Qiushi publishes General Secretary Xi Jinping's important article 'Advancing Full and Rigorous Party Self-Governance with Higher Standards and More Concrete Measures'

The article called on members of leadership teams, especially their principal leaders, to take the lead in implementing institutional rules and ensure that relevant oversight is carried out.

The article states that power must be confined within an institutional cage more scientifically and effectively. Confining power within an institutional cage is an important task of full and rigorous Party self-governance in the new era. Institutional rules must be improved to make the cage closely woven and sturdy, while implementation must also be strengthened to make constraints more binding. Institutional provisions should be strengthened in line with the practical needs of Party management and governance, making the system tight without being cumbersome, effective and workable, and avoiding the problem of 'keeping a cat in a cattle pen.' Everyone must be equal before rules and institutions, with no privileges in observing them and no exceptions in enforcing them, ensuring that institutional rules truly become live high-voltage lines. Particular attention must be paid to ensuring that 'principal leaders' take the lead in implementing the rules. Members of leadership teams at all levels, especially 'principal leaders,' must set an example and take the lead in fully implementing them, and relevant oversight must also be fully in place.

The article called for resolutely implementing the CPC Central Committee's major decisions and arrangements, demonstrating through concrete action the "Two Upholds"—upholding Xi Jinping's core position and the Central Committee's authority and centralized, unified leadership—and rejecting empty slogans and discrepancies between words and deeds.

The article states that the Party Central Committee's major decisions and plans must be implemented with greater resolve and force. Implementing these decisions and plans is a fundamental requirement for upholding the authority of the Party Central Committee and its centralized, unified leadership, as well as an important historical lesson from the continued development and progress of the cause of the Party and the people. Our emphasis on the 'two upholds' and maintaining a high degree of unity with the Party Central Committee must be reflected in concrete action to implement its major decisions and plans. We must not merely shout empty slogans, still less say one thing and do another. Closely centered on strategic plans such as implementing the new development philosophy, promoting high-quality development and accelerating the creation of a new development pattern, and focusing on tasks such as building a modern industrial system and developing new quality productive forces in light of local conditions, oversight must become more specific, precise and regular. Inspection findings must be put to good use and oversight of rectification strengthened to ensure that all decisions and plans of the fourth plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee are implemented. Resolutely and forcefully implementing the Party Central Committee's major decisions and plans is not at odds with working creatively. Alongside strict oversight, all regions and departments should be supported and encouraged to explore effective methods and approaches for implementing these decisions and plans in light of their actual circumstances, ensuring that the ultimate results accord with the intentions behind the Party Central Committee's decisions and the original purposes of its policies.

The article called for improving institutional rules, strengthening enforcement and binding constraints, and applying regulations and rules equally.

The article called for more specific, targeted and regular oversight focused on development strategies and tasks, making use of inspection findings and strengthening oversight of rectification.

The article called for maintaining intense pressure against corruption, combating it wherever it occurs, and innovating methods to promptly detect, identify and address corruption.

The article states that the fight against corruption must be advanced with greater clearheadedness and resolve. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, our Party has successfully charted a distinctly Chinese path of fighting corruption under the centralized, unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, addressing both symptoms and root causes and advancing in an integrated manner efforts to ensure that officials do not dare to, are unable to and have no desire to engage in corruption. This path must be followed with determination. At present, corruption remains prone to occur and occurs frequently. Facts have once again demonstrated that the Party Central Committee's assessment that 'the situation in the fight against corruption remains grave and complex, and the task of eliminating the soil and conditions that breed corruption remains arduous and demanding' is entirely correct. Fighting corruption is a major struggle that we cannot afford to lose and must never lose; there can be no pause for even a moment and no retreat by even half a step. We must maintain unrelenting pressure, combat every instance of corruption, punish every corrupt official and eradicate wrongdoing completely, leaving corrupt elements nowhere to hide. We must continually improve the penetrating reach of anti-corruption work, grasp new trends and characteristics of corruption, innovate methods and approaches, and further ensure that all types of corruption are discovered promptly, identified accurately and addressed effectively. Greater efforts must be made to advance in an integrated manner measures to ensure that officials do not dare to, are unable to and have no desire to engage in corruption. A systems approach must be strengthened so that efforts are made simultaneously, in the same direction and comprehensively. Anti-corruption mechanisms must be further improved, with coordinated cooperation in task deployment, resource allocation, implementation and evaluation of results. All forms of oversight must be connected, and collaboration across the entire chain must promote integrated governance.

The article stresses that the 15th Five-Year Plan period is a critical period for laying solid foundations and making comprehensive efforts toward basically achieving socialist modernization. To turn the blueprint drawn up at the fourth plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee into reality, it is essential to uphold and strengthen the Party's overall leadership and persistently advance full and rigorous Party self-governance.
