I. Deeply Grasp General Secretary Xi Jinping’s Strategic Thought on the Party’s Self-Revolution

一、深刻把握习近平总书记关于党的自我革命战略思想

At the ceremony marking the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping for the first time proposed that the entire Party should, with the political courage of self-revolution, focus on solving the prominent problems existing within the Party itself. Subsequently, he has elaborated in depth on the Party’s self-revolution at many important meetings. At the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee [1]1 "self-revolution" (自我革命): A key concept in Xi Jinping's thought on Party building, referring to the Party's proactive and systematic efforts to reform itself, eliminate corruption, and maintain its vanguard nature, distinct from external revolutionary struggles., General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, “How to break out of the historical cycle of rise and fall, order and chaos,” and “through a century of struggle, especially the new practice since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, our Party has given a second answer, and that is self-revolution.” At the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection [2]2 The thematic education campaign refers to the Party-wide campaign on studying and implementing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, launched in April 2023. The disciplinary inspection and supervision cadre team education and rectification campaign is a simultaneous internal clean-up and training initiative targeting the discipline inspection and supervision system itself., General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out, “Over the past century, externally, the Party has relied on developing people’s democracy and accepting people’s supervision; internally, it has relied on comprehensive and strict governance of the Party and advancing self-revolution, daring to uphold truth and correct errors, daring to turn the blade inward and scrape the poison from the bone, thereby ensuring the Party’s enduring vitality and continuous growth and strengthening.” “Comprehensive and strict governance of the Party is the great practice of the Party’s self-revolution in the New Era, opening up a new realm for the self-revolution of a century-old major Party.” At the 20th National Congress of the CPC, General Secretary Xi Jinping solemnly declared, “The entire Party must remember that comprehensive and strict governance of the Party is always on the way, and the Party’s self-revolution is always on the way.” From this, we can see that, on the basis of profoundly summing up the Party’s century-long struggle, especially the practice of the New Era, General Secretary Xi Jinping has deeply pondered the major proposition of the Party’s self-revolution and set forth the deployment requirements for advancing the great self-revolution.

习近平总书记在庆祝中国共产党成立95周年大会上，首次提出全党要以自我革命的政治勇气，着力解决党自身存在的突出问题。此后又先后在很多重要会议上就党的自我革命作出深入阐述。在十九届六中全会上，习近平总书记指出，“如何跳出治乱兴衰的历史周期率”，“经过百年奋斗特别是党的十八大以来新的实践，我们党又给出了第二个答案，这就是自我革命”；在十九届中央纪委六次全会上，习近平总书记指出，“一百年来，党外靠发展人民民主、接受人民监督，内靠全面从严治党、推进自我革命，勇于坚持真理、修正错误，勇于刀刃向内、刮骨疗毒，保证了党长盛不衰、不断发展壮大”，“全面从严治党是新时代党的自我革命的伟大实践，开辟了百年大党自我革命的新境界”。在党的二十大上，习近平总书记郑重宣示，“全党必须牢记，全面从严治党永远在路上，党的自我革命永远在路上”。从中我们可以看出，习近平总书记在深刻总结党的百年奋斗历程特别是新时代实践基础上，对党的自我革命重大命题的深入思考，以及推进伟大自我革命的部署要求。

Why is self-revolution necessary? Since its founding over a hundred years ago, the Communist Party of China has led the entire Party and people of all ethnic groups in the country to achieve great successes in socialist revolution, construction, reform and opening up. Why, then, must the Party’s self-revolution be emphasized? First, from the perspective of the practical background of advancing the great new project of Party building in the New Era, solving the prominent problems that existed within the Party at that time required the courage and force to turn the blade inward and scrape the poison from the bone. In his report to the 20th National Congress of the CPC, when summing up the work of the past five years and the great changes in the first decade of the New Era, General Secretary Xi Jinping very soberly pointed out some prominent problems that

为什么要进行自我革命？中国共产党成立一百多年来，带领全党全国各族人民取得社会主义革命、建设和改革开放的伟大成就，为什么还要强调党的自我革命？第一，从新时代推进党的建设新的伟大工程面临的现实背景看，解决当时党内存在的突出问题，需要有刀刃向内、刮骨疗毒的勇气和力度。习近平总书记在党的二十大报告中总结过去五年工作和新时代十年伟大变革时，十分清醒地指出了党的十八大之前党内存在的令人忧心忡忡的一些突出问题，比如对坚持党的领导认识模糊、行动乏力问题，落实党的领导弱化虚化淡化问题，党员干部政治信仰发生动摇，一些地方和部门形式主义、官僚主义、享乐主义和奢靡之风屡禁不止，特权思想和特权现象较为严重、一些贪腐问题触目惊心等。面对这些突出问题，习近平总书记经过深邃思考得出的结论是，坚持打铁必须自身硬，以自我革命精神推进全面从严治党。第二，从我们党所面临的复杂环境和肩负的使命任务看，自我革命是始终保持党的先进性纯洁性和凝聚力战斗力的必然要求。我们党作为世界上最大的马克思主义执政党，要始终赢得人民拥护、巩固长期执政地位，必须时刻保持解决大党独有难题的清醒和坚定。经过党的十八大以来全面从严治党，我们解决了党内许多突出问题，但党面临的执政考验、改革开放考验、市场经济考验、外部环境考验将长期存在，精神懈怠危险、能力不足危险、脱离群众危险、消极腐败危险将长期存在。习近平总书记在二十届中央纪委二次全会上对百年大党面临的独有难题作了“六个如何始终”的深入阐述，并指出解决好这些难题，是实现新时代新征程党的使命任务必须迈过的一道坎，是全面从严治党适应新形势新要求必须啃下的硬骨头。面对全面建成社会主义现代化强国、以中国式现代化全面推进中华民族伟大复兴的崇高使命，面对前进道路上风高浪急甚至是惊涛骇浪的重大挑战，面对长期存在的“四大考验”和“四种危险”，解决大党独有难题必然是一个长期而艰巨的过程，这就决定了全面从严治党永远在路上，党的自我革命永远在路上。

General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out that being brave in self-revolution is the most distinctive quality of our Party and also its greatest strength. The greatness of the Communist Party of China lies not in its never making mistakes, but in its never concealing its ailments and avoiding treatment, daring to face problems head-on, and relying on its own strength to correct errors and resolve issues. The Communist Party of China is both a Marxist ruling party and a Marxist revolutionary party, possessing a thorough revolutionary character. The nature and purpose of our Party determine that it has no special interests of its own, has never represented the interests of any interest group, any power clique, or any privileged stratum, and always represents the fundamental interests of the broadest majority of the people—this is the source of courage and the foundation of confidence for our Party to dare to engage in self-revolution. The Communist Party of China adheres to its original aspiration and founding mission of seeking happiness for the people and rejuvenation for the nation, which also endows our Party with the endogenous driving force to persist in self-revolution. The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has precisely inherited this unique endowment of our Party, and with a strong sense of historical mission and responsibility, has advanced comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, putting forth a combined set of measures for self-revolution, achieving rich results in theoretical innovation, practical innovation, and institutional innovation in Party management and governance, significantly enhancing our Party's capacity for self-purification, self-improvement, self-reform, and self-enhancement, and becoming the key to leading the great social revolution in the New Era. The historic achievements and historic transformations in the cause of the Party and the state in the New Era have fully demonstrated the political guiding role and political guarantee role of comprehensive and strict governance of the Party.

习近平总书记指出，勇于自我革命，是我们党最鲜明的品格，也是我们党最大的优势。中国共产党的伟大不在于不犯错误，而在于从不讳疾忌医，敢于直面问题，依靠自身力量纠正错误、解决问题。中国共产党既是马克思主义执政党，也是马克思主义革命党，具有彻底的革命特质。中国共产党的性质宗旨，决定了我们党没有任何自己特殊的利益，从来不代表任何利益集团、任何权势团体和任何特权阶层的利益，始终代表最广大人民的根本利益，这是我们党敢于自我革命的勇气之源、底气所在。中国共产党坚守为人民谋幸福、为民族谋复兴的初心使命，也赋予我们党坚持自我革命的内生动力。以习近平同志为核心的党中央正是继承了我们党这一独特禀赋，以强烈的历史使命和责任担当，推进全面从严治党，打出一套自我革命“组合拳”，取得了管党治党理论创新、实践创新、制度创新的丰富成果，显著提升了我们党自我净化、自我完善、自我革新、自我提高能力，成为新时代引领伟大社会革命的关键所在。新时代党和国家事业取得历史性成就、发生历史性变革，充分彰显了全面从严治党的政治引领作用和政治保障作用。

How is the Party’s self-revolution to be advanced? Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, our Party has solidly advanced comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, treated its own building with seriousness and earnestness, and promoted self-revolution in a scientific attitude and a systematic manner, thereby achieving rich theoretical, practical and institutional results and accumulating important experience that has proven effective. First, placing the Party’s political construction as a fundamental construction in the primary position, clearly and unequivocally upholding and strengthening the Party’s overall leadership, making intraparty political life more rigorous, purifying and restoring the political ecosystem, impelling the entire Party to strengthen the Four Consciousnesses, fortify the Four Confidences, and achieve the Two Upholds, closely uniting around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, and realizing the Party’s unity and solidarity. [2]2 The thematic education campaign refers to the Party-wide campaign on studying and implementing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, launched in April 2023. The disciplinary inspection and supervision cadre team education and rectification campaign is a simultaneous internal clean-up and training initiative targeting the discipline inspection and supervision system itself. Second, continuously carrying out intraparty centralized education, persisting in using Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to unify thought, unify will, and unify action, strengthening education in ideals and convictions and in Party spirit, making good use of the weapon of criticism and self-criticism, grasping ideological remoulding, spiritual cleansing, and purification of the mind, educating and guiding Party cadres and members to fortify the foundation of faith, replenish the calcium of spirit, and steady the helm of ideology, to bear in mind the Party’s purpose and not forget the original aspiration and founding mission. [3]3 The “education and rectification campaign” refers to the nationwide campaign launched in 2023 by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Commission of Supervision to strengthen the self-building of discipline inspection and supervision cadres, emphasizing self-purification, self-improvement, self-reform, and self-enhancement. Third, taking the construction of the organizational system as the key point, rectifying weak and lax Party organizations, continuously strengthening the political and organizational functions of Party organizations, and impelling Party organizations at all levels to make comprehensive progress and become comprehensively strong. Fourth, beginning with the formulation and implementation of the Party Central Committee’s Eight-Point Regulations as a breakthrough, persistently rectifying formalism, bureaucratism, hedonism, and extravagance with the spirit of driving a nail, resolutely opposing the mentality of privilege and the phenomenon of privilege, and continuously winning the trust and support of the people with a new atmosphere in work style. Fifth, comprehensively strengthening Party discipline building, strictly enforcing the Party’s political discipline and political rules, driving the comprehensive strictness of organizational discipline, clean governance discipline, mass discipline, work discipline, and life discipline, and regulating the performance of duties and exercise of power by Party cadres with strict discipline; carrying out regular discipline education, supervising leading cadres, especially senior cadres, to be strict with themselves, strictly assume their responsibilities, and strictly manage their jurisdictions, and investigating and punishing every discovered violation of Party discipline. Sixth, adhering to the organic integration of the Party’s self-supervision and supervision by the people, giving play to the role of the sharp sword of inspections, [4]4 “Lamplight under the lamp” (灯下黑) is a Chinese idiom meaning corruption or misconduct that occurs within an organization itself, especially in oversight bodies, where the area directly under a light source is paradoxically darkest. Here it refers to discipline inspection cadres themselves engaging in violations. highlighting the problem orientation, focusing on the key minority of “first-in-command” persons and leading groups, [5]5 The “Three Imperatives” (三个务必) were put forward by Xi Jinping at the 20th National Congress of the CPC closely following power and responsibility, strengthening supervision and inspection, and concentrating on discovering problems and urging rectification of problems. Continuously improving the Party and state supervision system, achieving full coverage of supervision over public functionaries, reforming and improving dispatched supervision, promoting the integration and interconnection of various types of supervision, and strengthening supervision effectiveness. Seventh, adhering to governing the Party with institutions and in accordance with intraparty regulations, promoting the improvement of the intraparty regulations and rules system, perfecting an authoritative and efficient enforcement mechanism for the mutual articulation of Party discipline and state law, strengthening the restriction and supervision of the exercise of power, weaving and tightening the institutional “cage” that constrains power, strictly enforcing institutions, and promoting the better transformation of institutional advantages into national governance effectiveness. Eighth, carrying out the anti-corruption struggle with unprecedented intensity, employing multiple measures simultaneously to “beat tigers,” “swat flies,” and “hunt foxes,” [6] investigating and punishing a large number of corrupt elements, opposing corruption and punishing evil with a zero-tolerance attitude, more forcefully curbing increments, more effectively clearing out stockpiles, resolutely investigating corruption where political issues and economic issues are intertwined, resolutely preventing leading cadres from becoming spokespersons and agents of interest groups and power blocs, resolutely punishing new types of corruption and hidden corruption, and improving the ability to promptly discover and effectively handle corruption problems.

II. Conscientiously Carry Out the Education and Rectification of the Discipline Inspection Cadre Contingent with the Spirit of Self-Revolution, Strengthen Self-Building, and Better Fulfill the Duties and Missions

二、以自我革命精神认真抓好纪检干部队伍教育整顿，加强自身建设，更好履行职责使命

The education and rectification of the discipline inspection and supervision cadre contingent is a major political task personally assigned and deployed by General

纪检监察干部队伍教育整顿是习近平总书记亲自点题、亲自部署的重大政治任务，也是全国纪检监察系统以自我革命精神从严整肃队伍，打造忠诚干净担当、敢于善于斗争、堪当新时代新征程重任的高素质纪检监察铁军的重要举措。必须坚持高的标准和严的要求，认真抓好纪检干部队伍教育整顿，扎实推进纪检干部队伍自身的政治建设、思想建设、作风建设、纪律建设，严明纪律规矩，着力提高业务水平和履职能力，以更高的政治素养、更优的思想作风、过硬的能力本领和良好的品行操守，履行好肩负的职责使命。

Strengthen political tempering to ensure absolute loyalty to the Party

加强政治磨砺，确保对党绝对忠诚。习近平总书记指出，纪检监察机关是政治机关，首先必须政治过硬，在提高政治判断力、政治领悟力、政治执行力上走在前、作表率。他还要求纪检干部必须有对党绝对忠诚的高度自觉和责任担当，忠诚于党的领导、忠诚于党的初心使命，忠诚于纪检干部的职责使命，坚定维护党章党纪党规的尊严和权威。纪检监察机关是党和人民的忠诚卫士，在坚决维护习近平总书记党中央的核心、全党的核心地位，坚决维护以习近平同志为核心的党中央权威和集中统一领导上肩负重大使命、重大责任，必须更加深化对“两个确立”的政治认同、思想认同、理论认同、情感认同，更加自觉增强“四个意识”、坚定“四个自信”、做到“两个维护”，始终在思想上政治上行动上同以习近平同志为核心的党中央保持高度一致。要坚决同危害党中央权威和集中统一领导的言行作斗争，真心爱党、时刻忧党、坚定护党、全力兴党。

Strengthen theoretical armament and firm up ideals and convictions. We must make good use of the learning and education opportunities provided by the thematic education campaign and the disciplinary inspection and supervision cadre team education and rectification campaign [2]2 The thematic education campaign refers to the Party-wide campaign on studying and implementing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, launched in April 2023. The disciplinary inspection and supervision cadre team education and rectification campaign is a simultaneous internal clean-up and training initiative targeting the discipline inspection and supervision system itself., persist in using Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to unify thought, will, and action, treat the study and implementation of the Party’s innovative theory as the primary political task of disciplinary inspection departments and the central content of theoretical armament for disciplinary inspection cadres, study it in a timely, thorough, systematic, and practice-linked manner, study it with sincere belief and earnest practice, fully grasp and accurately understand the worldview and methodology of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and uphold and apply the standpoints, viewpoints, and methods that run through it. Place oneself in the picture, place one’s duties in the picture, place one’s work in the picture, study with feeling, learn from it a firmer faith and conviction, a stronger sense of responsibility and commitment, and a higher level of competence in performing one’s duties, and transform the Party’s innovative theory into a powerful force for strengthening ideals, tempering Party spirit, guiding practice, and advancing work, so as to better shoulder the missions and tasks entrusted by the Party and the people.

强化理论武装，坚定理想信念。要利用好开展主题教育和纪检干部队伍教育整顿的学习教育机会，坚持用习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想统一思想、统一意志、统一行动，把学习贯彻党的创新理论作为纪检部门首要政治任务，作为纪检干部理论武装的中心内容，及时跟进学、深入系统学、联系实际学，笃信笃行学，完整把握、准确理解习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的世界观和方法论，坚持好、运用好贯穿其中的立场观点方法。把自己摆进去、把职责摆进去、把工作摆进去，带着感情学，学出更加坚定的信仰信念、更加强烈的责任担当、更加高强的履职本领，把党的创新理论转化为坚定理想、锤炼党性和指导实践、推动工作的强大力量，更好担负起党和人民赋予的使命任务。

Enhance the spirit of struggle and improve the ability to struggle. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out in the report to the 20th National Congress of the CPC that it is necessary to “strengthen the cultivation of cadres’ spirit and ability to struggle, focus on enhancing the capacity to prevent risks, meet challenges, and withstand pressure, take the lead in assuming responsibility and taking action, so that they can be seen in ordinary times, step forward at critical moments, and rise to the occasion in times of crisis.” This is an inevitable requirement for applying the Party’s century-old historical experience on the new journey, carrying forward the great founding spirit of the Party, and waging the great struggle. As the Party’s “disciplinary force,” disciplinary inspection cadres do the work of supervision and the work of offending people; they must uphold their responsibility and commitment, struggle against all persons and matters that undermine the Party’s unity and solidarity and harm the Party’s advanced nature and integrity, and daring to struggle and being good at struggle are extremely important qualities. We must earnestly study and comprehend General Secretary Xi Jinping’s lofty spiritual realm of “I will serve the people with total devotion, holding nothing back” and his strong sense of mission and responsibility of “offending thousands of people rather than failing the 1.4 billion,” strengthen the cultivation of the spirit and ability to struggle, and forge a hard backbone, iron shoulders, and true skills for being good at struggle. Through high-standard, strict professional study and training and continuous on-the-job practice and tempering, we must further enhance our ability to perform our duties and truly play the role of a “probe” and the role of the specialized organ for supervision and discipline enforcement.

增强斗争精神，提高斗争本领。习近平总书记在党的二十大报告中指出，要“加强干部斗争精神和斗争本领养成，着力增强防风险、迎挑战、抗打压能力，带头担当作为，做到平常时候看得出来、关键时刻站得出来、危难关头豁得出来”。这是在新征程上运用党的百年奋斗历史经验、弘扬伟大建党精神、进行伟大斗争的必然要求。纪检干部作为党的“纪律部队”，干的是监督的活、得罪人的活，要坚守责任担当，同一切破坏党的团结统一、损害党的先进纯洁的人和事作斗争，敢于斗争、善于斗争是极其重要的品格。要认真学习领会习近平总书记“我将无我、不负人民”的崇高精神境界、“得罪千百人,不负十四亿”的强烈使命担当，强化斗争精神和斗争本领养成，练就善于斗争的硬脊梁、铁肩膀、真本事。要通过高标准严要求的专业学习培训和持续不断的岗位实践锻炼，进一步提高履职能力，真正发挥好“探头”作用、监督执纪专责机关作用。

Be strict in self-cultivation and self-discipline, and establish a good image. To correct others, one must first correct oneself; discipline inspection cadres must first be personally upstanding before they can fulfill their duties and do their work well. In accordance with the deployment and requirements of this education and rectification campaign [3]3 The “education and rectification campaign” refers to the nationwide campaign launched in 2023 by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Commission of Supervision to strengthen the self-building of discipline inspection and supervision cadres, emphasizing self-purification, self-improvement, self-reform, and self-enhancement., we must conscientiously carry out self-inspection and self-correction, compare ourselves against the Party Constitution, intra-Party regulations, and laws and regulations, identify problems and shortcomings in areas such as ideals and convictions, ideological work style, sense of responsibility and action, and compliance with rules and discipline, strengthen self-supervision and self-restraint, resolutely prevent and combat “lamplight under the lamp” [4]4 “Lamplight under the lamp” (灯下黑) is a Chinese idiom meaning corruption or misconduct that occurs within an organization itself, especially in oversight bodies, where the area directly under a light source is paradoxically darkest. Here it refers to discipline inspection cadres themselves engaging in violations., and effectively forge a discipline inspection iron army of higher purity and greater substance with iron discipline. New situations, new tasks, and new requirements place higher demands on discipline inspection cadres for their own self-building. We must adhere to establishing ourselves and conducting work with Party spirit, bear in mind the “Three Imperatives” [5]5 The “Three Imperatives” (三个务必) were put forward by Xi Jinping at the 20th National Congress of the CPC and practice the “Three Stricts and Three Honests” [6], always focus on self-cultivation and self-nurturing, and strictly demand of ourselves. We must model compliance with the Party Constitution, intra-Party regulations, and laws and regulations, take the lead and set an example in work style construction and moral conduct, consciously accept supervision, truly achieve being upright, clean, and capable, be brave in self-revolution, temper our character and integrity, and with excellent work style and positive action, make due contributions to advancing comprehensive and strict governance of the Party in depth.

严以修身律己，树立良好形象。正人先正己，纪检干部首先要自身过硬，才可能履行好职责、做好工作。要按照这次教育整顿的部署要求，认真开展自查自纠，对照党章党规党纪和法律法规，从理想信念、思想作风、担当作为、遵规守纪等方面查找问题和不足，强化自我监督、自我约束，坚决防治“灯下黑”，切实以铁的纪律锻造纯度更高、成色更足的纪检铁军。新形势新任务新要求，对纪检干部抓好自身建设提出新的更高要求，要坚持以党性立身做事，牢记“三个务必”、践行“三严三实”，始终注重修身养性、从严要求自己。模范遵守党章党规党纪和法律法规，在作风建设和道德品行等方面带头示范，作出表率，自觉接受监督，真正做到自身正、自身净、自身硬，勇于自我革命，砥砺品格操守，以优良的作风和积极的作为，为推进全面从严治党向纵深发展作出应有贡献。
