Further Deepening Reform Comprehensively Must Uphold the Party’s Overall Leadership

The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC [1]1 The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC: The third plenary meeting of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, held in July 2024, which focused on further deepening reform comprehensively. put forward the major principles for further deepening reform comprehensively, with “upholding the Party’s overall leadership” ranked first. This is a scientific summary of the valuable experience of reform and opening up, especially the comprehensive deepening of reform in the New Era [2]2 New Era: The period since the 19th National Congress of the CPC in 2017, marked by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.. It profoundly reveals the fundamental reason for the successful advancement of China’s reform and opening up, and points out the fundamental guarantee for further deepening reform comprehensively and advancing Chinese-path modernization [3]3 Chinese-path modernization: The official term for China’s model of modernization, distinct from Western models, as defined by the CPC.. To implement this major principle, we must deeply understand the great significance of upholding the Party’s overall leadership, deeply grasp the intrinsic connection between upholding the Party’s overall leadership and further deepening reform comprehensively, and effectively integrate Party leadership into all aspects and the entire process of reform, ensuring that reform always advances in the correct political direction.

党的二十届三中全会提出进一步全面深化改革的重大原则，排在首位的就是“坚持党的全面领导”。这是对改革开放以来特别是新时代全面深化改革宝贵经验的科学总结，深刻揭示了我国改革开放成功推进的根本原因，指明了进一步全面深化改革、推进中国式现代化的根本保证。贯彻这一重大原则，就要深刻认识坚持党的全面领导的重大意义，深刻把握坚持党的全面领导与进一步全面深化改革的内在联系，切实把党的领导贯穿改革各方面全过程，确保改革始终沿着正确政治方向前进。

Upholding the Party’s overall leadership contains profound theoretical, historical, and practical logic

坚持党的全面领导蕴含着深刻的理论逻辑、历史逻辑、实践逻辑

The key to running China’s affairs well lies in the Party. The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics [4]4 Socialism with Chinese characteristics: The official ideology of the CPC, combining Marxist principles with China’s specific conditions. and the greatest strength of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics. Upholding the Party’s overall leadership over reform, firmly safeguarding the authority of the Party Central Committee [5]5 Party Central Committee: The highest authority of the CPC between national congresses, currently led by Xi Jinping. and its centralized, unified leadership, giving play to the Party’s core leadership role in exercising overall leadership and coordinating the efforts of all sides, and integrating Party leadership into all aspects and the entire process of reform—these contain profound theoretical, historical, and practical logic.

办好中国的事情，关键在党。中国共产党领导是中国特色社会主义最本质的特征，是中国特色社会主义制度的最大优势。坚持党对改革的全面领导，坚定维护党中央权威和集中统一领导，发挥党总揽全局、协调各方的领导核心作用，把党的领导贯穿改革各方面全过程，蕴含着深刻的理论逻辑、历史逻辑、实践逻辑。

From the perspective of theoretical logic, the issue of the Party’s leadership power is a major issue in Marxist party-building theory. Marxism holds that the proletarian party is the representative of advanced productive forces and relations of production. In the process of establishing and building a new society and leading social revolution, it must form unified steps and consistent actions, and master the leadership power over various social forces, social resources, and social activities. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “The Communist Party of China is the ruling party, and Party leadership is the fundamental guarantee for doing a good job in all work of the Party and the state, and is the fundamental point for China’s political stability, economic development, ethnic unity, and social stability.” [6]6 Xi Jinping’s quote: From a speech by Xi Jinping, emphasizing the centrality of Party leadership. Whether it is the Party, government, military, civilian, or academic spheres, whether it is east, west, south, north, or center, the Party leads everything. On the new journey of the New Era, to push comprehensive deepening of reform into broader and deeper areas and carry reform through to the end, we must uphold the Party’s overall leadership and fully give play to the Party’s core leadership role in exercising overall leadership and coordinating the efforts of all sides.

从理论逻辑看，党的领导权问题是马克思主义建党学说的一个重大问题。马克思主义认为，无产阶级政党是先进生产力和生产关系的代表，在建立和建设新社会、领导社会革命的进程中，必须形成统一的步伐、一致的行动，掌握对各种社会力量、社会资源、社会活动的领导权。习近平总书记指出：“中国共产党是执政党，党的领导是做好党和国家各项工作的根本保证，是我国政治稳定、经济发展、民族团结、社会稳定的根本点”。党政军民学，东西南北中，党是领导一切的。新时代新征程上推动全面深化改革向广度和深度进军、将改革进行到底，必须坚持党的全面领导，充分发挥党总揽全局、协调各方的领导核心作用。

From the perspective of historical logic, upholding the Party’s overall leadership is a scientific summary of the valuable experience of reform and opening up. At the conference celebrating the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up, General Secretary Xi Jinping summarized the valuable experience accumulated by reform and opening up, with the first item being “we must uphold the Party’s leadership over all work.” [7]7 Xi Jinping’s summary: From his speech at the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up in 2018. The history of more than 40 years of reform and opening up tells us that it is precisely because we have always upheld the Party’s centralized, unified leadership that we have been able to achieve a great historical turning point, open a new period of reform and opening up and a new journey for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation [8]8 Great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation: The official goal of the CPC, often referred to as the “Chinese Dream.”, and that we have neither taken the old closed and rigid path nor the wrong path of changing the flag and the system [9]9 Old closed and rigid path / wrong path of changing the flag and the system: Standard CPC rhetoric rejecting both Maoist isolation and Western-style liberalization., but have unswervingly taken the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, continuously advancing the cause of reform and opening up and socialist modernization, promoting the great leap of the Chinese nation from standing up to becoming prosperous, and enabling China to catch up with the times in big strides.

从历史逻辑看，坚持党的全面领导是对改革开放宝贵经验的科学总结。习近平总书记在庆祝改革开放40周年大会上总结改革开放积累的宝贵经验，第一条就是“必须坚持党对一切工作的领导”。改革开放40多年的历史告诉我们，正是因为始终坚持党的集中统一领导，我们才能实现伟大历史转折、开启改革开放新时期和中华民族伟大复兴新征程，才能既不走封闭僵化的老路也不走改旗易帜的邪路，而是坚定不移走中国特色社会主义道路，把改革开放和社会主义现代化建设事业不断推向前进，推进中华民族从站起来到富起来的伟大飞跃，使中国大踏步赶上了时代。

From the perspective of practical logic, upholding the Party’s overall leadership is the fundamental reason for the historic great achievements of comprehensive deepening of reform in the New Era. The Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee [10]10 Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee: Held in 2013, it launched the current phase of comprehensive deepening of reform. opened a new journey of comprehensive deepening of reform in the New Era, systematically and holistically designing and advancing reform. Facing a severe and complex international environment and arduous and heavy tasks of domestic reform, development, and stability, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core united and led the entire Party, the entire military, and the people of all ethnic groups across the country, with great historical initiative, immense political courage, and a strong sense of responsibility, breaking through ideological constraints, breaking through solidified interest barriers, daring to advance into deep water zones, daring to gnaw on hard bones, daring to wade through dangerous shoals, resolutely eliminating institutional and mechanistic obstacles in various aspects, achieving a transformation from partial exploration and ice-breaking breakthroughs to systematic integration and comprehensive deepening of reform. The basic institutional frameworks in various fields have been basically established, and many fields have achieved historic changes, systematic reshaping, and overall reconstruction. Practice has proven that reform is bound to touch upon the adjustment of deep-seated interest patterns and the transformation of the institutional system, and is bound to face various risks and challenges. To ensure that reform does not shift its stance or deviate from its direction, always advances in the correct political direction, and always firmly grasps the value orientation, it is necessary to uphold the Party’s overall leadership.

从实践逻辑看，坚持党的全面领导是新时代全面深化改革取得历史性伟大成就的根本原因。党的十八届三中全会开启了新时代全面深化改革、系统整体设计推进改革新征程。面对严峻复杂的国际环境和艰巨繁重的国内改革发展稳定任务，以习近平同志为核心的党中央团结带领全党全军全国各族人民，以伟大的历史主动、巨大的政治勇气、强烈的责任担当，冲破思想观念束缚，突破利益固化藩篱，敢于突进深水区，敢于啃硬骨头，敢于涉险滩，坚决破除各方面体制机制弊端，实现改革由局部探索、破冰突围到系统集成、全面深化的转变，各领域基础性制度框架基本建立，许多领域实现历史性变革、系统性重塑、整体性重构。实践证明，改革必定要触及深层次利益格局的调整和制度体系的变革，必定会面临这样那样的风险挑战。要确保改革立场不移、方向不偏，始终朝着正确政治方向前进，始终把牢价值取向，必须坚持党的全面领导。

Upholding the Party’s overall leadership provides the fundamental guarantee for further deepening reform comprehensively and advancing Chinese-path modernization

坚持党的全面领导为进一步全面深化改革、推进中国式现代化提供根本保证

The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee emphasized that Party leadership is the fundamental guarantee for further deepening reform comprehensively and advancing Chinese-path modernization. The Party is the highest political leadership force, occupying the core position in the national governance system, and has always been the strong leadership core of all our undertakings. We must deeply grasp the significance of the Party’s overall leadership for further deepening reform comprehensively and advancing Chinese-path modernization.

党的二十届三中全会强调，党的领导是进一步全面深化改革、推进中国式现代化的根本保证。党是最高政治领导力量，处于国家治理体系的核心位置，始终是我们各项事业的坚强领导核心。我们要深刻把握党的全面领导对于进一步全面深化改革、推进中国式现代化的重要意义。

Ensuring the correct direction of further comprehensive deepening of reform. Our reform and opening up has direction, stance, and principles. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “The purpose of advancing reform is to continuously promote the self-improvement and development of our socialist system and to endow socialism with new vitality. The core of this is to uphold and improve Party leadership and to uphold and improve the socialist system with Chinese characteristics; deviating from this line would be completely counterproductive.” [11]11 Xi Jinping’s quote: From a speech on the purpose of reform, emphasizing the core of Party leadership and the socialist system. Only by unswervingly upholding the Party’s overall leadership can we ensure that further comprehensive deepening of reform always adheres to the correct direction; otherwise, it will deviate from the course, lose its soul, and even commit subversive errors. On the new journey, further comprehensive deepening of reform faces complex and ever-changing international and domestic situations. We must be extremely clear-headed and firm in our stance on this major principled issue of right and wrong concerning upholding the Party’s overall leadership.

确保进一步全面深化改革正确方向。我们的改革开放是有方向、有立场、有原则的。习近平总书记指出：“推进改革的目的是要不断推进我国社会主义制度自我完善和发展，赋予社会主义新的生机活力。这里面最核心的是坚持和改善党的领导、坚持和完善中国特色社会主义制度，偏离了这一条，那就南辕北辙了。”只有毫不动摇坚持党的全面领导，才能确保进一步全面深化改革始终坚持正确方向，否则就会偏离航向、丧失灵魂，甚至犯颠覆性错误。新征程上，进一步全面深化改革面临纷繁复杂的国际国内形势，我们必须在坚持党的全面领导这个大是大非的重大原则性问题上头脑十分清醒、立场十分坚定。

Promoting the steady and long-term progress of further comprehensive deepening of reform. Further comprehensive deepening of reform is a broad and profound social transformation, a comprehensive and systematic reform and improvement, and a linkage and integration of reforms and improvements in various fields. This complex systematic project—covering a wide range of fields, involving the profoundness of adjusting interest patterns, the sharpness of contradictions and problems encountered, the arduousness of breaking through institutional and mechanistic obstacles, and the complexity of the situation for waging a great struggle—all require upholding the Party’s overall leadership. We must fully leverage the greatest political advantage of the Party’s overall leadership, strengthen the overall planning and systematic layout of reform, promote better alignment between relations of production and productive forces, between the superstructure and the economic base, and between national governance and social development, coordinate the deployment of economic system reform and reforms in other fields to form synergy, coordinate and handle major relationships such as those between economy and society, government and market, efficiency and fairness, vitality and order, and development and security, and strive to resolve deep-seated institutional obstacles and structural contradictions, ensuring the steady and long-term progress of further comprehensive deepening of reform.

推动进一步全面深化改革行稳致远。进一步全面深化改革，是一场广泛而深刻的社会变革，是全面的系统的改革和改进，是各领域改革和改进的联动和集成。这项复杂的系统工程，涵盖领域的广泛性、触及利益格局调整的深刻性、涉及矛盾和问题的尖锐性、突破体制机制障碍的艰巨性、进行伟大斗争形势的复杂性，都要求坚持党的全面领导。要充分发挥党的全面领导这一最大政治优势，加强对改革的整体谋划、系统布局，推动生产关系和生产力、上层建筑和经济基础、国家治理和社会发展更好相适应，统筹部署经济体制改革和其他各领域改革形成合力，统筹处理好经济和社会、政府和市场、效率和公平、活力和秩序、发展和安全等重大关系，着力破解深层次体制机制障碍和结构性矛盾，确保进一步全面深化改革行稳致远。

Gathering strong forces for further comprehensive deepening of reform. In reform, various ideas and interest demands clash, and various contradictions and risks are intertwined. Whether we can break down solidified interest barriers, build consensus on reform, and gather reform forces directly affects the success or failure of reform. Further comprehensive deepening of reform must firmly rely on the people, respect the people’s principal position and their pioneering spirit. Upholding the Party’s overall leadership can fully leverage the Party’s strong political leadership, ideological guidance, mass organization, and social mobilization capabilities, mobilize and organize the forces of the entire Party and the whole society to advance reform, gather the strength and wisdom for further comprehensive deepening of reform and advancing Chinese-path modernization, form a vibrant situation where reform and innovation vitality competes to emerge and fully flows, and jointly strive in unity for the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation.

凝聚进一步全面深化改革强大力量。在改革中，各种思想观念和利益诉求相互激荡，各种矛盾和风险隐患相互交织，能否打破利益固化藩篱、凝聚改革共识、汇聚改革力量直接关系改革成败。进一步全面深化改革，必须紧紧依靠人民，尊重人民主体地位和首创精神。坚持党的全面领导，可以充分发挥党强大的政治领导力、思想引领力、群众组织力、社会号召力，动员和组织全党和全社会的力量推进改革，凝聚进一步全面深化改革、推进中国式现代化的力量和智慧，形成改革创新活力竞相迸发、充分涌流的生动局面，共同为强国建设、民族复兴伟业而团结奋斗。

Integrating Party leadership into all aspects and the entire process of reform

把党的领导贯穿改革各方面全过程

The Party leadership system is the fundamental leadership system of our country. To improve the Party’s leadership level in further deepening reform comprehensively and advancing Chinese-path modernization, we must make the Party’s overall leadership more scientifically and rationally configured in terms of functions, more complete and perfect in terms of institutional mechanisms, and more efficient in terms of operation and management, transforming the strategic deployment for further comprehensive deepening of reform into a powerful force for advancing Chinese-path modernization. The vast majority of Party members and cadres must always maintain a vigorous and enterprising spirit and a sense of responsibility of “always being at ease” [12]12 “Always being at ease”: A phrase used by Xi Jinping to describe a responsible attitude toward work., implement the strategic deployment of the Party Central Committee on further comprehensive deepening of reform, and promote continuous new progress and new breakthroughs in Chinese-path modernization.

党的领导制度是我国的根本领导制度。提高党对进一步全面深化改革、推进中国式现代化的领导水平，就要推动党的全面领导在职能配置上更加科学合理、在体制机制上更加完备完善、在运行管理上更加高效，把进一步全面深化改革的战略部署转化为推进中国式现代化的强大力量。广大党员干部要始终以奋发有为的精神状态和“时时放心不下”的责任感，贯彻落实党中央关于进一步全面深化改革的战略部署，推动中国式现代化不断取得新进展新突破。

Uphold the Party Central Committee’s centralized, unified leadership over further deepening reform comprehensively. Affairs are in all directions, but the authority lies in the center. [13]13 “Affairs are in all directions, but the authority lies in the center” (事在四方，要在中央) is a classical Chinese expression from the Legalist text *Han Feizi*, emphasizing that while tasks are distributed across localities, ultimate authority must rest with the central leadership. To uphold the Party’s overall leadership, one must first firmly safeguard the authority and centralized, unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, and in particular resolutely achieve the “Two Upholds.” [14]14 The “Two Upholds” (两个维护) refers to upholding General Secretary Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole, and upholding the Party Central Committee’s authority and centralized, unified leadership. Through long-term exploration and practice, especially reform and innovation since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party Central Committee has strengthened the overall design, coordinated planning, and holistic advancement of reform, and has already formed a complete set of effective institutional mechanisms for leading reform. For example, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Party Central Committee and the Political Bureau of the Party Central Committee regularly study and analyze economic and social conditions and decide on major matters; the Central Commission for Comprehensively Deepening Reform is responsible for the top-level design, overall layout, coordinated planning, holistic advancement, and supervision and implementation of major work in the reform field. These institutional mechanisms are suited to reality and effective, and need to be upheld over the long term and continuously improved in step with the times during the process of further deepening reform comprehensively.

坚持党中央对进一步全面深化改革的集中统一领导。事在四方，要在中央。坚持党的全面领导，首先要坚定维护党中央权威和集中统一领导，特别是要坚决做到“两个维护”。经过长期探索实践特别是党的十八大以来的改革创新，党中央加强对改革的总体设计、统筹协调、整体推进，已经形成一整套有效领导改革的体制机制，如中央政治局常委会、中央政治局定期研究分析经济社会形势、决定重大事项，中央全面深化改革委员会负责改革领域重大工作的顶层设计、总体布局、统筹协调、整体推进、督促落实，等等。这些体制机制符合实际、行之有效，需要在进一步全面深化改革中长期坚持并与时俱进不断完善。

Improve the implementation mechanism for the Party Central Committee’s major decisions and deployments. Around implementing and carrying out the Party Central Committee’s major decisions and deployments, the Party Central Committee and relevant departments have established and improved a series of systems, including task division, supervision and inspection, situation reporting, and supervision and accountability. Together with a tight organizational system that is linked from top to bottom and has strong execution, these ensure that the Party Central Committee’s decisions and deployments are implemented seamlessly from start to finish. To further deepen reform comprehensively, all regions and departments must uphold the principle that the part is subordinate to the whole and that minor principles yield to major principles, earnestly fulfill the leadership responsibility for reform within their scope of duties, strictly implement the system of reporting to the Party Central Committee for instructions, resolutely carry out the Party Central Committee’s decisions and deployments, and advance the implementation of various reform tasks to ensure that the Party Central Committee’s orders are carried out without fail. The greatest vitality of reform and innovation lies among the grassroots and the masses; the pioneering spirit of localities, grassroots units, and the masses must be respected and brought into play. Under the premise of ensuring that the Party Central Committee’s orders are carried out without fail, all regions and departments should be encouraged to innovate based on their actual conditions and create fresh, replicable, and scalable experiences. The Party’s mass line for the New Era must be followed well, [15]15 The “mass line” (群众路线) is a core working method of the CPC, requiring that Party work be based on the principle of “from the masses, to the masses,” i.e., gathering the opinions of the people, forming policy, and then implementing it among them. fully absorbing social expectations, the wisdom of the masses, expert opinions, and grassroots experience into reform design, making reform more grounded and enhancing the masses’ sense of gain and recognition. Reform topics should be set around resolving prominent contradictions, the mechanism for generating key reform plans should be optimized, truth should be upheld and errors corrected, and problems should be discovered and deviations rectified in a timely manner.

完善党中央重大决策部署落实机制。围绕贯彻落实党中央重大决策部署，党中央及有关部门建立完善了任务分工、督促检查、情况通报、监督问责等一系列制度，再加上上下贯通、执行有力的严密组织体系，能够确保党中央决策部署得到全程无缝落实。为进一步全面深化改革，各地区各部门要坚持局部服从整体、小道理服从大道理，切实履行对职责范围内改革的领导责任，严格执行向党中央请示报告制度，坚决贯彻党中央决策部署，推进各项改革任务落地见效，确保党中央令行禁止。改革创新最大的活力蕴藏在基层和群众中间，要尊重和发挥地方、基层、群众的首创精神。在保证党中央令行禁止前提下，鼓励各地区各部门结合实际开拓创新，创造可复制、可推广的新鲜经验。要走好新时代党的群众路线，把社会期盼、群众智慧、专家意见、基层经验充分吸收到改革设计中来，使改革更接地气，增强群众获得感、认同度。要围绕解决突出矛盾设置改革议题，优化重点改革方案生成机制，坚持真理、修正错误，及时发现问题、纠正偏差。

Foster a sound intra-Party political ecosystem conducive to further deepening reform comprehensively. To uphold the Party’s overall leadership, it is necessary to always maintain the sobriety and resolve to solve the unique problems of a large Party, deepen the reform of the Party building system, maintain a high degree of consciousness in using the Party’s self-revolution to lead social revolution, and mobilize the entire Party’s initiative, creativity, and enthusiasm for pursuing reform and promoting development. The Party’s innovative theoretical armament must be strengthened, and a long-term mechanism for learning to forge the soul, learning to increase wisdom, learning to correct the style, and learning to promote action must be established and improved. [16]16 “Learning to forge the soul, learning to increase wisdom, learning to correct the style, and learning to promote action” (以学铸魂、以学增智、以学正风、以学促干) is a four-character slogan from the CPC’s theoretical study campaigns, summarizing the goals of Party education. The reform of the cadre and personnel system must be deepened, a clear orientation for selecting and employing people that emphasizes practical work, actual performance, and a sense of responsibility must be established, and cadres must be guided to establish and practice a correct outlook on political performance and comprehensively improve their capacity for modernization. [17]17 “Outlook on political performance” (政绩观) refers to a cadre’s understanding of what constitutes meritorious achievement in office; the “correct” outlook emphasizes long-term, people-centered results over short-term, superficial accomplishments. The political and organizational functions of Party organizations must be strengthened, effective pathways for Party building in new economic organizations, new social organizations, and new employment groups must be explored, the Party Central Committee’s reform decisions and deployments must be thoroughly implemented and carried out, and the masses in all fields must be organized and united. The construction of a clean and honest Party conduct and the fight against corruption must be advanced in depth, the implementation of the central Party leadership’s Eight-Point Regulations must be pursued with perseverance, [18]18 The “Eight-Point Regulations” (八项规定) are a set of rules issued by the Party Central Committee in 2012 to curb extravagance, bureaucracy, and formalism among Party officials. formalism and bureaucratism must be resolutely opposed, and the burden on grassroots units must be effectively reduced. The working mechanism for integrating the promotion of not daring to be corrupt, not being able to be corrupt, and not wanting to be corrupt must be improved, [19]19 “Not daring to be corrupt, not being able to be corrupt, and not wanting to be corrupt” (不敢腐、不能腐、不想腐) is a three-pronged anti-corruption framework: deterrence, institutional prevention, and ideological transformation. the soil and conditions that breed corruption must be resolutely eradicated, and efforts must be made to foster a political ecosystem of clean seas and clear rivers [20]20 “Clean seas and clear rivers” (海晏河清) is a classical Chinese idiom symbolizing a peaceful, well-governed society free from corruption and disorder. and a sound environment for reform.

营造有利于进一步全面深化改革的良好党内政治生态。坚持党的全面领导，必须时刻保持解决大党独有难题的清醒和坚定，深化党的建设制度改革，保持以党的自我革命引领社会革命的高度自觉，调动全党抓改革、促发展的积极性、主动性、创造性。要加强党的创新理论武装，建立健全以学铸魂、以学增智、以学正风、以学促干长效机制。深化干部人事制度改革，鲜明树立重实干、重实绩、重担当的用人导向，引导干部树立和践行正确政绩观、全面提高现代化建设能力。增强党组织政治功能和组织功能，探索加强新经济组织、新社会组织、新就业群体党的建设有效途径，把党中央关于改革的决策部署贯彻好落实好，把各领域广大群众组织凝聚好。深入推进党风廉政建设和反腐败斗争，锲而不舍落实中央八项规定精神，坚决反对形式主义、官僚主义，切实为基层减负。完善一体推进不敢腐、不能腐、不想腐工作机制，着力铲除腐败滋生的土壤和条件，努力营造海晏河清的政治生态和良好的改革环境。
