（2016Year 10Adoption at the 6th Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on 27th)

The key to doing a good job in China lies in the Party. The key lies in the Party's control of the Party and strict administration of the Party. If the party wants to manage the party, it must start from the political life within the party, and strictly administering the party must start from the political life within the party.

Carrying out serious inner-party political life is our party's fine tradition and political advantage. In the long-term practice, our party has persisted in taking the development of serious inner-party political life as an important task of party building, and has formed the basic norms of inner-party political life with the main contents of seeking truth from facts, integrating theory with practice, keeping close ties with the masses, criticism and self-criticism, democratic centralism, and strict party discipline, it has accumulated rich experience in consolidating the party's unity and centralization, maintaining the party's advanced nature and purity, and enhancing the party's vitality, and has played an important role in ensuring the completion of the party's central tasks in various historical periods.

In 1980, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China profoundly summed up historical experience, especially the lessons of the "Cultural Revolution", and formulated the "Several Guidelines on Political Life within the Party", in order to rectify chaos, restore and improve political life within the party, Promoting party building has played an important role, and its main principles and regulations are still applicable today and must continue to be adhered.

Under the new situation, the political life within the party is generally good. At the same time, for a period of time, some prominent problems have also appeared in the political life of the party. The main ones are: among some party members and cadres, including senior cadres, their ideals and beliefs are not firm, they are not loyal to the party, their discipline is lax, they are divorced from the masses, they are arbitrary, and they practice fraud., Laziness, individualism, decentralization, liberalism, good humanism, sectarianism, sectarianism, mountainism, money worship, the problems of formalism, bureaucracy, hedonism, and extravagance are prominent. The phenomenon of cronyism, running for officials, buying and selling officials, canvassing and bribing elections has been repeatedly prohibited, abuse of power, corruption and bribery, corruption, and violation of law and discipline. In particular, a very small number of senior cadres have inflated political ambitions and are obsessed with power, engaging in political conspiracy activities such as disobedience, forming parties for private purposes, gangs, forming gangs, and seeking power. These problems have seriously eroded the party's ideological and moral foundation, seriously undermined the party's unity and centralization, 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. This requires that we must continue to strengthen party building with the spirit of reform and innovation, strengthen and standardize political life within the party, and comprehensively improve the scientific level of party building.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has practiced and set an example, firmly promoted the comprehensive and strict governance of the party, insisted on the close integration of ideological party building and system governance, concentrated on rectifying the party style, severely punishing corruption, and purifying the party.

Historical experience has shown that our party, as a Marxist party, must speak politics with a clear-cut stand and carry out political life within the party seriously. In order to better carry out the great struggle with many new historical characteristics, promote the new great project of party building, and promote the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, withstand the "four major tests" and overcome the "four dangers", it is necessary to formulate a The guidelines for political life within the party under the new situation.

Resolutely correct the bias of voting only, dividing only, GDP only, age only, etc., and resolutely overcome the tendency of a few people to choose people from a few people. Leading cadres should take the lead in implementing the party's cadre policy. They are not allowed to nepotism, engage in closeness, block officials to make wishes, run away, buy people's hearts, and are not allowed to greet or hand over notes for the promotion and appointment of cadres. Leading cadres must not interfere with the selection and appointment of cadres in places where they have worked and lived, units where they have worked, and cadres who do not belong to their own fields of responsibility. The party organizations of relevant localities and units must resist such violations of the party's organizational principles.

No one is allowed to treat Party cadres as private property, and no one is allowed to engage in personal attachment within the Party. Leading cadres, especially senior cadres, should not engage in patriarchal system and ask others to follow orders. In particular, they should not ask their subordinates to do things that violate Party discipline and state law. Lower levels should resist such demands from higher-level leading cadres and report to higher-level party organizations and even to the Party Central Committee. They should not obey higher-level leading cadres without principle. Standardize and purify the exchanges of comrades within the party, leading cadres must not dictate to party members, and party members must not flatter leading cadres.

Cadres are the precious wealth of the party. They must not only be strictly educated, strictly managed, and strictly supervised, but also sincerely care for politics, ideology, work, and life, and encourage cadres to start their own businesses and act boldly.

Establish a fault-tolerant and error-correcting mechanism to tolerate mistakes made by cadres in their work, especially in reform and innovation. Adhere to the past and the future, cure the sick to save people, treat cadres who have made mistakes correctly, and help them understand and correct their mistakes. It is not allowed to confuse the nature of the mistakes made by cadres or exaggerate the degree of mistakes to deal with cadres inappropriately, and it is not allowed to use the mistakes made by cadres to vent their personal anger or retaliate.

The party's organizations and leading cadres at all levels must bear in mind that empty talk will mislead the country, work hard to rejuvenate the country, practice the correct concept of political achievements, carry forward the spirit of hammering nails, refrain from empty talk, observe the facts, make practical moves, do practical things, seek practical results, and fulfill their duties. Leading cadres at all levels should be selfless and fearless, dare to face up to difficulties in the face of contradictions, dare to stand up to dangers, and dare to take responsibility in the face of mistakes. Party organizations at all levels should take a clear-cut stand to take responsibility for cadres who dare to take responsibility and for cadres who dare to take responsibility. Cadres who do not take responsibility, do not act, and perfunctorily should be seriously criticized, and if necessary, they should be dealt with by the organization or party discipline; those who neglect their duties and dereliction of duty should be seriously held accountable, and those who cause serious consequences should be seriously held accountable and dealt with in accordance with discipline and law.

9. Strict System of the Party's Organizational Life

The party's organizational life is an important content and carrier of the party's political life, and an important form of education, management and supervision of party members by party organizations. We must adhere to the various systems of the Party's organizational life, innovate ways and means, and enhance the vitality of the Party's organizational life.

All party members and cadres, especially senior cadres, must enhance their awareness of the party and always bear in mind that their first identity is a party member. No party member can dissociate from the party organization, let alone override the party organization. Every Party member, regardless of his or her position, must participate in the Party's organizational life. Party organizations should strictly implement the system of organizational life to ensure that the party's organizational life is regular, serious and serious.

Adhere to the "three meetings and one lesson" system. Party members must attend party meetings, party group meetings and party classes, and party branches must hold regular branch committee meetings. The "three meetings and one lesson" should highlight political study and education, highlight the exercise of party spirit, and resolutely prevent superficiality, formalization, entertainment, and vulgarization. Leading cadres should participate in the organizational life of their party branches or party groups as ordinary party members, and adhere to the system of party members and leading cadres giving party lessons. Every party member must consciously pay party dues in accordance with regulations, and the use and management of party dues must be open and transparent.

Adhere to the system of democratic life meetings and organizational life meetings. Before the meeting, it is necessary to listen to opinions extensively and have in-depth heart-to-heart talks. At the meeting, it is necessary to carefully investigate the problems, deeply analyze the root causes, and clarify the direction of rectification. After the meeting, it is necessary to implement rectification one by one. Members of the leading bodies of party organizations at higher levels regularly and randomly participate in democratic life meetings and organizational life meetings of the leading bodies of party organizations at lower levels, and promptly correct problems found. The Political Bureau of the Central Committee took the lead in holding a good democratic life meeting.

Adhere to the heart-to-heart talk system. Regular heart-to-heart talks should be held between members of the leading bodies of party organizations, between members of leading bodies and party members, and between party members and party members, to meet frankly, exchange ideas, and exchange views. Leading cadres should take the lead in the talks and be interviewed by party members and cadres.

Insist on democratic appraisal of party members. Supervise and urge party members to analyze party spirit in accordance with the party membership standards stipulated in the party constitution, in accordance with the party oath, and in connection with personal reality, so as to strengthen the awareness of party members, enhance the concept of the party, and improve the cultivation of party spirit. Party members who are not strong in party spirit should be criticized and educated in a timely manner and corrected within a time limit; if there is no change after education, they should be persuaded to quit the party or be removed from the list.

Leading cadres must strengthen their organizational concepts. Major issues and personal matters in their work must be reported to the organization for instructions in accordance with regulations and procedures, and they must report to the organization for instructions in advance when they leave their posts or work locations. Those who fail to report on time, truthfully or conceal without justifiable reasons shall be dealt with seriously.

10. carry out criticism and self-criticism

Criticism and self-criticism are not only sharp weapons for our party to strengthen its body and cure diseases and maintain physical health, but also important means to strengthen and standardize the political life within the party. We must make good use of criticism and self-criticism as a weapon.

Criticism and self-criticism must adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts, stressing party spirit without personal feelings, truth without face, and "unity-criticism-unity". In accordance with the requirements of "looking in the mirror, dressing properly, taking a bath, and treating diseases," we must seriously raise opinions and enthusiastically help comrades. We must not turn self-criticism into self-praise and mutual criticism into mutual flattery.

Party members and cadres must be strict with self-analysis, analyze the causes of the problems found, and seriously rectify them. In dealing with criticism, we must correct it if we have something to do, and encourage it if we have nothing to do with it, and we must not engage in unprincipled disputes.

Criticism must be made out of public interest, not subjective and arbitrary, and not venting private anger. Resolutely oppose the vulgar philosophy and good humanism that have nothing to do with oneself, hang high, know that it is wrong, and say less is better, and resolutely overcome the wrong tendencies such as overwriting and not correcting mistakes.

The party's leading organs and leading cadres must listen to all kinds of different opinions and encourage their subordinates to reflect the real situation. The reports, speeches, and various work summaries of the work conferences within the party, and the inspection and guidance of higher-level organs and leading cadres must not only focus on achievements and experience, but also on problems and shortcomings; we must not only focus on solving problems, but also reflect on ourselves from problems. Work and leadership responsibilities.

Leading cadres, especially senior cadres, must take the lead in following advice and speaking out, and guide party members and cadres to dispel self-criticism for fear of losing face, criticizing superiors for fear of wearing small shoes, criticizing peers for fear of hurting harmony, and criticizing subordinates for fear of losing votes with exemplary actions of criticism and self-criticism. The ability to find and solve their own problems is an important basis for assessing and evaluating the leadership team.

XI. Strengthening the Restriction and Supervision of the Operation of Power

Supervision is the fundamental guarantee for the correct operation of power and an important measure to strengthen and standardize the political life within the party. It is necessary to strengthen the supervision of leading cadres. The party is not allowed to have unrestricted power, nor is it allowed to have special party members who are not subject to supervision.

Improve the power operation restriction and supervision mechanism, and form an institutional arrangement in which power must be held accountable, power must be held accountable, and abuse of power must be held accountable. Implement the power list system, disclose the process and results of power operation, improve the accountability mechanism for improper use of power, put power in the system cage, and let power operate in the sun.

Party organizations and leading cadres at all levels must act within the scope of the Constitution and laws, enhance the awareness of the rule of law, promote the spirit of the rule of law, and consciously act in accordance with statutory powers, rules, and procedures. They must not use words to replace the law, use power to suppress the law, or bend the law for personal gain. Never interfere with justice in violation of regulations.

Create an environment for democratic supervision within the Party and smooth the channels for democratic supervision within the Party. Party organizations at all levels and all Party members should enhance their awareness of supervision, not only fulfill their supervision responsibilities, but also accept supervision from all aspects.

Inner-Party supervision must highlight the Party's leading organs and leading cadres, especially the main leading cadres. Leading cadres must treat supervision correctly, accept supervision on their own initiative, get used to working under supervision, and must never refuse or evade supervision.

Leading cadres, especially senior cadres, must strengthen self-discipline, be cautious, consciously check and promptly correct problems in the exercise of power, integrity and diligence, so that the power that can be exercised is exercised correctly in accordance with the rules, and the power that should be exercised by the higher-level organization is not exercised by the lower-level organization. Individual members of the leadership team cannot exercise the power that should not be exercised by themselves.

No party organization or leading cadre is allowed to conceal or delay reports involving violations of discipline and law, and problems reported by party members. Leading cadres involved in the problems reflected should avoid, and are not allowed to interfere or interfere in the organization of investigations.

Party members and cadres should reflect the problems of others out of party spirit and through normal channels within the party under their real names. They are not allowed to spread gossip, distribute anonymous letters, or make false accusations. For party members who report problems through normal channels, no organization or individual is allowed to retaliate, conduct investigations without authorization, and are not allowed to take punitive measures such as transfer from work or demotion.

Insist that the authorized person should be responsible for supervision, and if problems are found, they should be dealt with in a timely manner. Strengthen the supervision of higher-level organizations over the exercise of power by lower-level organizations, especially the main leading cadres, to prevent the loss of control and abuse of power.

Supervision over the exercise of power by party organizations and party members and cadres must be carried out in accordance with discipline and law. Discipline inspection and supervision and judicial organs shall investigate suspected serious violations of discipline and law in strict accordance with discipline and law and procedures. No organization or individual may decide on its own or be instructed to take illegal investigative measures against party members and cadres. Those who violate the regulations shall be seriously investigated for disciplinary and legal responsibility.

XII. Maintaining a clean and honest political character

Building a clean and honest politics and resolutely opposing corruption is an important task in strengthening and regulating the political life within the party. We must build a strong ideological and institutional line of defense against corruption and degeneration, and strive to build a system and mechanism that dare not, cannot, and do not want to rot, so as to maintain the health of the party's body and the purity of the team.

Leading cadres at all levels must be strict with self-cultivation, strict use of power, strict self-discipline, be practical in seeking things, starting a business, and being a man, stand the test of power, money, and beauty, and serve the people with the power conferred by the party and the people.

Leading cadres, especially senior cadres, must take the lead in practicing the core values of socialism, inherit and carry forward the fine traditions and style of the party, promote the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, stress self-cultivation, morality, integrity, and shame, and cultivate the high morale of the Communists. Consciously stay away from low-level tastes.

Leading cadres at all levels are public servants of the people and have no right to specialization. The Political Bureau of the Central Committee should take the lead in implementing the eight regulations of the Central Committee. Leading cadres at all levels, especially senior cadres, should adhere to the principle of building the party for the public and governing for the people, adhere to the distinction between public and private, first public and private, and self-restraint, take the lead in maintaining the style of modesty, prudence, not arrogance and impatience, maintain the style of hard struggle, take the lead in implementing the code of honesty and self-discipline, consciously fight against the idea of privilege and the phenomenon of privilege, and the phenomenon, and the phenomenon of privilege, it is forbidden to use all kinds of excuses or clever pretexts to encroach on or squander state and collective property, and it is forbidden to raise the standard of treatment for cadres in violation of regulations.

Leading cadres, especially senior cadres, must pay attention to family, family education, and family style, and educate and manage relatives and staff around them. Strictly implement the system of reporting on personal matters related to leading cadres, and further standardize the practice of leading cadres' spouses and children. It is forbidden to use power or influence to seek special care for family members, relatives and friends, and it is forbidden for family members, relatives and friends of leading cadres to interfere in the work and personnel arrangements within the scope of the leading cadres' powers. Leading groups and leading cadres at all levels must resolutely resist violations of regulations and interventions from the families, relatives and friends of leading cadres, and report the relevant situation to the party organization.

All party members and cadres, especially senior cadres, must resist corruption and never touch, resolutely fight against negative corruption, resolutely resist unspoken rules, consciously purify social circles, life circles, and friends circles, and must not move the set of commodity exchange to the party. Political life and work are coming. The party's organizations at all levels must shoulder the political responsibility of fighting corruption and advocating integrity, insist that corruption must be countered, corruption must be eliminated, insist on fighting "tigers" and "flies" together, insist on no restricted areas, full coverage, and zero tolerance. There is no place for corrupt elements to hide.

It is the common task of the whole party to strengthen and standardize the political life within the party, and the whole party must work together. Party committees (party groups) at all levels must fully fulfill their leadership responsibilities for strengthening and regulating political life within the party, focus on solving outstanding problems, establish and improve the system of political life within the party, and implement various tasks of strengthening and regulating political life within the party. We will carry out in-depth publicity and education on the norms of inner-party political life, and list the norms of inner-party political life as a compulsory content for the education and training of party members and cadres.

Implement the main responsibility of the Party committee and the supervision responsibility of the Discipline Inspection Commission, and strengthen the accountability. The main person in charge of the party committee (party group) must earnestly perform the responsibility of the first responsible person. Party organizations at all levels should strengthen supervision and inspection of the implementation of the norms of inner-party political life, establish and improve accountability mechanisms, party organizations at higher levels should strengthen guidance, supervision and inspection of party organizations at lower levels, organizational departments and organs at all levels should strengthen daily management, and discipline inspection organs at all levels should seriously investigate and deal with all kinds of acts that violate the norms of inner-party political life.

To strengthen and standardize the political life within the party, we must start with the Central Committee, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, and the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee. Senior cadres must clearly understand the special importance of their positions to the party and the country. The higher the position, the more they must consciously and strictly demand themselves in accordance with the standards put forward by the party. The more they must be strong in party spirit and strict in party discipline, so that they are always loyal to the party and never Betrayed the party. Formulate implementation opinions for senior cadres to implement these guidelines, and guide and urge senior cadres to set an example for the whole party in observing and implementing the guidelines for political life within the party.

Comprehensive and strict governance of the party is always on the road. The whole party must make unremitting efforts to jointly create a clean and upright political ecology to ensure that the party will always become the strong leadership core of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

People's Daily (2016Year 1103, 05)

The Organization Department of the Central Committee answered reporters' questions on "Several Guidelines on Political Life within the Party under the New Situation"

Time: 2016-11-24 14:48:21

The key to doing a good job in China lies in the Party. The key lies in the Party's control of the Party and strict administration of the Party. If the party wants to manage the party, it must start from the political life within the party, and strictly administering the party must start from the political life within the party.

Recently, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China deliberated and passed the "Several Guidelines on Political Life within the Party under the New Situation" (hereinafter referred to as the Guidelines). The "Code" is not only the concretization of the provisions of the party constitution, but also the systematization of a series of measures formed in the practice of comprehensive and strict governance of the party in recent years. It provides a basic follow for serious political life within the party and purifying the political ecology within the party. Relevant responsible comrades of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee answered reporters' questions on the "Guidelines.

　　Question: Please talk about the important role of strengthening and regulating the political life of the party.

Answer: Carrying out serious and serious inner-party political life is our party's fine tradition and political advantage. It is an important magic weapon for our party to adhere to the nature and purpose of the party, maintain its advanced nature and purity, and improve its creativity, cohesion and combat effectiveness. It is our party. An important way to achieve self-purification, self-improvement, self-innovation, and self-improvement. Since its establishment, our party has attached great importance to the political life within the party, and in long-term practice, it has gradually formed the basic norms of inner-party political life with seeking truth from facts, integrating theory with practice, keeping close contact with the masses, criticism and self-criticism, democratic centralism, and strict party discipline.

After the third Plenary session of the Eleventh Central Committee, our party also conscientiously summed up the positive and negative experiences of inner-party political life, especially the painful lessons of the "Cultural Revolution." in 1980The "Guidelines on Political Life within the Party" were specially formulated in, which played a very important role in bringing order out of chaos and shifting the work center of the whole party, promoting the unity and unity of the Party, and ensuring the smooth progress of reform, opening up, and socialist modernization.

　　Q: Why is this plenary meeting setting a new guideline?

Answer: There are mainly the following considerations: First, the need to improve the "four comprehensive" strategic layout. Coordinating and advancing the "four comprehensive" strategic layout is a new strategy for governing the country determined by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core. The third, fourth and Fifth Plenary sessions of the 18th CPC Central Committee successively conducted special studies on comprehensively deepening reform, comprehensively governing the country according to law, and building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. This time, the sixth Plenary session of the CPC Central Committee focused on the formulation of guidelines for inner-party political life and the revision of inner-party supervision regulations, so that the strategic layout of the "four comprehensive" was studied and deployed through a plenary session of the CPC Central Committee. This is an overall design of the CPC Central Committee.

The second is to deepen the need to comprehensively and strictly govern the party. Strictly administering the party in an all-round way is the distinct theme of the CPC Central Committee's efforts to build the party since the 18th CPC National Congress. Strengthening and standardizing the political life within the party is an important starting point for promoting comprehensive and strict governance of the party. On the basis of an in-depth summary of the vivid practice of comprehensively and strictly governing the party since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has carefully analyzed the new situations and new problems facing party building under the new situation, and has made a contribution to strengthening and regulating the political life within the party. The new institutional arrangements will surely play a powerful role in deepening the comprehensive and strict governance of the party.

Third, the need to resolve outstanding contradictions and problems within the Party. In long-term practice, the political life within the party is generally good, but for a period of time, some prominent contradictions and problems have also appeared. For example, some party members and cadres are not firm in ideals and beliefs, lax in discipline, divorced from the masses, arbitrary, fraudulent, lazy and inaction, individualism, decentralism, liberalism, good humanism, sectarianism, mountainism, and money worship exist to varying degrees. Formalism, bureaucracy, hedonism, and extravagance are prominent. Nepotism, running officials, buying and selling officials, and canvassing for votes are repeatedly banned, abuse of power, corruption and bribery, corruption, and violations of law and discipline have spread. In particular, a very small number of senior cadres have inflated their political ambitions and lust for power, engaging in political conspiracy activities such as disobedience, forming parties for private interests, gangs, gangs, and seeking power, which have seriously undermined the unity and centralization of the party and seriously damaged the party. The political ecology and the image of the party have caused huge losses to the cause of the party and the people, and the lessons are very profound. In response to these problems, since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, our party has adopted a series of new measures to rectify discipline, fight corruption and promote integrity, and strictly govern officials. This has brought about many new atmospheres in the political life of the party, and the political ecology of the party has been significantly improved. The whole party and the whole society highly agree. However, we are also soberly aware that with the changes in the ruling environment and conditions, the "four major challenges" and "four dangers" facing our party will be long-term, complex and severe. In order to consolidate the good momentum of administering the party strictly in an all-round way, effectively prevent the recurrence of resolved contradictions and problems, and prevent the breeding and spread of new contradictions and problems, we must adhere to the combination of ideological party building and system governance, improve norms, and improve the system.

　　Q: May I ask about the newly formulated Guidelines and 1980What is the relationship between the criteria of the year? What are the important changes

Answer: 1980In 2000, our party formulated "some guidelines on inner-party political life", which is the first time to regulate inner-party political life in the form of inner-party laws and regulations, which should be said to be of groundbreaking significance. 1980The main principles and provisions of the 2008 guidelines are still applicable today. For example, they are about adhering to the party's political line and ideological line, maintaining the party's centralization and unity, strictly abiding by the party's discipline, requiring party members and cadres to tell the truth and be consistent with their words and deeds, promoting inner-party democracy and correctly treating different opinions, protecting the rights of party members from infringement, accepting the supervision of the party and the masses, and not allowing privileges, wait. These require continued adherence and compliance.

But considering the 1980The 2008 guidelines were formulated in the special period after the end of the "Cultural Revolution". They were aimed at the historical conditions and major contradictions at that time. Now 36In the past year, great changes have taken place in the situation. Party building has not only accumulated a lot of new achievements and new experience, but also faced many new situations and new problems. Therefore, it is necessary to formulate a new standard.

Through the formulation of new guidelines, we will not only adhere to the provisions that have worked well in the past, but also make new provisions in the light of the characteristics of the new era. In this spirit, the new guidelines adopted by the Sixth Plenary Session of the Central Committee both reaffirm the 1980The main principles and provisions of the annual guidelines have put forward a series of new ideas, new initiatives and new provisions. For example, to emphasize adherence to the party's leadership, first of all, to adhere to the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, which involves major national principles and policies of the whole party, and only the Party Central Committee has the right to make decisions and interpretations; it is strictly forbidden to promote personal relations, cultivate personal power and form interest groups within the party; leading cadres, especially senior cadres, must pay attention to family, family education and family style, and educate and manage their relatives and staff, strictly implement the system of reporting on personal matters related to leading cadres, and so on. In short, the new and old norms are interrelated and come down in one continuous line, which must be followed in the political life of the party at present and in the future.

　　Q: in the next step, how to implement a series of new measures and viewpoints put forward in the guidelines

A: The new guidelines have 160There are many new regulations and new measures, some of which belong to directional guidance and declaratory calls, some belong to highly targeted specific measures and normative requirements, and some are rigid disciplinary regulations. Generally speaking, these regulations and requirements are very clear and have strong operability. With regard to implementation, the Sixth Plenary Session put forward clear requirements. As for how to implement it well, from the perspective of work, I feel that education, supervision, investigation and accountability must be combined. Education is to take the study and implementation of the guidelines as an important content of the "two studies and one doing" learning and education. Through normalized and targeted education, the majority of party members and cadres can enter their minds and hearts, and enhance their ideological and action consciousness. Supervision means to understand and master the thoughts and behaviors of party members and cadres in a timely and in-depth manner, and to strengthen daily reminders, supervision, and inspections. We should carry out regular criticism and self-criticism to urge Party members and cadres to guard against the gradual failure and strictly abide by the guidelines. To investigate and deal with is to investigate and deal with those who seriously violate the provisions of the guidelines, and to investigate and deal with them together. Accountability means that party organizations and their main responsible persons who fail to manage the party and allow violations of the code to occur should be seriously investigated for responsibility to ensure that the code becomes a "live high-voltage line".

What needs to be emphasized is that strengthening and regulating the political life within the party is a requirement for the whole party and a common task for the whole party, but the most important thing is to grasp the "key minority" of leading cadres, especially senior cadres ". The guidelines highlight this aspect and put forward many specific requirements, especially the formulation of implementation opinions for senior cadres to implement the guidelines. We firmly believe that under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, as long as we insist on true and strict management, dare to be strict, and long-term strict management, as we have done since the 18th National Congress, we will definitely be able to implement the requirements of the guidelines. To the grassroots level, implement it to every party member and cadre.
