To build the Party in the spirit of reform and innovation, we must thoroughly study and implement Socialism with Chinese characteristics's theoretical system, and strive to arm the whole Party with the latest achievements of Marxism in China. Marxism is the theoretical basis and action guide of our party's construction. "Ancestors cannot be lost" is a historical conclusion and an unshakable principle in the construction of our party. However, the times are developing and the situation is changing, and Marxism must also develop with the development of practice. In the great practice of leading the people of China to explore and build Socialism with Chinese characteristics, the three generations of central collective leadership of the Party gradually formed an open and developed Socialism with Chinese characteristics theory system. This theoretical system systematically and scientifically answers a series of important practical and theoretical questions related to the future and destiny of the party and the country, such as what is Socialism with Chinese characteristics, how to build Socialism with Chinese characteristics, what kind of party is leading Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and how to build this party, which fundamentally guarantees the healthy development of the party and the country. Since the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee, with Comrade Hu Jintao as the general secretary, has led the people of the whole country to continue to build a well-off society in an all-round way and develop Socialism with Chinese characteristics, based on the basic national conditions of the primary stage of socialism in China, profoundly summed up China's development practice, and drew lessons from foreign development experience, and put forward Scientific Outlook on Development and other major strategic ideas. Scientific Outlook on Development is the inheritance and development of the important thoughts of the party's three generations of central leading collective on development, the concentrated embodiment of Marxist world outlook and methodology on development, the scientific theory that is in the same strain as Marxism–Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and Theory of Three Represents and keeps pace with the times, and the latest theoretical achievement in the process of Marxism China, which points out the direction for the party's own construction in the new stage. Therefore, to build the Party in the spirit of reform and innovation, the most important thing is to arm the whole Party with the latest achievement of China-ization of Marxism, enhance the Party's consciousness and firmness in implementing Scientific Outlook on Development, effectively change the ideas that are not suitable for Scientific Outlook on Development, focus on solving outstanding problems that affect and restrict scientific development, guide the enthusiasm and creativity of the whole Party and society to scientific development, and implement Scientific Outlook on Development in all aspects of economic and social development and the Party's own construction.
to build the party in the spirit of reform and innovation, we must focus on strengthening the construction of the party's ruling ability and improving the leadership level and ruling ability of leading bodies at all levels. The construction of the Party's ruling ability is related to the overall situation of the Party's construction and Socialism with Chinese characteristics's cause. Putting the Party's construction focus on the construction of the ruling ability is a profound revelation brought to us by the serious setbacks of the world socialist movement at the turn of the century. It is a summary of the basic experience of China's * * * production party leading the people throughout the country to smoothly promote reform, opening up and socialist modernization since the founding of New China, especially in the past 3 years. It is also a major theoretical and practical achievement made by the CPC Central Committee in upholding and developing Marxism since the 16th National Congress. The great significance of this achievement lies in: profoundly revealing the internal relationship between consolidating the party's ruling position and strengthening the party's ruling ability construction, thus deepening the understanding of the ruling law of the * * * production party and the ruling party construction law. The historical experience of the ruling party in socialist countries shows that the ruling ability of the ruling party is positively related to the ruling achievements and the consolidation of its ruling status. The stronger the ruling ability, the greater the ruling achievement and the more consolidated the ruling position; or vice versa, Dallas to the auditorium This is because the ruling party is the most important promoter and leader of modernization. In this sense, the success of the modernization of socialist countries fundamentally depends on the scale and level of the total capacity of the ruling party. Therefore, to build the Party in the spirit of reform and innovation, we must focus on the construction of the Party's ruling ability, improve the Party's leadership style and ruling style, improve the leadership system, and constantly improve the ability of leading bodies at all levels to control the socialist market economy, develop socialist democratic politics, build advanced socialist culture, build a harmonious socialist society, cope with international situations and international affairs, and lead scientific development. Only in this way can our Party live up to its mission, live up to its great trust, lead the people of the whole country in adhering to and developing the road of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
To build the Party in the spirit of reform and innovation, it is necessary to adapt the Party's construction to the growing democratic will within the Party, actively promote the democratic construction within the Party, and strive to strengthen the unity and unity of the Party. Inner-party democracy is the life of the party, and it is the power source of the party's vitality and vitality. The China * * * Production Party came into being in response to the inherent requirements of the people of China to achieve national independence and strive to be masters of their own affairs. It was established and developed in strict accordance with the democratic spirit and principles of Marxist political parties. Inner-party democracy is not only related to the survival and development of the party itself, but also to the whole revolution and construction under the leadership of the party. Inner-party democracy, as the fundamental system in which party member participates in the inner-party affairs directly or indirectly on an equal footing in the party's life, its essence lies in inspiring, mobilizing and rallying the strength of the whole party, which involves not only the party's organizational construction and system construction, but also the party's work style construction, anti-corruption construction and ideological construction. In the new stage of building a well-off society in an all-round way and adhering to and developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics, on the one hand, party member's awareness of democracy and rights is growing day by day; On the other hand, the new situation and new tasks facing the Party also require the Party to constantly enhance its creativity, cohesion and appeal. This requires stimulating the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of party member and Party cadres as the main body of the Party by developing inner-party democracy. The experience of party building also fully proves that without inner-party democracy, there will be no enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the party's main body; Without the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the party's main body, there will be no creativity, cohesion and appeal of the party, and there will be no vitality and vitality of the party. Inner-party democracy has thus become the motive source of the party's vitality and vitality. Moreover, inner-party democracy plays an important role in demonstrating and driving people's democracy. The cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics led by the Party is the common cause of all the people in China. In the final analysis, the final completion of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Mansion depends on the creativity, enthusiasm and initiative of the people throughout the country. The historical experience of socialist development shows that the creativity, enthusiasm and initiative of the people in building socialism depend to a great extent on the state of people's democracy. Although inner-party democracy is different from people's democracy, and it is not a national democracy, the situation of inner-party democracy has a direct decisive role in the development of people's democracy because the party is the ruling party in charge of state power and directly dominates the development of people's democracy at the level of state system. At the same time, the construction and development of people's democracy as a national form will also promote the development of inner-party democracy of the ruling party. The benign interaction between inner-party democracy and people's democracy has become an important power resource to promote social development and progress in China.
To build the Party in the spirit of reform and innovation, we must constantly deepen the reform of the cadre and personnel system and firmly grasp the key of cultivating high-quality cadres and talents. After the political line is determined, cadres are the decisive factor. The practice of nearly 3 years since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China shows that whether the cause of Socialism with Chinese characteristics can be consolidated and developed, and whether China can remain prosperous in the fierce international competition, the key is whether it can cultivate a group of high-quality cadres and talents. According to the principle of having both ability and political integrity, paying attention to performance and being recognized by the masses, it is the fundamental plan for the long-term stability of the party and the country to build a team of high-quality cadres and talents who can shoulder heavy responsibilities and stand the test of storms, especially to cultivate a group of outstanding leaders who are good at managing the party, the country and the army. If this one is done, you can "sit on a fishing boat regardless of the storm." To carry out the spirit of reform and innovation in the work of building a contingent of high-quality cadres and talents, first, we must adhere to the principle of party management of cadres, adhere to democracy, openness, competition and merit selection, and form a scientific mechanism for selecting and appointing cadres. In particular, it is necessary to standardize the appointment and nomination system for cadres, improve the evaluation system for cadres that reflects the requirements of Scientific Outlook on Development and the correct concept of political achievements, and improve the methods of open selection, competitive appointment and differential election. Second, we should expand democracy in the work of cadres and enhance the scientificity and authenticity of democratic recommendation and democratic evaluation. Strengthen the supervision of the whole process of cadre selection and appointment. Improve the system of tenure, avoidance and exchange of leading cadres, and improve the civil service system. Third, we must adhere to the correct orientation of employing people, select cadres according to the principles of having both ability and political integrity, paying attention to performance and being recognized by the masses, fully implement the masses' right to know, participate, choose and supervise the selection and appointment of cadres, and improve the credibility of selecting and employing people. Fourth, it is necessary to train cadres on a large scale and greatly improve their quality. Adhere to the principle that the Party is in charge of talents, and make overall plans for the construction of talent teams at all levels focusing on high-level talents and highly skilled talents. Innovate the system and mechanism of talent work, stimulate all kinds of talents to create vitality and entrepreneurial enthusiasm, and create a new situation in which talents come forth in large numbers and make the best use of their talents.
To build the Party in the spirit of reform and innovation, it is necessary to comprehensively consolidate and develop the achievements of advanced education activities, earnestly strengthen the Party building at the grassroots level, and do a solid job in the basic project of team building in party member. Advanced nature is the life and strength of Marxist political parties. The advanced nature of the Party is concrete and historical. The Party's advanced nature in the new stage depends on the vanguard and exemplary role of Qian Qian's high-quality party member in developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Without party member's advanced nature, the Party's advanced nature becomes passive water. To maintain and develop the advanced nature of * * * producing party member under the new historical conditions is to urge party member to study and abide by party constitution seriously, enhance party member's consciousness, establish a regular analysis system of party member's party spirit, broaden party member's channels for serving the masses, build a working system for contacting and serving the masses in party member, and improve the long-term mechanism for party member to receive regular education and keep its advanced nature forever, so as to make Party members truly become advanced elements who keep in mind the purpose and care for the masses. Grass-roots organizations of the Party are the organizational basis of the Party's governance. The foundation is not firm, and the ground shakes. Therefore, the party's grass-roots organizations must adapt to the requirements of the new situation and new tasks, constantly improve their cohesion, and make the party's grass-roots organizations become organizers, promoters and practitioners to promote scientific development and social harmony. It is necessary to implement the responsibility system for party building, comprehensively promote the construction of grassroots party organizations in rural areas, enterprises, urban communities and institutions, schools and new social organizations, optimize organizational settings, expand organizational coverage, innovate activities, and give full play to the role of grassroots party organizations in promoting development, serving the masses, rallying people's hearts and promoting harmony. Promote the construction of other grass-roots organizations with the construction of grass-roots organizations of the party.
to build the party in the spirit of reform and innovation, we must fully understand the extreme importance of strengthening and improving the party's work style construction under the new situation and the urgency, complexity, arduousness and long-term nature of the anti-corruption struggle. The party's style of work is related to the party's image, the people's hearts, and the party's life. The biggest political advantage of China's * * * production party is to keep close contact with the masses, and the biggest danger after the party is in power is to be divorced from the masses. We must be soberly aware that after nearly 3 years of reform and development, China's development has stood at a new historical starting point. On the one hand, it reflects the brilliant achievements made by the party leading the people on the road of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics; On the other hand, it also clearly shows that the danger of the party being divorced from the masses has greatly increased than ever before. Moreover, in practice, we also see that there are still some outstanding problems in the Party's ideological style, study style, work style, leadership style and life style of cadres, especially bureaucracy, formalism and negative corruption among some leading cadres in party member, which have seriously damaged the flesh-and-blood ties between the Party and the people, damaged the Party's image and endangered the Party's ruling position. Therefore, an important aspect of insisting on examining ourselves according to the requirements of the development of the times and strengthening and perfecting ourselves with the spirit of reform and innovation is to fully understand the extreme importance of strengthening and improving the party's work style construction under the new situation and the urgency, complexity, arduousness and long-term nature of the anti-corruption struggle, put anti-corruption construction in a more prominent position and take a clear-cut stand against corruption. Adhere to the principle of treating both the symptoms and root causes, comprehensive management, giving equal attention to punishment and prevention, and paying attention to prevention, and solidly promote the construction of a system for punishing and preventing corruption. While resolutely punishing corruption, we will pay more attention to root causes, prevention, system construction, and expand the field of preventing corruption from the source. Comrades of the whole party, especially leading cadres, should stress party spirit, pay attention to conduct, set an example, abide by the party discipline and state laws, and promote the political style with excellent party style to lead the people.
in short, comprehensively strengthening party building with the spirit of reform and innovation is an important conclusion drawn by the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in comprehensively summing up the practice of party building since the reform and opening up, especially since the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, a concrete manifestation of the spirit of the times of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Theory system in the field of party building, and an important principle that party building should adhere to for a long time to come. Practice shows that only by adhering to the spirit of reform and innovation can we explore a new way to solve the new situations and problems in the field of party building in the new stage and put forward effective new methods, thus creating a new situation in party building and promoting the new great project of party building.
