和政治吸纳，培养积极分子和发展党员，条件成熟时及时建立党组织。同时，善于运用互联网技术和信息化手段开展党建工作，建立“一站式”线上党建服务平台，拓展数字化时代党建工作形式，完善激励机制，因时因地创新党建活动形式，实现对“三新”领域党员群众的有效动员。

3. Expanding the Channels for Party Organizations and Party Members in the “Three New” Sectors to Play Their Roles

3.拓展“三新”党组织和党员发挥作用的途径

Party building leading grassroots governance means transforming the Party’s political advantages, organizational advantages, and advantages in maintaining close ties with the masses into powerful effectiveness in grassroots social governance. New economic organizations, new social organizations, and new employment groups play a dual role as both subjects and objects of grassroots governance. Fully leveraging the role of Party organizations and Party members in the “Three New” sectors is an important way to improve the grassroots self-governance mechanism, promote joint contribution, co-governance, and shared benefits, and enhance the effectiveness of grassroots governance.

党建引领基层治理，就要把党的政治优势、组织优势、密切联系群众优势转化为基层社会治理的强大效能。新经济组织、新社会组织和新就业群体兼具基层治理的主体与客体双重角色，充分发挥“三新”党组织和党员作用，是健全基层自治机制、推动共建共治共享、提升基层治理效能的重要途径。

Innovate Party member education, services, and management by staying close to the needs of the groups. Expand diversified education models to effectively unite grassroots Party members. Through live streaming, micro-courses, online tests, and other methods, break the time and space limitations of learning, promoting the quality and efficiency of Party member education in the “Three New” sectors; emphasize practical and experiential education, carrying out “walking large Party lessons” [4]4 “Walking large Party lessons” (行走的大党课): a form of experiential Party education that involves on-site visits and practical activities rather than traditional classroom lectures. in various forms such as visits, experiences, and study tours, so that the Party’s innovative theories are truly integrated into the mind and manifested in action. Carry out refined Party-mass services to extensively mobilize Party members and the masses for joint contribution, co-governance, and shared benefits. Establish a working mechanism for regular investigation and baseline surveys and timely data updates, accurately identify the distribution and changes in the demands of Party members and the masses in the “Three New” sectors, and proactively connect with services and guarantees. Strengthen the functions of Party organizations, promote the improvement of labor rights protection and the filling of service gaps, focus on solving the urgent, difficult, and anxious problems of Party members and the masses, and make Party organizations the main channel for reflecting social conditions and public opinion.

贴近群体需求创新党员教育服务管理。拓展多样化教育模式，有效凝聚基层党员。通过直播、微课、在线测试等方式，打破学习时间和空间限制，促进“三新”党员教育提质增效；注重实践与体验式教育，以参观、体验、研学等多种形式开展“行走的大党课”，使党的创新理论真正融会于心、见之于行。开展精细化党群服务，广泛动员党员群众共建共治共享。建立定期调查摸底、及时更新数据工作机制，精确识别“三新”领域党员群众分布情况与诉求变化，主动对接服务与保障工作。强化党组织功能，促进完善劳动权益保障、补齐服务短板，着力解决党员群众急难愁盼问题，使党组织成为反映社情民意的主渠道。

Centering on the needs of industry development, carry out Party organization activities to fully stimulate the vitality of development and the motivation for participation in grassroots governance in the “Three New” fields. [5]5 The “Three New” fields (三新领域) refer to new economic organizations, new social organizations, and new employment groups, which are key targets for Party building in the New Era. Pay attention to the pursuit of economic benefits and social benefits by subjects in the “Three New” fields, align with the deep-level development needs of enterprises and social organizations, and, by means such as regionalized Party-building alliances, promote resource sharing, strengthen the identification of goals among multiple subjects, and enhance the agency and productivity of the grassroots governance network. Explore new models such as Party building along the industrial chain, Party building in trade associations and chambers of commerce, Party building in social organization service centers, and Party building in alliances of similar new employment groups, give play to the pivotal role of industry organizations (platforms), and push industry Party building work forward in depth. At the same time, using Party organizations as hubs, establish a contact mechanism among localities, industries, and enterprises (social organizations), regularly hold negotiation meetings and promotion meetings, fully align with the social development needs of localities, and enhance the public nature and positive externality effects of industry development.

围绕行业发展需要开展党组织活动，充分激发“三新”领域发展活力与基层治理参与动力。关注“三新”领域主体经济效益与社会效益追求，对接企业和社会组织深层次发展需求，借助区域化党建联盟等形式，促进资源共享，强化多元主体目标认同，提高基层治理网络的能动性与生产性。探索产业链党建、行业协会商会党建、社会组织服务中心党建、同类新就业群体联盟党建等新模式，发挥行业组织（平台）中枢作用，使行业党建工作向纵深推进。同时，以党组织为枢纽，建立属地、行业、企业（社会组织）联系机制，定期开展洽谈会、推介会，充分对接属地社会发展需求，提高行业发展的公共性与正外部性效应。

Focus on the characteristics of emerging fields to deepen joint Party-building actions. Emerging fields are important arenas connecting the expression of the masses’ demands with the action response of grassroots governments; the characteristics of emerging fields should be highlighted to deepen joint Party-building actions and advance the guidance of grassroots governance by Party building. On the one hand, by establishing deliberative platforms such as “special committees,” “street committees,” and “building affairs councils,” build interconnected and interactive bonds. Relying on Party organizations, establish bottom-up mechanisms for expressing demands and collecting problems, as well as top-down mechanisms for policy transmission and resource sinking, regularly hold symposiums, joint meetings, and consultative meetings to hear opinions from the “Three New” fields, and extensively carry out activities such as “sending policies, sending services, and sending warmth,” improve the mechanisms for problem discovery and response, make up for shortcomings in grassroots governance, and enhance the effectiveness of grassroots governance. On the other hand, innovate the forms of regionalized joint Party-building to increase the endogenous motivation for co-governance. Carry out joint Party-building and co-building, integrate enterprises, research institutions, and local units around the industrial chain within the region, integrate social organizations, educational institutions, and local units around the service chain within the region, closely combine the development ecosystem of emerging fields to carry out joint activities, and achieve shared development. Promote governance participation models such as public welfare and charity, technical support, professional volunteering, and risk investigation, guide Party members and the masses in emerging fields to give play to their professional advantages and expertise in grassroots governance, enhance action capabilities, and truly build a grassroots governance community where everyone has responsibility, everyone fulfills their duty, and everyone enjoys the benefits.

聚焦新兴领域特点深化党建联建行动。新兴领域是连接群众诉求表达和基层政府行动响应的重要场域，应突出新兴领域特点深化党建联建行动，推进以党建引领基层治理。一方面，通过搭建“专委会”“街委会”“楼事会”等议事平台，建立互联互动纽带。依托党组织，建立自下而上的诉求表达、问题收集机制，以及自上而下的政策传导、资源下沉机制，定期召开座谈会、联席会、协商会听取“三新”领域意见，并广泛开展“送政策、送服务、送温暖”活动，健全问题发现与回应机制，补齐基层治理短板，提高基层治理效能。另一方面，创新区域化党建联建形式，提高共治内生动力。开展党建联建共建，围绕区域内产业链整合企业、科研机构和辖区单位等主体，依据区域内服务链整合社会组织、教育机构和辖区单位等主体，紧密结合新兴领域发展生态系统开展联合活动，实现共享发展。推广公益慈善、技术支持、专业志愿、风险排查等治理参与模式，引导新兴领域内党员群众在基层治理中发挥专业优势与特长，提升行动能力，真正构建起人人有责、人人尽责、人人享有的基层治理共同体。
