The task of strictly administering the party is more arduous than ever before

Yes. The tests of governance, reform and opening up, market economy, and the external environment that the party is facing are long-term, complex, and severe, and the task of implementing the party's need to manage the party and administer the party strictly is more arduous and urgent than ever before. "We must deeply understand this and further enhance our sense of urgency and responsibility.

First, the test of governance. Facts have proved that it is not easy for a proletarian party to seize political power, and it is even more difficult to hold political power well, especially for a long time. Different from the early days of the ruling party, the greatest danger of being in power for a long time is that it is easy to detach itself from the masses, it is easy to produce bureaucracy, it is easy to breed the inertia of sticking to the old ways and not wanting to make progress, and all kinds of corrupt phenomena are born.

If we turn a blind eye to these dangers and fail to put things in order, the party may be abandoned by the people and the party's ruling position will be in danger of being lost.

Second, the test of reform and opening up. Today, China is in a period of important strategic opportunities for further development, and the most fundamental thing is to unswervingly continue to promote reform and opening up and further emancipate and develop the productive forces. This requires our party to unswervingly hold high the banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, unswervingly adhere to the party's basic theory, basic line, basic program, and basic experience, unswervingly adhere to economic construction as the center, and unswervingly grasp development, which is the party's primary task of governing and rejuvenating the country, adhere to the people-oriented, adhere to comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development, and more consciously follow the path of scientific development.

Third, the test of the market economy. The development of the socialist market economy in our country is a brand-new undertaking that has no precedent, which requires us to base ourselves on the national conditions, have the courage to explore, embark on a path of socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics, form a new pattern of equal competition and mutual promotion of various forms of ownership, and accelerate the formation of a unified, open, competitive and orderly modern market system. further improve macroeconomic regulation and control, effectively regulate economic operation, and avoid economic ups and downs and even periodic economic crises; We should further reform and improve the income distribution system and the interest adjustment mechanism. On the other hand, in the process of perfecting the socialist market economic system, how to properly lead the development of the socialist market economy while always maintaining the party's advanced nature and purity is a difficult problem that cannot be bypassed before our party.

Fourth, the external environment test. Insight into development opportunities, research and judgment of various risks, overall domestic and international situations, make good use of two markets and two resources, and firmly grasp the strategic initiative of development; We are facing a major test on how to actively participate in international economic cooperation and competition, effectively resist the infiltration and sabotage of Western hostile forces, safeguard the security of the ruling party, and absorb all outstanding achievements of foreign civilization while rejecting all decadent things.

In addition, there are also many problems within the party that do not meet the requirements of the new situation and new tasks and do not conform to the party's nature and purpose, and the successful resolution of these major problems also tests our ability and level of managing the party and governing the party.

If it is not treated, it will be sick to the bone marrow, and when it is completely out of the trust of the masses, it will be over.

Why is it said that the task of strictly administering the party is heavier and more urgent than ever before?

The whole party must soberly realize that under the new situation in which profound changes have taken place in the world, the country, and the party, we are faced with many unprecedented new situations, new problems, and new challenges in improving the party's leadership and ruling ability, enhancing its ability to resist corruption and degeneration, and resisting risks, and strengthening the party's ability to govern and build its advanced nature. The danger of mental slackness, the danger of insufficient ability, the danger of detachment from the masses, and the danger of passivity and corruption are more acutely placed before the whole party, and the task of implementing the party's management of the party and the strict management of the party is heavier and more urgent than ever before.

"Why is the task of strictly administering the party more onerous and urgent than ever before? "Please talk about your understanding of 'party rules and party discipline are stricter than national laws' in light of the content of the Party Constitution," ......

In the past, I only knew a rough idea of the party constitution and party rules that should be known, and it was plausible when I encountered problems. Through this test, I have awakened my awareness of the party constitution and party rules, and also improved my learning ability, innovation ability and performance ability. A department-level cadre who participated in the test said.

1. To improve the scientific level of party building under the new historical conditions, we must persist in emancipating the mind, seeking truth from facts, advancing with the times, vigorously promoting the Sinicization of Marxism, the modernization and popularization of Marxism, and improving the ideological and political level of the whole party;

2. We must adhere to the principle of appointing people on the basis of merit, insisting on having both ability and political integrity, taking morality as the first employment standard, and gathering outstanding talents from all walks of life into the cause of the party and the country; We must adhere to the concept of people-oriented and governing for the people, firmly establish the Marxist mass viewpoint, consciously implement the party's mass line, and always maintain the flesh-and-blood ties between the party and the people;

3. It is necessary to adhere to the principle of treating both the symptoms and the root causes, comprehensively tackling the problem, punishing and preventing at the same time, and paying attention to prevention, carry out in depth the building of a clean and honest government and the struggle against corruption, and always maintain the advanced nature and purity of a Marxist political party;

4. We must adhere to the use of systems to manage power, manage affairs and manage people, improve the system of democratic centralism, and constantly promote the institutionalization, standardization and proceduralization of party building;

5. As long as the comrades of the whole party always have the heart of worrying about the party, fulfill the responsibility of rejuvenating the party, and promote the building of the party with a more energetic and promising spirit, our party will be able to better grasp the general trend of history, bravely stand at the forefront of the times, and lead social progress.

This is because: First, our party is facing the test brought about by its long-term rule. Different from the early days of the ruling party, the greatest danger of being in power for a long time is that it is easy to divorce itself from the masses, bureaucracy is easy to develop, it is easy to breed the inertia of sticking to the old ways and not wanting to make progress, the body of the party is easily eroded, and all kinds of corrupt phenomena are produced.

If we turn a blind eye to these dangers, become insensitive, and fail to put things in order, the party may be abandoned by the people and the party's ruling position will be in danger of being lost.

Second, our party must withstand the test of reform and opening up. On the basis of eliminating all kinds of interference from the "left" and the right, our party must not follow the old road of closure and rigidity, nor take the evil road of changing its banner, unswervingly hold high the banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, unswervingly adhere to the party's basic theory, basic line, basic program, and basic experience, unswervingly adhere to economic construction as the center, and unswervingly grasp the development of the party's primary task of governing and rejuvenating the country, and fight the tough battle of reforming the "deep-water area" with strong will and determination, innovative ideas and measures, and adhere to the people-oriented principle. Adhere to comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development, and more consciously follow the path of scientific development.

Third, our party must cope with the test of the market economy. The principle of market exchange in the economic field will be reflected in the field of political life and even in the life of the party to varying degrees, resulting in money worship, hedonism, and extreme individualism eroding the body of the party. How to properly lead the development of the socialist market economy while always maintaining the party's advanced nature and purity is a difficult problem that cannot be bypassed before our party.

Fourth, our party must cope with the test of the external environment. In order for our party to lead domestic construction well, we must not ignore the influence of the external environment for a moment, and we cannot do without accurately judging the development and changes of the world situation for a moment. How to gain insight into development opportunities with a broad world vision, study and judge various risks, coordinate the overall domestic and international situations, make good use of two markets and two resources, and firmly grasp the strategic initiative of development; We are facing a major test on how to actively participate in international economic cooperation and competition, effectively resist the infiltration and sabotage of Western hostile forces, safeguard the security of the ruling party, and absorb all outstanding achievements of foreign civilization while rejecting all decadent things.

The four tests facing the election of the A party are long-term, complex, and severe, and the tasks of managing the party and administering the party strictly are more arduous and urgent than ever before.
