Striving to Open Up New Horizons in Party Building and Organizational Work

For a nation to stand at the forefront of the times, it cannot for a moment do without theoretical thinking, nor for a moment do without correct ideological guidance. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, General Secretary Xi Jinping, centering on the major epochal question of what kind of long-term governing Marxist party to build and how to build it, has highlighted the main theme and main line of comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, put forward a series of new concepts, new ideas, and new strategies for governing, rejuvenating, and strengthening the Party, and formed Xi Jinping’s important thought on Party building. To thoroughly study and implement this important thought, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee organized the compilation of *An Introduction to Xi Jinping’s Important Thought on Party Building* (hereinafter referred to as the *Introduction*). The *Introduction* is rich in content, clear in viewpoints, profound in argumentation, and rigorous in logic; it is strong in political nature, ideological content, systematicity, and guidance, and serves as an authoritative auxiliary reading material for the vast number of Party members and cadres to deeply study and understand Xi Jinping’s important thought on Party building. At present, we must study and use the *Introduction* well, promote the study to go deeper and more practical, and further thoroughly study, deeply comprehend, fully integrate, truly believe in, and steadfastly practice Xi Jinping’s important thought on Party building.

一个民族要走在时代前列，就一刻不能没有理论思维，一刻不能没有正确思想指引。党的十八大以来，习近平总书记围绕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，突出全面从严治党这个主题主线，提出一系列管党治党、兴党强党的新理念新思想新战略，形成了习近平总书记关于党的建设的重要思想。为深入学习贯彻这一重要思想，中央组织部组织编写了《习近平总书记关于党的建设的重要思想概论》（以下简称《概论》）。《概论》内容丰富、观点鲜明，论述深刻、逻辑严密，政治性、思想性、系统性、指导性强，是广大党员、干部深入学习领会习近平总书记关于党的建设的重要思想的权威辅助读物。当前，要学好用好《概论》，推动学习往深里走、实里走，把习近平总书记关于党的建设的重要思想进一步学深悟透、融会贯通、真信笃行。

Study and Use the *Introduction* Well to Deeply Understand the Great Significance of Xi Jinping’s Important Thought on Party Building

学好用好《概论》，深刻认识习近平总书记关于党的建设的重要思想的重大意义

Xi Jinping’s important thought on Party building is the latest theoretical achievement in the field of Party building that adheres to the Two Integrations [1]1 The "historical cycle of rise and fall" refers to the pattern observed in Chinese dynastic history, where a ruling house rises, flourishes, and then declines and falls. Mao Zedong famously discussed this with Huang Yanpei in 1945, and Xi Jinping has proposed "self-revolution" as the Party's second answer to breaking out of this cycle, the first being "people's supervision" (让人民来监督政府). and applies the “Six Musts” [2]2 The "four major tests" are tests of governance, reform and opening up, the market economy, and the external environment. The "four dangers" are the dangers of spiritual slackness, insufficient capability, detachment from the masses, and corruption. These are standard formulations in CPC discourse.; it constitutes the “Party building chapter” of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, providing a sharp ideological weapon for governing the Party effectively, managing the Party with strength, and building the Party with success. In its introductory section, the *Introduction* profoundly elucidates the great theoretical significance, practical significance, and world significance of this important thought.

习近平总书记关于党的建设的重要思想，是党建领域坚持“两个结合”、运用“六个必须坚持”的最新理论成果，构成习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的“党建篇”，为管党有方、治党有力、建党有效提供了锐利思想武器。《概论》在绪论部分，深刻阐明了这一重要思想的重大理论意义、实践意义、世界意义。

This important thought has profound theoretical origins. Marx and Engels founded the Marxist theory of Party building, laying the theoretical foundation for the construction of a proletarian party. Lenin led the October Revolution in Russia to victory, turning socialism from theory into reality, and also enabling the Marxist theory of Party building to be tested, enriched, and developed in practice. Our Party was established in accordance with Marxist principles of Party building. In the process of adapting Marxism to the Chinese context, it has always adhered to using Marxist standpoints, viewpoints, and methods to analyze, study, and resolve the contradictions and problems encountered in Party building, continuously deepening the understanding of the laws governing the construction of a Marxist party, and forming a Chinese Marxist theoretical system of Party building. The Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core adheres unswervingly to the guiding position of Marxism, upholds and develops the Party building theories of Marx, Engels, and Lenin, as well as Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of the Three Represents, and the Scientific Outlook on Development concerning Party building, bravely advances theoretical innovation, and has formed a scientific, complete, logically rigorous, and organically unified important thought on Party building.

这一重要思想，具有深厚的理论渊源。马克思、恩格斯创立了马克思主义建党学说，为无产阶级政党建设奠定了理论基础。列宁领导俄国十月革命取得胜利，使社会主义从理论变为现实，也使马克思主义建党学说在实践中得到检验、丰富和发展。我们党是按照马克思主义建党原则建立起来的，在推进马克思主义中国化进程中，始终坚持用马克思主义立场观点方法分析、研究、解决党的建设中遇到的矛盾和问题，不断深化对马克思主义政党建设规律的认识，形成了中国化的马克思主义党建理论体系。以习近平同志为核心的党中央，坚持马克思主义指导地位不动摇，坚持和发展马克思、恩格斯和列宁的建党学说，毛泽东思想、邓小平理论、“三个代表”重要思想、科学发展观关于党的建设的理论，勇于推进理论创新，形成了科学完备、逻辑严密、有机统一的党的建设的重要思想。

This important thought has a rich practical foundation. To whatever stage the Party’s and the people’s cause develops, Party building must advance to that stage, and the theory of Party building will also develop to that stage. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, focusing on the general trend of social development, the century-old changes in the world, and the great cause of national rejuvenation, has summarized and applied the historical experience of the Party’s century-long struggle, especially the practical experience of Party building and state governance in the New Era, scientifically answered the major theoretical and practical questions raised by advancing the great new project of Party building in the New Era, and guided Party building to achieve historic and groundbreaking achievements, producing all-round and deep-seated impacts. Xi Jinping’s important thought on Party building epitomizes the grand thinking, grand framework, and grand wisdom of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core in advancing the great new project of Party building in the New Era; it is strategic, holistic, and creative, and has demonstrated powerful truth force in guiding the resolution of prominent problems in Party building and advancing the great cause of the Party.

这一重要思想，具有丰厚的实践沃土。党和人民事业发展到什么阶段，党的建设就要推进到什么阶段，党的建设理论也会发展到什么阶段。党的十八大以来，以习近平同志为核心的党中央着眼社会发展大势、世界百年变局、民族复兴伟业，总结运用党的百年奋斗历史经验特别是新时代党的建设和治国理政实践经验，科学回答推进新时代党的建设新的伟大工程面临的重大理论和实践问题，指引党的建设取得历史性、开创性成就，产生全方位、深层次影响。习近平总书记关于党的建设的重要思想，集中体现了以习近平同志为核心的党中央推进新时代党的建设新的伟大工程的大思路、大格局、大智慧，具有战略性、全局性、创造性，在指导解决党的建设突出问题、推进党的伟大事业的实践中彰显了强大的真理力量。

This important thought has a broad global vision. The Communist Party of China is a party that seeks happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, and it is also a party that seeks progress for humanity and harmony for the world. At present, changes in the world, changes in the times, and changes in history are unfolding in ways unprecedented in a century. On the one hand, the historical trend of peace, development, cooperation, and mutual benefit is unstoppable; the common aspiration of the people and the general trend determine that the future of humanity is ultimately bright. On the other hand, hegemonic, domineering, and bullying acts such as the strong bullying the weak, taking by force and trickery, and zero-sum games are deeply harmful; the peace deficit, development deficit, security deficit, and governance deficit are worsening; and human society faces

这一重要思想，具有宽广的世界眼光。中国共产党是为中国人民谋幸福、为中华民族谋复兴的党，也是为人类谋进步、为世界谋大同的党。当前，世界之变、时代之变、历史之变正以前所未有的方式展开。一方面，和平、发展、合作、共赢的历史潮流不可阻挡，人心所向、大势所趋决定了人类前途终归光明。另一方面，恃强凌弱、巧取豪夺、零和博弈等霸权霸道霸凌行径危害深重，和平赤字、发展赤字、安全赤字、治理赤字加重，人类社会面临前所未有的挑战。习近平总书记关于党的建设的重要思想，坚持胸怀天下，洞悉世界政治经济发展大势，汲取世界政党兴衰成败经验教训，集中反映了时代发展变化对新时代党的建设新的伟大工程提出的新任务新要求，打破了西方政党制度的迷思，以其崇高的价值取向、独特的思想魅力为全球化时代世界政治文明发展提供了中国主张、中国方案，为人类政治文明进步贡献了中国智慧、中国力量，彰显了博大胸怀和恢弘气度。

学好用好《概论》，深入把握习近平总书记关于党的建设的重要思想的科学体系和丰富内涵

General Secretary Xi Jinping's important thought on Party building adheres to the interconnection of history and reality, the correlation between governing the Party and governing the country, and the integration of theory and practice, forming a scientific, complete, and mature theoretical system of Party building. The main body of the "Overview" consists of thirteen chapters, systematically elucidating the core essence, spiritual substance, rich connotations, and practical requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important thought on Party building, clarifying the core viewpoints and important concepts of each "upholding," providing key guidance for comprehensively understanding and holistically grasping this important thought.

习近平总书记关于党的建设的重要思想，坚持历史和现实相贯通、管党治党和治国理政相关联、理论和实际相结合，构成一个科学、完整、成熟的党建理论体系。《概论》的主体部分为十三章，系统阐释习近平总书记关于党的建设的重要思想的核心要义、精神实质、丰富内涵、实践要求，明确每一个“坚持”的核心观点和重要理念，为全面理解、整体把握这一重要思想提供关键指导。

First, uphold and strengthen the Party's overall leadership. This is the fundamental principle of Party building. General Secretary Xi Jinping points out that the leadership of the Communist Party of China is the most essential feature of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the greatest strength of the socialist system with Chinese characteristics; the Party is the highest political leadership force. Party leadership is comprehensive, systematic, and holistic, and must be implemented comprehensively, systematically, and holistically. It is necessary to improve the Party's leadership system that commands the overall situation and coordinates all parties, perfect the implementation mechanism for major decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, and implement Party leadership in all fields, aspects, and links of governing the Party and governing the country. This one "upholding" profoundly reveals the inherent unity between Party leadership and socialism with Chinese characteristics, highlights the extreme importance of the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee and its status and role in the Party's leadership system, and further deepens our Party's understanding of the essence of socialism and the essential stipulations of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

第一，坚持和加强党的全面领导。这是党的建设的根本原则。习近平总书记指出，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，党是最高政治领导力量。党的领导是全面的、系统的、整体的，必须全面、系统、整体加以落实。必须健全总揽全局、协调各方的党的领导制度体系，完善党中央重大决策部署落实机制，把党的领导落实到管党治党、治国理政各领域各方面各环节。这一个坚持，深刻揭示了党的领导与中国特色社会主义的内在统一性，凸显了党中央集中统一领导的极端重要性和在党的领导体系中的地位作用，进一步深化了我们党对社会主义本质论和中国特色社会主义本质规定性的认识。

Second, uphold leading social revolution through the Party's self-revolution. General Secretary Xi Jinping points out that self-revolution is the second answer for the Party to escape the historical cycle of rise and fall [1]1 The "historical cycle of rise and fall" refers to the pattern observed in Chinese dynastic history, where a ruling house rises, flourishes, and then declines and falls. Mao Zedong famously discussed this with Huang Yanpei in 1945, and Xi Jinping has proposed "self-revolution" as the Party's second answer to breaking out of this cycle, the first being "people's supervision" (让人民来监督政府)., and having the courage to self-revolution is the Party's most distinctive character. The "four major tests" and "four dangers" [2]2 The "four major tests" are tests of governance, reform and opening up, the market economy, and the external environment. The "four dangers" are the dangers of spiritual slackness, insufficient capability, detachment from the masses, and corruption. These are standard formulations in CPC discourse. facing the Party will exist for a long time; it is necessary to always maintain the sobriety and firmness to solve the unique problems of a large Party, improve the system for comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, comprehensively advance the Party's self-purification, self-improvement, self-renewal, and self-enhancement, and continuously lead social revolution through the Party's self-revolution. This one "upholding" profoundly reveals the dialectical relationship between self-revolution and social revolution, which accompany and mutually promote each other, and finds an effective path for building a long-term governing Marxist party.

第二，坚持以党的自我革命引领社会革命。习近平总书记指出，自我革命是党跳出治乱兴衰历史周期率的第二个答案，勇于自我革命是我们党最鲜明的品格。党面临的“四大考验”“四种危险”将长期存在，必须时刻保持解决大党独有难题的清醒和坚定，健全全面从严治党体系，全面推进党的自我净化、自我完善、自我革新、自我提高，不断以党的自我革命引领社会革命。这一个坚持，深刻揭示了自我革命和社会革命相伴相随、互促共进的辩证关系，找到了建设长期执政的马克思主义政党的有效路径。

Third, persist in using the Party’s political building to lead all aspects of Party building. Political questions are at all times fundamental major questions. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out that the Party’s political building is the fundamental building of the Party, determining the direction and effectiveness of Party building.

This “one persistence” illuminates the extreme importance of the Party’s political building and its functional positioning of establishing the foundation and consolidating the root in Party building in the New Era, highlighting the fundamental issues and key measures of Party building in the New Era.

第三，坚持以党的政治建设统领党的建设各项工作。政治问题，任何时候都是根本性的大问题。习近平总书记指出，党的政治建设是党的根本性建设，决定党的建设方向和效果。必须把党的政治建设摆在党的建设首位，把准政治方向，坚持党的政治领导，夯实政治根基，涵养政治生态，防范政治风险，永葆政治本色，提高政治判断力、政治领悟力、政治执行力，确保全党在政治立场、政治方向、政治原则、政治道路上同党中央保持高度一致，确保党的团结统一。这一个坚持，昭示了党的政治建设的极端重要性和在新时代党的建设中立根固本的功能定位，凸显了新时代党的建设的根本性问题和关键举措。

Seventh, persist in cultivating a high-caliber cadre contingent that is loyal, clean, and responsible. Once the political line is determined, cadres are the decisive factor. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out that Party cadres are the backbone force of the Party and the state’s undertakings. It is necessary to uphold the Party’s principle of managing cadres, to adhere to the standards of having both moral integrity and professional competence, giving priority to moral integrity, recruiting from all corners of the country, and appointing people on their merits, to uphold the standards for good cadres in the New Era, and to strictly enforce the political and integrity checks. It is necessary to strengthen cadres’ ideological tempering, political training, practical exercise, and professional training, to combine strict management with care and support, to improve the incentive mechanism for cadres to take on responsibilities and act, and to better stimulate the initiative, creativity, and enthusiasm of the vast number of cadres.

Eleventh, persist in improving the oversight system of the Party and the state. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out that oversight is an intrinsic element of governance and occupies an important position in managing the Party, governing the state, and administering political affairs. It is necessary to improve the oversight system that features unified leadership of the Party, full coverage, authority, and high efficiency, perfect the mechanisms for restricting and supervising the exercise of power, take intra-Party oversight as the leading factor, promote the coordination and integration of various types of oversight, and ensure that power is exercised in the sunlight.

第十二，坚持制度治党、依规治党。习近平总书记指出，加强党内法规制度建设是全面从严治党的长远之策、根本之策，要把依规治党当作管党治党基本方式。必须完善党的自我革命制度规范体系，扎细扎密扎牢制度的笼子，以党章为根本，以民主集中制为核心，不断完善党内法规制度体系，增强党内法规权威性和执行力，形成坚持真理、修正错误，发现问题、纠正偏差的机制，为新时代党的建设提供根本性、全局性、稳定性、长期性保障。这一个坚持，深化了对中国共产党管党治党、治国理政规律的认识，彰显了中国共产党之治、中国之治的独特优势，为管党治党方式的科学化制度化指明了正确方向和方法路径。

Thirteenth, persist in implementing the political responsibility for comprehensive and strict governance of the Party. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out that to govern the Party strictly, it is necessary to strengthen the awareness of managing and governing the Party and to fulfill the responsibility for managing and governing the Party. It is essential to consolidate the primary responsibility of Party committees (Party leadership groups) at all levels for comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, to urge secretaries of Party committees (Party leadership groups) at all levels to shoulder the responsibility as the first responsible person, to have members of the leadership team implement the "dual responsibility for one post,"[6] to strengthen the supervisory responsibility of specialized organs, to ensure that pressure is transmitted layer by layer and responsibilities are interlinked, and to promote the implementation and fulfillment of Party-building responsibilities. This persistence elucidates the specific connotations and practical requirements for establishing a responsibility system with clear subjects and explicit demands, reveals the key to comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, and provides effective guarantees for promoting the implementation of various deployments for comprehensive and strict governance of the Party and their deepening advancement.

第十三，坚持落实全面从严治党政治责任。习近平总书记指出，从严治党，必须增强管党治党意识、落实管党治党责任。必须压实各级党委（党组）全面从严治党主体责任，推动各级党委（党组）书记扛起第一责任人责任，班子成员落实“一岗双责”，强化专责机关监督责任，压力层层传导、责任环环相扣，推动党建责任落实落地。这一个坚持，阐明了健全主体明确、要求清晰的责任体系的具体内涵和实践要求，昭示了全面从严治党的关键所在，为推动全面从严治党各项部署落到实处并向纵深发展，提供了有效保证。
