The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s decision on seriously studying, promoting, and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party.
(October 29, 2022)
In order to deeply study, promote, and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party, unify the thoughts of the entire Party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country around the spirit of the 20th National Congress, and gather strength to accomplish the tasks determined by the 20th National Congress, the following decision is made.
1. Fully recognize the significant importance of studying, promoting, and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress.
The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held in Beijing from October 16 to 22. This was a very important congress convened at a critical moment when the entire Party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country are embarking on a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country and marching towards the second centenary goal. It was a congress that raised the banner, gathered strength, and united to advance. The congress upheld the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, adhered to Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of the "Three Represents," and the Scientific Outlook on Development, comprehensively implemented Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, analyzed the international and domestic situation, proposed the theme of the 20th National Congress, reviewed and summarized the work of the past five years and the great changes of the past ten years in the new era, and elaborated on major issues such as opening up new horizons for the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, the characteristics and essential requirements of Chinese-style modernization, and made strategic plans for comprehensively building a modern socialist country and advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The congress approved the report "Upholding the Great Banner of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics and Uniting to Build a Modern Socialist Country" made by Comrade Xi Jinping on behalf of the 19th Central Committee, approved the work report of the 19th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, reviewed and passed the "Amendment to the Constitution of the Communist Party of China," and elected a new Central Committee and Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Comrade Xi Jinping's report profoundly expounded a series of major theoretical and practical issues regarding adhering to and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, outlined a grand blueprint for comprehensively building a modern socialist country and advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, pointed out the direction for the development of the Party and the country in the new era and new journey, and established an action guide to achieve the second centenary goal. It is a crystallization of the wisdom of the Party and the people, a political declaration and action program for the Party to unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups in the country to achieve new victories in socialism with Chinese characteristics, and a programmatic document of Marxism. The "Amendment to the Constitution of the Communist Party of China" reflects the achievements of the Party's theoretical innovation, practical innovation, and institutional innovation since the 19th National Congress, and embodies the important thoughts, important viewpoints, major strategies, and major measures determined in the report of the 20th National Congress, putting forward clear requirements for adhering to and strengthening the Party's overall leadership, unswervingly advancing comprehensive and strict governance of the Party, adhering to and improving Party building, and promoting the Party's self-revolution.
The first plenary session of the 20th Central Committee elected a new central leadership collective with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, and a group of experienced, virtuous, and energetic comrades entered the central leadership institutions, fully demonstrating the vigorous and vibrant development of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
Studying, promoting, and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress is the primary political task of the entire Party and the nation at present and for a period to come. It concerns the continuity of the Party and the country's cause, the future and destiny of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. It is of great practical significance and far-reaching historical significance for mobilizing the entire Party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country to unite more closely around the Central Committee of the Party with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, uphold the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, strengthen confidence in the path, theory, system, and culture, and unite to strive for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country and the comprehensive advancement of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
2. Comprehensively and accurately study and understand the spirit of the 20th National Congress.
To study and understand the spirit of the 20th National Congress, it is necessary to adhere to comprehensiveness and accuracy, deeply understand the connotation, and accurately grasp the extension. We must study the report of the 20th National Congress and the Party Constitution word for word, and study the important speech spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping at the first plenary session of the 20th Central Committee, focusing on the following aspects.
1. Deeply understand the theme of the 20th National Congress. Upholding the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, comprehensively implementing Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, promoting the great spirit of Party building, being self-confident and self-reliant, maintaining integrity and innovation, striving forward with determination, and uniting to strive for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country and the comprehensive advancement of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. This is the theme of the 20th National Congress, which clearly states the major issues of what flag the Party will raise, what path it will take, what spirit it will maintain, and what goals it will continue to pursue on the new journey. Upholding the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics and comprehensively implementing Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era is a solemn declaration that the entire Party must adhere to the latest achievements of the sinicization and modernization of Marxism as guidance, firmly uphold confidence in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics, maintain consistency in purpose and direction, and ensure that the Party and the country's cause always advances victoriously in the correct direction. Promoting the great spirit of Party building is a solemn declaration that the entire Party must adhere to the great spirit of Party building, maintain the close ties between the Party and the people, uphold the political character of humility, caution, hard work, and the will to fight and win, ensuring that the Party always becomes the strong leadership core of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Being self-confident and self-reliant, maintaining integrity and innovation, striving forward with determination, and uniting to strive for the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country and the comprehensive advancement of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is a solemn declaration that the entire Party must maintain a spirit of confidence and courage, a work attitude of determination and willingness to change, and a fighting posture of never being complacent and striving for progress, making all work better reflect the times, grasp the laws, and be rich in creativity. Uniting to strive is a solemn declaration that we must continuously consolidate the great unity of the entire Party and the people of all ethnic groups in the country, strengthen the great unity of the Chinese people at home and abroad, and form a strong synergy to realize the Chinese Dream.
2. Deeply understand the work of the past five years and the great changes of the past ten years in the new era. The past five years since the 19th National Congress have been extraordinary and remarkable. Over the past five years, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, has upheld the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, comprehensively implemented the spirit of the 19th National Congress and the previous plenary sessions, united and led the entire Party, the armed forces, and the people of all ethnic groups, coordinated the great struggles, great projects, great causes, and great dreams, effectively responded to the severe and complex international situation and the enormous risks and challenges that followed, and with a spirit of vigor and determination, continuously advanced socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, overcoming many long-standing problems, accomplishing many significant tasks related to the long-term, and achieving remarkable achievements that have attracted worldwide attention. In the ten years since the 18th National Congress, we have experienced three major events of significant practical and far-reaching historical significance for the Party and the people's cause: first, the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China; second, socialism with Chinese characteristics entering a new era; and third, the completion of the historical task of poverty alleviation and the establishment of a moderately prosperous society in all respects, achieving the first centenary goal. This is a historic victory won by the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people through unity and struggle, a historic victory that shines in the annals of the development of the Chinese nation, and a historic victory with far-reaching implications for the world. Over the past ten years, we have comprehensively implemented the Party's basic theory, basic line, and basic strategy, adopted a series of strategic measures, promoted a series of transformative practices, achieved a series of breakthrough progress, and obtained a series of landmark results, withstanding the tests of risks and challenges from politics, economy, ideology, and nature, achieving historic achievements and changes in the Party and the country's cause, and pushing our country onto a new journey of comprehensively building a modern socialist country. The great changes of the past ten years in the new era are of milestone significance in the history of the Party, the history of New China, the history of reform and opening up, the history of socialist development, and the history of the development of the Chinese nation.
The great changes of the past decade in the new era have been achieved under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, and guided by Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, through the united efforts of the entire Party and the people of all ethnic groups across the country. The Party has established Comrade Xi Jinping's core position in the Party Central Committee and the Party as a whole, and has established the guiding position of Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, reflecting the common aspirations of the entire Party, the armed forces, and the people of all ethnic groups in the country. This has decisive significance for the development of the Party and the country's cause in the new era, and for advancing the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The "two establishments" are major political achievements of the Party in the new era and are decisive factors in promoting the Party and the country's historic achievements and changes. The entire Party must deeply understand the decisive significance of the "two establishments," consciously uphold General Secretary Xi Jinping's core position in the Party Central Committee and the Party as a whole, and consciously maintain the authority and centralized unified leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, fully implement Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and resolutely maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core in terms of ideology, politics, and actions.
3. Deeply understand the new realm of the sinicization and modernization of Marxism. Marxism is the fundamental guiding ideology for our Party and country. Practice tells us why the Communist Party of China can succeed and why socialism with Chinese characteristics is good; ultimately, it is because Marxism works, and sinicized and modernized Marxism works. Since the 18th National Congress of the Party, new changes in domestic and international situations and new practical requirements urgently require us to deeply answer a series of major contemporary issues related to the development of the Party and the country, and the governance of the country by the Party, from the combination of theory and practice. Our Party dares to explore and innovate in theory, deepening the understanding of the laws of Communist Party governance, the laws of socialist construction, and the laws of human social development with a new perspective, achieving significant theoretical innovations, which are concentrated in Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. The "ten clarifications," "fourteen persistences," and "thirteen achievements" proposed at the 19th National Congress and the sixth plenary session of the 19th Central Committee summarize the main content of this thought, which must be adhered to and continuously enriched and developed over the long term. Only by combining the basic principles of Marxism with China's specific realities and with the excellent traditional culture of China, and by adhering to and applying dialectical materialism and historical materialism, can we correctly answer the major questions posed by the times and practice, and can we always maintain the vigorous vitality and strong vitality of Marxism. Continuously writing new chapters of the sinicization and modernization of Marxism is the solemn historical responsibility of contemporary Chinese Communists. To continue promoting theoretical innovation based on practice, we must first grasp the worldview and methodology of Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, adhere to and effectively apply the positions, viewpoints, and methods that run through it, and earnestly uphold the people-centered approach, self-confidence and self-reliance, adherence to integrity and innovation, problem-oriented thinking, systematic thinking, and a global perspective, continuously opening up new realms of the sinicization and modernization of Marxism in the great practice of the new era.
4. Deeply understand the mission and tasks of the Communist Party of China in the new era and new journey. From now on, the central task of the Communist Party of China is to unite and lead the people of all ethnic groups across the country to comprehensively build a modern socialist country and achieve the second centenary goal, advancing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through Chinese-style modernization. The 20th National Congress of the Party provided a macro outlook on the two-step strategic arrangement for comprehensively building a modern socialist country, focusing on the strategic tasks and major measures for the next five years. This is a great and arduous undertaking, with a bright future but a long way to go. Currently, our country's development has entered a period where strategic opportunities coexist with risks and challenges, and the number of uncertain and unpredictable factors is increasing, with various "black swan" and "gray rhino" events potentially occurring at any time. We must enhance our awareness of potential dangers, adhere to bottom-line thinking, be prepared for crises in times of peace, and prepare to withstand significant tests of high winds and waves, even turbulent storms. On the road ahead, we must uphold and strengthen the Party's overall leadership, adhere to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, adhere to the people-centered development philosophy, deepen reform and opening up, and promote the spirit of struggle, avoiding both the closed and rigid old path and the evil path of changing flags and banners. We must place the development of the country and the nation on the basis of our own strength, firmly grasp the fate of China's development and progress in our own hands, and continuously achieve new victories in the comprehensive construction of a modern socialist country. The entire Party must remember that adhering to the Party's overall leadership is the only way to uphold and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics, that socialism with Chinese characteristics is the only way to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, that unity and struggle are the only way for the Chinese people to create historical achievements, that implementing the new development concept is the only way for our country's development and growth in the new era, and that strict governance of the Party is the only way for the Party to maintain its vitality and walk well on the new road of examination. This is a crucial understanding derived from our long-term practice, which must be cherished and adhered to, firmly grasping the green mountains without letting go, leading and ensuring that the great wheel of socialism with Chinese characteristics sails smoothly and far.
5. Deeply understand the characteristics and essential requirements of Chinese-style modernization. Based on the long-term exploration and practice since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, and after the theoretical and practical innovations and breakthroughs since the 18th National Congress of the Party, our Party has successfully promoted and expanded Chinese-style modernization. Chinese-style modernization is socialist modernization led by the Communist Party of China, which has common characteristics with the modernization of other countries, but also has its own characteristics based on its national conditions. The 20th National Congress summarized the characteristics of Chinese-style modernization: it is modernization with a large population, modernization for common prosperity for all people, modernization that coordinates material and spiritual civilization, modernization that harmonizes the relationship between humans and nature, and modernization that follows the path of peaceful development. The 20th National Congress scientifically summarized the essential requirements of Chinese-style modernization: adhere to the leadership of the Communist Party of China, adhere to socialism with Chinese characteristics, achieve high-quality development, develop whole-process people's democracy, enrich the spiritual world of the people, achieve common prosperity for all people, promote harmony between humans and nature, build a community with a shared future for mankind, and create a new form of human civilization. This summary is the Party's profound summary of the historical experience of modernization construction in our country and other countries in the world, and it is the crystallization of thought and theory formed by continuously deepening understanding, maturing strategies, and enriching practices on how a large Eastern country like ours can accelerate modernization. We must deeply understand and systematically grasp this, especially implementing these essential requirements in all our work.
6. Deeply understand the major deployments in socialist economic construction, political construction, cultural construction, social construction, and ecological civilization construction. In economic construction, we must fully, accurately, and comprehensively implement the new development concept, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, focus on promoting high-quality development, build a high-level socialist market economic system, establish a modern industrial system, comprehensively promote rural revitalization, promote coordinated regional development, advance high-level opening up, and push for effective qualitative improvement and reasonable quantitative growth of the economy. In political construction, we must develop whole-process people's democracy, strengthen the institutional guarantee for the people to be the masters of the country, comprehensively develop consultative democracy, actively develop grassroots democracy, and consolidate and develop the broadest patriotic united front. In cultural construction, we must promote cultural self-confidence and self-reliance, build a strong socialist cultural country, establish a socialist ideology with strong cohesion and leadership, widely practice socialist core values, improve the civilization level of the whole society, prosper and develop cultural undertakings and industries, enhance the influence of Chinese civilization, and create new brilliance in socialist culture. In social construction, we must ensure and improve people's livelihoods in development, solidly promote common prosperity, improve the distribution system, implement a priority employment strategy, improve the social security system, promote the construction of a healthy China, and continuously realize people's aspirations for a better life. In ecological civilization construction, we must promote the construction of a beautiful China, accelerate the green transformation of development methods, deepen the prevention and control of environmental pollution, enhance the diversity, stability, and sustainability of ecosystems, actively and steadily promote carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, and promote harmony between humans and nature.
7. Deeply understand the major deployments in education, technology, talent, rule of law construction, and national security. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China grasped the major trends in domestic and international development, highlighting the support of education, technology, and talent, the guarantee of the rule of law, and the work of national security in the development layout of the Party and the country. In terms of education, technology, and talent, we must adhere to the priority development of education, self-reliance and self-improvement in technology, and talent-driven leadership, accelerate the construction of a strong educational country, a strong technological country, and a strong talent country, provide education that satisfies the people, improve the technological innovation system, accelerate the implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy, deeply implement the strategy of strengthening the country with talent, and continuously shape new momentum and new advantages for development. In terms of rule of law construction, we must adhere to the comprehensive rule of law, follow the path of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics, build a socialist rule of law system with Chinese characteristics, establish a socialist rule of law country, improve the legal system with the Constitution at its core, solidly promote the rule of law in administration, ensure strict and fair justice, accelerate the construction of a rule of law society, and advance the construction of a rule of law China. In terms of national security, we must unswervingly implement the overall national security concept, improve the national security system, enhance the ability to maintain national security, improve public safety governance, and perfect the social governance system, resolutely safeguard national security and social stability.
8. Deeply understand the major deployments in national defense and military construction, work related to Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, and diplomatic work. In national defense and military construction, we must implement Xi Jinping's thought on strengthening the military, adhere to the military strategy guidelines of the new era, uphold the absolute leadership of the Party over the people's army, comprehensively strengthen the Party's construction in the people's army, comprehensively enhance military training and preparedness, and comprehensively strengthen military governance, consolidate and improve the integrated national strategic system and capabilities, achieve the goal of building the army in one hundred years on schedule, and accelerate the establishment of a world-class military. In the work related to Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, we must adhere to and improve the "one country, two systems" institutional system, implement the central government's comprehensive governance authority, uphold the principles of "patriots governing Hong Kong" and "patriots governing Macao," implement the legal system and enforcement mechanisms for maintaining national security in the special administrative regions, support Hong Kong and Macao in developing their economies, improving people's livelihoods, and resolving deep-seated contradictions and problems in economic and social development, and develop and strengthen the patriotic forces that love Hong Kong and Macao; adhere to the overall strategy of the Party in solving the Taiwan issue in the new era, firmly grasp the dominant and proactive power in cross-strait relations, uphold the one-China principle and the "1992 Consensus," unite the vast number of Taiwan compatriots to jointly promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and advance the peaceful reunification of the motherland, and firmly oppose "independence" and promote unification. In diplomatic work, we must always adhere to the diplomatic policy of maintaining world peace and promoting common development, commit to building a community with a shared future for mankind, firmly pursue an independent and peaceful diplomatic policy, adhere to developing friendly cooperation with all countries based on the five principles of peaceful coexistence, uphold the basic national policy of opening up, actively participate in the reform and construction of the global governance system, and promote the common values of all humanity.
9. Deeply understand the major deployments of upholding the Party's overall leadership and strict governance of the Party. The key to building a modern socialist country in an all-round way and promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation lies in the Party. As the largest Marxist ruling party in the world, our Party must always win the support of the people and consolidate its long-term ruling position, and must always maintain a clear and firm resolve to solve the unique problems of a large party. Since the 18th National Congress of the Party, through strict governance of the Party, we have solved many prominent problems within the Party, but the tests of governance, reform and opening up, market economy, and external environment that the Party faces will exist for a long time. The dangers of spiritual slackness, insufficient capability, detachment from the masses, and negative corruption will also exist for a long time. The whole Party must remember that strict governance of the Party is always on the way, and the Party's self-revolution is always on the way. We must never have the mentality of easing up, resting, or fatigue and war-weariness. We must persistently promote strict governance of the Party in an all-round way, deeply advance the new great project of Party building in the new era, and lead social revolution with the Party's self-revolution. We must implement the overall requirements for Party building in the new era, improve the system of strict governance of the Party, uphold and strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, persistently use Xi Jinping's thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era to unify and forge the soul, improve the system and norms for the Party's self-revolution, build a high-quality cadre team capable of shouldering the responsibility of national rejuvenation, enhance the political and organizational functions of Party organizations, and strengthen the tone of strictness to reinforce the positive atmosphere and discipline. We must resolutely win the tough and protracted battle against corruption, comprehensively promote the Party's self-purification, self-improvement, self-revolution, and self-enhancement, so that our Party remains true to its original mission and always becomes the strong leadership core of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
3. Seriously carry out the study and publicity of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party.
Studying and publicizing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party should be both comprehensive and systematic, while also highlighting key points and grasping the essentials. The focus should be on the fact that General Secretary Xi Jinping is the core of the Party Central Committee and the core of the whole Party, and that Xi Jinping's thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era is the guiding ideology that the Party must adhere to for a long time; focus on the major achievements since the 19th National Congress of the Party and the great changes in the past decade; focus on grasping the worldview and methodology of the latest achievements in the sinicization and modernization of Marxism, and on adhering to and applying the positions, viewpoints, and methods that run through it; focus on the theoretical and practical innovations and breakthroughs of Chinese-style modernization; focus on implementing the major decisions and deployments made by the 20th National Congress of the Party; focus on the new central leadership collective with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, which is deeply supported and trusted by the whole Party and the people of all ethnic groups across the country; and focus on General Secretary Xi Jinping as the Party's leader who is supported by the whole Party and loved by the people, and is undoubtedly the rightful leader of the Party.
1. Effectively carry out learning and training. Closely combine with the thematic education that the Party Central Committee will soon carry out throughout the Party, conduct multi-form, hierarchical, and comprehensive training for all Party members, and organize the majority of Party members and cadres to earnestly study the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party. The Party Central Committee will hold a seminar for new members and alternate members of the Central Committee to study and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party. The theoretical learning center group of Party committees (Party leadership groups) at all levels should take studying the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party as a key content, formulate a systematic learning plan, and list topics for discussion. All regions and departments should hold training classes and study sessions, concentrating for a period of time to provide centralized training for Party leaders at the county level and above nationwide, and conduct systematic training for Party members and cadres in phases and batches. Grassroots Party organizations should adopt various forms to organize the majority of Party members and cadres to earnestly study the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party. Studying the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party should be a compulsory course in Party schools (administrative colleges) and cadre colleges, and an important content of ideological and political education and classroom teaching in schools. We should organize the revision of relevant teaching materials to promote the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party into teaching materials, classrooms, and minds. In the learning and training process, we should make good use of the "Guided Reading of the Report of the 20th National Congress of the Party" and "Hundred Questions on the Study of the Report of the 20th National Congress of the Party" and other guiding materials.
2. Concentrate on carrying out publicity activities. From now until early next year, we will carry out concentrated publicity activities for the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party nationwide. The Party Central Committee will organize a central publicity group to study and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party, which will go to various provinces, regions, and municipalities to carry out publicity. Localities should refer to this practice, select key personnel to form publicity groups, and go deep into enterprises, rural areas, government agencies, campuses, and communities to carry out publicity. We must insist on leading by example, with members of the Central Political Bureau and the main responsible comrades of various provinces, regions, and central departments personally conducting publicity in their respective places and fields, and leading the majority of Party members, cadres, and the masses to learn through practical actions. We should carry out publicity work aimed at non-Party members to enhance their understanding and recognition of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party. We must focus on enhancing the persuasiveness, affinity, relevance, and effectiveness of the publicity, closely connect with the thoughts and work realities of the majority of Party members, cadres, and the masses, clearly and thoroughly explain the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Party, so that the common people can understand, comprehend, and implement it.
3. Carefully organize news publicity. Party newspapers, party publications, radio stations, and television stations at all levels should carefully plan and focus on reporting, vigorously promoting the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party, publicizing the enthusiastic response and positive evaluations from the entire party and society towards the 20th National Congress, and showcasing the specific measures and actions taken by various regions and departments to study and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress. Various forms and means of publicity should be fully utilized, adopting formats that are popular with the masses, making the publicity and reporting more grounded and moving, guiding the vast number of party members, cadres, and the masses to strengthen their confidence, unite as one, work hard, and forge ahead. Active online publicity should be carried out, treating online communication platforms as an important position for promoting the spirit of the 20th National Congress, adhering to segmentation, differentiation, and precision, setting up online special columns, producing new media products, conducting online interviews and interactions, showcasing a new appearance and new achievements in online publicity, and promoting the formation of a strong positive public opinion online. Careful organization of external publicity should be conducted, using multiple channels to promote the spirit of the 20th National Congress, publicizing major measures taken by our country to promote economic and social development, fully reflecting the positive evaluations from the international community, and vividly displaying the good image of our party and country.
4. Deepen research and interpretation. Centering on the spirit of the 20th National Congress, a number of major research topics should be identified, and experts and scholars should be organized to conduct in-depth research and write and publish a series of substantial theoretical articles. A series of theoretical seminars should be organized to exchange research results and deepen ideological understanding. Major central media should write and publish related articles from different perspectives through authoritative interviews and special columns, analyzing the background, extracting key points, and further extending the depth and breadth of interpretation, with major theoretical sections and special publications in provincial, regional, and municipal newspapers synchronously opening related columns. For hot issues of concern to the vast number of party members, cadres, and the masses, various media should actively invite responsible comrades from relevant departments for in-depth interpretation, strengthen positive guidance, and respond to concerns. For any vague understandings and erroneous viewpoints that may arise in the field of ideological theory, experts and scholars should be organized to write key theoretical articles and short commentaries, clarifying and distinguishing them in a timely manner.
4. Adhere to the unity of knowledge and action, and effectively implement the major decisions and deployments made by the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party.
Learning, promoting, and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress should be based on the actual situation of our country's reform and development and party building, adhering to the integration of learning, thinking, and application, and the unity of knowledge, faith, and action, implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress in all aspects of economic and social development, and reflecting it in the work of this year and the arrangements for future work.
1. Firmly achieve the "two safeguards." Learning, promoting, and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress should promote the entire party to deeply understand the decisive significance of the "two establishments," enhance the "four consciousnesses," strengthen the "four confidences," and achieve the "two safeguards," practicing loyalty to the party through practical actions. The system of party leadership that oversees the overall situation and coordinates all parties should be improved, and the mechanism for implementing major decisions and deployments of the Central Committee should be perfected, ensuring that the entire party maintains a high degree of consistency with the Central Committee in political stance, political direction, political principles, and political path, ensuring the unity and solidarity of the party. The political construction of the party should be strengthened, political discipline and political rules should be strictly enforced, and the main responsibility of party committees (party groups) at all levels should be implemented, improving the political judgment, political understanding, and political execution capabilities of party organizations and party members at all levels.
2. Effectively promote reform, development, and stability. The spirit of the 20th National Congress should be transformed into a powerful force for guiding practice and promoting work, coordinating the overall layout of the "five in one" and advancing the strategic layout of the "four comprehensives," focusing on solving the problems of unbalanced and insufficient development, and working hard to address shortcomings, strengthen weaknesses, solidify the foundation, and leverage advantages, promoting sustained and healthy economic and social development. Development should be insisted upon to guarantee and improve people's livelihoods, effectively addressing the urgent and difficult issues that the masses are concerned about, improving the social governance system, smoothing and standardizing the channels for expressing public demands, coordinating interests, and protecting rights, and resolving conflicts and disputes at the grassroots level and in their nascent state in a timely manner. The work of preventing and controlling the COVID-19 pandemic should be effectively carried out, implementing the clear requirements of the Central Committee that "the pandemic must be prevented, the economy must be stabilized, and development must be safe," resolutely building a solid barrier against the pandemic, and maximizing the protection of people's lives and health.
3. Prevent and resolve risks and challenges. Currently, the world is undergoing unprecedented changes not seen in a century, with changes in the world, the era, and history unfolding in unprecedented ways, presenting a series of new topics and challenges for our country's modernization construction, directly testing our fighting courage, strategic capability, and response level. We must maintain a state of mind and sense of responsibility that is always vigilant, always be prepared for the worst-case scenario, not believe in evil, not fear ghosts, not fear oppression, face difficulties head-on, and coordinate development and security, striving to overcome various difficulties and challenges on the road ahead. We must strengthen the cultivation of fighting spirit and fighting ability, focus on enhancing the ability to prevent risks, meet challenges, and resist oppression, proactively identify changes, adapt to changes, and seek changes, actively prevent and resolve risks, and rely on tenacious struggle to open up new horizons for career development.
4. Firmly and unwaveringly enforce strict governance of the party. We must promote the in-depth development of strict governance of the party, maintain strategic determination, and always keep the string of strictness taut, continuously addressing the prominent contradictions and deep-seated problems within the party. We must comprehensively strengthen the ideological construction of the party, adhere to using Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era to unify thoughts, wills, and actions, organize and implement the party's innovative theoretical learning and education plan, and build a Marxist learning-oriented party. We must adhere to the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, establish a strong mass perspective, implement the mass line, respect the people's spirit of innovation, and always do everything for the people and rely on the people, maintaining a close bond with the masses, always accepting criticism and supervision from the people, and always sharing the same breath, fate, and heart with the people. We must strengthen practical training and professional training, focusing on tempering cadres in major struggles, enhancing their ability to promote high-quality development, serve the masses, and prevent and resolve risks, firmly grasping the initiative in work.
5. Effectively strengthen organizational leadership.
Learning, promoting, and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress is the primary political task for the entire party and the country at present and in the future. Party committees (party groups) at all levels should place learning, promoting, and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress on the important agenda and effectively strengthen organizational leadership.
1. Effectively assume leadership responsibility. Party committees (party groups) at all levels should raise their political stance, make special deployments according to the Central Committee's arrangements, combine them with the actual situation of their regions and departments, put forward specific requirements, focus on implementation, and quickly create a wave of learning, promoting, and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress. Various organizations, publicity departments, and other relevant departments should closely cooperate under the unified leadership of the party committee (party group). The organization department should integrate the learning, promoting, and implementing of the spirit of the 20th National Congress with cadre education and training, strengthening the construction of leadership teams and grassroots party organizations. The publicity department should solidly carry out the publicity work of the spirit of the 20th National Congress, creating a strong atmosphere for learning and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress. Trade unions, the Communist Youth League, women's federations, and other mass organizations should fully leverage their own advantages to carry out distinctive learning and education activities. Work guidance should be strengthened, supervision and inspection should be enhanced, and problems should be discovered and resolved in a timely manner.
2. Firmly grasp the correct orientation. We must adhere to the main theme of unity, stability, and encouragement, with positive publicity as the main focus, promote the main melody, spread positive energy, consolidate and expand mainstream ideological public opinion, and focus on unifying thoughts and gathering strength with the spirit of the 20th National Congress. Publicity should be conducted comprehensively and accurately according to the spirit of the Central Committee, ensuring the right direction and firmly grasping the leading power and discourse power of publicity and guidance. We must strengthen the interpretation and guidance of hot and sensitive issues, being comprehensive, objective, rigorous, and prudent, clarifying doubts, guiding emotions, and maximizing the gathering of social consensus. The responsibility system for ideological work should be implemented, following the principle of "whoever is in charge is responsible" and local management, effectively strengthening the management of various publicity and cultural positions, and preventing the spread of erroneous thoughts, statements, and harmful information.
3. Focus on improving actual results. We must adhere to being close to reality and respecting the laws, closely connecting with the new expectations of the broad masses of party members, cadres, and the public, and strive to enhance the attractiveness, influence, and effectiveness of learning, promoting, and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party. We need to innovate forms and carriers, enrich methods and means, and be good at using ways that the masses are willing and able to participate in, adopting methods that are rich in contemporary characteristics and reflect practical requirements, making efforts to expand both breadth and depth, ensuring that learning and promotion are not only systematic and impactful but also focus more on quality and effectiveness. We should fully utilize new technologies and applications, strengthen interactive communication and immersive experiences, and strive to expand the coverage and influence of our work, allowing positive energy to generate significant flow.
All regions and departments should promptly report to the Central Committee of the Communist Party the situation regarding the learning, promotion, and implementation of the spirit of the 20th National Congress.
