Writing a New Chapter of the Era for Party Conduct Building on the New Journey
孙明增:书写好新征程党的作风建设的时代新篇
A great cause requires good Party conduct, and good Party conduct drives a great cause. The meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held on April 25, 2025, emphasized the need to earnestly carry out study and education on thoroughly implementing the spirit of the Eight-Point Regulations, and to open up new prospects for high-quality development through new achievements in conduct building. [1]1 The Eight-Point Regulations are a set of rules on improving Party and government conduct issued by the CPC Central Committee in December 2012, targeting formalism, bureaucracy, hedonism, and extravagance. During his inspection tour in Henan from May 19 to 20, General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward clear requirements for carrying out study and education on thoroughly implementing the spirit of the Eight-Point Regulations: “Efforts must be made to integrate study, investigation, and rectification, closely combining individual Party members’ and cadres’ self-examination and rectification with organizational examination and rectification, effectively turning hard requirements on conduct into hard measures, giving iron rules iron teeth, and ensuring that study has quality, investigation has force, and rectification has results.” [2]2 Xi Jinping is the General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the People’s Republic of China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission. At the critical juncture of securing a decisive victory in the 14th Five-Year Plan and planning the 15th Five-Year Plan, Party members and cadres should deeply understand and grasp the inevitable requirements of Party conduct building in the New Era, strive to write a new chapter of the era for Party conduct building on the new journey, and provide a strong guarantee for advancing Chinese-path modernization through new achievements in conduct building.
伟大事业需要良好党风,良好党风推动伟大事业。2025年4月25日召开的中共中央政治局会议强调,要认真开展深入贯彻中央八项规定精神学习教育,以作风建设新成效开创高质量发展新局面。习近平总书记5月19日至20日在河南考察时对开展深入贯彻中央八项规定精神学习教育提出明确要求,“要在一体推进学查改上下功夫,把党员干部个人查摆整改与组织查摆整改紧密结合起来,切实把作风硬要求变成硬措施、让铁规矩长出铁牙齿,确保学有质量、查有力度、改有成效”。在决胜“十四五”、谋篇“十五五”的关键节点,党员、干部应深刻认识和把握新时代党的作风建设的必然要求,奋力书写新征程党的作风建设的时代新篇,以作风建设新成效为推进中国式现代化提供有力保障。
I. Party Conduct Concerns the Survival or Extinction of a Marxist Political Party
一、党的作风关系马克思主义政党的生死存亡
Conduct building is an eternal theme of Party building, an important entry point and focal point for deeply advancing the great new project of Party building in the New Era, and a strong guarantee for comprehensively advancing Chinese-path modernization. Strengthening Party conduct building in the New Era has profound theoretical, historical, and practical logic. Correctly grasping the inherent requirements running through it is conducive to further enhancing the consciousness and firmness of advancing Party conduct building on the new journey.
作风建设是党的建设的永恒主题,是深入推进新时代党的建设新的伟大工程的重要切入点和着力点,是全面推进中国式现代化的有力保障。新时代加强党的作风建设,具有深刻的理论逻辑、历史逻辑和实践逻辑。正确把握贯穿其中的内在要求,有利于进一步增强新征程推进党的作风建设的自觉性和坚定性。
Fine conduct is an essential requirement for our Party as a Marxist political party. The conduct of a political party is the concrete manifestation of that party’s nature, purpose, program, and line in objective practice. If a ruling party does not pay attention to conduct building and allows unhealthy tendencies to erode the Party’s body, it risks losing the people’s support and its political power. Comrade Mao Zedong emphasized, “If we rectify our conduct well, we will be more proactive in our work, our abilities will be greater, and our work will be done better.” General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, “For us Communists, whether we can solve conduct problems is a very important yardstick for measuring our faith in Marxism, our belief in socialism and communism, and our loyalty to the Party and the people.” As the world’s largest Marxist ruling party in long-term power, the Communist Party of China can only cultivate a contingent of cadres who are enterprising and promising, and can rally the people’s strength of united determination and rolling up sleeves to work hard for the Party’s cause, by maintaining fine conduct.
作风优良是我们党作为马克思主义政党的本质要求。一个政党的作风,是这个政党的性质、宗旨、纲领和路线在客观实践中的具体表现。执政党如果不注重作风建设,听任不正之风侵蚀党的肌体,就有失去民心、丧失政权的危险。毛泽东同志强调,“如果我们把作风整顿好了,我们在工作中间就会更加主动,我们的本事就会更大,工作就会做得更好”。习近平总书记强调,“对我们共产党人来讲,能不能解决好作风问题,是衡量对马克思主义信仰、对社会主义和共产主义信念、对党和人民忠诚的一把十分重要的尺子”。作为世界上最大的长期执政的马克思主义政党,中国共产党只有保持优良的作风,才能造就一支锐意进取、奋发有为的干部队伍,才能为党的事业凝聚起众志成城同心干、撸起袖子加油干的人民之力。
Emphasizing conduct building is the true essence of a century-old Party’s ability to maintain its youthful vitality. The Party’s cause is great, arduous, and has a long way to go. How to maintain youthful vitality and achieve long-term governance is a fundamental question our Party must answer well. In the revolutionary years of blazing wars, our Party formed fine traditions such as the “Three Main Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention,” “integrating theory with practice, maintaining close ties with the masses, and practicing criticism and self-criticism,” and “defeated Xi’an conduct with Yan’an conduct,” [3]3 “Yan’an conduct” refers to the CPC’s revolutionary style of hard work, close ties with the masses, and plain living during its base area in Yan’an (1935–1948), contrasted with the corrupt and inefficient style of the Kuomintang regime in Xi’an. promoting victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan and the War of Liberation, and establishing a new China where the people are the masters of the country. During the period of socialist revolution and construction, our Party carried out effective Party consolidation and rectification movements and the “Three-Anti Campaign,” [4]4 The “Three-Anti Campaign” (1951–1952) was a movement against corruption, waste, and bureaucracy within the Party and government. overcoming bureaucracy and various erroneous ideas in Party and government organs, providing a strong conduct guarantee for advancing the cause of socialist construction. In the reform era of forging ahead, our Party, from the height of “a matter of life and death for the Party,” comprehensively consolidated the Party and carried out a series of centralized education activities, resolutely curbed unhealthy practices such as formalism and bureaucracy, continuously strengthened Party conduct building, and pushed forward the cause of reform and opening up. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, our Party has continuously carried out a series of centralized study and education within the Party, each with different emphases according to the situation and tasks, always running through the clear requirement of strengthening Party conduct building, which has had a profound impact on the development of the Party’s cause. History proves that the farther unhealthy tendencies are from us, the closer the masses will be to us. Emphasizing conduct building is the heirloom and winning weapon for Chinese Communists to work and start undertakings.
注重作风建设是百年大党永葆青春活力的真谛要义。党的事业伟大艰巨、任重道远,如何永葆青春活力、实现长期执政,是我们党必须回答好的一个根本性问题。在烽火连天的革命岁月,我们党形成“三大纪律、八项注意”、“理论联系实际、密切联系群众、批评和自我批评”等优良传统,“用延安作风打败西安作风”,推动取得抗日战争和解放战争的胜利,建立了人民当家作主的新中国。在社会主义革命和建设时期,我们党开展卓有成效的整党整风运动和“三反”运动等,克服党政机关中存在的官僚主义和各种错误思想,为推进社会主义建设事业提供了坚强作风保障。在砥砺奋进的改革年代,我们党从“事关党的生死存亡”高度,全面整党和开展一系列集中性教育活动,狠刹形式主义、官僚主义等歪风,持续加强党的作风建设,把改革开放事业不断推向前进。党的十八大以来,我们党持续开展一系列党内集中性学习教育,根据形势和任务的不同各有侧重,始终贯穿加强党的作风建设的鲜明要求,对党的事业发展产生深远的影响。历史证明,不正之风离我们越远,群众就会离我们越近,注重作风建设是中国共产党人干事创业的传家宝和制胜武器。
Strengthening Party conduct building is a strong guarantee for advancing Chinese-path modernization. Party conduct building serves the overall work of the Party and reflects the new requirements of the new situations and tasks facing the Party. Currently, the Party is leading more than 1.4 billion Chinese people on the new journey of Chinese-path modernization, and Party conduct building is in a completely new spatial and temporal coordinate. The world’s century-old changes are accelerating. How to advance the self-building of the Marxist ruling party amidst the changing external environment, unite the Party’s heart and the people’s heart with fine conduct, and open up new horizons for the development of the cause is a new issue for Party building posed by the development of the world situation. China’s 14th Five-Year Plan is coming to a conclusion, and the 15th Five-Year Plan is being planned. Advancing Chinese-path modernization through further deepening reform comprehensively places new and higher demands on the mental state, ideological concepts, quality and ability, conduct image, and willpower of the vast number of Party members and cadres. As the world’s largest Marxist ruling party, how to always maintain a clean and upright political ecosystem is one of the unique problems that must be deeply understood and resolutely addressed. Facing profound changes in the world situation, national conditions, and Party conditions, for the cause of Chinese-path modernization to take new steps, Party conduct building must continuously create new momentum and achieve new accomplishments.
加强党的作风建设是推进中国式现代化的有力保障。党的作风建设服务于党的工作大局,体现党面临的新形势新任务的新要求。当前,党正领导14亿多中国人民奋进在中国式现代化新征程上,党的作风建设处于一个全新的时空坐标。世界百年变局加速演进,如何在风云变幻的外部环境中推进马克思主义执政党自身建设,以优良作风凝聚党心民心,打开事业发展新天地,是世情发展赋予党的建设的新课题。我国“十四五”规划迎来收官、“十五五”规划正待谋篇,以进一步全面深化改革推进中国式现代化,对广大党员、干部的精神状态、思想观念、素质能力、作风形象、意志品质提出新的更高要求。我们党作为世界上最大的马克思主义执政党 ,如何始终保持风清气正的政治生态,是必须深刻认识和着力解决的独有难题之一。面对世情国情党情发生的深刻变化,中国式现代化事业要迈出新步伐,党的作风建设就要不断创造新气象、实现新作为。
II. Conduct Building Has Become a Bright Business Card of Party Building in the New Era
二、作风建设成为新时代党的建设的亮丽名片
“Moving the wood to establish trust, transforming customs and educating people; addressing both symptoms and root causes, persisting for lasting effects.” [5]5 “Moving the wood to establish trust” alludes to a story of Lord Shang Yang of the Qin state, who moved a log to demonstrate his commitment to law and order, symbolizing the Party’s determination to enforce rules. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has started with the formulation and implementation of the Eight-Point Regulations as a breakthrough, led from the top down in conduct building, examined itself with a thorough self-revolutionary spirit, eradicated ills and diseases, achieved important results in Party conduct building in the New Era, and led and ensured that Chinese-path modernization shows a new look.
徙木立信,成风化人;标本兼治,久久为功。党的十八大以来,以习近平同志为核心的党中央从制定和落实中央八项规定开局破题,以上率下抓作风建设,以彻底的自我革命精神检视自身、铲瘴除疾,新时代党的作风建设取得重要成果,引领和保障中国式现代化展现新气象。
The understanding of the laws of Party conduct building has been continuously deepened. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, General Secretary Xi Jinping has delivered a series of important speeches and made important instructions and directives on Party conduct building, putting forward many new ideas, viewpoints, and judgments. He emphasized that Party conduct concerns the people’s support and determines the success or failure of the Party and the country, clarifying the great significance of conduct building; emphasized that the essence of conduct problems is Party spirit problems, clarifying the essential attribute of conduct building; emphasized that the core of conduct problems is the relationship between the Party and the masses, clarifying the core essence of conduct building; emphasized that the Eight-Point Regulations are the entry point and mobilization order for improving conduct, and are long-term effective iron rules and hard constraints, clarifying the major measures of conduct building; emphasized continuously deepening the correction of the “Four Forms of Decadence,” [6]6 The “Four Forms of Decadence” (四风) refer to formalism, bureaucracy, hedonism, and extravagance, which are the main targets of conduct rectification. clarifying the key tasks of conduct building; emphasized adhering to the integration of rectifying conduct, enforcing discipline, and combating corruption, clarifying the effective pathways of conduct building; emphasized promoting the normalization and long-term effectiveness of conduct building, clarifying the institutional guarantees of conduct building, and so on. General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on strengthening Party conduct building have deepened the understanding of the laws of Party conduct building, are the theoretical summary of the practical experience of Party conduct building in the New Era, and are the fundamental guidance for continuously achieving new results in conduct building on the new journey.
对党的作风建设的规律性认识不断深化。党的十八大以来,习近平总书记围绕党的作风建设发表系列重要讲话、作出重要指示批示,提出许多新思想新观点新论断。强调党的作风关系人心向背,决定党和国家事业成败,阐明作风建设的重大意义;强调作风问题本质上是党性问题,阐明作风建设的本质属性;强调作风问题核心是党同人民群众的关系问题,阐明作风建设的核心要义;强调中央八项规定是改进作风的切入口和动员令,是长期有效的铁规矩、硬杠杠,阐明作风建设的重大举措;强调持续深化纠治“四风”,阐明作风建设的重点任务;强调坚持正风肃纪反腐相贯通,阐明作风建设的有效途径;强调推进作风建设常态化长效化,阐明作风建设的制度保障,等等。习近平总书记关于加强党的作风建设的重要论述,深化了对党的作风建设的规律性认识,是新时代党的作风建设实践经验的理论总结,是新征程不断取得作风建设新成效的根本遵循。
Inner-Party political life and the political ecosystem have continuously improved. Serious and regular inner-Party political life and a clean and upright inner-Party political ecosystem are solid guarantees for the Party to lead the people in fulfilling their historical mission. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has deeply integrated political standards and political requirements into the entire process of conduct building, strictly enforced political discipline and political rules, seriously conducted inner-Party political life, clearly resisted and opposed vulgar and decadent political culture, and resolutely fought against various unhealthy tendencies and corrupt phenomena. Through unremitting and persistent efforts, a clean and clear comradely relationship within the Party, a proper superior-subordinate relationship, and a new type of pro-clean and unified government-business relationship have gradually taken shape. The political ecosystem has become increasingly clear and upright, social customs have continuously improved, and a clean and upright inner-Party political ecosystem is constantly being formed and developed.
党内政治生活和政治生态持续改善。严肃认真的党内政治生活、风清气正的党内政治生态,是党领导人民完成历史使命的坚实保障。党的十八大以来,以习近平同志为核心的党中央将政治标准和政治要求深度融入作风建设全过程,严明政治纪律和政治规矩,严肃党内政治生活,旗帜鲜明地抵制和反对庸俗腐朽的政治文化,坚决同各种不正之风和腐败现象作斗争。通过常抓不懈、久久为功,党内清清爽爽的同志关系、规规矩矩的上下级关系、亲清统一的新型政商关系逐步形成,政治生态愈发山清水秀,社会风尚持续向上向善,风清气正的党内政治生态不断形成和发展。
The institutional mechanisms for the Party’s work style construction are continuously improving. For the Party’s work style construction, institutional construction plays the role of a long-term and fundamental strategy. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has formulated or revised foundational intra-Party regulations such as the *Code of Integrity and Self-Discipline of the Communist Party of China*, the *Code of Conduct for Intraparty Political Life under the New Situation*, the *Regulations of the Communist Party of China on Intraparty Supervision*, the *Regulations of the Communist Party of China on Accountability*, and the *Regulations of the Communist Party of China on Disciplinary Action*, promoting the Party’s work style construction to have rules to follow and regulations to abide by. It has issued normative documents such as the *Regulations on Practicing Thrift and Opposing Waste in Party and Government Organs*, the *Provisions on the Management of Official Domestic Reception in Party and Government Organs*, and the *Measures for the Management of Office Premises in Party and Government Organs*, forming a set of executable and operable top-level design. Through persistent efforts, a systematic and complete institutional system has been formed, with rigid institutional provisions and strict institutional implementation ensuring that the improvement of work style is standardized, normalized, and long-lasting.
党的作风建设的制度机制不断完善。对党的作风建设来说,制度建设发挥着长远之策、根本之策的作用。党的十八大以来,以习近平同志为核心的党中央制定或修订《中国共产党廉洁自律准则》、《关于新形势下党内政治生活的若干准则》、《中国共产党党内监督条例》、《中国共产党问责条例》、《中国共产党纪律处分条例》等基础性党内法规,推动党的作风建设有规可依、有章可循。出台《党政机关厉行节约反对浪费条例》、《党政机关国内公务接待管理规定》、《党政机关办公用房管理办法》等规范性文件,形成了一套可执行、可操作的顶层设计。经过持之以恒的努力,形成系统完备的制度体系,以刚性的制度规定和严格的制度执行,确保改进作风规范化、常态化、长效化。
The century-old major Party radiates vigorous vitality through the purification of the Party’s work style. Work style construction is a distinctive marker of comprehensive and strict governance of the Party in the New Era. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has
百年大党在党风净化中焕发蓬勃生机。作风建设是新时代全面从严治党的显著标识。党的十八大以来,以习近平同志为核心的党中央持续狠刹享乐主义、奢靡之风,重拳纠治形式主义、官僚主义,综合治理推动化风成俗,纠树并举促进作风建设常态化长效化,中央八项规定精神成为党员、干部心中的铁规矩、硬杠杠;集中整治人民群众身边不正之风和腐败问题,化解一批积累多年的矛盾问题,有效回应了群众关切,使人民群众切身感受到正风肃纪反腐就在身边。经过党风的自我净化,一个充满活力的马克思主义政党正以优良作风形象奋进新征程、建功新时代,焕发强大生机活力。
III. Striving to Advance Chinese-Path Modernization with New Achievements in Party Conduct Construction
三、以作风建设新成效奋力推进中国式现代化
Party conduct construction is not a stopgap measure or a temporary action; it has no rest point. On the new journey, we must thoroughly study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important discourses on strengthening Party conduct construction, adhere to simultaneously grasping Party spirit, Party conduct, and Party discipline, and integrate the rectification of improper conduct, the enforcement of discipline, and the fight against corruption, so as to open up a new situation of comprehensive and strict governance of the Party with new achievements in Party conduct construction.
作风建设,不是权宜之计、一时之举,没有休止符。新征程上,我们要深入学习贯彻习近平总书记关于加强党的作风建设的重要论述,坚持党性党风党纪一起抓、正风肃纪反腐相贯通,以作风建设新成效开创全面从严治党新局面。
Consolidate the foundation, cultivate the essence, unite hearts, and forge the soul, to build a solid ideological and political foundation for Party conduct construction. On the new journey, to strengthen Party conduct construction, we must consolidate the foundation, cultivate the essence, unite hearts, and forge the soul, thoroughly study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important discourses on strengthening Party conduct construction, and build a solid ideological and political foundation for strengthening Party conduct construction. Study closely in connection with the Party’s innovative theories, learn, contemplate, practice, and comprehend Xi Jinping’s important thoughts on Party building and on the Party’s self-revolution, and effectively fortify the defense line against the erosion of various harmful ideological trends and decadent ideas. Study closely in connection with the Party Constitution, intra-Party regulations, and Party discipline, conduct comprehensive, systematic, and timely learning, and precisely grasp the institutional system and specific norms of the Party’s conduct construction. Study closely in connection with the Party’s glorious history, allowing the tangible, palpable, and perceptible glorious traditions and fine conduct to inspire Party members and cadres to strengthen their ideals and convictions. Study closely in connection with the concrete practice of Chinese-path modernization, promote the fine conduct of the New Era, and continuously enhance the scientific nature, foresight, initiative, and creativity of work.
固本培元、凝心铸魂,筑牢作风建设思想政治根基。新征程上,加强党的作风建设,要固本培元、凝心铸魂,深入学习贯彻习近平总书记关于加强党的作风建设的重要论述,筑牢加强作风建设的思想政治根基。紧密联系党的创新理论学,学思践悟习近平总书记关于党的建设的重要思想、关于党的自我革命的重要思想,切实筑牢抵御各种不良思潮和腐朽思想侵蚀的防线。紧密联系党章党规党纪学,全面系统及时学习,精准把握党的作风建设的制度体系和具体规范。紧密联系党的光辉历史学,让看得见、摸得着、感受得到的光荣传统和优良作风激励党员、干部坚定理想信念。紧密联系中国式现代化具体实践学,弘扬新时代优良作风,不断增强工作的科学性、预见性、主动性、创造性。
Targeted treatment, simultaneously rectifying and establishing, to win the people’s hearts with new achievements in Party conduct construction. On the new journey, to strengthen Party conduct construction, we must take the voices of the masses as the first signal, take the needs of the masses as the first demand, focus on the hot and difficult issues of concern to the masses as the key points of work, root our strength in the people, integrate our emotions with the people, and share the fruits of our work with the people. On the one hand, adhere to targeted treatment to clear blockages and remove obstacles, resolving prominent issues that the people deeply detest. Keep a close watch on common and recurring stubborn conduct problems, make sustained efforts to punish “fly-greed and ant-corruption” [7]7 “Fly-greed and ant-corruption” (蝇贪蚁腐) is a vivid Chinese term referring to petty corruption by low-level officials, which directly harms the interests of the people at the grassroots level., systematically rectify prominent issues in the field of people’s livelihoods, target efforts and make breakthroughs at key points, and promote the solid and effective implementation of Party conduct construction. On the other hand, simultaneously rectify and establish to eliminate the turbid and promote the clear, creating a good atmosphere of clean governance and entrepreneurial drive. In terms of “rectification,” strictly investigate and punish, according to regulations, discipline, and law, the prominent issues identified through “targeted treatment” and acts that blatantly violate discipline. In terms of “establishment,” strengthen education on Party spirit, education on the purpose of serving the people, and education on discipline and rules, strengthen the construction of a clean culture in the New Era, take conduct performance as an important criterion for evaluating cadres, and encourage cadres to take responsibility and act.
靶向施治、纠树并举,以作风建设新成效赢得民心。新征程上,加强党的作风建设,要把群众呼声作为第一信号,把群众需要作为第一需求,以群众关心的热点和难点问题为工作重点,把力量根植于人民、情感融通于人民、成果共享于人民。一方面,坚持以靶向施治清淤排障,解决人民群众深恶痛绝的突出问题。紧盯普遍发生、反复出现的作风顽疾,持续发力惩治“蝇贪蚁腐”,系统性整治民生领域突出问题,靶向发力、重点突破,推动作风建设抓紧抓实、抓出成效。另一方面,以纠树并举激浊扬清,营造风清气正、干事创业的良好氛围。在“纠”的方面,对“靶向施治”找出的突出问题和顶风违纪行为,依规依纪依法严肃查处。在“树”的方面,加强党性教育、宗旨意识教育、纪律规矩教育,加强新时代廉洁文化建设,将作风表现作为衡量干部的重要标准,鼓励干部担当作为。
The superior sets an example and leads by action, driving the continuous improvement of Party conduct, government conduct, and social conduct. The conduct of leading cadres has a powerful demonstration effect and has always been a weathervane for social behavioral norms. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “The conduct of leading cadres, especially senior cadres, has an important influence on the direction of Party conduct, government conduct, and even the entire social atmosphere.” [8]8 Xi On the new journey, leading cadres at all levels must strictly demand of themselves in terms of conviction, moral conduct, exercise of power, and self-discipline, adhere to keeping the people in their hearts and serving them, working with real effort and seeking practical results, working hard and being frugal, exercising power impartially and governing cleanly, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and wholesome interests, and consciously become model practitioners of new trends and healthy atmosphere. Integrate the requirements for improving conduct throughout all aspects of decision-making, implementation, and supervision, reflecting them in all facets of work. When formulating policies, conduct thorough research; when advancing work, focus on practical results; when handling problems, adhere to principles; dare to struggle against unhealthy trends; consciously accept various forms of supervision from both inside and outside the Party; internalize good conduct into work habits and behavioral consciousness; and create a clean atmosphere for work and entrepreneurship.
以上率下、身体力行,带动党风政风社风持续好转。领导干部的作风具有强大示范效应,历来是社会行为规范的风向标。习近平总书记强调:“领导干部特别是高级干部作风如何,对党风政风乃至整个社会风气的走向具有重要影响。”新征程上,各级领导干部要从信念、德行、用权和自律等方面严格要求自己,坚持心系群众、服务人民,真抓实干、务求实效,艰苦奋斗、勤俭节约,秉公用权、廉洁从政,生活正派、情趣健康,自觉做新风正气的模范践行者。将改进作风的要求贯穿于决策、执行、监督等各个环节,体现在工作方方面面,制定政策要充分调研,推进工作要注重实效,处理问题要坚持原则,敢于同不良风气作斗争,自觉接受党内外各种监督,将良好作风内化为工作习惯和行为自觉,营造风清气正的干事氛围。
Address both symptoms and root causes, investigate and govern simultaneously, to promote the normalization and long-term effectiveness of Party conduct construction. On the new journey, to strengthen Party conduct construction, we must address both symptoms and root causes. By combining deterrence through punishment with the establishment of systems, we can eradicate the soil and conditions that breed unhealthy conduct. Improve the mechanism for the simultaneous investigation and governance of misconduct and corruption, forming an institutional mechanism that combines external discipline with self-discipline. Use “simultaneous investigation” to severely punish issues where misconduct and corruption are intertwined, continuously implement the spirit of the Eight-Point Regulations of the Central Committee, consistently rectify the “Four Forms of Decadence” [9], and resolutely oppose privileged thinking and privileged phenomena. Use “simultaneous governance” to eradicate the common roots of misconduct and corruption, vigorously rectify stubborn problems such as illegal eating and drinking, the improper family conduct of leading cadres, pollution of the political ecosystem, and the chaos of “hunting and besieging” [10]. Use the integration of “investigation” and “governance” to block the evolution from misconduct to corruption, forming an effective closed loop of case handling, governance, supervision, and education. Empower the rectification of improper conduct and the fight against corruption with big data and information technology, rely on big data analysis to precisely discover clues of misconduct and corruption, and transform the traditional work model to “investigating people and matters from data.”
标本兼治、同查同治,推动作风建设常态化长效化。新征程上,加强党的作风建设,既要治标,也要治本,通过惩治震慑和建章立制相结合,铲除不良作风滋生的土壤和条件。健全不正之风和腐败问题同查同治机制,形成他律与自律相结合的制度机制。以“同查”严惩风腐交织问题,持续落实中央八项规定精神,一以贯之纠治“四风”,坚决反对特权思想和特权现象。以“同治”铲除风腐共性根源,大力整治违规吃喝顽疾、领导干部家风不正现象、政治生态污染、“围猎”乱象等问题。以“查”、“治”贯通阻断风腐演变,形成办案、治理、监督、教育的有效闭环。以大数据信息化赋能正风反腐,依靠大数据分析精准发现不正之风和腐败问题线索,将传统工作模式向“从数据中查人查事”转变升级。
Genuinely manage and strictly manage, manage for the long term and strictly for the long term, to form a strong joint force of coordinated management. Conduct problems are stubborn, complex, and recurrent; the task of curbing the “Four Forms of Decadence,” preventing their resurgence, and preventing their mutation remains arduous. To advance the construction of Party conduct, we must firmly stand with the people, maintain strategic resolve, focus on specific issues, precisely rectify the “Four Forms of Decadence,” and grasp them to the end without a moment’s slack. Promote the in-depth and solid implementation of study and education on thoroughly carrying out the spirit of the Eight-Point Regulations of the Central Committee, deepen the use of cases to explain virtue, explain discipline, explain law, and explain responsibility, adhere to genuine management and strict management, dare to manage and strictly manage, manage for the long term and strictly for the long term, and persistently implement the spirit of the Eight-Point Regulations of the Central Committee and its detailed implementation rules. Adhere to taking responsibility for one’s own domain, treat the implementation of the spirit of the Eight-Point Regulations of the Central Committee as a major political task, establish a layered and categorized responsibility system, and form a work pattern where each performs their own duties, takes their own responsibilities, answers the same questions together, and exerts efforts in the same direction. With stronger responsibility, build a pattern of coordinated management, comprehensively consolidate the main responsibilities of Party committees (Party leadership groups) at all levels, the primary responsibility of Party organization secretaries as the first responsible person, the “dual responsibilities for one post” of leadership team members, and the supervisory responsibilities of discipline inspection commissions (discipline inspection groups). Improve the working mechanism for promoting the simultaneous achievement of “dare not to be corrupt, cannot be corrupt, and do not want to be corrupt” [11], through all-round, whole-process, and full-cycle strict governance, embody the strict tone, strict measures, and strict atmosphere in all aspects and links of Party management and governance, and ensure with new achievements in comprehensive and strict governance of the Party and new achievements in Party conduct construction that the Party never deteriorates, never changes its color, and never changes its flavor.
真管真严、长管长严,形成齐抓共管强大合力。作风问题具有顽固性、复杂性、反复性,刹“四风”、防反弹、防变异任务依然繁重。推进党的作风建设,必须站稳人民立场,保持战略定力,盯住具体问题,精准纠治“四风”,一抓到底、一刻不松。推动开展深入贯彻中央八项规定精神学习教育走深走实,深化以案说德、以案说纪、以案说法、以案说责,坚持真管真严、敢管敢严、长管长严,锲而不舍落实中央八项规定及其实施细则精神。坚持守土负责,把落实中央八项规定精神作为重大政治任务,分层分类健全责任体系,形成各司其职、各负其责、同题共答、同向发力的工作格局。以更强的担当构建齐抓共管格局,全面压实各级党委(党组)主体责任、党组织书记第一责任人责任、班子成员“一岗双责”、纪委(纪检组)监督专责。完善一体推进不敢腐、不能腐、不想腐工作机制,通过全方位、全过程、全周期从严治理,把严的基调、严的措施、严的氛围体现到管党治党各方面各环节,以全面从严治党新成就和作风建设新成效确保党永远不变质、不变色、不变味。
