Do not forget your initiative mind, keep moving! The new CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core will lead China and set sail again.
Look at the main peak with majestic mountains.
— — On the new journey of strengthening the country and the army, at the critical juncture of national rejuvenation, it is the aspiration of the party and the people to establish the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader as the core of the CPC Central Committee and the whole party, and to establish Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era as the party’s guiding ideology.
In a magnificent era, there are bound to be moments of stirring people’s hearts.
A year ago, in the golden autumn of Beijing, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee established the core position of the Supreme Leader General Secretary in the CPC Central Committee and the whole party, and the thunderous clapping sound of the Great Hall of the People was still in my ears.
This is the heartfelt reverence and love of all party comrades, and this is the emotional recognition of hundreds of millions of people pursuing their dreams.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has faced difficulties, forged ahead, made historic achievements in reform, opening up and socialist modernization, and promoted historic changes in the cause of the party and the state:
Great achievements have been made in economic construction, major breakthroughs have been made in comprehensively deepening reform, great strides have been made in building democracy and the rule of law, great progress has been made in ideological and cultural construction, people’s lives have been continuously improved, remarkable achievements have been made in building ecological civilization, strengthening the army and opening up a new situation, new progress has been made in the work of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, all-round diplomatic layout has been carried out in depth, and remarkable results have been achieved in comprehensively administering the party strictly … …
The achievements in the past five years are all-round and groundbreaking, and the changes in the past five years are deep-seated and fundamental. Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era.
New practice breeds new ideas. On the basis of adhering to the basic principles of Marxism, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core creatively adhered to and developed scientific socialism, opened up a new realm of the development of Marxism in China in the 21st century, and created the Supreme Leader’s New Era Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought.
Do great things, solve difficult problems, turn the tide and start a new game.
Carrying out great struggles, building great projects, advancing great undertakings and realizing great dreams, a series of great practices and theoretical innovations have poured into the ideals and beliefs of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people and people’s feelings, demonstrated the political courage and responsibility of the CPC Central Committee, and demonstrated the great talent and leadership style of the Supreme Leader General Secretary. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader made great efforts to turn the tide, made overall plans for internal affairs, foreign affairs and national defense, and led the party, state and army in running the country. He spared no pains for the long-term stability of the party and the country and won the party’s heart, military heart and popular support. He is a well-deserved strong core of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in the new era.
In the election of the Party’s 19th National Congress, the Supreme Leader was unanimously elected. When the members of the 19th Central Committee were elected, the supreme leader was unanimously elected. When the first plenary session of the 19th Central Committee elected the new central collective leadership, the supreme leader comrade was unanimously elected as the general secretary of the Central Committee again. Thunderous applause rang again and again, and it lasted for a long time … …
One vote represents the party’s heart and public opinion, and applause conveys trust expectations again and again — — It is the great fortune of the party, the army and the people to have the Supreme Leader General Secretary as the core of the party, the commander-in-chief of the army and the leader of the people! It is the hope, strength and victory to realize the goal of "two hundred years", the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the people’s yearning for a better life!
Marked by the victory of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China entered the historical intersection of the goal of "two hundred years" — —
By 2020, it is necessary to build a well-off society in an all-round way and achieve the goal of the first century, but also to take advantage of the situation to start a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way and March towards the goal of the second century.
At the same time, the situation at home and abroad is undergoing profound and complex changes, and China’s development is still in an important period of strategic opportunities, with bright prospects and severe challenges. Facing difficulties, carrying out great struggles with many new historical characteristics, and taking a good long March in the new era, the party’s leadership is crucial, and the leadership core is particularly important.
The cross-flow of the sea shows the mainstay, and the mountains are majestic to see the main peak.
In this critical period of connecting the past with the future, the whole party, the whole army and the people of all nationalities in the country have a common expectation, that is, they hope to elect a good central leadership collective, and under the leadership of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, continue to consolidate achievements, overcome difficulties and forge ahead bravely, and write a magnificent chapter in the new journey of socialist modernization.
Qian Qiu Wei ye ju ying Cai
— — Focusing on the cause of the party and the long-term prosperity of the country, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has made overall plans for the nomination of candidates for the new central leading bodies.
The key to the great cause of the Millennium lies in people. The key to governing the country lies in employing people.
The new era calls for a new strong collective leadership.
How to produce a new central collective leadership with the Supreme Leader General Secretary as the core and lead China into the future is expected by the whole party, concerned by the whole people and attracted worldwide attention.
Party constitution stipulates that the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Party shall be elected by the plenary session of the Central Committee.
According to this provision, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will elect a new Central Committee and the 1st Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee will elect a new central leading body.
In this regard, the CPC Central Committee attaches great importance to it.
General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that our party is a big party with more than 89 million people in party member. Being in power in a big country with a population of more than one billion, it has a heavy burden and great responsibility on its shoulders, and it is necessary to form a central leading collective that is politically firm, united, strong and energetic.
Under the overall planning of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, the nomination of candidates for the new central leading bodies has been carried out in an orderly manner … …
From the beginning of 2017, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader listened carefully to Comrade The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC)’s opinions on how to prepare the candidates for the new central leadership.
It is unanimously agreed that, on the basis of summing up the relevant practices of the 16th, 17th and 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and drawing lessons from the practices and experience of the 19th "two committees" candidates and the inspection work of provincial party committees, we should take the form of talk and investigation to listen to recommendations and suggestions face to face in a certain range on the candidates for the new the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, the Standing Committee and the Secretariat, the candidates for the Central Military Commission, the candidates for leading members in the State Council who need to be considered as a whole, and the newly promoted candidates in the National People’s Congress and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Party.
On April 24, 2017, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader presided over the The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) meeting to conduct special research, and discussed and adopted the Arrangement Plan for Talks and Research on the Brewing of Candidates for the 19th Central Leading Body. Conversation, investigation and candidate preparation are conducted under the direct leadership of the Supreme Leader General Secretary. Mainly follow the following principles:
— — Focus on promoting the overall layout of the "five in one" and coordinating the promotion of the "four comprehensive" strategic layout, implement the new development concept, build a well-off society in an all-round way, and constantly promote the development of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era; Focus on improving the party’s leadership level and ruling ability, maintaining and developing the party’s advanced nature and purity, promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance ability, and consolidating the party’s ruling position; Focus on the successors and prosperity of the party’s cause, and ensure the long-term stability of the party and the country.
— — Adhere to the standards of politicians’ groups, adhere to all corners of the country, appoint people on their merits, adhere to both ability and political integrity, put morality first, put career first, be fair and upright, strictly control politics and integrity, and select and employ people accurately and scientifically.
— — We will further improve and perfect the mechanism for the generation of party and state leaders, and actively and steadily promote the replacement of old and new leaders at the top of the party and state.
— — Adhere to the principle that the Party is in charge of cadres, implement democratic centralism, give full play to inner-party democracy, and improve the quality and effectiveness of democracy. Talk and research focus on brainstorming and unified understanding, without limiting the number of recommendations, and the number of recommended votes is used as a reference, not taking people by votes. According to the requirements of cadres’ conditions, consistent performance and team structure, we will study and propose candidates for the new central leading bodies.
The selection scheme for the new Central Military Commission should emphasize the adherence to political standards, focus on preparing for war, optimize the structural layout, and pay attention to the echelon allocation of the old, middle-aged and young.
According to these principles, the Central Committee has put forward the conditions for recommending candidates:
— — Loyalty to the Party, firm belief, firm establishment of "four consciousnesses" and "four self-confidences", firm implementation of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era, and high consistency with the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, are qualified Marxist politicians.
— — Strong leadership, rich practical experience, strong revolutionary dedication, spirit of reform and innovation and seeking truth from facts, courage to take responsibility, correct outlook on political achievements and outstanding work performance.
— — Take the lead in implementing democratic centralism, consciously safeguard the authority and centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core, be good at uniting comrades, be fair and upright, and be broad-minded.
— — Have the world outlook, outlook on life and values of communist party people, take the lead in adhering to principles, take the lead in observing the party’s discipline and rules, have a good style, be honest and upright, and have a high prestige and a good image inside and outside the party.
Referring to the previous practice, according to the needs of the development of the cause of the party and the state and the reality of the construction of the central leading body, the central government also put forward clear requirements on the scope, age and structure of the recommended candidates.
Everyone agrees that the Central Committee’s principles on the preparation of candidates for the new central leading bodies are scientific and reasonable, the standard conditions for recommending candidates are clear and definite, and the recommended scope, age and structure requirements are in line with reality, which reflects the foresight of the CPC Central Committee.
Democratic science condenses consensus
— — A series of new ways and measures have been adopted in the selection of candidates for the new central leading bodies, which embodies the new mechanism and orientation of selecting and employing people and shows the new style and image of the party.
In late May 2017, a leading cadre at the provincial and ministerial level was informed to come to Beijing to participate in the organization talk.
The meeting place is arranged in Zhongnanhai. As soon as I arrived in the waiting room, three materials were already on the table — — Relevant Arrangements of Conversation and Investigation, Roster of Current Party and State Leaders party member and Roster of Leading Cadres at Provincial and Ministerial Level in party member.
According to the working procedure of conversation research, arrange sufficient time for the cadres to read the materials and think carefully and prepare independently.
On this basis, the central leading comrades listened to the cadre’s recommendation on the candidates for the new central leading bodies by face-to-face talks.
"There is no limit to the number of referees, talk as much as you know, talk as you think, seek truth from facts and speak freely." The cadre felt afterwards, "As a comrade working in a local area, I have the opportunity and qualification to express my opinions and recommend the candidates for the new central leading body. This is the high trust of the CPC Central Committee, which fully reflects our party’s democratic style and broad mind, and reflects our party’s fine tradition of concentrating the wisdom of the whole party."
In the form of individual interviews and research, face-to-face listening to the recommendations and relevant suggestions for the candidates of the central leading bodies within a certain range is a major innovation in the nomination of candidates for the 19 th central leading bodies.
This major innovation is embodied in drawing lessons from historical experience and exploring new ways and measures to select and employ people — —
Our party has a fine tradition in selecting high-level leaders of the party and the state, and has been actively exploring, with experience and lessons. The 17th and 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China adopted the method of meeting recommendation. However, due to the excessive emphasis on the weight of votes, it brought some disadvantages: some comrades simply "ticked off" during the meeting recommendation process, which led to random voting and distorted public opinion, and even voted for relationship votes and human votes. Zhou Yongkang, Sun Zhengcai and Ling Jihua, who have been investigated and dealt with by the Central Committee, used the recommendation of the meeting to engage in non-organizational activities such as canvassing and bribery.
Adhering to the problem orientation, the Central Committee has innovated and improved the selection method of the new central leading body, emphasized the democratic orientation, improved democratic methods and improved the quality of democracy, and decided to gradually select the candidates for the central leading body on the basis of in-depth inspection and strict control of the candidates for the 19th "two committees" through talks, investigations, listening to opinions, repeated brewing and meeting decisions.
From late April to June 2017, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader specially arranged time to talk with the current party and state leading comrades, members of the Central Military Commission, and old comrades in the party, fully listening to opinions and talking with 57 people before and after.
According to The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC)’s arrangement, the relevant leading comrades of the Central Committee respectively listened to the opinions of 258 leading comrades in charge of party member at the provincial and ministerial level and in the military theater and other members of the 18th Central Committee. The responsible comrades of the Central Military Commission respectively listened to the opinions of 32 leading comrades in the current theater and the main responsible comrades in the theater-level departments of the military commission.
This way of taking individual interviews and listening to opinions and suggestions face to face has won unanimous praise from comrades who participated in the talks. It is generally felt that the plan is well thought out, the work arrangement is meticulous, the program is well designed, and the discipline requirements are strict, so that the opinions reflected are more comprehensive, more true and more accurate.
This major innovation is reflected in the insistence on selecting people by things and forming a new mechanism and new orientation for organizational work — —
In the interview recommendation work, the Central Committee made clear the conditions for recommending candidates, insisted on selecting candidates according to the standards of Marxist politicians group, and paid attention to the integration of knowledge and practice; Adhere to the career-oriented, meritocratic, pay attention to work ability and practical experience; Adhere to the strict integrity and style of candidates, and pay attention to image and word of mouth.
Strict standards, career first, comrades who participated in the conversation spoke highly of this and unanimously agreed.
Everyone thinks that the leadership positions of the party and the state are not "iron chairs" or "iron hats", and those who meet the age may not necessarily continue to nominate, mainly according to the political performance, integrity and career needs of the candidates, and they can stay and transfer, be promoted and demoted.
Everyone reflected that the selection of candidates for the 19th Central Leading Body has improved the scientific employment mechanism, which is of far-reaching significance for further forming a good inner-party political ecology and enhancing the scientificity and credibility of cadre selection.
Many comrades said that it is an effective way to fully develop inner-party democracy in the new situation to listen to opinions widely on the high-level personnel arrangements of the party and the state on such a large scale, and it is a successful practice to improve and perfect the mechanism for the generation of party and state leaders, and advocates a new correct orientation for employing people.
This major innovation is embodied in adhering to a clean and upright style and reshaping the party’s new style and new image — —
With a glorious political mission and heavy political responsibility, and a highly responsible attitude towards the cause of the party and the state, the comrades who participated in the conversation were serious, knowing everything and saying everything, telling the truth and expressing their opinions fairly.
Comrades who participated in the conversation were very serious and cautious when thinking and preparing, and some drew up the outline of the conversation; In the conversation, everyone can speak freely, not only giving full recommendations, but also many comrades put forward good suggestions on the construction of the central leadership team; Some comrades called to supplement their opinions after returning from the conversation, and some also specially submitted written materials … …
"The conversation process is also a test and party spirit education for me, and it is a vivid practice for senior leading cadres to participate in political life within the party." Everyone reported that this method has overcome all kinds of disadvantages brought by the previous "pushing by the sea at the conference" and "drawing votes and ticking", and there is no undercurrent, and the wind is always clean and upright.
Fully communicate and brew, and unite the will of the whole party.
On the basis of comprehensive opinions and suggestions, on September 25, 2017, The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) put forward a proposal for the composition of the new central leadership.
The proposal for the selection of leading members of the new Central Commission for Discipline Inspection was put forward by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Central Organization Department after deliberation and discussion. The proposal for the composition of the new Central Military Commission was put forward to the Central Committee by the Central Military Commission after collective discussion.
On September 29th, Politburo meeting of the Chinese Communist Party deliberated and approved the list of candidates for the new central leadership, and decided to submit it to the First Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee and the First Plenary Session of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for election, adoption and decision respectively.
The process of the emergence of the new central leading body is a process of adhering to the party’s leadership and fully carrying forward democracy, and condensing the wisdom of the whole party. It is a process of doing things in strict accordance with party constitution, the system and the procedures, and a process of constantly improving and perfecting the mechanism for the emergence of party and state leaders, which fully shows that our party is more United, unified, mature and confident.
Sail in the wind and waves
— — The new central leading body has brought together outstanding ruling backbones from all walks of life of the whole party. They will unite and lead the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country to carry out great struggles, build great projects, advance great undertakings and realize great dreams with lofty sentiments and high spirits.
On October 24th, the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China elected the new Central Committee and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
On October 25th, the first plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Committee elected a new central leading body.
This is a leading group that embodies the will of the whole party, embodies the consensus of the whole party, reflects the expectations of the people, and deserves the full trust of the whole party, the whole army and the people of all ethnic groups throughout the country — —
The new central leading bodies are composed of ruling party backbones who meet the standards of Marxist politicians, can adapt to the overall layout of "five in one" and coordinate the promotion of "four comprehensive" strategic layouts, have the professional quality of solving difficult problems in reform and coping with various risks, have rich leadership experience and mass work skills, are loyal, clean and responsible, and have high prestige among cadres and the masses.
This is a leading group that links the past with the future and carries forward the future, fully embodying the style of contemporary the Communist Party of China (CPC) people — —
The 19th the Political Bureau of the Central Committee consists of 25 comrades who are familiar with all aspects and fields of work, all of whom have higher education and professional knowledge, and have a reasonable structure. Some of them work in local areas, some in central and state organs, some comrades in the army and some lesbians. Among them, 10 comrades were nominated by the 18th members of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, 3 comrades were transferred from the National People’s Congress and leading comrades in the State Council, and 12 comrades were newly promoted.
This is a leading group full of vigor and vitality, which can meet the needs of the long-term development of the cause of the party and the state — —
The advance and retreat ratio of the new central leading body is relatively appropriate, maintaining the continuity of personnel and work, and actively and steadily realizing the alternation of old and new senior leaders of the party and the state. A group of leading cadres who have both ability and political integrity and are in the prime of life have entered the new the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, which fully reflects the prosperity and success of our party.
When the new central leading bodies were considering candidates and soliciting opinions, some leading comrades of the Party and the state put the interests of the Party and the people first, and took the initiative to step down in the spirit of being highly responsible for national development and national rejuvenation, so as to let relatively young comrades come up, showing the broad mind and integrity of communist party people.
Pilot a new era and start a new journey.
On the morning of October 25, 2017, the East Hall of the Great Hall of the People was brightly lit and the atmosphere was warm. At 11: 54, the Supreme Leader of the 19th Central Committee, General Secretary of communist party, China, and Li Keqiang, Li Zhanshu, Wang Yang, Wang Huning, Zhao Leji and Han Zheng of The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) entered the East Hall and had a cordial meeting with Chinese and foreign journalists covering the 19th Party Congress.
With vigorous steps and calm posture, the central leading comrades showed calm and heroic bearing and enterprising spirit in front of the camera and flash.
On behalf of the members of the new central leading body, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader sincerely thanked the comrades of the whole party for their trust, and said that he must be conscientious, diligent, and live up to his mission and trust. He said that in the past five years, we have done a lot of work, some have been completed, and some will continue to do so. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward new goals and tasks, and we should make overall plans to implement them. As long as we are deeply rooted in the people and rely on them closely, we can gain infinite strength and forge ahead courageously, rain or shine.
This is the confidence of the leader of the new era, this is the responsibility of a ruling party, and this is the hope of the great national rejuvenation.
The new central collective leadership with the Supreme Leader as the core will unite and lead the whole party and the people of all nationalities in China, hold high the great banner of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, forge ahead with determination, work hard, win the decisive victory in building a well-off society in an all-round way, win the great victory of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and lead the ship carrying the great dream of the people of China to sail forward through the waves and sail to the glorious other side.
