[Persistently Advancing Full and Rigorous Party Self-Governance] Strengthening the Party’s Organizational Development and Consolidating the Foundations for Revitalizing and Strengthening the Party

CCTV.com reports (Xinwen Lianbo): The Party’s strength comes from its organization. The Party’s overall leadership and all its work depend on a strong organizational system. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core has improved a tightly knit organizational system that connects all levels and executes decisions effectively, focused on strengthening Party organizations’ political and organizational functions, and built primary-level Party organizations into strong bastions that effectively ensure Party leadership. This has provided a strong organizational guarantee for persistently advancing full and rigorous Party self-governance on the new journey and comprehensively advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese modernization.

In the opening year of the 15th Five-Year Plan, amid the dynamic practice of advancing Chinese modernization, Communist Party members are working on the front lines of economic development and social progress. Primary-level Party organizations extend to every corner of cities and villages, bringing the entire Party together in purpose and coordinating the country’s efforts as a whole, so that the CPC Central Committee’s decisions and plans are transmitted through every level and take root.

The primary level is the foundation of the Party’s governance and the source of its strength.

After the Party’s 18th National Congress, addressing a period of lax, lenient, and weak Party management and governance, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the Party’s overall leadership and all its work depend on a strong organizational system. He stressed that strict requirements must be conveyed to Party organizations at every level and all Party members, extending full and rigorous Party self-governance to the primary level.

General Secretary Xi Jinping has provided the top-level design for the Party’s organizational development in the new era. Xi Jinping’s thought on Party building systematically sets out the fundamental requirements for organizational development in the new era, covering upholding the CPC Central Committee’s centralized, unified leadership; taking the Party’s political development as the overarching principle; improving an organizational system that connects all levels and executes decisions effectively; building a contingent of high-caliber officials capable of shouldering the important task of national rejuvenation; and fulfilling political responsibilities for Party management and governance.

Guided by Xi Jinping’s thought on Party building, Party members and officials have continued to strengthen their sense of responsibility and mission, work diligently and shoulder responsibilities, and deliver benefits to the people. They have maintained a high degree of alignment with the CPC Central Committee in thinking, political stance, and action, giving strong expression to the Party’s organizational strengths and power.

In communities, Party building is being strengthened as a guiding force, with Party members organized to work in residential compounds, buildings, and individual building entrances, promoting governance involving multiple participants and jointly creating places where residents feel most reassured and at ease. Localities are building Party and public service centers that not only provide thoughtful services such as community canteens, leisure and entertainment, and evening classes for residents, but also offer one-stop solutions to complex problems spanning regions, departments, and administrative levels.

In advancing comprehensive rural revitalization, primary-level Party organizations serve as strong bastions. Nationwide, 150,000 village-based work teams and more than 500,000 village-based first Party secretaries and team members are rooted on the front lines, fulfilling their duties. More than 1,050 medical professionals, more than 2,400 education professionals, and more than 1,900 science and technology professionals are providing assistance in coordinated teams in 160 counties designated as national priorities for rural revitalization support. The Party branch of Gala Village in Nyingchi, Tibet, took the lead in establishing a specialized cooperative for farmers and herders, helping villagers improve the quality of the Peach Blossom Tourism Festival and develop cherry-picking sites, creating new sources of growth for the village’s collective economy.

On the main fronts of major national projects and high-quality economic development, Party members and primary-level Party organizations are taking the lead and working on the front lines, pooling efforts to achieve breakthroughs in core technologies and foster new quality productive forces, turning organizational strengths into a powerful driver of development.

As new economic organizations, new social organizations, and new employment groups continue to emerge, localities are working to consolidate and expand the coverage of Party organizations and Party work. The Party’s appeal, cohesion, and influence in emerging sectors continue to grow. Gao Feng, a National Outstanding Communist Party Member who serves as secretary of a delivery riders’ Party branch, conveys the Party’s voice to fellow riders and leads Party-member riders in actively participating in urban primary-level governance.

On the new journey, the Party must continuously strengthen its organizational development and consolidate the foundations for revitalizing and strengthening itself. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, primary-level Party organizations and Party members and officials will, with unified thinking, firm resolve, coordinated action, and strong fighting capacity, actively shoulder responsibilities, act boldly, and be both willing and adept at carrying out struggles, successfully advancing the historic cause of building a strong country and achieving national rejuvenation.
