Implementing the Spirit of the Eight-Point Regulations to Advance Chinese-Path Modernization

Recently, the Party Central Committee decided to carry out in-depth study and education on implementing the spirit of the Eight-Point Regulations within the entire Party, from after the 2025 Two Sessions [1]1 “Establishing credibility by moving a tree” (徙木立信) refers to a story from the Warring States period (475–221 BCE) in which Shang Yang, a reformer of the Qin state, moved a log to demonstrate the reliability of his laws, thereby winning public trust. Xi Jinping used this allusion to July. The formulation and implementation of the Eight-Point Regulations was the opening move and the act of establishing credibility [2]2 “Establishing credibility” (徙木立信) is a classical allusion to Shang Yang’s reforms in the State of Qin (4th century BCE), where he moved a log to demonstrate the government’s commitment to enforcing new laws. by which the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has persistently rectified work styles and advanced the Party’s self-revolution since the 18th National Congress of the CPC. It has played an important role in the revolutionary forging of comprehensive and strict governance of the Party in the New Era. On the new journey, the entire Party must deeply implement the spirit of the Eight-Point Regulations, use work style construction to strengthen Party leadership, unite the Party and the people with fine work styles, and provide a safeguard for the steady and long-term advancement of Chinese-path modernization.

近日，党中央决定，自2025年全国两会后至7月在全党开展深入贯彻中央八项规定精神学习教育。制定和落实中央八项规定是党的十八大以来以习近平同志为核心的党中央持之以恒正风肃纪、推进党的自我革命的开局破题之法和徙木立信之举，在新时代全面从严治党的革命性锻造中发挥了重要作用。新征程上，全党要深入贯彻中央八项规定精神，用作风建设强化党的领导，以优良作风凝聚党心民心，为推进中国式现代化行稳致远保驾护航。

Formulating and Implementing the Eight-Point Regulations Is the Entry Point for Promoting Work Style Construction

制定执行中央八项规定是推动作风建设的切入口

The issue of work style concerns the survival or extinction of a ruling party; this is valuable experience accumulated by our Party over more than a century of struggle. Attaching great importance to work style construction is a political advantage our Party has demonstrated in its long-term leadership of revolution, construction, and reform and opening up. Entering the New Era, facing a new historical juncture and developmental requirements, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core inherited and carried forward the glorious traditions and fine work styles accumulated over the Party’s long history. Taking the formulation and implementation of the Eight-Point Regulations as the opening move, it pushed Party work style construction into a new stage. Shortly after the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Politburo meeting reviewed and approved the “Eight-Point Regulations of the 18th Politburo on Improving Work Style and Maintaining Close Ties with the Masses.” Taking strengthening Party work style construction as the main line, it made systematic arrangements in eight aspects, including investigation and research, meeting and document styles, official visits, and diligence and thrift. This was the first important intra-Party regulation formulated by the Party Central Committee after the 18th National Congress of the CPC, and it became a landmark measure for the Party to strengthen work style construction in the New Era.

作风问题关乎执政党的生死存亡，这是我们党在百余年奋斗历程中积累的宝贵经验。高度重视作风建设，是我们党在长期领导革命、建设、改革中展现出的政治优势。进入新时代，面对新的历史方位和发展要求，以习近平同志为核心的党中央继承和发扬党长期积累形成的光荣传统和优良作风，以制定和落实中央八项规定开局破题，推动党的作风建设进入新阶段。党的十八大召开后不久，中央政治局会议便审议通过了《十八届中央政治局关于改进工作作风、密切联系群众的八项规定》，以加强党的作风建设为主线，从调查研究、会风文风、出访活动、勤俭节约等八个方面作出系统部署，这是党的十八大之后党中央制定的第一部重要党内法规，成为新时代党加强作风建设的标志性举措。

The Eight-Point Regulations focus on the top leading the bottom, forming a demonstrative and driving “leading-geese effect.” [3]3 “Leading-geese effect” (头雁效应) is a contemporary Chinese political metaphor meaning that the actions of top leaders set an example for others to follow, analogous to the lead goose in a V-formation. Those skilled in prohibition first prohibit themselves before prohibiting others. [4]4 This is a classical Chinese saying from the Xunzi (3rd century BCE), emphasizing that rulers must first discipline themselves before disciplining others. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “Work style construction must start with leading cadres, and leading cadres must first start with central leaders.” From the text, the Eight-Point Regulations are behavioral norms for members of the Politburo, but at the same time, the issuance of the Eight-Point Regulations set a benchmark for work style construction for the entire Party, the entire military, and the entire country, playing an important guiding role and promoting a general improvement in the atmosphere of the entire Party from top to bottom. The “Detailed Implementation Rules for the Eight-Point Regulations” clearly require: “All regions and departments shall, in strict accordance with these rules and in light of actual conditions, formulate more specific and more operable implementation methods covering leading cadres at all levels, and firmly implement them to ensure results.” The Eight-Point Regulations combine the specificity of leading by example with the universality of demonstrative driving. Starting from improving the work style of Party members and cadres, they establish a clear reference through the personal practice of central leading cadres. They combine the top-level design of the central authorities with the subjective initiative at all levels, effectively leveraging the enthusiasm of both the central and local levels, so that work style construction is truly implemented and achieves practical results.

中央八项规定着眼以上率下，形成示范带动“头雁效应”。善禁者，先禁其身而后人。习近平总书记指出：“作风建设要从领导干部做起，领导干部首先要从中央领导做起。”从文本上看，中央八项规定是对中央政治局成员的行为规范，但同时中央八项规定的出台是面向全党全国全军树立起作风建设的标杆，具有重要的导向性作用，推动了全党上下风气普遍向好。《中央八项规定实施细则》明确要求：“各地区各部门要严格按照本细则，结合实际情况，制定涵盖各级领导干部的更加具体、更便于操作的贯彻落实办法，狠抓落实，确保抓出成效。”中央八项规定将以身作则的具体性和示范带动的普遍性相结合，从改进党员干部工作作风入手，以中央领导干部的身体力行树立明确参照；将中央的顶层设计与各级的主观能动性相结合，有效发挥了中央和地方的积极性，使作风建设真正落到实处、取得实效。

The Eight-Point Regulations target specific problems, promoting targeted work style construction. Party work style is a complex concept involving many aspects. If work style construction is too general, it easily becomes formalistic, turning into “shouting slogans”; if it is too trivial, it easily leads to everyone going their own way, turning into “going through the motions.” The Eight-Point Regulations are eight aspects of improving work style in the New Era, refined and summarized by the Party Central Committee in response to the prominent problems facing Party work style construction under the new situation. They clarify both the basic requirements for improving work style and the direction for developing a sound political ecosystem. On the basis of the Eight-Point Regulations, the Party Central Committee and Party organizations at all levels have successively issued a series of systems for maintaining ties with and serving the masses and regulating the exercise of power, making strict, detailed, and operable norms for all aspects of intra-Party life. The Eight-Point Regulations target specific problems, emphasize implementation, effectively solve the key proposition of what to grasp and how to grasp work style construction under the new situation, and provide an entry point and a mobilization order for Party work style construction in the New Era.

中央八项规定针对具体问题，促进作风建设有的放矢。党的作风是一个复杂的概念，涉及方方面面。作风建设若失之笼统，则容易流于形式，变成“喊口号”；若失之琐碎，则容易各行其是，变成“走过场”。中央八项规定是党中央针对新形势下党的作风建设面临的突出问题，提炼概括出的新时代改进工作作风的八个方面，既明确了改进工作作风的基本要求，又指出了良好政治生态的发展方向。在中央八项规定的基础上，党中央和地方各级党组织陆续出台了一系列联系服务群众、规范权力运行的制度，对党内生活的方方面面作出了既严格细致又有可操作性的规范。中央八项规定面向具体问题，重在贯彻执行，有效解决了新形势下作风建设抓什么、怎么抓的关键命题，为新时代党的作风建设提供了切入口、发出了动员令。

Strengthening Party Leadership through Sustained Work Style Construction

以持续作风建设强化党的领导

The Eight-Point Regulations are the “golden business card” of Party work style construction in the New Era. Work style construction is an eternal theme of Party building, related to the Party’s image, prestige, and success or failure. It is a key link for the Party to forever maintain its original aspiration and founding mission, consolidate its ruling foundation, and win historical initiative. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, from the breakthrough of issuing the Eight-Point Regulations, to the key rectification according to the Eight-Point Regulations, to the long-term consolidation through implementing the spirit of the Eight-Point Regulations, Party work style construction in the New Era has been continuously deepened, making the Party’s leadership over various undertakings stronger and more powerful, forging a strong leading core for advancing Chinese-path modernization.

中央八项规定是新时代党的作风建设的“金色名片”。作风建设是党的建设的永恒主题，关系到党的形象、威望和兴衰成败，是我们党永葆初心使命、巩固执政基础、赢得历史主动的关键环节。党的十八大以来，从出台中央八项规定破题切入，到按照中央八项规定重点纠治，再到以贯彻中央八项规定精神长期巩固，新时代党的作风建设持续深化，推动党对各项事业的领导更加坚强有力，为推进中国式现代化锻造了坚强领导核心。

Using work style construction to polish the original aspiration and founding mission, shaping a Party with firm ideals and convictions. Work style construction is a unique creation of the Communist Party of China in practice. Looking at the world, few other political parties have made such strict and detailed norms for the working methods and lifestyles of their own members. Party work style is the external manifestation of the advanced nature and integrity of a Marxist political party, and the explicit characteristic of the original aspiration and founding mission of Chinese Communists. Ideals and convictions are the foundation for Communists to establish themselves, determining the value pursuit, spiritual realm, and self-cultivation of Party members, and fundamentally determining the work style of Party members. Therefore, Party spirit and Party work style are an interconnected and dialectically unified community. Party work style construction starts from practical actions, forms synergy with other aspects of Party building, treats both symptoms and root causes, cultivates both internally and externally, and jointly controls the “master switch” of Party members’ ideals and convictions. The Party insists on grasping Party spirit, work style, and discipline together in practice, transforming the firm ideals and convictions of Party members and cadres into conscious work style practice, and strengthening the mission, responsibility, and sense of duty of Communists in the process of deeply advancing work style construction.

以作风建设擦亮初心使命，塑造信仰坚定的党。作风建设是中国共产党在实践中的独特创造。放眼世界，几乎没有其他政党曾对自己成员的工作方式、生活方式作出过如此严格详尽的规范。党的作风是马克思主义政党先进性和纯洁性的外在表现，是中国共产党人初心使命的显性特征。理想信念是共产党人安身立命的根本，决定着党员的价值追求、精神境界、自我修养，从根本上决定着党员的作风。因此，党性与党风是相互联系、辩证统一的共同体。党的作风建设从实际行动出发，与其他党的建设内容形成合力，标本兼治、内外兼修，共同把好党员理想信念这个“总开关”。党在实践中坚持党性党风党纪一起抓，将党员干部坚定的理想信念转化为自觉的作风实践，在深入推进作风建设中强化共产党人的使命担当、责任意识。

Using work style construction to enhance governance capacity, building a Party with strong leadership. Formalism, bureaucratism, hedonism, and extravagance are major enemies affecting our Party’s leadership level and long-term governance capacity. Work style construction, through specific correction of the behavior of Party members and cadres, resolutely struggles against the “four undesirable work styles,” [5]5 The “four undesirable work styles” (四风) are formalism, bureaucratism, hedonism, and extravagance, which have been the main targets of the Party’s work style rectification since the 18th National Congress. regulates behavioral patterns, and promptly solves the problem of “deviation” in the process of policy implementation. On the one hand, through work style construction, it rectifies formalism and bureaucratism, eliminates undesirable practices such as dereliction of duty and inaction, arbitrary use of power and disorderly conduct, unblocks blockages and sticking points in the implementation of major decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, and promotes the formation of a political ecosystem of practical responsibility. On the other hand, through work style construction, it rectifies the hidden dangers of hedonism and extravagance, corrects the privileged thinking and degenerate behavior of Party members and cadres, breaks the “comfort zone” of being content with the status quo and unwilling to make progress, enables Party members and cadres to maintain and carry forward the fine tradition of hard struggle, and promotes the formation of a state of mind of striving and making progress.

以作风建设提升执政能力，建设领导有力的党。形式主义、官僚主义、享乐主义和奢靡之风是影响我们党领导水平和长期执政能力的大敌。作风建设通过对党员干部行为的具体纠偏，与“四风”问题作坚决斗争，规范行为模式，及时解决政策执行过程中的“走样”问题。一方面，通过作风建设纠治形式主义、官僚主义问题，消除玩忽职守不作为、任性用权乱作为等不良风气，疏通贯彻党中央重大决策部署过程中的堵点卡点，促进实干担当政治生态的形成。另一方面，通过作风建设整治享乐主义、奢靡之风隐患，纠正党员干部的特权思想与堕落行为，打破安于现状、不思进取的“舒适区”，使党员干部保持和发扬艰苦奋斗的优良传统，促进奋发有为精神状态的形成。

Using work style construction to assist self-revolution, tempering a sober and self-aware Party. Party work style construction is an important component of comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, and a key link with guiding significance and endogenous role in the Party’s self-revolution. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “Why did the Party Central Committee start with the Eight-Point Regulations to grasp the construction of a clean and honest Party and the fight against corruption? It is because the ‘four undesirable work styles’ and corruption problems are mutually reinforcing, and are the hotbed for the growth of corruption.” The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection [6]6 The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection was held in January 2025, focusing on anti-corruption and discipline enforcement. clearly emphasized that the interweaving of unhealthy practices and corruption problems is a prominent issue that must be focused on solving in the current stage of building a clean and honest Party and the fight against corruption. Work style construction, through guiding and regulating the behavior of Party members and cadres, plays a role in concretizing, detailing, and making the Party’s self-revolution long-term effective. The degeneration of Party members and cadres often begins with the formation of bad work styles. Work style construction is the first internal line of defense against corruption and degeneration. “Rectifying work styles” and “enforcing discipline” complement each other. By persistently advancing work style construction, it extends the normative dimension of self-revolution in time and space, achieving prevention before problems arise and nipping problems in the bud.

以作风建设助力自我革命，磨砺清醒自觉的党。党的作风建设是全面从严治党的重要组成部分，是党的自我革命中具有引领意义和内生作用的关键环节。习近平总书记指出：“为什么党中央要从八项规定入手抓党风廉政建设？就是因为‘四风’和腐败问题互为表里，是腐败滋长的温床。”二十届中央纪委四次全会明确强调，不正之风和腐败问题相互交织，是现阶段党风廉政建设和反腐败斗争要着力解决的突出问题。作风建设通过对党员干部行为的引导和规范，起到了将党的自我革命具体化、细节化、长效化的作用。党员干部的蜕化变质往往始于不良作风的形成，作风建设是守住拒腐防变的第一道内部防线。“正风”和“肃纪”二者相辅相成，通过持之以恒推进作风建设，在时间和空间上延展了自我革命的规范向度，实现了防患未然、防微杜渐。

Using Fine Party Conduct to Guide Social and Folk Customs

以优良党风引领社风民风

General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “The formulation and implementation of the Central Eight-Point Regulations is an act of the Party in the New Era to establish credibility by moving a tree, and it must be persistently grasped and sustained over the long term until it truly becomes custom and transforms social conduct, leading the people’s ethos with a fine Party conduct.” [1]1 “Establishing credibility by moving a tree” (徙木立信) refers to a story from the Warring States period (475–221 BCE) in which Shang Yang, a reformer of the Qin state, moved a log to demonstrate the reliability of his laws, thereby winning public trust. Xi Jinping used this allusion The Central Eight-Point Regulations are not the highest standard but the basic requirements that Communists should meet. Implementing the Central Eight-Point Regulations is not the ultimate goal but the entry point for fostering a fine Party and government conduct and a healthy social atmosphere. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has deeply advanced the Party’s conduct building, resolved the chronic malpractices that had affected social conduct for a considerable period, consolidated the Party’s governing foundation, changed the social landscape of China in the New Era, and opened up broad prospects for advancing Chinese-path modernization.

习近平总书记强调：“制定实施中央八项规定，是我们党在新时代的徙木立信之举，必须常抓不懈、久久为功，直至真正化风成俗，以优良党风引领社风民风。”中央八项规定不是最高标准，而是共产党人应当做到的基本要求。实施中央八项规定不是最终目的，而是促使优良党风政风、良好社会风气形成的切口。党的十八大以来，以习近平同志为核心的党中央深入推进党的作风建设，解决了在相当长时间内影响社会风气的歪风顽疾，巩固了党的执政基础，改变了新时代中国社会风貌，为推进中国式现代化开辟了广阔前景。

Building a healthy Party-mass relationship and consolidating the Party’s governing foundation. The people are the greatest source of strength for the Party’s governance, and the core of the conduct issue is the relationship between the Party and the people. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “When the Party’s conduct is upright, the people’s hearts are at ease, and the Party and the people can share hardships and joys.” Since the New Era, the Party has started with specific issues strongly reflected by the masses, such as formalities and receptions, mountains of documents and seas of meetings, public funds for eating and drinking, and public funds for purchasing gifts, continuously expanding the scope of rectification. From the standpoint of the broad masses, it has made up its mind and put in effort to correct the “four forms of decadence” that the common people find “glaring” and “indignant,” proceeding from the shallow to the deep, from the easy to the difficult, extending from behavioral norms to the enhancement of Party spirit cultivation, gradually achieving the goal of building a clean and upright political ecosystem. [2]2 “Establishing credibility” (徙木立信) is a classical allusion to Shang Yang’s reforms in the State of Qin (4th century BCE), where he moved a log to demonstrate the government’s commitment to enforcing new laws. When the Party’s conduct is upright, its prestige among the people is higher, and the advancement of the Party’s and the state’s undertakings becomes smoother and more forceful. Through continuously strengthening conduct building, the Party has always maintained its flesh-and-blood ties with the people, won the people’s heartfelt trust and support, and continuously consolidated the political foundation for the Party’s long-term governance.

构建健康党群关系，夯实党的执政基础。人民是党执政的最大底气，作风问题的核心是党同人民群众的关系问题。习近平总书记指出：“党的作风正，人民的心气顺，党和人民就能同甘共苦。”新时代以来，党从迎来送往、文山会海、公款吃喝、公款购赠礼物等群众反映强烈的具体问题抓起，不断扩大整治范围，从广大人民群众的立场出发，尤其是下决心、下功夫纠正让老百姓感到“扎眼”“义愤”的“四风”问题，由浅入深、由易到难，从行为的规范延伸到党性修养的提高，逐步实现了构建风清气正政治生态的目标。党的作风正了，在人民群众中的威信高了，党和国家事业的推进就更加顺利、更加有力。党通过持续加强作风建设，始终保持同人民群众的血肉联系，赢得人民群众发自内心的信任与支持，不断巩固党长期执政的政治根基。

Leading the improvement of social conduct and pooling the combined force for modernization. The Communist Party of China is the leading core of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the backbone of the entire society. Party members play a vanguard and exemplary role in society, so Party and government conduct deeply influences and even shapes social conduct and people’s ethos. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, while rectifying Party conduct through conduct building, the Party has also set up a benchmark for good moral trends in the whole society. On the one hand, the Party has continuously improved the system of laws and regulations on conduct building, fostered a healthy and refreshing intra-Party relationship, and effectively curbed the breeding and spread of unhealthy trends. On the other hand, the Party has combined conduct building with promoting social trends that uphold virtue and goodness, requiring Party members, cadres, and public officials to take the lead in resisting outdated customs and habits, promoting the continuous improvement of social conduct. The Party’s conduct building in the New Era has not only gradually achieved a clean and upright atmosphere within the Party but has also turned into custom and purified the social environment across the whole society, gathering the social combined force for advancing Chinese-path modernization.

引领社会风气好转，凝聚现代化建设合力。中国共产党是中国特色社会主义事业的领导核心，是全社会的主心骨。党员在社会上起着先锋模范作用，因此党风政风深刻影响甚至塑造着社风民风。党的十八大以来，党通过作风建设在匡正党风的同时，也在全社会树立起良好道德风尚的指向标。一方面，党不断完善作风建设法规制度体系，营造健康清爽的党内关系，有效遏制了不良风气的滋生蔓延；另一方面，党将作风建设同弘扬崇德向善的社会风尚结合起来，要求党员干部和公职人员带头抵制陈规陋习，促进社会风气的持续向好。新时代党的作风建设不仅使党内逐步实现弊绝风清，也在全社会范围内化风成俗、激浊扬清，凝聚起推进中国式现代化的社会合力。

Providing a strong guarantee for advancing Chinese-path modernization with new achievements in conduct building

以作风建设新成效为推进中国式现代化提供有力保障

The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC sounded the clarion call of the era for further deepening reform comprehensively and advancing Chinese-path modernization. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “The greater the risks, the more numerous the challenges, and the heavier the tasks, the more we must strengthen the Party’s conduct building, to invigorate the spirit, stimulate the fighting will, establish an image, and win the people’s hearts with good conduct.” On the new journey, we must deeply implement the spirit of the Central Eight-Point Regulations, promote the normalization and long-term effectiveness of conduct building, and contribute to Chinese-path modernization.

党的二十届三中全会吹响了进一步全面深化改革、推进中国式现代化的时代号角。习近平总书记指出：“风险越大、挑战越多、任务越重，越要加强党的作风建设，以好的作风振奋精神、激发斗志、树立形象、赢得民心。”新征程上，我们要深入贯彻中央八项规定精神，推进作风建设常态化长效化，为中国式现代化贡献力量。

Maintaining sobriety in planning and advancing the cause through continuous conduct building. Through long-term efforts, the Party’s conduct building has achieved outstanding results since the New Era, strengthening the Party’s leadership, clarifying the political ecosystem, and leading social trends. However, it must also be recognized that on the new journey, the importance of the Party’s conduct building is not smaller but greater, and the tasks of the Party’s conduct building are not fewer but more. On the one hand, the “four forms of decadence” and other deep-seated malpractices affecting the Party’s fine conduct still exist, and any slight relaxation may lead to a resurgence or even a rebound. On the other hand, as the cause of advancing Chinese-path modernization gradually deepens and various new things continue to emerge, new propositions and new challenges are posed to the Party’s conduct building. Therefore, on the new journey, we must maintain the self-awareness of always being on the road, continuously strengthen conduct building in response to the demands of the times, and maintain strategic sobriety in managing the Party, governing the Party, resisting corruption, and preventing degeneration in the process of planning and advancing the cause.

在持续的作风建设中保持谋划推进事业的清醒。经过长期努力，新时代以来党的作风建设取得了突出成效，强化了党的领导、澄清了政治生态、引领了社会风尚。但也必须看到，新征程上党的作风建设重要性不是更小了而是更大了、党的作风建设任务不是更少了而是更多了。一方面，“四风”问题等影响党内良好作风的积弊流毒依然存在，稍有松懈就会死灰复燃甚至反弹回潮；另一方面，随着推进中国式现代化事业的逐步深入，各种新事物的不断出现，对党的作风建设提出新的命题、新的挑战。因此，新征程上必须保有永远在路上的自觉，面向时代要求持续加强作风建设，保持好在谋划推进事业过程中管党治党、拒腐防变的战略清醒。

Enhancing the resolve to work and start undertakings through in-depth conduct building. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “Having been in power for decades in times of peace, many Party members and cadres have not experienced life-and-death tests, lack the tempering of severe struggles and harsh environments, and are prone to pursuing comfort and pleasure, becoming dispirited and unenterprising.” As the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation enters a critical period, advancing Chinese-path modernization will inevitably encounter various predictable and unpredictable risks, challenges, difficulties, and even stormy waves. Therefore, on the new journey, we must promote more in-depth conduct building, using conduct building that touches the heart to invigorate the spirit and fighting will of the vast number of Party members and cadres, resist the unhealthy trends of dispiritedness and indulgence in comfort, forever maintain the Party’s cohesion and combat effectiveness, and inspire all Party comrades to unite as one and march forward in step on the path of Chinese-path modernization.

在深入的作风建设中增强干事创业的定力。习近平总书记指出：“执政几十年承平日久，许多党员、干部没有经历过生死考验，缺乏严峻斗争和艰苦环境的磨砺，容易追求安逸享乐而意志消沉、不思进取”。随着实现中华民族伟大复兴进入关键时期，推进中国式现代化必然会遇到各种可以预料和难以预料的风险挑战、艰难险阻甚至惊涛骇浪。因此，新征程上必须推进更加深入的作风建设，用触及内心的作风建设，振奋广大党员干部的精神与斗志，抵挡意志消沉、耽于安乐的不良风气，永葆党的凝聚力与战斗力，激励全党同志上下一心、步调一致地在中国式现代化道路上阔步前行。

Gaining the initiative in the development of the cause through solid conduct building. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “Promoting the cause of reform and development depends on the Party, and on the vast number of Party members and cadres having a fine work style. Practice has proven that the most important thing in grasping conduct building is to be serious.” The Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee proposed over 300 reform measures, involving multiple levels such as systems, mechanisms, and institutions, which especially require the vast number of Party members and cadres to align and calibrate with solid conduct and strict discipline, and to truly work hard. Therefore, on the new journey, the Party’s conduct building must revolve around the overall situation of the Party’s and the state’s development, organically integrate the process of improving conduct with the process of implementing the Party’s theories, lines, principles, and policies, so that Party members and cadres transform their conduct and temper their thinking in the process of further deepening reform comprehensively, and promote new achievements in the cause of Chinese-path modernization with a new atmosphere of Party and government conduct.

在扎实的作风建设中赢得事业发展的主动。习近平总书记指出：“推动改革发展事业，关键在党，关键在广大党员干部要有优良的工作作风。实践证明，抓作风建设最重要的是讲认真。”党的二十届三中全会提出300多项改革举措，涉及体制、机制、制度等多层面，尤其需要广大党员干部用扎实的作风和严格的纪律校准看齐、真抓实干。因此，新征程上党的作风建设要围绕党和国家发展大局，将改进作风的过程与贯彻执行党的理论和路线方针政策的过程有机贯通，让党员干部在进一步全面深化改革的过程中转变作风、淬炼思想，以党风政风的新气象推动中国式现代化事业取得新成效。
