In his important speech at the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the CPC, General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly expounded the重要思想 on the Party’s self-revolution and explicitly put forward the practical requirements of the “nine focal points” [n], one of which is “taking forging a strong organization and building a capable contingent as key focal points.” A tight organizational system is the strength and power of a Marxist political party. Deeply advancing the Party’s self-revolution by taking forging a strong organization and building a capable contingent as key focal points highlights the Party’s political consciousness in building a tight organizational system and统筹推进 the construction of Party organizations at all levels and in all fields, and embodies the Party’s political responsibility to “forever maintain the本色 of a Marxist governing party, forever stay at the forefront of the times, and forever be the backbone of the Chinese people and the Chinese nation.”

习近平总书记在二十届中央纪委三次全会上发表的重要讲话,深刻阐述党的自我革命的重要思想,明确提出“九个以”的实践要求,其中之一是“以锻造坚强组织、建设过硬队伍为重要着力点”。严密的组织体系,是马克思主义政党的优势所在、力量所在。以锻造坚强组织、建设过硬队伍为重要着力点深入推进党的自我革命,彰显了我们党打造严密组织体系、统筹推进各层级各领域党组织建设的政治自觉,体现了我们党“永远保持马克思主义执政党本色,永远走在时代前列,永远做中国人民和中华民族的主心骨”的政治担当。

General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: “The Party’s strength comes from organization.” Only when Party organizations at all levels form an organizational system that is connected from top to bottom and capable of effective implementation can the Party’s leadership be “like the body directing the arm, and the arm directing the fingers,” can the Party’s organizational advantages be fully demonstrated, and can the foundation of the Party’s governing edifice be more solid. Over the past 100-plus years, one of the important reasons why our Party has been able to achieve great victories in leading revolution, construction, and reform is that our Party possesses powerful organizational advantages, and the construction of organizations and the cadre contingent has played an important guaranteeing role.

习近平总书记指出:“党的力量来自组织。”党的各级组织形成上下贯通、执行有力的组织体系,党的领导才能“如身使臂,如臂使指”,党的组织优势才能充分彰显,党执政大厦的根基才能更加稳固。100多年来,我们党之所以能取得领导革命、建设、改革的伟大胜利,重要原因之一是我们党拥有强大的组织优势,组织和干部队伍建设发挥了重要保障作用。

A Marxist political party has lofty political ideals, noble political pursuits, pure political qualities, and strict political discipline. The cohesion and application of its strength lie in scientific organization. Only by being organized and forming a tight organizational system can strength be multiplied; this is the strength and power of a Marxist political party. The Party’s overall leadership and all the Party’s work must rely on the Party’s strong organizational system to be realized. Our Party is a Marxist political party organized by revolutionary ideals and iron discipline, consisting of the Party’s central organization, local organizations, and primary-level organizations to form a tight organizational system. The Party’s central organization decides the Party’s line, principles, and policies, and must uphold the authority of the Party Central Committee and its centralized and unified leadership. Local organizations firmly implement the Party Central Committee’s line, principles, and policies, ensuring their resolute implementation. Primary-level Party organizations play a role as战斗堡垒 in implementing the Party Central Committee’s line, principles, and policies. From the central and state organs at the “first kilometer” of implementing the Party Central Committee’s decisions and deployments to the primary-level organizations at the “last kilometer,” Party organizations at all levels form an organizational system that is connected from top to bottom and capable of effective implementation, endowing our Party with incomparably strong leadership, organizational capacity, and executive capacity, making it the most reliable leading force in uniting and leading the people to overcome difficulties and forge ahead.

马克思主义政党具有崇高政治理想、高尚政治追求、纯洁政治品质、严明政治纪律,其力量的凝聚和运用在于科学的组织。只有组织起来,形成严密组织体系,才能实现力量倍增,这是马克思主义政党的优势所在、力量所在。党的全面领导、党的全部工作要靠党的坚强组织体系去实现。我们党是依靠革命理想和铁的纪律组织起来的马克思主义政党,由党的中央组织、地方组织、基层组织构成严密的组织体系。党的中央组织决定党的路线方针政策,要维护党中央的权威和集中统一领导。地方组织坚定贯彻落实党中央的路线方针政策,保证党的路线方针政策的坚决贯彻执行。基层党组织在贯彻落实党中央路线方针政策中发挥战斗堡垒作用。从贯彻落实党中央决策部署“最初一公里”的中央和国家机关,到“最后一公里”的基层党组织,各级党组织形成上下贯通、执行有力的组织体系,使我们党具有了无比坚强的领导力、组织力、执行力,成为团结带领人民攻坚克难、开拓前进最可靠的领导力量。

Only when the Party’s contingent is capable can the Party’s organization be strong and effective. The construction of the Party’s contingent is the foundational construction of the Party. Once the Party’s line, principles, and policies are formulated, cadres become the decisive factor. Centered on the Party’s mission and tasks in the New Era, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed “building a high-quality cadre contingent capable of undertaking the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation”; warned the entire Party that problems in the country mainly arise within the Party, and problems in the Party mainly arise among leading cadres; emphasized that strict governance of the Party focuses on strict management of cadres; and put forward the standards for good cadres in the New Era, requiring efforts to cultivate high-quality cadres who are loyal, clean, and responsible. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, General Secretary Xi Jinping has proposed a series of original new concepts, new ideas, and new strategies, such as the strategic policy of comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, upholding and strengthening the Party’s overall leadership, leading social revolution through the Party’s self-revolution, the general requirements for Party building in the New Era, and the Party’s organizational line in the New Era, leading and promoting fundamental, overall, and long-term major changes in Party building and organizational work.

党的队伍过硬,党的组织才能坚强有力。党的队伍建设是党的基础性建设。党的路线方针政策制定之后,干部就是决定因素。围绕新时代党的使命任务,习近平总书记提出“建设堪当民族复兴重任的高素质干部队伍”;告诫全党,国家要出问题主要出在党内,党要出问题主要出在领导干部身上,强调从严治党,重在从严管理干部;提出了新时代党的好干部标准,要求着力培养忠诚干净担当的高素质干部。党的十八大以来,习近平总书记提出全面从严治党战略方针、坚持和加强党的全面领导、以党的自我革命引领社会革命、新时代党的建设总要求、新时代党的组织路线等一系列原创性的新理念新思想新战略,引领推动党的建设和组织工作发生根本性、全局性、长远性重大变化。

Party members are the cells of the Party’s body. For our Party to always be the strong leading core of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, we must build our Party membership contingent well. The strength and role of a Marxist political party depend not only on the number of Party members but, more importantly, on the quality of Party members. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, Party organizations have strictly controlled the entry point, placed political standards first, seriously conducted political life within the Party, strictly managed and educated Party members on a daily basis, raised their consciousness, and strengthened their Party spirit. The vast majority of Party members are recognizable in ordinary times, stand out at critical moments, and step forward in times of crisis. They have delivered excellent answers in major tests such as winning the battle against poverty, the COVID-19 pandemic prevention and control, flood disasters, and earthquake emergencies, allowing the Party flag to fly high on the front lines of the pandemic. Since the New Era, the role of primary-level Party organizations as战斗堡垒 and the vanguard and exemplary role of Communist Party members have been fully demonstrated, and the Party’s political and organizational advantages have been continuously transformed into advantages in securing victory.

党员是党的肌体的细胞。我们党始终成为中国特色社会主义事业的坚强领导核心,就必须把我们党员队伍建设好。马克思主义政党的力量和作用,既取决于党员数量,更取决于党员质量。党的十八大以来,党组织严把入口关,把政治标准放在首位,严肃党内政治生活,严格党员日常教育和管理,提高觉悟增强党性,广大党员平常时候看得出来、关键时刻站得出来、危急关头豁得出来,在打赢脱贫攻坚战、新冠疫情阻击战、洪涝灾害、地震险情等一次次大战大考中交出优秀答卷,让党旗在抗疫第一线高高飘扬。新时代以来,基层党组织的战斗堡垒作用和共产党员的先锋模范作用充分彰显,党的政治优势和组织优势不断转化为制胜优势。

To deeply advance the Party’s self-revolution by taking forging a strong organization and building a capable contingent as key focal points, it is necessary to thoroughly study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important thought on the Party’s self-revolution, solidly carry out various tasks such as theoretical armament, selecting the worthy and appointing the capable, strengthening the foundation and consolidating the base, and cultivating and gathering talents, and strive to provide a strong organizational guarantee for comprehensively building a modern socialist country and comprehensively advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

以锻造坚强组织、建设过硬队伍为重要着力点深入推进党的自我革命,必须深入学习贯彻习近平总书记关于党的自我革命的重要思想,扎实做好理论武装、选贤任能、强基固本、育才聚才各项工作,努力为全面建设社会主义现代化国家、全面推进中华民族伟大复兴提供坚强组织保证。

In the report to the 20th National Congress of the CPC, General Secretary Xi Jinping made new and comprehensive deployments on “enhancing the political functions and organizational functions of Party organizations,” clearly stating: “A tight organizational system is the advantage and strength of the Party. Party organizations at all levels must fulfill the various responsibilities conferred by the Party Constitution, implement the Party’s line, principles, policies, and the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee well, and organize and unite the masses in all fields well.” Enhancing the political functions and organizational functions of Party organizations, organizing Party members, gathering talents, and mobilizing the masses are of great significance for our Party to lead great social revolution through great self-revolution.

习近平总书记在党的二十大报告中对“增强党组织政治功能和组织功能”作出新的全面部署,明确指出:“严密的组织体系是党的优势所在、力量所在。各级党组织要履行党章赋予的各项职责,把党的路线方针政策和党中央决策部署贯彻落实好,把各领域广大群众组织凝聚好。”增强党组织政治功能和组织功能,把党员组织起来、把人才凝聚起来、把群众动员起来,对于我们党以伟大自我革命引领伟大社会革命意义重大。

It is precisely by relying on strong political and organizational functions that a Marxist political party fully mobilizes the initiative, enthusiasm, and creativity of the vast majority of Party members, radiating strong vitality and combat effectiveness. To realize the Party’s mission and tasks in the New Era and new journey, Party building and organizational work must take on new responsibilities and make new achievements. Party committees at all levels and their organizational departments must more resolutely and effectively implement the Party’s organizational line in the New Era and the standards for good cadres, focus on enhancing organizational capacity and strengthening political functions, improve the organizational system that is connected from top to bottom and capable of effective implementation, establish a clear orientation towards strengthening primary-level construction, promote the comprehensive progress and comprehensive capability of primary-level Party organizations, and ensure that the vast majority of Party members and cadres are loyal, clean, and responsible.

马克思主义政党正是依靠强大政治功能和组织功能,充分调动广大党员的积极性主动性创造性,焕发出强大生命力和战斗力。实现党在新时代新征程的使命任务,党的建设和组织工作要有新担当新作为。各级党委及其组织部门必须更加坚决有力贯彻新时代党的组织路线和好干部标准,以提升组织力为重点、强化政治功能,完善上下贯通、执行有力的组织体系,树立加强基层建设的鲜明导向,推动基层党组织全面进步、全面过硬,使广大党员、干部做到忠诚干净担当。

Political attribute is the fundamental attribute of Party organizations, and political function is the basic function of Party organizations; organizational function serves political function and is the foundation and guarantee for giving play to the political function of Party organizations. The two complement each other and are internally unified. Only when both “functions” are enhanced can the Party’s political and organizational advantages be fully brought into play. The 20th National Congress of the CPC made comprehensive deployments and put forward clear requirements for enhancing the political and organizational functions of Party organizations. We must deeply understand, accurately grasp, and resolutely implement them.

政治属性是党组织的根本属性,政治功能是党组织的基本功能;组织功能服务于政治功能,是发挥党组织政治功能的基础和保证。两者相辅相成、内在统一,只有“两个功能”都增强,党的政治优势、组织优势才能充分发挥。党的二十大对增强党组织政治功能和组织功能作出全面部署,提出明确要求,我们必须深入理解、准确把握、坚决落实。

Focus on enhancing political leadership to solidify political construction. The Party is the highest political leading force, and political leadership is the primary capability among the Party’s governing capabilities. We must persist in placing the Party’s political construction first, promote Party organizations at all levels to uphold and strengthen the Party’s overall leadership, embody support for the Two Establishments and the Two Upholds in resolutely implementing the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, in the actual results of fulfilling duties and doing their own work well, and in the daily words and actions of Party members and cadres, and continuously improve political judgment, political understanding, and political execution.

着眼增强政治领导力抓实政治建设。党是最高政治领导力量,政治领导力在党的执政能力中是第一位的能力。要坚持把党的政治建设摆在首位,推动党的各级组织坚持和加强党的全面领导,把拥护“两个确立”、做到“两个维护”体现在坚决贯彻党中央决策部署的行动上,体现在履职尽责、做好本职工作的实效上,体现在党员干部的日常言行上,不断提高政治判断力、政治领悟力、政治执行力。

Focus on enhancing ideological guidance to strengthen theoretical armament. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that organization is the “form” and thought is the “soul.” To enhance the political and organizational functions of Party organizations, it is necessary to both “shape the form” and “forge the soul.” We must persist in using Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to solidify the soul, fully utilize various Party member learning platforms such as “Learning Power,” promote the combination of regular education and intra-Party centralized education, urge the vast majority of Party members and cadres to further work on understanding, mastering, and applying the theory, guide the vast majority of Party members to firmly believe in their faith, conviction, and confidence, enhance their ambition, backbone, and confidence, and closely unite under the ideological banner of the Party.

着眼增强思想引领力强化理论武装。习近平总书记指出,组织是“形”,思想是“魂”。增强党组织政治功能和组织功能,既要“造形”,也要“铸魂”。要坚持用习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想凝心铸魂,充分运用“学习强国”等各类党员学习平台,推进经常性教育和党内集中教育相结合,促使广大党员干部进一步在学懂弄通做实上下功夫,引导广大党员坚定信仰信念信心、增强志气骨气底气,紧紧凝聚在党的思想旗帜之下。

Focus on tightening the organizational system to enhance execution and implementation capacity. Whether a Party organization is strong in its political and organizational functions is tested by its ability to carry out major tasks. Central and state organs, as the "first kilometer" in implementing the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, must strive to become model organs that reassure the Party Central Committee and satisfy the people. Local Party committees, as the "middle segment" in implementing the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, must act on orders and halt where prohibited, becoming strong organizations that resolutely follow the command of the Party Central Committee, with strict management, powerful oversight, united leadership, and a pure atmosphere. Primary-level Party organizations, as the "last kilometer" in implementing the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, must adhere to the clear orientation of focusing on primary-level work, insist that all Party work goes through the branch, comprehensively strengthen the building of primary-level Party organizations in all fields, and become strong fighting bastions that propagate the Party's propositions, implement the Party's decisions, lead primary-level governance, unite and mobilize the masses, and promote reform and development.

着眼增强贯彻执行力严密组织体系。党组织政治功能和组织功能强不强,抓重大任务落实是试金石。中央和国家机关作为贯彻落实党中央决策部署的“最初一公里”,要着力打造让党中央放心、让人民群众满意的模范机关;地方党委是贯彻落实党中央决策部署的“中间段”,要有令即行、有禁即止,成为坚决听党中央指挥、管理严格、监督有力、班子团结、风气纯正的坚强组织;基层党组织是贯彻落实党中央决策部署的“最后一公里”,要坚持大抓基层的鲜明导向,坚持党的一切工作到支部,全面加强各领域基层党组织建设,成为宣传党的主张、贯彻党的决定、领导基层治理团结动员群众、推动改革发展的坚强战斗堡垒。

Focus on enhancing the mass organizing capacity and following the mass line. The Party's greatest political strength is its close ties with the masses, and the greatest danger after assuming power is becoming divorced from the masses. To strengthen the political and organizational functions of Party organizations, we must always keep in mind the fundamental question of "what the Communist Party of China is and what it is to do," and consciously follow the mass line in all Party work. Always place the people highest in our hearts, uphold the principal position of the people, respect the people's initiative, improve mechanisms for mass participation in decision-making, and build a "bridge of hearts" connecting the Party's heart and the people's heart. Solidly carry out work serving the masses, thoroughly implement the various pro-people policies of the Party Central Committee, and sincerely solve difficulties, do practical things, and perform good deeds for the masses.

着眼增强群众组织力走好群众路线。党的最大政治优势是密切联系群众,党执政后的最大危险是脱离群众。增强党组织政治功能和组织功能,必须牢记“中国共产党是什么、要干什么”这个根本问题,在党的各项工作中自觉走好群众路线。始终把人民放在心中最高位置,坚持人民主体地位,尊重人民首创精神,完善群众参与决策机制,架好党心、民心的“连心桥”。扎实做好服务群众工作,深入落实党中央各项惠民政策,真心实意为群众解难事、做实事、办好事。

Focus on enhancing self-immunity and advancing self-revolution. To forge iron, one must be strong oneself. To strengthen the political and organizational functions of Party organizations, we must implement the strategic thought of the Party's self-revolution in the New Era, maintain the consciousness to face problems squarely and the courage to turn inward, focus on solving prominent problems such as impurity in thought, politics, organization, and conduct, and continuously improve the ability for self-purification, self-improvement, self-renovation, and self-enhancement, ensuring that Party organizations at all levels are strong, capable, and fully competent.

着眼增强自身免疫力推进自我革命。打铁必须自身硬。增强党组织政治功能和组织功能,必须贯彻新时代党的自我革命战略思想,保持正视问题的自觉和刀刃向内的勇气,着力解决思想不纯、政治不纯组织不纯、作风不纯等突出问题,不断提高自我净化、自我完善、自我革新、自我提高能力,确保党的各级组织坚强有力、全面过硬。

General Secretary Xi Jinping, in his report to the 20th National Congress of the CPC, put forward the major task of "building a contingent of high-caliber cadres capable of shouldering the task of national rejuvenation." All major decisions and deployments of the Party and the state must be organized and advanced by leading bodies at all levels and implemented by the broad ranks of cadres. We must continuously strengthen the building of leading bodies at all levels, cultivate and select high-caliber cadres capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities, and train and bring up millions of successors to the socialist cause, thereby ensuring from an organizational standpoint the implementation of the Party's basic theory, basic line, and basic strategy.

习近平总书记在党的二十大报告中提出“建设堪当民族复兴重任的高素质干部队伍”的重大任务。党和国家各项重大决策部署,都要靠各级领导班子组织推进,靠广大干部贯彻执行。必须不断加强各级领导班子建设,培养选拔堪当重任的高素质干部队伍,培养和造就千百万社会主义事业接班人,从组织上保证党的基本理论、基本路线、基本方略的贯彻落实。

We must adhere to the principle of the Party managing cadres. Give full play to the gatekeeping role of Party organizations and their functional departments in the selection and appointment of cadres. We must both strengthen the responsibility of Party organizations in recommending, inspecting, identifying, and using cadres, and prevent individuals or a minority from having the final say. Pay attention to promoting inner-Party democracy, adhering to full deliberation and collective decision-making. Pay attention to promoting people's democracy, implementing the masses' rights to know, participate, choose, and supervise in cadre selection and appointment. Strengthen accountability for the principal responsible persons of Party committees (Party groups) and organizational and personnel departments, and resolutely prevent unhealthy tendencies in the selection and appointment of personnel.

要坚持党管干部原则。发挥党组织及其职能部门在干部选拔任用中的把关作用,既要强化党组织在推荐、考察、识别、使用干部中的责任,也要防止个人或少数人说了算。注意发扬党内民主,坚持充分酝酿、集体决策;注意发扬人民民主,落实群众对干部选拔任用的知情权、参与权、选择权和监督权;强化对党委(党组)和组织人事部门主要负责人的责任追究,坚决防止在选人用人上的不正之风。

Clearly establish the orientation for selecting and appointing cadres in the New Era. The report of the 20th National Congress of the CPC emphasizes: "To build a modern socialist country in all respects, we must have a contingent of cadres who are politically competent, meet the requirements of the New Era, and possess the ability to lead modernization." We must take this as our guide and clearly establish the orientation for selecting and appointing cadres in the New Era. General Secretary Xi Jinping has explicitly put forward the standards for good cadres in the New Era, placing political standards first, insisting on virtue first, and focusing on cultivating and selecting cadres who are politically competent and loyal to the Party. Vigorously select cadres who firmly uphold the Two Establishments, resolutely achieve the Two Upholds, and always maintain a high degree of alignment with the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core in thought, politics, and action. Resolutely keep out those who are political "weathercocks," "fence-sitters," or "double-dealers," and those who violate the Party's political discipline and political rules or have problems such as the "seven have-its," ensuring that the cadres selected are politically trustworthy, reliable, and reassuring. Pay attention to cultivating and selecting cadres who are proficient in their work and highly capable. Under the premise of adhering to political standards, place greater emphasis on cadres' quality and ability, and vigorously cultivate and select cadres with genuine talent and strong competence. Pay attention to cultivating and selecting cadres who dare to take responsibility and are willing to be accountable. Pay attention to cultivating and selecting cadres who dare to struggle and are good at struggling. Cultivate and select cadres with fine conduct and clean integrity, and coordinate the work of cultivating, selecting, appointing, and managing cadres.

鲜明树立新时代选人用人导向。党的二十大报告强调:“全面建设社会主义现代化国家,必须有一支政治过硬、适应新时代要求、具备领导现代化建设能力的干部队伍。”我们要以此为遵循,把新时代选人用人导向鲜明树立起来。习近平总书记明确提出了新时代好干部标准,把政治标准放在第一位,坚持以德为先,要注重培养选拔政治过硬、对党忠诚的干部。大力选拔坚定拥护“两个确立”、坚决做到“两个维护”、在思想上政治上行动上始终同以习近平同志为核心的党中央保持高度一致的干部,坚决把那些政治上的“墙头草”、“骑墙派”、“两面人”,那些违反党的政治纪律和政治规矩、存在“七个有之”等问题的人挡在门外,确保选出来的干部政治上信得过、靠得住、能放心。要注重培养选拔业务精通、本领高强的干部。在坚持政治标准的前提下,更加重视干部的素质能力,大力培养选拔有真才实学、能力过硬的干部。要注重培养选拔敢于担当、勇于负责的干部;注重培养选拔敢于斗争、善于斗争的干部;培养选拔作风优良、清正廉洁的干部,统筹抓好干部育选管用工作。

Build the Party membership contingent to be strong and capable. Party members are the cells of the Party's body and the subjects of Party activities; building the Party membership contingent is the foundational project of Party building. General Secretary Xi Jinping has pointed out: "The building of primary-level Party organizations and the Party membership contingent occupies a very important position in the entire organizational work of the Party. At all times, it must be taken seriously and consciously grasped and implemented." Attaching great importance to and unswervingly strengthening the building of the Party membership contingent is of significant and far-reaching importance for continuously enhancing the Party's creativity, cohesion, and combat effectiveness. Strictly guard the entry point for developing Party members, placing political standards first. Those who are politically unqualified or seek to infiltrate the Party for personal gain must not be accepted at all. "Party members in name only, even if given for free, we do not want." Focus on developing Party members among workers, do a good job of developing Party members among peasants, and attach importance to developing Party members among young workers, peasants, and intellectuals, optimizing the structure of the Party membership contingent. Strictly enforce inner-Party organizational life, and strictly manage and educate Party members. Improve the management of mobile Party members, improve the inner-Party incentive, care, and assistance mechanism, build a work system for Party members to contact and serve the masses, and enhance the vitality of the Party membership contingent. Clear the exit for the Party membership contingent, strictly enforce Party member standards, and promptly handle unqualified Party members. Deal with and punish Party members who violate laws and discipline as appropriate, show no mercy to corrupt elements, and resolutely expel them from the Party. All Party members and cadres, no matter when, where, or on what occasion, must always remember that they are Communist Party members, always play a vanguard and exemplary role, and always adhere to and uphold the Party's leadership and the Party's unity and solidarity.

把党员队伍建设得坚强有力。党员是党的肌体的细胞和党的活动的主体,党员队伍建设是党的建设的基础工程。习近平总书记指出:“党的基层组织建设和党员队伍建设在党的整个组织工作中具有十分重要的地位,任何时候都必须高度重视,自觉抓紧抓好。”高度重视始终不渝地加强党员队伍建设,对不断增强党的创造力、凝聚力、战斗力具有重要而深远的意义。要严把发展党员入口关,把政治标准放在首位,对那些政治上不合格、想混入党内捞好处的人,一个都不能要。“徒有其名的党员,就是白给,我们也不要”。着力在工人中发展党员,做好在农民中发展党员工作,重视从青年工人、农民、知识分子中发展党员,优化党员队伍结构。严肃党内组织生活,严格党员教育管理。改进对流动党员的管理,健全党内激励关怀帮扶机制,构建党员联系和服务群众工作体系,增强党员队伍生机活力。疏通党员队伍的出口,严格党员标准,及时处置不合格党员。对违法乱纪的党员该处理的处理、该处分的处分,对腐败分子毫不手软,坚决清除出党。广大党员、干部,无论在什么时候、什么地方、什么场合,都要始终牢记自己是一名共产党员,都要始终发挥先锋模范作用,都要始终坚持和维护党的领导、维护党的团结统一。

Focusing on gathering outstanding talents from all fields who are patriotic and dedicated is an important task for organizational building in the New Era. Accelerate the implementation of the strategy of reinvigorating the country through science and education and the strategy of strengthening the nation through human resources development, establish the strategic position of talent leading development, strive to build an outstanding talent contingent dedicated to patriotic dedication and courageous innovation and creation, and gather talents from all fields into the Party's ranks and into the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Deepen the reform of the talent development system and mechanism, form a talent system with attractiveness and international competitiveness, strive to gather talents from all over the world and use them well, and contribute to the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation.

着力聚集爱国奉献的各方面优秀人才,是新时代组织建设的重要任务。要加快实施人才强国战略,确立人才引领发展的战略地位,努力建设一支矢志爱国奉献勇于创新创造的优秀人才队伍,把各方面人才聚集到党的队伍中来、聚集到中国特色社会主义事业中来。要深化人才发展体制机制改革,形成具有吸引力和国际竞争力的人才制度体系,努力聚天下英才而用之,为强国建设民族复兴伟业贡献力量。

General Secretary Xi Jinping has emphasized that as long as every primary-level Party organization and every Party member has a strong sense of purpose and responsibility, and can play the role of a fighting bastion and a vanguard and exemplary role, our Party will be very strong, our country will be very strong, our people will be very strong, and the Party's ruling foundation will be as solid as a rock. No cause can be accomplished without the vanguard and exemplary role of Communist Party members. As long as Party members are the first to step forward and dare to charge ahead, they can mobilize, unite, and organize the masses, open up a new realm, and accomplish a great cause.

习近平总书记强调,只要每个基层党组织和每个共产党员都有强烈的宗旨意识和责任意识,都能发挥战斗堡垒作用、先锋模范作用,我们党就会很有力量,我们国家就会很有力量,我们人民就会很有力量,党的执政基础就能坚如磐石。任何事业都离不开共产党员的先锋模范作用。只要共产党员首先站出来、敢于冲上去,就能把群众带动起来、凝聚起来、组织起来,打开一片天地,干出一番事业。

To govern the country, the Party must first be governed well; only when the Party thrives can the country be strong. The full coverage of the Party's organizations and Party work, and the entire Party acting upon a single order from the Party Central Committee, is a powerful advantage that no other political party in the world possesses. On the new journey, centering on the central tasks and major deployments of the Party and the state to advance the Party's organizational work, taking the forging of strong organizations and the building of capable teams as key focal points to deepen the Party's self-revolution, and continuously consolidating the Party's organizational advantages, the high-quality development of the Party's and the state's undertakings will continuously gain strong momentum.

治国必先治党,党兴才能国强。党的组织和党的工作全覆盖,党中央一声令下,全党闻令而动,这是世界上任何其他政党都不具有的强大优势。新征程上,围绕党和国家中心工作、重大部署推进党的组织工作,以锻造坚强组织、建设过硬队伍为重要着力点深入推进党的自我革命,不断厚植党的组织优势,党和国家事业高质量发展就能不断获得强劲动力。
