"We must never turn back, relax or be merciful in the fight against corruption. We must always blow the charge."

On January 8, the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection was held. Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, used three "cannot" to explain the CCP's sobriety and firmness in administering the party strictly.

The "sober" here has an urgent realistic background.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Communist Party of China has comprehensively and strictly governed the party with the trend of "offend thousands of people and not -1.4 billion", and the intensity of eliminating diseases and chaos has been unprecedented.

The plenary session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection held at the beginning of each year is an important window for the outside world to observe the new trend of China's anti-corruption.

At the plenary session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Xi Jinping concluded that "after ten years of unremitting and strong anti-corruption efforts in the new era, the anti-corruption struggle has won an overwhelming victory and has been comprehensively consolidated, but the situation is still grim and complex".

Indeed, in 2023, for example, more than 40 central management cadres were announced to be examined and investigated, and about 30 central management cadres were announced to be punished. On the one hand, it shows that the high-pressure situation of anti-corruption "always blowing the charge" is unabated, on the other hand, it also reflects that the current anti-corruption situation is still grim and complex.

In response to the current anti-corruption situation, Xi Jinping mentioned two "sober understandings": a clear understanding of the new situation and new trends in the anti-corruption struggle; a clear understanding of the soil and conditions of corruption.

The former suggests a change in the external environment of anti-corruption, while the latter points out the underlying problems of corruption.

What is "firm"? This is mainly reflected in what to do next.

At the plenary session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Xi Jinping systematically analyzed the path and method of winning the anti-corruption struggle and protracted war under the new situation. Among them, there are both "Tao" interpretation and "policy" deployment.

"Tao" is to further promote the party's self revolution. He used the "Nine Yes" to list in detail nine issues that need to be grasped in the current practice of promoting the party's self-revolution:

-- taking the adherence to the centralized and unified leadership of the party central committee as the fundamental guarantee,

-- with the fundamental purpose of leading the great social revolution,

-Taking the thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era as the fundamental guideline,

-- With the strategic goal of jumping out of the historical cycle rate,

-- To solve the problems unique to the major parties as the main direction of attack,

-- taking a sound system of comprehensively and strictly administering the party as an effective way,

-- To forge a strong organization and build a strong team as an important focus,

-- taking righteousness, discipline, and anti-corruption as an important starting point,

-- taking the combination of self-supervision and people's supervision as a powerful driving force.

"Policy" is the strategic deployment of continuous efforts to promote the fight against corruption in depth.

"Let the recurring old problems gradually decrease, make it difficult for new problems to spread, and promote the normalization and long-term prevention and control of corruption."

For example, he emphasized a top priority: to severely punish the corruption of political and business collusion as the top priority of the battle, resolutely crack down on the profit-seeking behavior of capital based on power, and resolutely prevent various interest groups and powerful groups from infiltrating the political field;

Several key areas were listed: deepening the crackdown on corruption in areas such as finance, state-owned enterprises, energy, medicine and infrastructure projects that are concentrated in power, capital-intensive and resource-rich, and clearing up hidden risks;

Mentioned several types of key groups: "improve and strengthen the 'top leaders' and leadership team supervision system" "seriously investigate and deal with those who always pull cadres into the water, endangering one side of the bribe" "resolutely prevent the establishment of 'small circle', 'worship the dock', 'build antenna', a strong crackdown on all kinds of political swindlers";

　　……

The courage to self-revolution is a distinctive sign that distinguishes the CCP from other political parties.

In the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping emphasized that the party has found the second answer to the self-revolution, which is the second answer to the historical cycle of the rise and fall of chaos, and also proposed to improve the party's self-revolution system.

At the plenary session of the Central Commission for discipline Inspection, Xi Jinping profoundly expounded the important thinking of the party's self-revolution, with special emphasis on the practical requirements of the "nine.

As a large party with more than 9800 million party members and a long-term ruling party in a country with a large population of more than 1.4 billion, this soberness and firmness in continuously promoting the party's self-revolution is not only a summary of the experience of looking back at the time, but also a summary of the road to the exam again. The determination to show.
