Deeply Grasp the Theoretical System and Internal Logic of Xi Jinping’s Thought on Party Building, and Enhance the Ideological Consciousness for Its Implementation

深刻把握习近平党建思想的理论体系与内在逻辑，增强贯彻落实的思想自觉

Thought is the precursor of action. To study and implement Xi Jinping’s Thought on Party Building, the primary task is to deeply understand and scientifically grasp the scientific connotation, logical framework, and contemporary value of this important thought, achieving systematic mastery and comprehensive integration, thereby enhancing the ideological consciousness for its implementation.

思想是行动的先导。学习贯彻习近平党建思想，首要任务是深刻理解和科学把握这一重要思想的科学内涵、逻辑架构与时代价值，做到系统把握、融会贯通，增强贯彻落实的思想自觉。

Grasp the theoretical origins and appreciate the innovative development of Marxist Party-building theory by this important thought. Marxist Party-building theory guides the direction of the construction of proletarian political parties. Over the past century and more, our Party has adhered to the Two Integrations[1]1 The Two Integrations refers to the integration of the basic tenets of Marxism with China’s specific realities and with the best of traditional Chinese culture., continuously deepening its understanding of the laws governing the construction of a Marxist political party. Xi Jinping’s Thought on Party Building upholds and develops the Party-building theories of Marx, Engels, and Lenin, as well as our Party’s theories on Party building at different historical stages. Based on the profound changes in the world, the nation, and the Party in the New Era[2]2 The New Era refers to the period since the 19th National Congress of the CPC in 2017, marking a new historical juncture for the development of socialism with Chinese characteristics., it answers the major theoretical and practical questions facing Party building in the New Era, achieving innovative development of Marxist Party-building theory. This important thought has put forward a series of original propositions around the laws of governance, mission and responsibility, and organizational construction, enriching and developing the basic principles of Marxist Party-building theory and contributing Chinese wisdom to global political party governance. To study and implement this important thought, one must grasp its theoretical innovation process, which is both continuous with the past and advancing with the times, and comprehend its theoretical character from the perspective of the history of theoretical development.

把握理论源流，领会这一重要思想对马克思主义建党学说的创新发展。马克思主义建党学说指引着无产阶级政党建设的前进方向。百余年来，我们党坚持“两个结合”，不断深化对马克思主义政党建设规律的认识。习近平党建思想坚持和发展马克思、恩格斯和列宁的建党学说，以及我们党在不同历史阶段的党的建设的理论，立足新时代世情国情党情的深刻变化，回答新时代党的建设面临的重大理论和实践问题，实现了对马克思主义建党学说的创新发展。这一重要思想围绕执政规律、使命担当、肌体建设等提出了一系列原创性论断，丰富发展了马克思主义建党学说的基本原理，为世界政党治理贡献了中国智慧。学习贯彻这一重要思想，要把握其一脉相承、与时俱进的理论创新过程，在理论发展史的视野中领会其理论品格。

Grasp the scientific system and appreciate the systematic and holistic nature of this important thought. Xi Jinping’s Thought on Party Building is profound and rich in content, forming a complete and logically rigorous theoretical system, centrally embodied in the “Fourteen Persistences”[3]3 The “Fourteen Persistences” is a framework outlining the basic strategy for upholding and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the New Era, as laid out in the report to the 19th National Congress.. The “Fourteen Persistences” deeply grasp the internal connection between governing the Party strictly, revitalizing and strengthening the Party, and rejuvenating the nation. They coordinate Party leadership and Party building, forming an interlocking, internally unified organic whole with a clear and rigorous internal logic. The first four persistences are based on top-level design, clarifying fundamental principles and strategic directions, playing a commanding role; the latter ten persistences focus on specific work in various fields of Party building, serving as the foundational support for implementation and effectiveness. This centrally embodies General Secretary Xi Jinping’s new concepts, ideas, and strategies for Party building in the New Era. Only by grasping the whole and achieving comprehensive integration can one truly understand the essence of the spirit, avoiding one-sided learning and biased understanding.

把握科学体系，领会这一重要思想的系统性与整体性。习近平党建思想博大精深、内涵丰富，构成一个系统完整、逻辑严密的理论体系，集中体现为“十四个坚持”。“十四个坚持”，深刻把握管党治党、兴党强党与强国复兴的内在联系，统筹党的领导和党的建设，构成环环相扣、内在统一的有机整体，有着清晰严谨的内在逻辑。前四个坚持立足顶层设计，明确根本原则和战略方向，起到统领全局的作用；后十个坚持聚焦党的建设各领域具体工作，是落地见效的基础支撑。这集中体现了习近平总书记关于新时代党的建设的新理念新思想新战略。唯有整体把握、融会贯通，才能真正吃透精神实质，避免学习流于片面、认识出现偏差。

Based on the era’s orientation, appreciate the strong sense of mission and distinct problem awareness of this important thought. A major party in power has both the advantages of scale and unique tests. The “Four Tests”[4]4 The “Four Tests” are tests of governance, reform and opening up, the market economy, and the external environment. and “Four Dangers”[5]5 The “Four Dangers” are the dangers of mental slackness, incompetence, disconnection from the people, and corruption. exist over the long term, and Party building in the New Era must directly face these practical challenges. Xi Jinping’s Thought on Party Building accurately assesses the risks and hidden dangers within the Party under long-term governance, directly confronting weak links and prominent problems in governing the Party strictly. It focuses on rectifying current deep-seated maladies while also laying a solid foundation for long-term governance, demonstrating a strong sense of mission and combining problem orientation, systematic thinking, and strategic vision. It provides a “golden key” for the Party to maintain its vitality forever. We must always remain sober and firm, consciously use scientific theory to calibrate our course, resolutely eliminate all factors that weaken the Party’s advanced nature and impair its purity, and ensure that the Party never changes its nature, color, or flavor.

立足时代方位，领会这一重要思想强烈的使命担当和鲜明的问题意识。大党执政，既有规模优势，也面临特有考验。“四大考验”“四种危险”长期存在，新时代党的建设必须直面这些现实挑战。习近平党建思想精准研判长期执政条件下党内存在的风险隐患，直面管党治党薄弱环节与突出问题，既关注整治当下的顽瘴痼疾，又着眼长远夯实执政根基，展现出强烈的使命担当，兼具问题导向、系统思维与战略眼光，为党永葆生机活力提供了“金钥匙”。我们要始终保持清醒和坚定，自觉以科学理论校准航向，坚决清除一切弱化党的先进性、损害党的纯洁性的因素，确保党永远不变质、不变色、不变味。

Deeply Grasp the Practical Focal Points of Governing the Party Strictly, and Enhance the Practical Consciousness for Its Implementation

深刻把握管党治党的实践着力点，增强贯彻落实的实践自觉

Xi Jinping’s Thought on Party Building clarifies the scientific layout, key tasks, and practical pathways for Party building in the New Era. To implement this important thought, we must grasp the key links, implement precise policies, and consciously use this important thought to plan and advance Party building. We must integrate strict standards and strict requirements into all areas and links of Party building, transform this important thought into specific policies, specific tasks, and specific measures, and build our Party well and make it strong.

习近平党建思想明确了新时代党的建设的科学布局、重点任务与实践路径。贯彻落实这一重要思想，就要抓纲带目、精准施策，自觉运用这一重要思想谋划和推进党的建设，把严的标准、严的要求贯穿党的建设各领域、各环节，把这一重要思想转化为具体政策、具体任务、具体措施，把我们党建设好、建设强。

Take Party political building as the guide and consolidate the political foundation of loyalty to the Party. Being clear-cut in taking a political stand is the fundamental attribute of a Marxist political party and a unique advantage formed by our Party over more than a century of struggle. Party political building occupies a guiding position, determining the direction and effectiveness of Party building. It is necessary to uphold the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee as the highest principle of Party leadership, deeply understand the decisive significance of the Two Establishments[6]6 The Two Establishments refers to establishing Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole, and establishing the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era., enhance the Four Consciousnesses[7]7 The Four Consciousnesses are the consciousness of the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment with the central Party leadership., strengthen the Four Confidences[8]8 The Four Confidences are confidence in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics., and achieve the Two Upholds[9]9 The Two Upholds are upholding Xi Jinping’s core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole, and upholding the authority and centralized, unified leadership of the Party Central Committee.. Political loyalty is reflected in the actions of implementing the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, in the actual results of fulfilling duties, and in daily words and deeds. Party members and cadres must continuously improve their political judgment, political understanding, and political execution ability, be adept at discerning political clues from complex affairs, grasp political logic in complex contradictory relationships, ensure unwavering political stance and correct political direction, and implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee without deviation.

以党的政治建设为统领，夯实对党忠诚的政治根基。旗帜鲜明讲政治，是马克思主义政党的根本属性，也是我们党百余年奋斗形成的独特优势。党的政治建设居于统领地位，决定党的建设方向与成效。必须把坚持党中央集中统一领导作为党的领导的最高原则，深刻领悟“两个确立”的决定性意义，增强“四个意识”、坚定“四个自信”、做到“两个维护”。政治忠诚体现在贯彻落实党中央决策部署的行动中，体现在履职尽责的实效里，体现在日常言谈举止上。党员干部要不断提高政治判断力、政治领悟力、政治执行力，善于从繁杂事务中发现政治端倪，在复杂矛盾关系中把握政治逻辑，确保政治立场不移、政治方向不偏，不折不扣把党中央决策部署落到实处。

Take theoretical arming as the foundation and supplement the “calcium” of the spirit of Communists. Ideological construction is the foundational construction of the Party. Arming the entire Party with the Party’s innovative theories is the fundamental task of consolidating the foundation and building consensus. We must persist in arming minds, guiding practice, and promoting work with Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, promote Party members and cadres to read original works, study original texts, and comprehend principles, and fully and accurately grasp the world outlook, methodology, and the positions, viewpoints, and methods running through the Party’s innovative theories. Improve the normalized and institutionalized learning mechanism, rely on the theoretical study center groups of Party committees (Party groups), the “Three Meetings and One Lesson”[10]10 The “Three Meetings and One Lesson” refers to regular meetings of the Party branch general assembly, branch committee, and Party group meetings, and the delivery of Party lessons., themed Party days, and centralized training, to build a learning pattern that is layered, categorized, and covers all areas. Vigorously promote a good style of study, closely integrating theoretical learning with Party spirit tempering, practical exploration, and problem-solving.

以理论武装为基础，补足共产党人精神上的“钙”。思想建设是党的基础性建设，用党的创新理论武装全党是固本培元、凝聚共识的根本任务。要坚持用习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想武装头脑、指导实践、推动工作，推动党员干部读原著、学原文、悟原理，完整准确把握党的创新理论的世界观、方法论和贯穿其中的立场观点方法。健全常态化制度化学习机制，依托党委（党组）理论学习中心组、“三会一课”、主题党日、集中轮训等，构建分层分类、全域覆盖的学习格局。大力弘扬优良学风，将理论学习与党性锤炼、实践探索、难题破解紧密结合。

Take Party spirit tempering as the foundation and build the foundation of Communists’ standing. The cornerstone for Party members and cadres to establish themselves, pursue their careers, express their views, and cultivate their virtue is Party spirit. With a strong Party spirit, one can consciously stand on the Party’s and the people’s standpoint, share the Party’s concerns and benefit the people; one can take a clear stand when facing major issues of principle and consciously resist all kinds of unhealthy tendencies. A strong Party spirit is not innate, nor is it achieved once and for all; it requires continuous tempering and honing with the spirit of being forever on the road. The Party spirit of Chinese Communists is built on a foundation of scientific and sober theoretical cognition. We must deeply study and thoroughly understand General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on Party spirit, grasp from the theoretical source the fundamental role of Party spirit in the pragmatic work style, sense of responsibility, and discipline awareness of Communists, and comprehensively understand and grasp the requirements of Party spirit. Practical exercise is crucial for cultivating Party spirit. We must consciously temper Party spirit in major struggles, work hard and tackle difficulties in major tasks such as promoting high-quality development and advancing comprehensive rural revitalization, and do our utmost to fulfill the responsibilities and tasks entrusted by the Party.

以党性锤炼为根基，筑牢共产党人立身之本。党员干部立身、立业、立言、立德，基石是党性。有了坚强的党性，就能自觉站在党和人民立场上，为党分忧、为民造福；就能在面对大是大非时旗帜鲜明，自觉抵制各种歪风邪气。坚强的党性不是与生俱来的，也不是一劳永逸的，而是要以永远在路上的精神不断淬炼和磨砺。中国共产党人的党性建立在科学清醒的理论认知基础之上。要学深悟透习近平总书记关于党性的重要论述，从理论源头上把握党性对共产党人务实作风、担当精神、纪律意识等方面的基础性作用，全面理解和把握党性的要求。实践锻炼对党性涵养至关重要。必须自觉在重大斗争中磨砺党性，在推动高质量发展、推进乡村全面振兴等重大任务中苦干实干、攻坚克难，竭尽全力完成党交付的职责和任务。

Focusing on the construction of the organizational system, forging a strong and capable cadre force. The Party’s strength comes from its organization, and a tight organizational system is the Party’s advantage in overcoming difficulties. Thoroughly implement the Party’s organizational line for the New Era, improve the organizational system that is connected from top to bottom and effective in execution, and comprehensively enhance the political and organizational functions of Party organizations. Adhere to the clear orientation of focusing on the grassroots, coordinate and advance Party building in areas such as rural villages, communities, Party and state organs, state-owned enterprises, schools, new business forms and new groups, continuously rectify weak and lax grassroots Party organizations, and promote grassroots Party organizations to serve as strong fighting fortresses in rural revitalization, grassroots governance, emergency response, and serving the people. Strictly implement the principles of the Party managing cadres and the Party managing talent, abide by the standards for good cadres in the New Era, and establish a用人导向 [orientation for selecting and employing people] that emphasizes practical work, actual performance, and a sense of responsibility. Focus on tempering cadres on the front lines of major struggles, strengthen ideological tempering, political training, practical exercise, and professional training, and comprehensively enhance the comprehensive capabilities of cadres. Standardize the entire process of Party member education, management, and development, fully leverage the vanguard and exemplary role of Party members, and make the entire organizational system robust and full of vitality.

以组织体系建设为重点，锻造坚强有力的干部队伍。党的力量来自组织，严密的组织体系是我们党攻坚克难的优势所在。深入贯彻新时代党的组织路线，健全上下贯通、执行有力的组织体系，全面增强党组织政治功能和组织功能。坚持大抓基层的鲜明导向，统筹推进农村、社区、机关、国企、学校、新业态新群体等领域党建工作，持续整顿软弱涣散基层党组织，推动基层党组织在乡村振兴、基层治理、应急处突、为民服务中当好战斗堡垒。严格落实党管干部、党管人才原则，恪守新时代好干部标准，树立重实干、重实绩、重担当的用人导向。注重在重大斗争一线磨砺干部，加强思想淬炼、政治历练、实践锻炼、专业训练，全面提升干部综合能力。规范党员教育、管理、发展全流程，充分发挥党员先锋模范作用，让整个组织体系筋骨强健、充满活力。

Taking the rectification of conduct, strict discipline, and the fight against corruption as the starting point, continuously purify the political ecosystem within the Party. Strict discipline is a glorious tradition of our Party. Always persist in maintaining a strict tone, strict measures, and a strict atmosphere over the long term, unswervingly implement the spirit of the Central Committee’s Eight-Point Regulations and its implementation rules, closely monitor the hidden and mutated problems of formalism and bureaucratism, continuously reduce burdens at the grassroots level, and strictly prevent the resurgence of the “Four Forms of Decadence” [formalism, bureaucratism, hedonism, and extravagance]. Comprehensively strengthen discipline building, make the Party Constitution, Party regulations, and Party discipline a required course, guide Party cadres to know reverence, maintain caution, and guard against transgressions, and make iron discipline a conscious action. Adhere to the integrated advancement of ensuring that officials dare not, cannot, and do not want to be corrupt, achieving simultaneous, coordinated, and comprehensive efforts. Maintain a high-pressure stance against corruption, strictly investigate corruption in key areas and “micro-corruption” around the masses; improve the power constraint and supervision system, tighten the institutional cage; strengthen clean governance culture construction and warning education, and build a solid ideological defense line against corruption and degeneration. Deepen the simultaneous investigation and treatment of misconduct and corruption, and continuously purify the political ecosystem within the Party.

以正风肃纪反腐为抓手，持续净化党内政治生态。纪律严明是我们党的光荣传统。始终把严的基调、严的措施、严的氛围长期坚持下去，锲而不舍落实中央八项规定及其实施细则精神，紧盯形式主义、官僚主义隐形变异问题，持续为基层减负，严防“四风”反弹回潮。全面加强纪律建设，将党章党规党纪作为必修课，引导党员干部知敬畏、存戒惧、守底线，让铁的纪律成为行动自觉。坚持一体推进不敢腐不能腐不想腐，做到同时发力、同向发力、综合发力。保持反腐败高压态势，严查重点领域腐败和群众身边“微腐败”；完善权力制约监督体系，扎紧制度笼子；加强廉洁文化建设与警示教育，筑牢拒腐防变思想防线。深化风腐同查同治，持续净化党内政治生态。

Taking institutional governance and rule-based governance of the Party as the guarantee, enhance the standardized level of Party management and governance. Institutional governance and rule-based governance of the Party are the long-term and fundamental strategies for comprehensive and strict governance of the Party. To improve the system for comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, it is necessary to achieve full coverage in content, full coverage of targets, a complete chain of responsibilities, and full integration of institutions, promoting the organic connection and coordinated efforts of all aspects of Party building. Combining the practice of Party building in the New Era, continuously improve the system of intra-Party regulations and rules, forming a systematic, complete, scientific, standardized, and effective institutional chain. The vitality of institutions lies in their implementation; it is necessary to strengthen the institutional awareness of Party cadres and promote their conscious respect for, study of, adherence to, and use of institutions. Leading cadres must take the lead in implementing institutions and maintaining institutional authority. Improve the supervision and accountability mechanisms for institutional implementation, strictly hold accountable those who fail to follow orders or violate prohibitions, make institutions an unbreakable hard constraint, and use institutions to ensure the normalization and long-term effectiveness of Party management and governance.

以制度治党、依规治党为保障，提升管党治党规范化水平。制度治党、依规治党是全面从严治党的长远之策、根本之策。健全全面从严治党体系，必须做到内容上全涵盖、对象上全覆盖、责任上全链条、制度上全贯通，推动党的各项建设有机衔接、协同发力。结合新时代党的建设实践，持续完善党内法规制度体系，形成系统完备、科学规范、运行有效的制度链条。制度的生命力在于执行，要强化党员干部的制度意识，推动其自觉尊规、学规、守规、用规。领导干部要带头执行制度、维护制度权威。健全制度执行监督与追责机制，对有令不行、有禁不止的行为严肃问责，让制度成为不可逾越的硬约束，以制度保障管党治党常态长效。

Consolidate the responsibility for Party management and governance, and promote the implementation of responsibilities with strict and solid standards. Implementing the responsibility for Party management and governance is the core political task of Party organizations at all levels. Strengthen the awareness of being responsible for one’s territory, being accountable for one’s territory, and fulfilling one’s duties for one’s territory, refine the list of Party building responsibilities, and promote the layer-by-layer transmission and compaction of responsibilities. Optimize the orientation of assessment and evaluation, shifting the focus of assessment from work traces to actual effectiveness and public evaluation, and enhance the scientific nature of assessment. Adhere to the combination of strict management and care, and the equal emphasis on incentives and constraints, create a good atmosphere for practical work and responsibility, strictly hold accountable those with suspended responsibilities and ineffective implementation, and use rigid constraints to ensure that the responsibility for Party management and governance takes root.

压实管党治党责任，以严实标准推动责任落地。落实管党治党责任是各级党组织的核心政治任务。强化守土有责、守土负责、守土尽责的意识，细化党建责任清单，推动责任层层传导、层层压实。优化考核评价导向，将考核重点从工作痕迹转向实际成效和群众评价，提升考核科学性。坚持严管和厚爱结合、激励和约束并重，营造实干担当的良好干事氛围，对责任悬空、落实不力的严肃追责问责，以刚性约束推动管党治党责任落地生根。

Adhere to the unity of knowledge and action, internalization and transformation, and guide the performance of duties with Xi Jinping’s Thought on Party Building

坚持知行合一、内化转化，以习近平党建思想指引履职实践

The value of theory lies in guiding practice. Party cadres must consciously become firm believers and faithful practitioners of Xi Jinping’s Thought on

理论的价值在于指导实践。党员干部要自觉做习近平党建思想的坚定信仰者和忠实实践者，注重把这一重要思想内化于心、外化于行，把科学理论转化为务实作风、担当精神、廉洁操守，结合树立和践行正确政绩观学习教育的要求，在履职尽责中践行初心使命。

Adhere to seeking truth from facts, transforming theoretical requirements into solid performance. Strictly governing the Party, in essence, is about guiding Party cadres to establish a correct value orientation for undertaking endeavors and creating achievements. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “Communists are materialists; pragmatism is an

坚持求真务实，把理论要求转化为过硬业绩。从严管党治党，本质上是引导党员干部树立干事创业的正确价值导向。习近平总书记强调：“共产党人是唯物主义者，务实是必备品格，必须实事求是、求真务实、真抓实干。”业绩都是干出来的，干事创业，来不得半点虚浮。党员干部要坚决摒弃形式主义、官僚主义，摒弃急功近利、表面造势的错误做法。谋划工作立足实际，推进工作脚踏实地，以“功成不必在我”的精神境界和“功成必定有我”的历史担当，多做打基础、利长远、惠民生的实事，创造经得起实践、人民、历史检验的实绩。

Strengthen the spirit of responsibility, transforming theoretical requirements into tangible results in practical work. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: “Carry forward the spirit of responsibility and struggle.” [11]11 This is a direct quotation from General Secretary Xi Jinping, emphasizing the need for Party members to actively take on responsibilities and engage in struggle against difficulties. On the path forward, risks and challenges emerge one after another, making it even more necessary for Party cadres and members to take the initiative to shoulder responsibility and dare to struggle. It is imperative to break free from the state of “lying flat,” the “Buddhist-style” mentality, and the mindset of fearing difficulties and shifting blame. [12]12 “Lying flat” (躺平) and “Buddhist-style” (佛系) are contemporary Chinese internet slang terms referring to a passive, resigned attitude of giving up on striving or competing, often in response to social pressures. In the face of reform challenges, development bottlenecks, and complex contradictions, one must proactively rise to the occasion. Based on one’s position, fulfill duties and responsibilities, and implement tasks with the spirit of driving a nail. [13]13 “Spirit of driving a nail” (钉钉子精神) is a metaphor used by Xi Jinping to describe the need for persistence, focus, and follow-through in implementing policies and tasks, like hammering a nail until it is firmly in place. Persist in grasping the direction of struggle, pay attention to the tactics of struggle, enhance the ability to prevent and defuse risks, and achieve the goal of daring to struggle and being skilled at struggle.

强化担当精神，把理论要求转化为干事实效。习近平总书记指出：“发扬担当和斗争精神。”前进道路上风险挑战层出不穷，更需要党员干部主动担当、敢于斗争。必须破除“躺平”状态、“佛系”心态与畏难推诿思想，面对改革难题、发展瓶颈、复杂矛盾主动迎难而上。立足岗位履职尽责，以钉钉子精神狠抓落实。坚持把握斗争方向、讲究斗争策略，提升防范化解风险能力，做到敢于斗争、善于斗争。

Strictly adhere to the bottom line of discipline, transforming theoretical requirements into a conscious commitment to clean governance. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: “To forge iron, one must be strong oneself. For leading cadres, being strong oneself first requires being clean oneself.” [14]14 This is a direct quotation from Xi Jinping, using the metaphor of a blacksmith needing to be strong to forge iron, to argue that Party leaders must first be morally and ethically clean to govern effectively. Integrity and honesty are the basic ethical standards for Party cadres and members. One must persist in being cautious when alone, cautious at the outset, cautious in small matters, and cautious in choosing friends, starting strictly from small matters and minor details, and consciously purify one’s social circle, life circle, and circle of friends, holding fast to the red line of discipline and the bottom line of clean governance. Establish a correct outlook on power, status, and interests, always remembering that power is entrusted by the people and can only be used to serve the people. Leading cadres, as the “key minority,” must lead by example, set a precedent, take the lead in accepting supervision, strictly manage family members, relatives, and staff around them, cultivate a good family tradition, and win the trust of the masses with a clean image. [15]15 “Key minority” (关键少数) is a term used in CPC discourse to refer to leading cadres at various levels, whose actions and example are considered crucial for setting standards and driving the behavior of the broader Party membership.

严守纪律底线，把理论要求转化为廉洁自觉。习近平总书记指出：“打铁必须自身硬。对领导干部来讲，自身硬首先要自身廉。”清正廉洁是党员干部的基本操守。要坚持慎独、慎初、慎微、慎友，从小事小节严起，自觉净化社交圈、生活圈、朋友圈，守住纪律红线、廉洁底线。树立正确权力观、地位观、利益观，牢记权力由人民赋予，只能用来为民服务。领导干部作为“关键少数”，要以身作则、率先垂范，带头接受监督，从严管好家人亲属和身边工作人员，涵养优良家风，以清正形象赢得群众信任。

Uphold the spirit of reform and systematic thinking, promoting comprehensive and strict governance of the Party to develop in depth

秉持改革精神与系统思维，推动全面从严治党向纵深发展

To deeply study and implement Xi Jinping’s Thought on Party Building, it is necessary to uphold integrity and innovation, persevere over the long term, use reform methods to solve difficulties, employ systematic thinking to coordinate the overall situation, and promote comprehensive and strict governance of the Party to develop in depth.

深入学习贯彻习近平党建思想，必须坚持守正创新、久久为功，以改革办法破解难题，以系统思维统筹全局，推动全面从严治党向纵深发展。

Use reform and innovation to solve practical problems in Party building. Keeping pace with the times, upholding integrity and innovation are the distinctive qualities of a Marxist political party. Facing new situations, new tasks, and new challenges, it is necessary to adhere to promoting Party building work with the spirit of reform, using new concepts, new ideas, and new measures to resolve various contradictions and problems, and continuously enhance the effectiveness of Party governance and self-governance. Deepen the reform of the Party building system, use theoretical innovation based on practice to promote institutional innovation, make up for institutional shortcomings, consolidate the results of Party governance and self-governance with the achievements of institutional construction, and enhance the effectiveness of national governance. Respect the pioneering spirit at the grassroots level, encourage grassroots Party organizations to boldly explore and innovate under the premise of grasping the correct political direction, break through fixed thinking patterns and path dependence, promptly summarize and promote good experiences and practices from the grassroots, so that Party building always resonates with the development of the times.

以改革创新破解党的建设实践难题。与时俱进、守正创新是马克思主义政党的鲜明品格。面对新形势、新任务、新挑战，要坚持以改革精神推进党建工作，运用新理念、新思路、新举措化解各种矛盾和问题，不断提升管党治党实效。深化党的建设制度改革，以实践基础上的理论创新推动制度创新，补齐制度短板，以制度建设成效巩固管党治党成果，提升治国理政效能。尊重基层首创精神，鼓励基层党组织在把握正确政治方向前提下大胆探索创新，打破思维定式与路径依赖，及时总结推广基层好经验、好做法，让党的建设始终与时代发展同频共振。

Use systematic thinking to coordinate the overall situation of comprehensive and strict governance of the Party. To improve the system for comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, it is necessary to adhere to using systematic thinking to coordinate and advance various tasks. Adhere to the integrated advancement of the Party’s political construction, ideological construction, organizational construction, work style construction, discipline construction, institutional construction, and the fight against corruption, promoting the connection, linkage, and concerted efforts of work in various fields. Treat theoretical arming as a foundational project for consolidating the foundation and cultivating the essence, persistently grasping it without slack, promoting the integration and fusion of political supervision, organizational management, enforcement of discipline and accountability, and the implementation of responsibilities, constructing a comprehensive, multi-level pattern of Party governance and self-governance. Make up for shortcomings in work, strengthen weak links, and promote comprehensive and strict governance of the Party to achieve both symptom and root cause treatment and overall quality improvement.

以系统观念统筹全面从严治党全局。健全全面从严治党体系，要坚持运用系统观念统筹推进各项工作。坚持一体推进党的政治建设、思想建设、组织建设、作风建设、纪律建设、制度建设和反腐败斗争，推动各领域工作衔接联动、同向发力。把理论武装作为固本培元的基础工程常抓不懈，推动政治监督、组织管理、执纪问责、责任落实贯通融合，构建全方位、多层次的管党治党格局。补齐工作短板、强化薄弱环节，推动全面从严治党实现标本兼治、整体提质。
