Xi Jinping: on the "new situation of political life within the party a number of guidelines" and "th

Entrusted by the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, I now make an explanation of the relevant provisions of the drafting of the guidelines on the political life of the party in the new situation and the drafting of the regulations of the Communist Party of china.
In February this year, the Politburo decided on the the sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee special party comprehensive strictly, some party political life standards formulated under the new situation, the revised "Chinese Communist Party Supervision Regulations (Trial)", the establishment of document drafting group, headed by me, Liu Yunshan Wang Qishan, was appointed deputy leader, responsible for the relevant departments and local governments comrades, to work under the leadership of the Central Political Bureau Standing committee.
First, the draft document on the drafting of several considerations
In carrying out the party's mass line of educational practice and three strict three special education, many comrades have suggested that with the new situation, formulate a strengthen and regulate the political life of the party files.
In January 12, 2014, I pointed out to Liu Yunshan, the instructions of Comrade Wang Qishan: "in 1980 to develop the" guiding principles for party political life ", for the time of recovery and improve the inner-party democracy, safeguard the unity of the party's focus on serious party discipline, promote the unity of the party, politics, ideology, organization and style the implementation of the work of the whole party transfer center bring order out of chaos, and played an important role in history. At present, the "standard" has important practical significance for us to seriously and regulate the political life of the party, to carry forward the party's fine tradition and style." "Over the past 30 years, great changes have taken place in the situation and the party's situation. The party's construction has accumulated a lot of new achievements and new experiences, and faced with many new situations and new problems. Would you please consider whether it is appropriate for the central government to make a decision on strengthening and standardizing the Party 's political life in the new situation and put forward new demands."
Since the promulgation and implementation of the regulations of the Communist Party of China (for Trial Implementation) in December 31, 2003, it has played an active role in strengthening supervision within the party and maintaining the party's unity and unity. At the same time, with the development and change of the situation and tasks, the new requirements of the Ordinance and the new practice does not adapt to the problem emerged. The development of the situation we need to revise the regulations on responsibility system, design, construction of the system around the system, strengthen the supervision of Party organizations at a higher level lower Party organizations and leading cadres do, clear responsibility, clear the main system, useful and effective.
For some time, around the development of standards, amendments to the Ordinance, the authorities have done a lot of work. In 2014, the working group, which was attended by the comrades of the relevant departments, investigated and studied the issue of strengthening the party's political life. According to the requirements of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection five, the Third Plenary Session of the party on the improvement of the supervision system, the Central Commission for discipline inspection organs have held a special meeting of the, to study the work of the supervision of the amendment of the regulations.
These preliminary studies have made some important achievements, the Central Political Bureau comprehensive analysis, decided to use a central plenary session of this topic. Mainly in the following aspects.
First, it is necessary to improve the "four comprehensive" strategic layout. To promote the coordination of "four comprehensive" strategic layout, is the party's eighteen since the CPC Central Committee from a strategic height to achieve "two struggle one hundred years" goal and the great rejuvenation of the China dream, two domestic and international situations, ruling the country and grasp the development of new features to determine our country's governance is a new strategy. The strategic choice of the new era to promote reform and opening-up and socialist modernization, and the development of socialism Chinese characteristics.
In recent years, conducted a special study of the party's eighteen session of third, fourth, fifth plenary session have been comprehensively deepen reform and the rule of law, building a well-off society, the six plenary session of the two draft documents for formulating and revising thematic studies focusing on a comprehensive strictly, "the four overall strategic layout are respectively through a plenary session of the Central Committee of research and deployment. This is the overall design of the CPC Central Committee in accordance with the "four comprehensive" strategic layout of the plenary session.
Second, this is the need to deepen the comprehensive strictly. Comprehensive strictly is the party's eighteen since the CPC Central Committee on Party building of the distinct theme. Do China things, lies in the party, the key lies in the party to manage the party strictly. Under the new historical conditions, we should better be a great struggle, with many new historical features to promote Chinese characteristic socialism, it is necessary to promote the new great project of Party building with greater efforts, unswervingly push forward the comprehensive strictly, put the party's construction and management, to maintain the party's advanced nature and purity enhance the creativity, cohesion and fighting capacity of the party, improving the party's leadership and governance, to ensure that the party has always been the cause of socialism Chinese characteristics of a strong core of leadership.
To strengthen and standardize the political life of the party, strengthen inner-party supervision, are under the new situation, it is very important to strengthen the construction of the party is the subject, we advance an important starting point for comprehensive strictly. One of the most important lessons for our party to build the party is to constantly sum up the historical experience and successful practice of our party for a long time. Therefore, it is necessary through the six plenary session of the Central Committee, in recent years, especially since eighteen Party's strict theory and practice are summarized, which has been proved to be good, must insist for a long time; which can be further improved and the rise of regulationsIn order to solidify the form of party rules and regulations, which need to continue to deepen the new situation. So, at the same time, the CPC Central Committee decided to develop guidelines and amendments to the Ordinance, it is an important focus for promoting the comprehensive and strictly adhere to the combination of the party's ideological construction and system.
Third, this is the need to solve the outstanding contradictions and problems within the party. In the long-term practice, the overall situation of the party's political life is good, but for a period of time, there are some outstanding contradictions and problems to be solved mainly in: some party members and cadres, including senior cadres, no firm ideals and beliefs, party loyalty, Ji Lvsong relaxation and the masses, autocratic, resort to deceit lazy, inaction, individualism, decentralization, liberalism, haorenzhuyi, sectarianism, sectarianism, money worship in different degree, the problem of formalism and bureaucracy, hedonism and wasteful process, nepotism, official positions, buying and selling, canvassing bribery phenomenon repeated, the phenomenon of abuse of power, corruption and bribery, corruption, lawlessness and other breeds. Especially senior cadres in a handful of people, in order to engage in political ambitions, double face, round, interest, gangs of cliques, seek power political conspiracy. These problems have seriously eroded the ideological and moral foundation of the party, severely damaged the party's unity and centralized unity, seriously damaged the party's political ecology and the party's image, and seriously affected the development of the party and the people's cause. Zhou Yongkang, Bo Xilai, Guo Boxiong, Xu Caihou, et al. Ling Jihua serious violations of the law, they not only exposed serious problems in the economy, but they also exposed serious problems in politics, the lesson is very profound. This makes us realize that to solve some outstanding contradictions and problems existing in the party, must put ideological and political construction in the first place, create a positive political environment delicate gas. I said: "do a good job in all aspects of work, we must have a good political ecology. Dirty political ecology, political environment is bad; political ecology clear, political environment is excellent. Political ecology and natural ecology, like a little attention, it is easy to be contaminated, once the problem occurs, it is necessary to pay a high price to restore."
Inner party supervision is an important content of the construction of the party, it is also an important guarantee for the comprehensive strictly. For a long time, the CPC Central Committee attaches great importance to the supervision of the party and has taken effective measures to achieve remarkable results. At the same time, there are some contradictions and problems, mainly in some localities and departments of the leadership of the party, the party's construction, lack of weakening the overall strictly ineffective, some party members and cadres of the concept of indifference, organizational slack, slack discipline, some Party organizations and Party members and cadres do not strictly enforce the constitution, ignoring the political discipline, ignoring the organization the principle of. All sorts of problems for a period of time within the party, closely related to managing party wide is soft. Comprehensive strictly, the party must solve the problem of soft wide loss, lack of responsibility, the main responsibility for supervision of pipe fundamentally, to strengthen inner-party supervision as an important basic project of the construction of the party, the supervision system advantages fully released.
The party's eighteen years, we have fully strictly firmly in their hands, take a series of new initiatives and large party efforts to adhere to the positive wind Su Ji, tackling the problem, strict political discipline and political rules, resolutely curb the momentum of the spread of corruption, to construct the system mechanism not rot, not rot, do not want to rot, layers of implementation of a comprehensive strictly the main responsibility and oversight responsibilities, efforts to solve the problems existing in the political life of the party, there are many new weather, party political environment improved significantly, the whole society is highly recognized.
At the same time, we also clearly see that although the outstanding contradictions and problems existing in the party a lot has been effectively resolved, but some problems still exist, some problems are not thorough, some problems may continue to emerge, must continue to work hard, constantly from ideology, politics, organization, style and system to prevent and solve the outstanding contradictions and problems existing in the party. Especially to see the new historical conditions, great changes have taken place in the international and domestic situation, great changes have taken place in our party is facing the ruling environment and conditions, the party faces the "Four Test", "four danger" is a long, complex and severe. The outstanding contradictions and problems existing in the party to solve, to effectively resolve the major challenges and dangers facing the party, a very important thing is to improve the standard and sound system, truss system cage, the outstanding contradictions and problems have been solved even more in-depth and effective, and effectively prevent the new contradictions and problems the spread and prevent contradictions and problems have been solved the recrudescence.
In short, in the face of the new situation and tasks, to develop a new situation in the political life of the party a number of criteria, the amendment of the inner-party supervision regulations, the time is ripe, the conditions are met, the urgent need for significant.
Two, on the draft document drafting process
In March 1st this year, the CPC Central Committee issued the "CPC Central Committee on strengthening the party's the sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee study and regulate the political life of the party," Chinese amendment Communist Party Supervision Regulations (Trial) "to seek the views of the notice".

We believe that under the new situation to carry out serious party political life seriously, strengthen inner-party supervision, it is necessary to inherit and carry forward the fine tradition of our party formed in the long-term practice and basic norms, but also combined with the new situation and tasks, in the content category, the political life of the party and party supervision direction, principles, methods so to keep pace with the times, promote inner-Party political life and inner-party supervision system standardization program.

We believe that the most distinctive feature of the two document is the organic unity of inheritance and innovation, not only deeply summed up our party in strengthening its own construction experience and lessons, inherit and carry forward the regulations of our party formed in the long-term practice and traditions, and the summary of the party's eighteen Party Central to promote comprehensive vivid practice strictly, the theory and practice of comprehensive innovation strictly for Jina, and in-depth analysis of the new situation and new problems facing the construction of the party under the new situation, in view of the weak link in the political life of the party and party supervision put forward specific measures, the formation of new institutional arrangements, adaptation the serious political life of the party, strengthen inner-party supervision requirements of the new situation and tasks.

We also believe that the Party Central Committee on the two document in the party a range of comments, is reflected fully carry forward the democracy within the party, focus on the wisdom of the whole party, our party is the embodiment of emancipating the mind, excellent style. The theme of the draft is clear, clear thinking, rich in content, focused, effective measures, pragmatic and effective, ideological, guidance, operability are very strong.

Three, the draft document on the drafting of the principles and basic framework
In the process of drafting the draft document, the drafting team should focus on the following principles.
A valuable experience to inherit and carry forward the fine tradition of the party, to implement the new idea and thought since the eighteen CPC Central Committee put forward the new strategy of the party, the Party Central Committee to reflect the new experiences and new initiatives to promote comprehensive strictly, and put forward some new measures for new ideas with new practices, the new and innovative.

The three is to adhere to the problem oriented, focusing on the weakness of political life within the party and inner-party supervision, focus on theory, ideology, system construction system, around the power and responsibility, play design system, promote the settlement of the party's political life vulgar, random and flat and inner-party supervision system is not perfect, coverage is not in place, the responsibility is not clear execution, problems such as poor.
Four is to insist on co-ordination, strengthen top-level design and planning system to deal with the relationship between the new standards, new regulations and old standards, old regulations and other regulations of the party, do and keeps up with the times. On the necessity and feasibility of unity, regulate the political life of the party, strengthen inner-party supervision put forward principle for strengthening and not only in politics, and put forward practicable measures and methods to solve the problem, not to engage in.
The draft standards divided into three major parts, 12 parts: the first section is the preface, which belongs to the introduction, expounds the existing major role in the political life of the party and historical experience, strengthen and standardize the party political life problems, the situation and tasks under the new situation put forward the importance and urgency, strengthen and standardize the party political life goal.
The second plate is divided into theory, is the main part, around the firm ideals and beliefs, adhere to the basic line of the party, resolutely safeguard the authority of the Party Central Committee, strict political discipline, maintain close ties with the masses, adhere to the principle of democratic centralism, develop inner-party democracy and protect the rights of Party members, adhere to the correct selection and employment oriented, strict party the organization system of life, criticism and self-criticism, to strengthen the power restriction and supervision, 12 aspects to keep clean and honest political qualities are explicitly required to make specific provisions.
The third plate is the conclusion, mainly to strengthen the organization and leadership and supervision and inspection, senior cadres to take the lead in the demonstration, to ensure that the tasks are implemented.
The draft consists of 8 chapters, 47, is divided into three sections: the first chapter is the general principles, constitute the first plate, column 9, the main regulations clear purpose and basis, expounds the guiding ideology, basic principles of inner-party supervision, supervision, supervision, supervision content object methods and strengthen self supervision and construction of important issues of inner party supervision system etc..
The second chapter to the fifth chapter of the second plate is the main part of the Ordinance, column 27, respectively. The Party Central Organization, Party committees (party), the party's oversight responsibilities Commission for Discipline Inspection, grass-roots party organizations and members of the four kinds of supervision and the corresponding supervision system made the stipulation. Among them, the supervision of the central organization of the party set up a chapter, is a breakthrough in the existing regulations, reflecting the Party Central Committee as an example, the above rate.
The sixth chapter to the eighth chapter consists of third sections, column 11, respectively, the inner-party supervision and external supervision, rectification and combination of security, supplementary provisions. Regulations did not make the implementation of the central ministries and local Party committees to implement the rules of authorization, reflecting the whole Party must be implemented in an integrated manner to prevent flexibility, discount.
Four, need to focus on the two issues
First, the relationship between the new guidelines and the 1980 guidelines. The party after the third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, our party reviewed two party political life experience especially the painful lessons of the cultural revolution in 1980 formulated the "guiding principles for party political life". This criterion, in the special period of Cultural Revolution "after the end of the transfer of politics, ideology, organization and style of work of the party center and bring order out of chaos, to promote unity within the party, guarantee of reform and opening-up and socialist modernization smoothly, played a very important role.
The standard in 1980, which puts forward solutions to the contradictions and problems that exist within the party, and summarizes the valuable experience of the party in the long-term practice, is rich and development of Marx's theory of Party building, groundbreaking, its main principles and rules still apply today. For example, the principles and objectives of the political life of the party, insist on the party's ideological and political line, insisting on the collective leadership, as opposed to personal arbitrary, on the maintenance of centralized and unified, the party strictly abide by Party discipline, the party insisted on to tell the truth, what about, develop inner-party democracy and treat different opinions on the protection of the rights of Party members, is inviolable, on the acceptance of the party and the masses supervision, are not allowed to engage in privileges, etc.. These must continue to adhere to.
Why should we make a new rule? The Party Central Committee's consideration is the standard in 1980 although still has important guiding significance, but because this criterion is aimed at the main contradiction and the historical condition at that time, some prominent contradictions and problems appear now the party had not yet been met, and some contradictions and problems were more prominent now has not highlighted. The party's eighteen and revised by the Constitution and the party's eighteen session of third, fourth, fifth plenary session made clear provisions on issues related to the serious political life of the party under the new situation, but the comparison principle, we need to be specific. Since the reform and opening up, especially in recent years to develop a series of Party regulations and normative documents, many involved in the specification of the party's political life, but more decentralized, the need for systematic.
"Law and time to rule, governance and the world should be active." Under the new situation to strengthen and standardize the political life of the party, we must adhere to the past effective system and regulations, but also with the characteristics of the new era with the times, come up with new methods and regulations. We formulate and promulgate new standards, not to replace the 1980 guidelines, but to adhere to its main principles and regulations on the basis of the new situation and new problems. In this spirit, in the drafting of the draft document, we reiterated the main principles and provisions of the 1980 guidelines. The new and old standards are interrelated, the same strain, the current and future a period of political life within the party must follow.
Second, focusing on senior cadres. It is the request of the whole Party and the common task of the whole party to strengthen and standardize the political life of the party and strengthen the supervision within the party. At the same time, standard draft, draft regulations on senior cadres as the focus, the main consideration is to strengthen the construction of the party must do a good job of leading cadres and especially senior cadres, and to members of the Central Committee, the Central Political Bureau, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the central Committee is the key. This part of the people to grasp, to take the lead in the whole party, many things would be easier. Therefore, to strengthen and regulate the political life of the party and strengthen the supervision within the party, we must start from this part of the people.
Based on this consideration, we in the drafting of the two draft process, highlighting the senior cadres. For example, the first part emphasizes the draft standards, strengthen and standardize the political life of the party under the new situation, the key is the leading organs and leading cadres at all levels, especially senior cadres is the key to the Central Committee, the Central Political Bureau, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, especially senior cadres of the central leadership members must set an example, abide by the rules and regulations, abide by the party's political discipline and political rules, to forget the beginning of the heart, continue to move forward, to set an example, under the above rate, in order to make a model of the whole society. In the draft of the draft, it is necessary to emphasize the requirements of senior cadres. At the end of the draft, it further emphasizes that to strengthen and regulate the political life of the party, we should start from the Central Committee, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central committee. Senior cadres should clearly understand the importance of their special positions of the party and the state, the higher the position to act in accordance with the party's standard strict demands on themselves, and more to do with strong party spirit and strict discipline, always do loyalty to the party, never betray.
The bill also put forward special requirements on the central level. For example, specifically on the supervision of the Party Central Organization with a single chapter, stressed that the Central Committee members must strictly abide by the party's political discipline and political rules, other members have found in violation of the party constitution and undermine the party's discipline, harm the unity of the party's behavior should be firmly resisted, and promptly report to the Central Committee of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau each year; democratic life will be held, compared to check and party spirit, study measures to strengthen self construction; the Political Bureau of the Central Committee should strictly enforce the provisions of the central eight, consciously participate in a dual organizational life, truthfully to the Party Central Committee to report personal matters, take the lead in establishing a good family tradition, to strengthen their relatives and staff education and constraints on; the Political Bureau of the Central Committee's opinion, real name in a written form or in other forms to the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of central or The Standing Committee of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, etc..
Draft guidelines finally proposed to develop senior cadres to implement the implementation of the guidelines, guidance and supervision of senior cadres in compliance and implementation of the party's political life standards for the whole Party model. The work is under way.
In the process of soliciting opinions, some localities and units suggested that the draft rules into the style of the ordinance. We consider the criteria in the regulations of the party system, the order is relatively high, second only to the constitution. The guidelines, is an ideological, political, very strong comprehensive document, to sum up our party for a long time in the development of valuable experience in the political life of the party and the formation of the basic norms of CPC on the principle to carry out serious party political life and the vertical field, there are a lot of problems need to be reasonable. To do this, it is difficult to accommodate the way the regulations. As for some specific provisions involved, some of the relevant regulations within the party has been clearSome of them should be further implemented in the formulation of other relevant laws and regulations in the future. The current guidelines are consistent with the 1980 guidelines.
