Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, February 15 -- The fourth issue of Qiushi Journal, to be published on February 16, will feature an important article by Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), President of the People's Republic of China, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, entitled "Improving the System for Full and Strict Governance of the Party."

The article points out that since the 18th CPC National Congress, we have unswervingly advanced full and strict governance of the Party, achieving a series of theoretical, practical, and institutional innovations, building a system for full and strict governance of the Party, and opening up a new realm for the self-revolution of a century-old Party. At the same time, it is also necessary to recognize that prominent problems such as impure ideology, organization, and style within the Party have not been fundamentally resolved, the situation in the anti-corruption struggle remains severe and complex, and new situations and problems continue to emerge. The "four tests" and "four dangers" facing the Party will exist for a long time. Full and strict governance of the Party is a long-term undertaking, and the Party's self-revolution is also a long-term undertaking. The entire Party must always maintain the clarity and determination of those taking an exam, using the improvement of the system for full and strict governance of the Party as an effective approach to continuously advance the new great project of Party building in the new era.

The article emphasizes that Party building in the new era is a systematic project that takes the Party's political construction as the overall leader and the concerted efforts of all aspects of Party construction. It must adhere to and strengthen the Party's overall leadership and the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, implement the general requirements for Party building in the new era, and use systematic thinking and scientific methods to promote full coverage of the content, objects, responsibilities, and systems of governing the Party, further improving a comprehensive and strict system for governing the Party that is complete in its elements, fully functional, scientifically standardized, and highly efficient.

The article makes deployments on improving the system for full and strict governance of the Party from five aspects. First, improve the organization system that is interconnected from top to bottom and effectively enforced. The Party's leadership and various tasks of governing the Party must be implemented. The central, local, and grassroots organizations of the Party must be strong, powerful, and smoothly operating. Only when the Party's organizational system is strengthened, and the political and organizational functions of the Party's organizations at all levels are fully brought into play, can full and strict governance of the Party continue to advance in depth. Strengthening the Party's organizational system hinges on upholding the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, and fundamentally lies in upholding the "two safeguards." Second, improve the education system that strengthens the foundation and unites hearts and minds. Mastering scientific theories and strengthening ideological foundations are essential for full and strict governance of the Party. It is necessary to grasp ideological construction as the foundation, persistently promote the study of the Party's innovative theories, and persistently strengthen Party spirit education, guiding Party members and cadres to transform the strategic guidelines for full and strict governance of the Party into conscious actions. Third, improve the supervision system that is precisely targeted and addresses both symptoms and root causes. Advancing full and strict governance of the Party hinges on genuine management and strict enforcement, and requires precise treatment. It is necessary to closely monitor and analyze and assess the new trends in the Party's situation and style, adhere to addressing problems and root causes, addressing both symptoms and root causes, and improving the precision and effectiveness of governing the Party. Fourth, improve the scientific, complete, and effective institutional system. The political nature and principles of full and strict governance of the Party require a scientific and complete set of rules and regulations. Institutional construction must adapt to the needs of governing the Party and be compatible with all aspects of Party construction, weaving a comprehensive institutional cage. At the same time, it is also necessary to prevent institutions from becoming overly cumbersome and falling into "institutional traps." It is necessary to strengthen systematic integration, making various systems an organic whole. Fifth, improve the responsibility system with clear subjects and requirements. Full and strict governance of the Party is the common responsibility of the entire Party, and it is necessary to establish and improve a tiered and classified responsibility system to promote Party organizations and Party members and cadres at all levels to understand, assume, and fulfill their responsibilities through clear and solid responsibilities.

The article points out that in order to improve the system for full and strict governance of the Party and to advance full and strict governance of the Party in depth, the comrades of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee must lead by example, be strict with themselves, strictly bear their responsibilities, and strictly manage those under their jurisdiction, uniting and leading the entire Party to govern and strengthen the Party, and providing strong guarantees for comprehensively advancing the great cause of national rejuvenation through Chinese-style modernization.
