The Anti-Corruption Struggle in the New Era Has Won the Party Historical Initiative

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the CPC that, entering the New Era, in the face of the prominent problems of Party conduct, clean governance, and the anti-corruption struggle, we have adhered to the principle that where there is corruption, it must be punished, and where there is graft, it must be eliminated, continuously purifying the cadre ranks, safeguarding the Party’s image, consolidating the red political power, and winning the historical initiative to ensure that the Party never changes its nature, its color, or its flavor, and winning the historical initiative for the Party to unite and lead the entire people in the common struggle for the great cause of building a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. A profound understanding of this important论断 is of great significance for us to strengthen our confidence, maintain sobriety, advance the anti-corruption struggle in depth, and lead the great social revolution through the great self-revolution.

习近平总书记在二十届中央纪委四次全会上指出，进入新时代，面对党风廉政建设和反腐败斗争的突出问题，我们坚持有腐必反、有贪必肃，不断纯洁干部队伍，维护了党的形象，巩固了红色江山，赢得了确保党不变质、不变色、不变味的历史主动，赢得了党团结带领全体人民为强国建设、民族复兴伟业共同奋斗的历史主动。深刻领会这一重要论断，对于我们坚定信心、保持清醒，纵深推进反腐败斗争，以伟大自我革命引领伟大社会革命，具有重要意义。

The anti-corruption struggle in the New Era has won the historical initiative to ensure that the Party never changes its nature, its color, or its flavor

新时代反腐败斗争赢得了确保党不变质、不变色、不变味的历史主动

Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, our Party, with a high degree of self-awareness of self-revolution, has severely punished corruption, promptly removed the viruses eroding the Party’s healthy organism, continuously improved its political immunity, and significantly enhanced the Party’s creativity, cohesion, and combat effectiveness.

党的十八大以来，我们党以自我革命的高度自觉，严厉惩治腐败，及时清除侵蚀党的健康肌体的病毒，不断提高政治免疫力，党的创造力凝聚力战斗力得到显著增强。

The anti-corruption struggle in the New Era has inherited and developed the Party’s advanced character of resisting corruption and preventing degeneration. Ruthlessly eliminating corrupt elements within the Party and maintaining the purity of the Party membership are essential requirements of a Marxist political party and an important manifestation of its advanced nature. A Marxist political party takes the complete liberation of all humanity as its highest ideal and has no special interests of its own beyond the interests of the working class and the broadest masses of the people. This nature determines that the Party is irreconcilable with corruption and absolutely does not allow corrupt elements to hide within the Party. The classical Marxist writers have made many incisive expositions on this point. Marx said, “Our Party excels in this 19th century because of its immaculate purity.” [1]1 "Golden-armor talisman" (丹书铁券): A historical reference to a document issued by emperors to meritorious officials, granting them immunity from punishment for certain crimes, symbolizing privilege beyond the law. Engels pointed out, “When all kinds of decadent and vain elements can strut about without hindrance, it is time to abandon the policy of concealment and compromise, and not be afraid of disputes and quarrels if necessary. A party that would rather tolerate any fool lording it over the Party arbitrarily than dare to openly refuse to acknowledge him is a party without a future.” [2]2 "Iron-hat king" (铁帽子王): A term from the Qing dynasty referring to princes whose titles were hereditary and could not be demoted, used here metaphorically to denote untouchable, high-ranking officials. Lenin said, “As long as there is the phenomenon of bribery and corruption, as long as there is the possibility of bribery and corruption, there can be no talk of politics.” “Under conditions where bribery and corruption are tolerated and prevalent, implementing laws will only produce worse results.” [3]3 "Safe deposit box" (保险箱): A colloquial term for a position or entity considered immune from investigation or legal scrutiny.

新时代反腐败斗争传承和发展了党拒腐防变的先进品格。毫不留情地清除党内腐败分子，保持党员队伍的纯洁，是马克思主义政党的本质要求，也是其先进性的重要体现。马克思主义政党以彻底解放全人类为最高理想，除了工人阶级和最广大人民的利益，没有自己的特殊利益，这一性质决定了党同腐败水火不容，决不允许腐败分子藏身党内。对此，马克思主义经典作家作过许多精辟论述。马克思说，“我们的党在这个19世纪由于它的纯洁无瑕而出类拔萃”。恩格斯指出，“当各种腐朽分子和好虚荣的分子可以毫无阻碍地大出风头的时候，就该抛弃掩饰和调和的政策，只要有必要，即使发生争论和吵闹也不怕。一个政党宁愿容忍任何一个蠢货在党内肆意地作威作福，而不敢公开拒绝承认他，这样的党是没有前途的”。列宁说，“只要有贪污受贿这种现象，只要有贪污受贿的可能，就谈不上政治”“在容许贪污受贿和此风盛行的条件下，实施法律只会产生更坏的结果”。

Since its founding, the Communist Party of China has been highly vigilant against and resolutely punished corruption. This is an important historical experience for our Party to always win the heartfelt support of the people and always stay at the forefront of the times, and it is also a red gene that our Party has consistently upheld and passed down from generation to generation. During the period of the New Democratic Revolution, our Party used strict discipline and severe measures to resolutely clean out corrupt elements from the revolutionary ranks. In 1926, the Central Committee of the CPC issued the “Circular of the Enlarged Meeting of the Central Committee – Resolutely Cleanse Corrupt Elements.” In 1927, the Fifth National Congress of the CPC elected the Central Supervisory Commission. In 1933, the Central Executive Committee of the Chinese Soviet Republic issued the 26th Instruction “On Punishing Corrupt and Wasteful Behavior,” which stipulated that “those who embezzle public funds of 500 yuan or more shall be sentenced to death.” In 1938, the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region promulgated the “Provisional Regulations of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region on Punishing Corruption,” which stipulated that “those whose corruption amount is 500 yuan or more shall be sentenced to death or fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years.” At the beginning of the founding of New China, to consolidate the new political power, maintain the purity of the Party membership, and prevent weak-willed elements within the Party from being knocked down by sugar-coated bullets, our Party promptly carried out rectification campaigns and the “Three-Anti” and “Five-Anti” movements, [4]4 "吃拿卡要" (chī ná kǎ yào) is a Chinese four-character idiom referring to the corrupt practices of officials demanding bribes, gifts, or favors in the course of their duties. resolutely eliminated corrupt elements, and executed Liu Qingshan and Zhang Zishan. [5]5 "雁过拔毛" (yàn guò bá máo) is a Chinese idiom meaning to take advantage of every opportunity to seek personal gain, like plucking feathers from a passing wild goose. Comrade Mao Zedong said, “Major embezzlers are enemies of the people; they are no longer our comrades or friends, so they should be resolutely, thoroughly, cleanly, and completely eliminated, without the slightest hesitation or sympathy.” During the new period of reform and opening up and socialist modernization, in response to the new situations and problems faced by Party conduct and clean governance under market economy conditions, our Party focused on improving the system for punishing and preventing corruption, unremittingly opposed corruption, and made important progress in promoting the resolution of two major historical issues: improving the Party’s governance capacity and leadership level, and improving its ability to resist corruption, prevent degeneration, and withstand risks.

中国共产党自成立之日起，就高度警惕并坚决惩治腐败，这是我们党始终赢得人民衷心拥护、始终走在时代前列的重要历史经验，也是我们党一以贯之、代代相传的红色基因。新民主主义革命时期，我们党以严明的纪律、严厉的措施坚决清理革命队伍中的贪污腐化分子。1926年，中共中央发布了《中央扩大会议通告——坚决清洗贪污腐化分子》，1927年党的五大选举产生了中央监察委员会。1933年，中华苏维埃政府中央执行委员会颁发了《关于惩治贪污浪费行为》的第26号训令，其中规定“贪污公款在500元以上者，处以死刑”。1938年，陕甘宁边区颁布《陕甘宁边区惩治贪污暂行条例》，其中规定“贪污数目在500元以上者，处死刑或5年以上之有期徒刑”。新中国成立之初，为巩固新生政权、保持党员队伍的纯洁，防止党内意志薄弱分子被糖衣炮弹击倒，我们党及时开展整风整党和“三反”“五反”运动，坚决清除贪污腐败分子，处决刘青山、张子善。毛泽东同志说，“大贪污犯是人民的敌人，他们已经不是我们的同志或朋友，故应坚决彻底干净全部地将他们肃清，而不应有丝毫的留恋或同情。”改革开放和社会主义现代化建设新时期，针对市场经济条件下党风廉政建设面临的新情况新问题，我们党着力完善惩治和预防腐败体系，坚持不懈反对腐败，推动解决提高党的执政能力和领导水平、提高拒腐防变和抵御风险能力两大历史性课题取得重要进展。

Entering the New Era, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, with the mission and responsibility of

进入新时代，以习近平同志为核心的党中央以“得罪千百人、不负十四亿”的使命担当，坚持无禁区、全覆盖、零容忍，坚持重遏制、强高压、长震慑，坚持受贿行贿一起查，坚持有案必查、有腐必惩，以猛药去疴、重典治乱的决心，以前所未有的力度“打虎”、“拍蝇”、“猎狐”，取得反腐败斗争的显著成效，使党拒腐防变的先进品格得到进一步发扬光大，真正做到历经沧桑而初心不改、饱经风霜而本色依旧。

The anti-corruption struggle in the New Era has enhanced the Party's ability to resist corruption and prevent degeneration. In response to the new requirements for Party building posed by new changes in the situation and tasks, our Party has actively explored effective pathways for self-purification, self-improvement, self-renovation, and self-enhancement, vigorously promoted theoretical innovation on the basis of practice, and continuously deepened its understanding of the laws governing the governance of the Communist Party and the laws of the Party's own construction. This has resulted in the formation of Xi Jinping's important thought on Party building, which profoundly answers the major epochal question of what kind of long-term governing Marxist party to build and how to build it; and the formation of Xi Jinping's important thought on the Party's self-revolution, which profoundly answers the major questions of why self-revolution is necessary, why it is possible, and how to advance it. These important thoughts provide scientific guidance for comprehensively and strictly governing the Party, further enhancing the scientific nature, foresight, systematicity, and creativity of Party governance and management. Our Party has become more experienced in its struggle against all kinds of corrupt elements, its grasp of the laws and characteristics of the anti-corruption struggle has become increasingly precise, the methods for detecting and investigating corruption issues have become more scientific, and the means have become more abundant. A complete set of effective ideas, measures, and methods for punishing and preventing corruption has been found, forming a system and mechanism for simultaneously promoting the deterrence of not daring to be corrupt, the constraint of not being able to be corrupt, and the consciousness of not wanting to be corrupt. The anti-corruption struggle has become more methodical, more forceful, and more effective. The practice of the anti-corruption struggle has forged an iron-disciplined team of discipline inspection and supervision personnel who are loyal, clean, responsible, and daring and skilled in struggle, enhancing the ability of Party organizations at all levels and Party members and cadres to resist corruption and prevent degeneration.

新时代反腐败斗争增强了党拒腐防变的能力。我们党根据形势任务新变化对党的建设提出的新要求，积极探索自我净化、自我完善、自我革新、自我提高的有效途径，大力推进实践基础上的理论创新，不断深化对共产党执政规律、党的自身建设规律的认识，形成习近平总书记关于党的建设的重要思想，深刻回答了建设什么样的长期执政的马克思主义政党、怎样建设长期执政的马克思主义政党的重大时代课题；形成习近平总书记关于党的自我革命的重要思想，深刻回答了为什么要自我革命、为什么能自我革命、怎样推进自我革命等重大问题。这些重要思想为深入推进全面从严治党提供了科学指引，进一步增强了管党治党的科学性、预见性、系统性、创造性。我们党同形形色色腐败分子作斗争的经验更加丰富，把握反腐败斗争的规律和特点越来越精准，发现和查处腐败问题的方式越来越科学、手段越来越丰富，找到了一整套惩治和预防腐败的有效思路、举措和办法，形成了一体推进不敢腐、不能腐、不想腐的体制机制，反腐败斗争更有章法、更有力度、更有成效。反腐败斗争的实践，锻造了一支忠诚干净担当、敢于善于斗争的纪检监察铁军，提高了各级党组织和党员干部拒腐防变的能力。

The anti-corruption struggle in the New Era has fostered a powerful momentum for the Party to resist corruption and prevent degeneration. Facts have eloquently proven that in contemporary China, there is no one who cannot be moved, no "golden-armor talisman" [1]1 "Golden-armor talisman" (丹书铁券): A historical reference to a document issued by emperors to meritorious officials, granting them immunity from punishment for certain crimes, symbolizing privilege beyond the law. granting immunity from punishment, no "iron-hat king" [2]2 "Iron-hat king" (铁帽子王): A term from the Qing dynasty referring to princes whose titles were hereditary and could not be demoted, used here metaphorically to denote untouchable, high-ranking officials., no so-called "safe deposit box" [3]3 "Safe deposit box" (保险箱): A colloquial term for a position or entity considered immune from investigation or legal scrutiny., and no forbidden zone that cannot be investigated or is beyond investigation. This has become a universal consensus across the entire Party and society. Through more than a decade of anti-corruption struggle practice, the initiative of Party organizations at all levels in preventing and combating corruption, the vigilance of the vast majority of Party members and cadres regarding integrity risks, and the enthusiasm of the people for supervision have all been greatly enhanced. The value concept of "honoring integrity and disgracing corruption" has taken deep root in people's hearts. Promoting clean cadres, clean government, and clean politics through the anti-corruption struggle, and ensuring that the Party does not change its nature, color, or character, has become and will continue to be a major epochal issue in Party governance and management, a major political responsibility for all Party members, and a common aspiration of all the people. The momentum thus formed will be irresistible and overwhelming, making it impossible for corrupt elements to feel at ease, find a place to hide, or escape detection.

新时代反腐败斗争推动形成了党拒腐防变的强大势能。事实雄辩地证明，在当代中国，没有动不了的人，没有免罪的“丹书铁券”，没有“铁帽子王”，没有所谓“保险箱”，没有不能查、查不了的禁区，这已成为全党全社会的普遍共识。经过十多年反腐败斗争的实践，各级党组织防腐反腐的主动性、广大党员干部对廉洁风险的警惕性、人民群众监督的积极性都极大增强，“廉荣贪耻”的价值观念深入人心。通过反腐败斗争推动实现干部清正、政府清廉、政治清明，确保党不变质、不变色、不变味，已经并将继续成为管党治党的重大时代课题、全体党员的重大政治责任、全体人民的共同期盼，由此形成的势能必将锐不可当、所向披靡，让腐败分子难以安心、无处藏身、无所遁形。

The anti-corruption struggle in the New Era has won the historical initiative for the Party to unite and lead all the people in the common struggle for building a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

新时代反腐败斗争赢得了党团结带领全体人民为强国建设、民族复兴伟业共同奋斗的历史主动

To forge iron, one must be strong oneself. Tempered by the anti-corruption struggle in the New Era, the Party's political leadership, ideological guidance, mass organization, and social appeal have been significantly enhanced, providing a strong guarantee for comprehensively advancing the building of a strong country and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese-path modernization.

打铁必须自身硬。经过新时代反腐败斗争的淬炼，党的政治领导力、思想引领力、群众组织力、社会号召力显著增强，为以中国式现代化全面推进强国建设、民族复兴伟业提供了坚强保证。

The anti-corruption struggle in the New Era has made the Party’s leadership stronger and more effective. Corruption weakens Party leadership, undermines the Party’s combat effectiveness, and obstructs the implementation of the Party’s theories, lines, principles, and policies. Our Party, focusing on resolutely safeguarding the authority of the Party Central Committee and its centralized, unified leadership, has strengthened political supervision, making the implementation of the Party Central Committee’s major decisions and arrangements and General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions and directives the top priority. It

新时代反腐败斗争使党的领导更加坚强有力。腐败弱化党的领导，削弱党的战斗力，妨碍党的理论和路线方针政策的执行。我们党着眼于坚决维护党中央权威和集中统一领导，加强政治监督，把落实党中央重大决策部署和习近平总书记重要指示批示作为重中之重，坚决查处违反政治纪律和政治规矩的行为，有效防止有令不行、有禁不止，做选择、搞变通、打折扣等问题，打通贯彻执行中的堵点淤点难点，确保党中央令行禁止。2024年，全国各级纪检监察机关共处分违反政治纪律人员1.2万人。坚决查处“七个有之”问题，深挖细查“两面人”，清除党、国家、军队内部存在的严重隐患，保证了党的团结统一。坚决查处政治问题和经济问题交织的腐败案件，有效防止利益集团、权势团体、特权阶层渗透干预、攫取国家权力，保证党始终按照人民的共同愿望、根本利益执掌政权，保证各级领导干部始终把人民赋予的权力用来为人民谋利益。

The anti-corruption struggle in the New Era has injected strong positive energy into economic and social development. Fairness and justice are important conditions for healthy economic and social development, and corruption is the greatest injustice. Severely punishing corruption is a powerful measure to create a market-oriented, law-based, and internationalized business environment, and to uphold and promote social fairness and justice. Through vigorous rectification of corruption in sectors with concentrated power, abundant funds, and rich resources—such as finance, state-owned enterprises, energy, tobacco, pharmaceuticals, sports, infrastructure projects, and bidding and tendering—and through severe punishment of corrupt practices and conduct issues like "eating, taking, carding, and demanding" [4]4 "吃拿卡要" (chī ná kǎ yào) is a Chinese four-character idiom referring to the corrupt practices of officials demanding bribes, gifts, or favors in the course of their duties. and "plucking feathers from every goose that passes" [5]5 "雁过拔毛" (yàn guò bá máo) is a Chinese idiom meaning to take advantage of every opportunity to seek personal gain, like plucking feathers from a passing wild goose., efforts have been made to break down market barriers and local protectionism, to compress the space for rent-setting and rent-seeking, to reduce improper government intervention, and to build a new type of clean and honest government-business relationship that is both close and clear. This has removed obstacles to the market playing a decisive role in resource allocation and to the better functioning of government. Through the serious investigation and punishment of a series of major cases in the financial sector, financial risk hazards have been promptly eliminated, and the bottom line of preventing systemic financial risks has been held. Through punishing misconduct and corruption in areas closely related to the people, such as education, healthcare, elderly care and social security, ecological and environmental protection, workplace safety, food and drug safety, and funeral services, the people's "pension money" and "life-saving money" have been safeguarded, the bottom line of people's livelihoods has been held, the vital interests of the people have been effectively protected, and the development of people's livelihood undertakings has been strongly promoted. Through deepening the reform of the discipline inspection and supervision system [6]6 The discipline inspection and supervision system refers to the Party's internal disciplinary oversight bodies (Discipline Inspection Commissions) and the state's supervisory organs (Supervisory Commissions), which work jointly to enforce Party discipline and state laws against corruption and misconduct., improving the Party and state supervision systems, promoting the improvement and development of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, and advancing the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity, the effectiveness of national governance has been effectively enhanced. It can be said that the anti-corruption struggle is both a "barrier remover" and "booster" for economic and social development, and a guardian and promoter of social fairness and justice. Without a strong anti-corruption campaign, it would be difficult to write a new chapter in the "two miracles" [7]7 "Two miracles" refers to the dual achievements of rapid economic development and long-term social stability that China has maintained since reform and opening up. of rapid economic development and long-term social stability.

新时代反腐败斗争为经济社会发展注入强大正能量。公平正义是经济社会健康发展的重要条件，腐败是最大的不公。严惩腐败，是营造市场化、法治化、国际化营商环境，维护和促进社会公平正义的有力举措。通过强力整治金融、国有企业、能源、烟草、医药、体育、基建工程和招标投标等权力集中、资金密集、资源富集领域腐败，严厉惩治吃拿卡要、雁过拔毛等腐败问题和作风问题，着力破除市场壁垒、地方保护主义，着力压缩设租寻租空间、减少政府不当干预，着力构建亲清统一的新型政商关系，扫除了妨碍市场在资源配置中起决定性作用、更好发挥政府作用的障碍。通过严肃查处金融领域一系列重大案件，及时消除金融风险隐患，守住了不发生系统性金融风险的底线。通过惩治教育医疗、养老社保、生态环保、安全生产、食品药品安全、殡葬等领域群众身边不正之风和腐败问题，看好人民群众的养老钱、救命钱，守住民生底线，切实维护人民群众切身利益，有力促进了民生事业发展。通过深化纪检监察体制改革，健全党和国家监督体系，推动完善和发展中国特色社会主义制度、推进国家治理体系和治理能力现代化，有效提升了国家治理效能。可以说，反腐败斗争既是经济社会发展的“除障机”“助推器”，又是社会公平正义的守护者、促进者。没有强力反腐，就难以续写经济快速发展和社会长期稳定“两大奇迹”的新篇章。

The anti-corruption struggle in the New Era has gathered the mighty force of all the people to jointly accomplish the great cause. Only by punishing evil and promoting good, and upholding justice, can people be of one mind and spirit, and strength be consolidated. Our Party has resolutely investigated and punished corruption in the selection and appointment of cadres, corrected unhealthy tendencies in this area, promoted a correct orientation for employing people, enabled the vast majority of Party members and cadres to focus wholeheartedly on their work without worrying about personal scheming, and boosted their spirit and drive in undertaking endeavors. It has adhered to the simultaneous investigation and treatment of corruption and misconduct, both tracing corruption from misconduct and investigating misconduct from corruption, digging deep into corruption issues such as interest transfer hidden behind unhealthy tendencies, promoting a completely new look in the Party's work style and government conduct, continuously improving social customs and public morals, constantly purifying the political ecosystem within the Party, and making relations between the Party and the masses and between cadres and the masses closer. It has resolutely opposed privileged thinking and privileged phenomena, severely investigated and punished "nepotistic corruption" and "yamen corruption" [8]8 "衙内腐败" (yá nèi fǔ bài) refers to corruption involving the children or relatives of high-ranking officials, analogous to the historical term "yamen" (government office) insiders., and eliminated the market for the erroneous idea that "when one person attains the Way, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" [9]9 "一人得道，鸡犬升天" (yī rén dé dào, jī quǎn shēng tiān) is a Chinese proverb meaning that when a person gains power or influence, their associates and dependents also benefit undeservedly.. Through the concrete actions and results of the anti-corruption struggle, our Party has further consolidated its ruling foundation, greatly united the hearts of the Party, the military, and the people, and created a vibrant situation where the hearts of the people turn to the Party and the whole world submits to its will.

新时代反腐败斗争汇聚了全体人民共襄伟业的磅礴力量。惩恶扬善、弘扬正义，方能心齐气顺、凝聚力量。我们党坚决查处选人用人方面的腐败问题，纠治选人用人上的不正之风，推动形成正确用人导向，使广大党员干部有全身谋事之心而无侧身谋人之虞，提振了党员干部干事创业精气神。坚持风腐同查同治，既由腐纠风、又由风查腐，深挖不正之风背后搞利益输送等腐败问题，推动党风政风焕然一新，社风民风持续向好，党内政治生态不断净化，党群干群关系更加密切。坚决反对特权思想和特权现象，严肃查处“裙带腐败”“衙内腐败”，让“一人得道，鸡犬升天”的错误思想没有市场。我们党以反腐败斗争的实际行动和成效，进一步厚植了党的执政根基，极大凝聚了党心军心民心，形成了众心向党、天下归心的生动局面。

Transforming Historical Initiative into a Powerful Driving Force for Deepening the Anti-Corruption Struggle

把历史主动转化为纵深推进反腐败斗争的强大动力

The historical initiative our Party has won in the anti-corruption struggle in the New Era has been hard-won and is precious. It has laid a solid foundation and provided favorable conditions for us to strengthen our confidence and advance with the momentum. We must, with the tenacity and perseverance of being "always on the road" [10]10 "永远在路上" (yǒng yuǎn zài lù shàng) is a key slogan of the anti-corruption campaign, meaning the struggle against corruption is a continuous, never-ending process., make precise, sustained, and coordinated efforts, and resolutely win the tough, protracted, and overall battle against corruption.

我们党在新时代反腐败斗争中取得的历史主动，来之不易、弥足珍贵，为我们坚定信心、乘势而进奠定了坚实基础，提供了有利条件。我们要以永远在路上的坚韧和执着，精准发力、持续发力、协同发力，坚决打赢反腐败斗争攻坚战、持久战、总体战。

Maintain strategic resolve. At present, the situation of the anti-corruption struggle remains severe and complex, and the task of eradicating the soil and conditions for breeding corruption remains arduous and heavy. The stock of corruption has not yet been cleared, and the increment continues to occur. Corruption involving collusion between government and business endangers the security of state power. Corruption is frequent and widespread in key positions and key sectors. Areas with concentrated power, abundant funds, and rich resources remain the hardest hit by corruption. Corruption around the people has not been eradicated. New types of corruption and covert corruption are constantly changing in form. The political ecosystem within the Party has not been completely purified. The supervision and restraint mechanisms for the exercise of power are not yet perfect. The remnants of feudal ideology still have influence. The decadent culture of capitalism continues to erode. In some localities and departments, the main responsibility for comprehensive and strict governance of the Party has not been fully implemented. In this regard, we must be exceptionally clear-headed, deeply recognizing that the anti-corruption struggle is a major political struggle that cannot be lost and must not be lost. It concerns whether the Party's original aspiration and founding mission can be upheld, whether the Party's nature and purpose can be maintained, whether ultimate victory can be achieved in the game between major powers, and whether Chinese-path modernization can be smoothly advanced. We must always maintain a profound sense of urgency. We must deeply recognize that our Party has grown and strengthened in the long-term struggle against corruption, and especially that it has won historical initiative in the anti-corruption struggle in the New Era. It is fully capable of achieving greater victories in the anti-corruption struggle on the new journey of the New Era. We must always maintain firm confidence in victory. We must deeply recognize that ideological understandings such as blind optimism, expecting a quick victory or to settle the matter in one campaign, passive pessimism believing that corruption cannot be fought and that fighting it only makes it worse, and confusing right and wrong by thinking that anti-corruption affects economic development or dampens the enthusiasm of cadres, are all erroneous and harmful. We must always maintain strong resilience, and effectively unify our thinking and actions with the Party Central Committee's scientific judgment and decision-making deployment on the anti-corruption struggle situation.

保持战略定力。当前，反腐败斗争形势仍然严峻复杂，铲除腐败滋生土壤和条件任务仍然艰巨繁重。腐败存量尚未清除，增量还在持续发生，政商勾连腐败危害国家政权安全，关键岗位、重点领域腐败易发多发，权力集中、资金密集、资源富集领域仍是腐败重灾区，群众身边腐败禁而未绝，新型腐败和隐性腐败花样翻新。党内政治生态尚未彻底净化，权力运行的监督制约机制尚不完善，封建思想残余仍有影响，资本主义腐朽文化不断侵蚀，一些地方和部门落实全面从严治党主体责任不力。对此，我们头脑要异常清醒，深刻认识到反腐败斗争是一场输不起也决不能输的重大政治斗争，事关党的初心使命能否坚守、党的性质宗旨能否保持、在大国博弈中能否最终取胜、中国式现代化能否顺利推进，始终保持深沉的忧患意识；深刻认识到我们党是在同腐败现象的长期斗争中发展壮大的，特别是在新时代反腐败斗争中赢得了历史主动，完全有能力在新时代新征程上取得反腐败斗争的更大胜利，始终坚定必胜的信心；深刻认识到盲目乐观，期待速战速胜、毕其功于一役，消极悲观，认为反不胜反、越反越腐，是非不辨，认为反腐败影响经济发展、挫伤干部积极性等思想认识都是错误的、有害的，始终保持强大的韧劲，切实把思想和行动统一到党中央对反腐败斗争形势的科学判断和决策部署上来。

Integrate the promotion of not daring to be corrupt, not being able to be corrupt, and not wanting to be corrupt. The integrated promotion of not daring to be corrupt, not being able to be corrupt, and not wanting to be corrupt reveals the basic laws of preventing and resisting corruption. It is not only the basic policy for the anti-corruption struggle but also an important way to eradicate the soil and conditions for breeding corruption. We must continue to intensify efforts on not daring to be corrupt, continue to strike hard, not flinch or fear the battle, not retreat or make concessions, always keep the sword of Damocles hanging high, maintain a strong offensive, show no mercy and resolutely investigate and punish those who refuse to stop or restrain themselves, severely punish corruption involving collusion between government and business such as using business to support officialdom, using officialdom to protect business, and the integration of officialdom and business, focus on systematic rectification in sectors with concentrated power, abundant funds, and rich resources, dig deep into and thoroughly investigate new types of corruption and covert corruption, continue to punish corruption around the people, and increase the intensity of punishing cross-border corruption. We must continue to intensify efforts on not being able to be corrupt, continue to reform and improve, in the practice of further deepening comprehensive reform, pay more attention to using institutions to manage power, affairs, and personnel, scientifically allocate power, strictly regulate power, and effectively supervise power, and continuously improve the supervision and restraint mechanisms for the exercise of power; in case handling, pay more attention to promoting reform and governance through cases, identify institutional shortcomings, promptly improve existing institutions, plug institutional loopholes, and fill institutional gaps. We must continue to intensify efforts on not wanting to be corrupt, continue to strengthen education, educate and guide Party members and cadres to build a solid ideological dam, establish a correct view of power, practice a correct outlook on political performance, and truly exercise power impartially, according to law, for the people, and with integrity. We must strengthen warning education, educate and guide Party members and cadres to learn from others and reflect on themselves, firmly guard the bottom line of integrity, be highly vigilant against all forms of "hunting" traps, and maintain the political nature of Communists who resist corruption and never be stained.

一体推进不敢腐不能腐不想腐。一体推进不敢腐、不能腐、不想腐揭示了反腐防腐的基本规律，不仅是反腐败斗争的基本方针，也是铲除腐败滋生土壤和条件的重要途径。要在不敢腐上持续加力、继续重拳出击，不怯场、不怯阵，不退缩、不让步，始终利剑高悬，保持强大攻势，对不收手、不收敛的绝不手软、坚决查处，严惩以商养官、以官护商、官商一体等政商勾连腐败，着重抓好权力集中、资金密集、资源富集领域系统整治，深挖细查新型腐败和隐性腐败，持续惩治群众身边腐败，加大跨境腐败惩治力度。要在不能腐上持续加力、继续改革完善，在进一步全面深化改革的实践中，更加注重用制度管权管事管人，科学配置权力、严格规范权力、有效监督权力，不断完善权力运行的监督制约机制；在案件办理中，更加注重以案促改、以案促治，查找制度短板，及时健全已有制度，堵塞制度漏洞，填补制度空白。要在不想腐上持续加力、继续加强教育，教育引导党员干部筑牢思想堤坝，树立正确权力观，践行正确政绩观，切实做到公正用权、依法用权、为民用权、廉洁用权。要加强警示教育，教育引导党员干部看别人想自己，守牢廉洁底线，高度警惕形形色色的“围猎”陷阱，保持共产党人拒腐蚀、永不沾的政治本色。

Forge a strong synergy in the anti-corruption struggle. Advancing the anti-corruption struggle is the common responsibility of the entire Party and requires all parties to work together and exert force in the same direction. It is necessary to coordinate the promotion of economic and social development with the anti-corruption struggle. Party committees and governments at all levels must assess corruption risks when planning development, pre-position anti-corruption measures when deploying work, and focus on detecting and promptly eliminating corruption hazards when promoting implementation and supervising inspections. The anti-corruption struggle must be integrated and coordinated with the Party's political construction, ideological construction, organizational construction, conduct construction, discipline construction, and institutional construction, giving full play to the important roles of political supervision, ideological education, organizational management, conduct rectification, discipline enforcement, and institutional improvement in preventing and punishing corruption. It is necessary to further improve the working mechanism and system for the anti-corruption struggle, characterized by the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, the unified command and coordination of Party committees at all levels, the organization and coordination of discipline inspection and supervision commissions, the efficient coordination of functional departments, and the participation and support of the people. It is necessary to strengthen the political responsibility for comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, consistently apply strict standards, strict measures, and a strict atmosphere throughout, promote the in-depth development of the anti-corruption struggle, and continuously achieve new results.

凝聚反腐败斗争的强大合力。推进反腐败斗争是全党的共同责任，需要各方齐抓共管、同向发力。要统筹推进经济社会发展和反腐败斗争，各级党委和政府谋划发展要评估腐败风险，部署工作要预置防腐措施，推动落实、督促检查要注重发现和及时消除腐败隐患。要把反腐败斗争同党的政治建设、思想建设、组织建设、作风建设、纪律建设、制度建设贯通协同起来，发挥政治监督、思想教育、组织管理、作风整治、纪律执行、制度完善在防治腐败中的重要作用。要进一步完善党中央集中统一领导、各级党委统筹指挥、纪委监委组织协调、职能部门高效协同、人民群众参与支持的反腐败工作体制机制，强化全面从严治党政治责任，把严的基调、严的措施、严的氛围一贯到底，推动反腐败斗争向纵深发展，不断取得新成效。
